Perfect for a summer’s evening, The Lab combines elements of a traditional Glasgow city centre pub with something a little more upmarket. It offers a wide range of draught and bottled beers, along with a good selection of spirits and their ‘test tube’ shooters — oh, and apparently the white Russians are good, too.
It can […]
Peel Holdings, the owners of Clydeport, have unveiled a revised masterplan for the Clyde Harbour development, with more than 30 hectares of the 52 hectare site being redesigned according to a report by the BBC.
The original proposals date from 2001, and have been modified to include a 30 storey skyscraper and a regional casino. Over […]
There are no ugly people, only too little vodka.
From the Vodka Wodka website
Vodka Wodka is a tiny bar on Ashton Lane in the city’s West End. It serves a range of Polish, Russian and Scandinavian vodkas, along with cocktails and draught and bottled beers.
It’s an ideal place to grab a quick drink, or […]
Ashton Lane, which runs parallel to Byres Road, features pretty universally in guide books to the city — it’s an attractive cobbled street, full of cosy (and not-so-cosy) bars, pubs and restaurants.
It’s very easy to spend a whole evening there, perhaps starting in the Ashoka, one of the Glasgow-based Harlequin Group’s popular Indian restuarants, or […]
The Buchanan Galleries opened in 1999, and is home to 80 shops over 56000 square metres of retail space — John Lewis occupies the largest unit in the centre.

It houses a mixture of temporary exhibitions alongside a permanent collection featuring works primarily by local and other British artists.
Formerly a private house, bank and library, […]
A cut above the ordinary, Princes Square is a shopping centre on Buchanan Street which hosts a range of relatively upmarket shops, along with a selection of restaurants.
The elegant building dates from 1841, and became Princes Square (with additional art nouveau atrium and sweeping escalators) in the mid-1980s; at the time it was a novel […]
Donald Dewar, the former First Minister, is immortalised in a statue at the junction of Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street, outside the Royal Concert Hall.
Originally unveiled in 2002 by Tony Blair, the statue has had a chequered history. It was damaged within days of installation — the damage, originally thought to be vandalism, was later […]
Where The Monkey Sleeps (WTMS), which opened in 2001, offers an eclectic range of sandwiches, film-star-themed smoothies and great coffee to boot.
A popular haunt with office workers and bicycle couriers alike, it can get very busy on weekday lunchtimes — however, pop in later in the day or mid-morning and you’ll find it blissfully calm, […]
