Closed, and Reborn as 1802 at Hutchesons Hall

Hutchesons City Grill traded inside the landmark Hutchesons' Hall at 158 Ingram Street in Glasgow's Merchant City, with a steak and seafood brasserie upstairs and a darker cocktail bar below. It has since closed. Fodor's Travel lists the City Grill as no longer in operation, and the building reopened in May 2023 under new management as 1802 at Hutchesons' Hall.

The hall itself dates to the early 1800s, built to a David Hamilton design, and Wikipedia records its long civic history before it became a restaurant. The 2014 incarnation, Hutcheson's Steak and Seafood House, did not survive the lockdown years, which is when the City Grill name fell away. DRAM Scotland reported the 1802 relaunch in May 2023.

If you searched for Hutchesons City Grill, the room you want is now 1802 at Hutchesons' Hall, at the same Ingram Street address, serving cocktails and food across the restored floors. The downstairs bar with its dark wood and plants remains the more intimate seat, as it was under the old name.

For drinkers who want the Merchant City around it, the surrounding streets carry strong bars within a short walk. Pair a visit with nearby rooms like Sloans Glasgow, Saint Judes Glasgow, and The Absent Ear Glasgow.

Who It's For
