Art Deco Glamour and Scotland's Biggest Gantry
The Spiritualist sits on Miller Street in Glasgow city centre, at number 62, postcode G1 1DT, a short walk from both Central and Queen Street stations. It works as a cocktail bar and small plate restaurant, and it commits hard to an art deco look, with mood lighting and a long, theatrical bar.
The headline feature is the gantry. The venue bills it as Scotland's greatest bar gantry, an oversized back bar stacked with spirits, liqueurs, wines, and craft beers. Foodie Explorers describes the interior as glamorous and modern, the kind of room that photographs well and fills with an after work crowd.
The cocktail list is the reason to come, with house creations like the Rhubarbara Streisand and the Raspberry Beret that regulars name on Tripadvisor. The drinks are described as excellent and creative, and the staff as friendly and knowledgeable. Order a signature rather than an off menu classic to get the bar at its best.
The Spiritualist runs busy with after work and weekend drinkers, and it leans upscale. Some Tripadvisor reviewers find it pricey and a touch pretentious, so it suits a night when you want polish over value. The small plates work better as a snack than a full dinner.
This is a dress up cocktail bar with one of the city's most theatrical back bars, best for a creative signature drink. Pair it with nearby central rooms like The Absent Ear Glasgow, Gin71 Glasgow, and Saint Judes Glasgow.
