Itinerary
Six stops, one evening, walkable. The night you'd take a friend on a Friday in Glasgow.
17:30 — Aperitif · City Centre · $$$ · Cocktail Bars
Glasgow's most awarded cocktail bar. Start polished. Order something stirred and bracing — a martini, a manhattan, or whatever the bar's house spec is. You're warming up the palate, not chasing trends.
01:00 — Last drink · City Centre · $$ · Craft Beer
Craft brewery taproom in City Centre pouring twelve house taps and the city's most adventurous local beers. End on something simple. A clean martini, a Negroni, a whisky and water. Tip your bartender. Walk home or take a quiet cab.
The order matters. We start polished, peak in the middle, end somewhere quieter than we started. You can swap any room for a closer alternative — every bar listed has at least two backups within a five-minute walk.
Total time: about seven hours. Total spend: depends on you, but plan £80-£150 per person across the night. Save this page, send it to whoever you're meeting, and treat the timings as guidance, not gospel.
