If you're looking for one of the best bars on Ashton Lane, you may have just found it. From its charming terrace seating down to the botanical cocktail list and menu of delightfully fresh eats, there's no place in Glasgow quite like The Gardener.
Up there as one of Ashton Lane's top bars, Hillhead Bookclub is a winner when it comes to cracking food and even better cocktails, as well as raucous nights out and fabulous Lady Balls bingo events. And the best part? Its prices won't break the bank either.

An ode to Belgium, Brel is one of the best restaurants and bars on Ashton Lane. Along with incredible food (we highly recommend the mussels) and an awesome selection of craft beer, this quirky spot has a rustic, yet chic feel inside with some cracking alfresco vibes outdoors.
Fronting unique drinks such as banana and mango daiquiris or a Pink Cucumber gin blend, the plant and fairy light-filled Grosvenor Café is a grand bar to head to for after work tipples in Glasgow. Chow down on juicy burgers, hand-stretched pizzas and all sorts of small plates when you get peckish, or get stuck into cocktail trees galore.
From delicious lunches to relaxing brunches, Innis & Gunn Ashton Lane is all about the very best in beers and bites. This craft brewery lies at the heart of the West End, churning out impressive pints; you can even spend a day here at their special Brew School.
Jinty McGuinty's is the area's Irish bar of choice, offering a buzzing atmosphere, an impressive beer garden, pints of Guinness and lively music every night of the week. If you're looking for friendly faces and a bit of banter, this is the place to be.
A restaurant bar that's an Ashton Lane institution, Ubiquitous Chip is a mecca for foodies, whisky fans and wine buffs alike. Boasting beautiful yet sprawling interiors, it features several different areas to dine and drink in, from the pretty botanical courtyard to the Wee Bar.
