What is it about barbecues that makes them so freaking tasty? There's something about that waft of chargrilled meat that lets us know it's summertime. Well luckily for Glasgwegians, we don't have to settle for home-cooked/burnt burgers next time we fancy a BBQ. There are a few cracking bars with BBQs in Glasgow just waiting to feed you some great sunny day grub. So grab yourself a beer, and peruse our list of BBQ bars in Glasgow...

Ark has one of the sunniest beer gardens in Glasgow, so these guys sure know how to make the most of it when the sun comes out. The BBQs at this fun Merchant City pub are sporadic, but well worth catching on dry day. Fuss-free but delicious, expect BBQ staples like burgers and sausages. With tonnes of picnic benches, there's plenty of space for al fresco eating at this cool Glasgow BBQ bar.
Record Faktory is a very fun bar with a BBQ in Glasgow's. With a big, open yard for a beer garden, this West End bar is the perfect place for a day to night summer party. The BBQ keeps blazing all weekend, with a tasty selection of fare on sunny days 'til 8pm. Be sure to get down early if it's a scorcher, this place gets packed.
Smoak also flaunts their tasty Texan wares at Variety Bar on Sauchiehall Street. This time you don't have to wait for the sun to come out, as Variety's BBQ can we eaten indoors. With the same incredible pulled pork and briskets on bread, this is one tasty BBQ in Glasgow, and the perfect precursor for your night out in the City Centre.
Lebowskis is bar on Argyle Street, famous for three things. Incredible cocktails, super-sized burgers, and mighty banter. Combine those with a hot day and you have yourself one fun BBQ bar in Glasgow. These guys don't light the barbie every week, but when they do, it's pretty dang awesome, and one heck of an excuse to party.
Perhaps one of the most glorious spots to sit in Glasgow on a sunny day, Inn Deep is a bar with a bbq in a rather picturesque location. Nestled into the bank of the Kelvin river, the beer garden at Inn Deep is simply gorgeous, add in some ice-cold craft and piping hot meat and you have yourself something of stellar combination at this West End pub.
The sun doesn't need to shine for it to be BBQ weather at Meat. The City Centre cocktail bar and restaurant have their very own smoker pit ovens where they slow cook tender cuts for twelve hours, so make them melt-in-your-mouth good. Pulled-pork shoulder, ginger-rubbed smokey pork, Kansas style ribs; it's enough to make us want one of their rib-infused rums. Almost.
The Finnieston does great food all year round, but when the sun comes out, they go one better and take it outside. The BBQ in the beer garden of this Argyle Street bar is incredible. Not just your usual charred bangers and burgers, these guys dish up such delights as octopus, straight off the barbie. Fishy Fridays are the night to head down and with live music every week - and some of the best cocktails in town - this is one of the tastiest bars with BBQs in Glasgow.
Sloans is a Central Glasgow bar with a penchant for celebration, so of course, any sign of a heatwave, and these guys throw a party - a BBQ party. With their quaint location on a lane, just off Buchanan Street, the BBQs here feel more like a family affair, despite being in the middle of the city. One of the loveliest bars with BBQs in Glasgow.
