The Corinthian

The Corinthian Club is based in one of the most impressive grade A buildings in Glasgow, with 5 beautiful floors. During the winter months, it is lovely to enjoy a meal under their 26-foot glass dome, but in the summer, their rooftop bar opens up. There is nothing better than enjoying a drink with a view, except maybe one of their brunches.

Almost ten years ago, Glasgow welcomed the Private members clubs new rooftop bar into the city, which is open every day of the week. They have a variety of seating available, including private areas and gazeboes. You can choose from a selection of premium drinks, and since Moet and Chandon invested in the bar, it is no surprise that the champagne brand is also on the menu.
Chinaskis

This British pub has it all, from lunch and dinner to snacks and drinks. They even have a selection of food suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Jinty McGinty’s
29 Ashton Ln, Hillhead, Glasgow G12 8SJ
