The Glasgow bar with food and live music that was named 'Scotland's best pub'
Out of all of Scotland's cities, it is hard to beat Glasgow when it comes to pubs. The country's biggest city is home to countless drinking venues to suit every style and taste.
If you are looking for the best of the best, however, one Glasgow bar was recently named the number one in the country. As we previously reported, The Scallion took home the 'Best Pub' prize at the Entertainment and Hospitality Awards earlier this month.
The Scallion is a gastropub located on Great Western Road in Glasgow's popular West End. It can be reached from the city centre in approximately 30 minutes on foot.
The pub offers a wide variety of drinks, with a large range of beer and cider on draught. There is also a selection of whisky and other spirits on offer, as well as white, red, and rosé wines.
Customers can also order a range of cocktails for £10, including the 'Drumstick' and the 'June-bug'. The former is made with vanilla and raspberry vodka and raspberry puree, while the latter includes rum, melon, coconut, and banana liqueur.
In terms of things to eat, The Scallion states that it serves "the highest quality food" using "carefully sourced ingredients". It serves up a varied menu, with a large range of mains and sides available.
Mains on offer include pub classics like fish and chips, steak pie, steak sandwich, and lasagne. Visitors can also enjoy pizza, wings, and more.
There is also a Sunday Roast menu available, which is suitable for both traditional and vegan diets. Visitors can choose from sliced beef, Ayrshire ham, or Quorn chicken fillet and sausage, with sides such as rosemary, thyme and garlic roast potatoes, maple glazed carrots and parsnips, and white wine braised savoy cabbage.
Meanwhile, The Scallion showcases live sports fixtures and live music. It also features a jukebox, as well as having a pool table.
In addition to winning the 'Best Pub' award at the Entertainment and Hospitality Awards, The Scallion has earned positive feedback from visitors.
The bar has an average rating of 4.2 out of five on Google based on 192 reviews. One recent customer posted: "Superb pub for food and drinks.
