What’s better than finding somewhere you can snuggle down in with a beer and preferably a roaring fire. We hope you like these places that we like to escape into…

 

Merchant City

Babbity Bowster

One of Glasgow’s oldest bars hidden down a street that many people still don’t know about. Real ales on tap, great pub food and a fantastic restaurant upstairs. It has a smashing roaring fire in the bar.

Boudoir Wine Bar

Tea lights, wine, and secluded seating (and cake!). Somewhere for a date or to rekindle your love for wine, preferably with your favourite person with you 😉
