The Finnieston

Nestled amongst the various pubs and restaurants that line Glasgow’s lively Argyle Street, The Finnieston is a name that stands out. Known throughout the city for their impeccable seafood as well as their gin bar, The Finnieston is one of the West End’s best-loved establishments. Whether it’s for a meal or drinks, this popular bar and restaurant pulls in crowds from all over the city so book a table in advance to avoid disappointment.

Located in Finnieston, an area that was once a derelict wasteland and is now home to a number of trendy, upscale bars and eateries, The Finnieston bar and restaurant was one of the first establishments to turn this Glasgow district into a West End hotspot. Situated right on Argyle Street, this stylish joint focuses on creating dishes from sustainable and ethically-sourced Scottish produce.

From decadent options like oysters with panko bread crumbs, wasabi emulsion and black sesame to old classics like market-fresh fish and chips served with tartare sauce, pea compote and a jar of pickles, The Finnieston’s menu is full of choices. We recommend sharing some of the small plates like stuffed Shetland squid, pan-seared Tarbet scallops and steamed lemon sole to sample the best of the Scottish seafood on offer. Also boasting Glasgow’s original and best gin cocktail bar, you’ll find a lengthy list of junipery concoctions on offer at The Finnieston as well as a range of speciality beers, making it a favourite West End spot for both drinks and dinner.
