Home (Glasgow Bar)

Bar Home is one of Glasgow’s greatest bars for students, it is located in Albion street in Merchant City, it is always busy and full of people who are having a great night out. They have got some booths and chairs in there so to get a seat, get in there early or book a booth before you go!

They have a variety of different food and drink offers and they also have a fantastic cocktail menu. Sometimes it is good to line your stomach so having some food before hitting the ridiculous amounts of vodka and shots that we all seem to consume on a night out.

so if it is food that you are looking for then fear not because they have some great deals throughout the week; you can get 2 main meals for £6.45 every day of the week and 2 for 1 on all desserts. You can’t ask much more for good value for money right?

You still get a great experience from bar home even no all there drinks are exceptionally cheap! This is where I would recommend that you start your night off as it has a great ambience, and the staff are fun and friendly. It is definitely one of the top bars to pre-drink in before you hit a nightclub!

Vodka Wodka (Bar Glasgow)



Vodka Wodka is located in the west end of Glasgow on the beautiful Ashton lane. As you can tell by the name, this is a vodka bar with over 70 speciality different vodkas from all around the world! So brilliant if you fancy something a wee bit different!

This place is aimed for students usually during the week, however when the weekend hits it's somewhere for everyone. And don't worry if you don't like vodka! Vodka wodka also have a delicious range of cocktails. You can also enjoy great food here! An Italian menu is served between 12-7pm so even better for the wee hour lunch or between lectures.

During the summer this is the place to be as it has a conservatory which is great chilling out with friends over some nice vodkas! This place is brilliant for a night out especially in the heart of the west end ... for any other enquires head over to their website http://www.vodkawodka.co.uk/

And remember guys....

Gala Casino (Glasgow Casino)

Gala Casino, Glassford Street, Merchant City, Glasgow.

We thought we would try something a little bit different to our usual restaurant/club reviews, so we said what the heck, CASINO! Gala Casinos are just one of the few casino groups to populate Glasgow, but they have 3 casinos under their wing in Glasgow! One at the riverboat down by Glasgow Central station, Princes, Sauchiehall street and the other in the Merchant city, the one we focus on today.

“I’ve never been in a casino before,” well don’t panic, the casino is relaxed and not how you ma have pictured. The entrance is smart and professional like, as you would expect with a casino, but the staff are friendly and know what they are doing, I mean, try watching all the chips on a roulette board and having to calculate and remember how much chips a customer has to get! Scary!

The casino has a large bar downstairs where the main action takes place (the roulette, blackjack tables etc), there is even a specified Poker ROOM, out of the way from the busy loud tables. With buy-ins of around £100 per table, you can enjoy a game of poker for a reasonable price (for a poker game at a casino that is!). The drinks can be as generic or creative as you like, with bottled ciders and beer, up to fancy cocktails and drinks prepared by the bar tenders.

(Restaurant, Merchant Grill)

 

The casino believe it or not, is not just about gambling! You can even grab some grub from the restaurant area (Merhchant grill), great food at a surprisingly cheap price! Massive monitors allow you to watch sports such as the UFC, with the casino open late, you can sit back and watch the fight with your mates!

There is even a dance floor area upstairs!

 

Obviously we are recommending you try this place out, but bet responsibly and drink responsibly when there! Treat it as a casual night with some friends having good fun, we wouldn’t suggest going crazy and slapping your car keys on the table as your stake!

But, in all seriousness, try it out, don’t be put off by the ‘fear of the casino’ or any stigma and stereotypes you hear about the place!

Bar Budda (Glasgow Bar)

Bar Budda, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. Just recently visited this bar after hearing good things, have to say it lived up to the hype! Loved the layout with great booth space where there was plenty of space for a group of us. We used the bar as a pre-drink night before Jellybaby on Thursday (as Bar Budda give out free passes to Jbaby, hint hint!), we could easily have stayed there and made a whole night of it. While not being overly busy this night, we sat in our booth with a mixture of shots, Jaeger bombs and some bar budda cocktails and had a genuinely great time. The music was on point, with hit after hit and generally created a great vibe for the place.

I loved the privacy you get form the booths with the walls, it makes a night out with your friends really special. The staff were chatty and upbeat even when 2 of the guys got a load of cocktails in! The music was loud but not overpowering so we could chat, which was a great bonus. The lighting was dim and gave the bar a great look with candle lights and great big Buddha statues shining away.

From word of mouth, they do great deals for hen and stag parties and other such groups. The food we hear is great value and pretty damn tasty too. So, thumbs up for Bar Budda in Glasgow!
