Where: 69 Renfield Street, Glasgow G2 1LF

Review: “Went in for a cocktail, and was greeted by Krystal. I wasn’t too sure what cocktail I wanted, Krystal took the time to go over the cocktails and a preferred flavour. She explained the new cocktail menu. I decided to go for the Juicy Vimto. Krystal was fast and efficient at making the cocktail and it tasted unbelievable. She is very chatty, knowledgeable and well experienced. Credit to your team.”

• The Scotia

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (236 reviews)

Where: 112 Stockwell Street, Glasgow G1 4LW

Review: “I knew this was going to be the place for us when we discovered the pub guitar. The choice of beers is superb, my companion settled on having 2 halves of different brews as he just couldn’t decide which he preferred. Really enjoyed a wee jam with Ryan and I sang in public for the first time in a long time - that is how comfortable I felt. Will really miss this place.”
