The area around the national stadium continues to grow and there is no shortage of great local pubs to nip into for a cold beer or whatever your preferred tipple is.
If you are looking to get over to Hampden early, here is our list of 12 of the best spots around the stadium that are great to stop by before heading to the match for a bite to eat or drink.
5. Queens Park Cafe
Situated at the top of Victoria Road, the Queens Park Café is a popular venue for Scotland fans before and after games. It is situated near Queens Park station and has a number of different beers on offer as well as a cracking pint of Guinness. 530 Victoria Rd, Glasgow G42 8BG. | Queens Park Cafe
6. The Real Wan
The Real Wan is a family run Chinese Street Food restaurant, owned by Lea Wu Hassan. Lea made the move from home cook to business owner in October 2020, and The Real Wan has built a reputation as one of the best examples of authentic Chinese cooking to be found in Glasgow. Now after a protracted delay, Lea has moved from a cafe in Cathcart to a new home in Mount Florida and is well worth a visit. | The Real Wan
