Glasgow city centre pub crowned one of the best in the UK at the 2026 Pub and Bar Awards
A city centre pub near Glasgow Central station has been named as one of the best in Scotland.
Glasgow city centre favourite The Noble has been named as one of the best pubs across the UK in 2026 by the 2026 Pub and Bar Awards.
More than 250 pubs and bars were in the running to be named pub of the year at the National Pub and Bar Awards 2026, with the top prize being awarded to Norfolk’s Gunton Arms.
Plenty of other awards were handed out on the night as the awards highlight the best pubs in each of the UK’s 94 counties and in its 13 wider regions. The Ferry Inn pub on the Isle of Skye was recognised as the best pub for the north of Scotland, whilst The Noble on Bothwell Street was named as the number one pub in the south of the country.
The Noble opened in the city centre near Glasgow Central station in February 2025 from the team behind Glasgow hospitality group The Superlative Collection who operate Glaschu, Maison by Glaschu, Gōst, The Duke’s Umbrella, The Clubhouse and Blue Dog.
The 100-cover venue sits somewhere between a classic Glasgow pub and a cocktail bar, open 9am until late with a food menu designed by chef John Molloy. Their speciality martini list includes: hot honey martini; passionfruit martini; and tomato martini, which are made using Rotovap infusions. The bar has Cruzcampo, Moretti, Guinness and Neck Oil on tap, as well as non-alcoholic options from Heineken 0% and local brewery, Jump Ship. The whisky list includes over 30 single malts, blends and bourbons.
The menus at The Noble are heavily inspired by British pub classics, with local Scottish produce at their core. Other main menu favourites include: ‘The Glasgow Pie’ - a chicken tikka masala filled flaky roti pie, served with a side of basmati rice, and a first of its kind honouring one of the city’s favourite dishes; Mothers Pride Chip Butty; and The Best Bacon Roll in Scotland.
