It’s the latest addition to the food scene in the area and will focus on small plates, classic pub dishes, brunch and Sunday roast. The Torrisdale Tavern has space for 60 people and six large screens as well as a large projector to show all major sports.

Gavin Clark General Manager said “We are absolutely delighted to be bringing The Torrisdale Tavern to the Strathbungo area, serving up hearty food, tasty wine and a great selection of beer and cocktails.

Whether guests are in for a local homely meal, a catch up over a  wee drink or looking to try some of our unique beers, we will be everyone’s “second living room” with warm and friendly service and lots of character.
