Glasgow Green is once again preparing to welcome thousands of concertgoers this weekend as TRNSMT festival returns to the city for the sixth time having first started back in 2017.
A number of huge acts are set to perform on the main stage over the three days as nineties icons Pulp return to Glasgow for the first time in over 20 years along with George Ezra, Sam Fender, Kasabian, The 1975 and Royal Blood amongst others.
Whether you are looking to get the party started early with a few drinks or get some food before heading down to TRNSMT, we have you covered with 20 of the best bars, cafes and restaurants near to Glasgow Green.
5. West on the Green
