Taking its name from a Scottish word that means "to roam or wander about without a specific…read moredestination" Stravaigin serves a unique menu of globally inspired food and Scottish classics, including what many consider to be Glasgow's best haggis. Michelin recommended but neither starred nor bib gourmand, over twenty years of experience informing a Cafe, Bar and Cellar where locals gather amidst heavily wooded décor, lunch on Monday offers quiet respite from the streets with light music overhead. Friendly but fairly aloof in terms of service, the young waitress spending much of this slow service flirting with a bartender, Stravaigin's menu offers a good bit of customization whether one opts to partake a just a Burger, in courses or using small-plates as a sort of Tapas. Not neglecting Whisky across a Cocktail list, Elevenses a smoky Citrus masterpiece, the "wee" portion of Haggis is perfect for one with four-bites of liberally spiced Offal alongside equal size quenelles of Potatoes and Rutabaga. Spanning south for fried Bitterballen, straight out of Germany with smoked Ham, Fish Fritters get a bit muddled by the aggressive heat and creamy dressing while Carrots are unevenly cooked but pleasant in a mix of Nuts, Beets and unnecessary Tofu. Uncertain why any menu would offer both Flan and Creme Caramel for Dessert, though locals seem to prefer Cheese regardless, an Italian riff in the former was small and smooth but frankly unmemorable in either a negative or positive way.

Coincidentally, I had just a few weeks earlier walked past the church (?) and thought that it's pretty cool that you can wander down a side alley and find a pretty lovely square. That's Glasgow for you though I suppose. Our first moment included us waiting at the door to be seated - mind you, the sign specifically says you should go the bar to be seated. Duh, blonde moment. It makes total sense though, the bar staff don't have a view of the door because of the big round pillar in the way. We had a good laugh about it though. Word to the wise though - sitting anywhere close to the door can get rather drafty. Especially when it's cold outside. The place was really busy with a rather eclectic mixture of people - older men, business people and later on some youths who were pretty drunk and relatively inappropriately dressed. Anyways, on to the food. My friend went for the pork and black pudding burger with the fried egg. Be advised that there is chopped bacon in the pork mince and so don't worry about the pink spots. It comes with a side salad and some fries. I myself wen't for the veggie haggis burger (I don't know why) but I do not regret my choice (salad and fries as sides). It was very, very tasty, crumbly and extremely large. The cheese was melty and wonderful but I wish there had been a little sauce of some kind and maybe a little more spice in the burger itself. The fries were on the dull side, bland and semi old and cold. We also shared some onion rings which were pretty tasty. The batter was crisp and not dripping in oil, but it could have done with a stronger flavour I think. We drank some house red, which was mediocre but helped, and at the end, although extremely full, we had some peppermint tea to forego the dessert. The tea comes with some pretty amazing little sweet treat and so dessert was definitely not needed. It's definitely a hidden little gem in Glasgow!

With Jack Johnson purring from the stereo, moody lighting, cocktails and black and white films on…read moreTV, this bar should be pretty much everything I don't look for in a watering hole. However, situated on the edge of the city's east end, it's hard not to be encapsualted by Cafe Source. Formed in the basement of the truly sumptuous St Andrews in the Square, the cafe/bar is tastefully decorated and is virtually a cocoon in one of the least appealling areas of the city. While football fans could be battering lumps out of each other little more than five minutes away, more sophisticated locals and those in the know are likely to be supping a mojito, enjoying authentic and delicious(although not cheap) Scottish grub and watching a Laurel and Hardy film in here. Were this pub situated in the West End it would probably be unbearable, but so inconspicuous is its location that it maintains an extremely laidback and friendly vibe. The staff, in particular, are excellent. Visitors would be well advised to order a taxi from here if they're leaving late at night, but that shouldn't put them off coming in the first place. This is a lovely venue with some of the best local food on the go. Oh, and if you combine it with a gig in the upstairs venue, you're talking about one of the best word of mouth nights out in the city.

At the bottom there IS actually a working fire that is on every cold day I've been there. The bar has three levels with comfortable seating all over. There are high tables with comfortable stools as well. The bar has a good selection, only missing are the variety of shots that you get in other bars. No aftershock or Jaffa Cake vodka. Don't ask for any fancy cocktails, this isn't that kind of pub. The bar food is good, made by the same chefs that cover the Beefeater menu through in the restaurant part. Everything from Lasagne to paprika chicken salads, just not tuna. The best bit about the place, though, is the service. The staff are well trained and very attentive. They help you with you orders and even beyond the bar. They are very good interacting with children too. The management seem to be very hands-on. All the staff seem to be happy to serve you.

When I was in hospital, my mum and dad said they'd take me out for dinner once I recovered, and…read morehere was the place my hmm wanted to go. The crooked lum is named after the giant wonky chimney in the middle of the bar area. It's a Beefeater, so isn't awfully unlike Wetherspoons, but a bit classier looking. The restaurant area is huge, and wasn't close to full, so I was surprised when we were told we'd have a 20 minute wait as the kitchen were running behind. That should've been the first sign of a bad experience. Once we were actually seated, it took just over an hour to get our food. I ordered the T-bone steak, my mum ordered a sirloin and my dad the mixed grill; a rump steak, gammon steak, lamb chop and chicken breast packed onto a plate. When the food actually arrived, I cut into my steak only to find a thoroughly cooked through steak, when I'd asked for medium rare. I sent it back and waited 20 minutes on another one, which is unacceptable because medium rare cooking does not take anywhere near that long. They did take money off the bill for all the drama, and the only reason they're not getting one star is because we actually had a really good waitress, and she cant be faulted for the issues that were going on in the kitchen. I probably won't be back here though.
