    The White Cart is a restaurant first and a pub second. What I mean by that is this is a very food-centric establishment and every area inside and out is full of people eating rather than just having a beer and a chat. Not that that's a problem, as the food is pretty good, definitely above average for pub fayre. The best feature for me is that they serve Real Ale (craft beer) on tap for around £3.20 a pint, although with a CAMRA card you get 10% off that. The beers are well kept and usually from more interesting microbreweries than your standard pub in the sticks. Ample parking and very close proximity to busby station (and the number 6 bus goes right past it) means there's no excuse not to pay a visit.

    This is one in the chain of Chef & Brewer pubs, which apparently are littered across the south of England but have only just made their way to Scotland with this establishment and one in Dundee. The look is right: cozy and warm and comfortably nestled in the semi-rural background. It's right across the street from the Busby train station and its pedigree--a restaurant has been in that setting since the mid 1800s--means it has an authentic feel despite being part of a chain. But...it's not amazing. There is another establishment nearby in Newton Mearns that is just simply much nicer despite being similar in size, atmosphere, menu and pricing. The food at the The White Cart is quite bland. I am happy to have a sunday roast or fish and chips every night of the week, but do them properly. There is a lot of competition out there; don't serve me fish with soggy batter or vegetables that have no seasoning. The chain ethos is also observable in the service. You can sense some corporate mandates that are probably constantly changing and at cross purposes, which leave the staff either apathetic or nervously bungling. So, it was OK. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I ended up here again (and hey, they do have three courses for £10 on weeknights). But there are several local establishments nearby offering the same or better in terms of food, service and atmosphere.

    My friend invited me to come for burgers with her here after with a pretty amazing 5pm deal for it…read more Honestly, I didn't know it even existed. 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.
