Honestly this place is Glasgow's hidden gem. From decor, to ambience, to staff friendliness and the tastiest cocktails! 10/10 and we will definitely return. Huge thank you to the two guys behind the bar on Sunday (07/09) who couldn't have been more helpful and helped celebrate my other half's birthday. Highly recommend!
