Irish pub · Glasgow
Handy if you're meeting family off a train — it's a few minutes from Central Station with parking nearby, and there's a kids' menu and high chairs if you're bringing little ones along. Be realistic about what it is, though: a proper Irish bar with live singers at weekends on both floors, football on plenty of screens, and a crowd that gets genuinely packed on match days. Afternoons are the calmer window — families have settled in on a Saturday and stayed till six with the music going. The Guinness is well poured and the drinks list is broad. Two honest snags: the layout is a warren with poor signage for toilets and closed-off areas, and seating goes fast, so ring ahead or arrive early if you want a table. Regulars call the door and bar staff "top lads" — friendly and quick to help.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
A laid-back Glasgow café with outdoor seating and vegan options, easygoing for a family coffee and a bite.
A busy, welcoming spot a minute from Central Station — hot food, big portions, unlimited roast trimmings, and pram space if you book ahead.
A well-loved Glasgow coffee shop rated 4.8, with vegan options and a relaxed feel that suits families.
