Pub · Glasgow
Nine handpumps and a single-malt collection that regulars describe as one of the finest they've seen — but this is also a proper traditional pub that feeds families well, with a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating. The steak pie is the thing to order (served without pastry, and better for it), and everything comes cooked to order and properly hot at reasonable prices. Big leather chairs and a cosy, unintimidating interior make it easy to settle in, and the staff are consistently warm and happy to talk you through the drinks list. Worth knowing: it gets genuinely busy — Friday nights see most tables reserved and people waiting — so book ahead if there's a few of you, and go earlier in the day if you want calm rather than bustle.
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 small, buzzy Glasgow bar with live bands, comedy and DJ nights — more a grown-up night out than a family daytime spot.
Authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum with high chairs, a kids' menu and sharing portions — cosy, quick to serve, and worth booking at weekends.
A hushed, wood-panelled Glasgow institution with famous scallops, warm service and a kids' menu — pricey, but a lovely occasion lunch.
