The monthly Glasgow round

Three proper visits.
One month.

We will personally try one place from each feature every month. Some will come from your nominations; others will be a completely unexpected wildcard.

01🍴

One scran stop

A café, takeaway, restaurant, bakery or hidden gem—visited anonymously and paid for normally.

02🍺

One pub visit

A fair look at price, welcome, atmosphere, music and the pint—not just a snap judgement.

03🎸

One gig or show

A personally attended Glasgow performance chosen for interest, atmosphere and affordable tickets—not simply the biggest name.
