Ben Nevis bar in Finnieston on a Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday from 9pm-midnight for some of the best live folk music you’ll get in the city. Also amazing whiskey bar.

Food I’d recommend Rogano which is one of the cities oldest restaurants, amazing high quality food, comfort, service and clientele without a ridiculous price tag and the seafood and oysters are Glasgow’s best IMO. It’s in the city centre in a little corridor between royal exchange square and Buchanan street.

A must visit for you both is Ashton lane in the west end (if you take the subway to hillhead then it’s at your immediate left as you walk out the station. All great bars, great food and great atmosphere all the time. Would highly recommend Ubiquitous Chip for food, it’s so relaxing in there.

There’s an Italian restaurant in the city centre called Sarti’s and its on the corner just before Wagamamas and honestly I love the place. There coffee is ridiculously strong and amazing tasting. Their muscles are incredibly tasty and large. Very small restaurant though. The staff are lovely.

Go to kelvingrove park for a walk.

Go for a walk through park circus (at the top of kelvingrove park) if you want to see where the money is, nice cars and houses up there.

The 78 in finnieston has nice cocktails and live jazz on a Sunday I believe.

The Ivy is pretty lush if you want something fancy for drinks and food. Where the footballer dine.

Use the subway because it’s cheap and it’s just a circle so it couldn’t be any easier to use.

Go to the barras at the weekend in the east end next to Glasgow green if you want to experience authentic Glasgow market history although definitely keep your wits about you and don’t be surprised if you use a toilet and there’s some lads in the toilet shooting up heroin and being really loud and over friendly. They’re usually harmless and will welcome you to Glasgow but they’ll cross boundaries and seem intimidating.
