I live there so I’ll give you an in-depth rundown.

Andiamo - expensive Italian restaurant with bar area. 3/10 don’t bother.

JawBrew - microbrewery & teeny pub with teeny beer garden right in train station car park. Chill, nice staff and good gin. 7/10

Garvie & Co - a bit grannyish. Lots of old ladies go there during the day for tea and scones. Not much different at night really tbh, but they’re on the Prosecco. 6/10 but only because they let in dogs. Quite expensive. Fancy whiskey bar with piano upstairs that never seems to be staffed. Wasted potential.

Fullbacks (formerly F Pizza) - think Paesano but with a snooker table. 8/10 sports bar

Charlie’s Loft - bar/nightclub/event space frequented (if their Instagram is anything to go by) exclusively by beautiful 21 year olds, but in reality, quite a mix of ages depending on the event. 6/10 only because I can’t remember much from the times I’ve been apart from loads of coke being done in the toilets.

Finsbay - I love Finsbay tbh. The decor is fab - very 60s vibe and the cocktails are really good. Also quite expensive tbh. 8/10

Talbot - I worked there when I was a student 20 years ago and the clientele hasn’t really changed. The most traditional pub of them all. Regulars and west highland way walkers. 9/10 just because loads of Milngavie snobs don’t like it. Loses a point because you might get stuck beside a crazy whose been barred from everywhere else.

Burnbrae & West Highland Gate are technically in Bearsden but right on the border. They are both alright, but not worth the walk.
