Brel Bar Restaurant, Glasgow

A Belgian bar with a restaurant at the back, the bustling Brel has a reputation for fine wines and cool vibes. They have Leffe and Hoegaarden on drought as well as beers which are easier to spill. The food is good and presented in a rustic style-popular dishes include mussels and chips-and there's a sheltered beer garden in summer to make the experience more continental if the weather permits. Live music and DJs most nights of the week with poetry readings on Sundays stretch the walls to their limit and the party usually spills out on to the cobbled Ashton Lane. Be careful where you put your pint though as the tables consist of battered sheets of metal which ladder tights and can wobble alarmingly when you set down a round.
