Babbity Bowster is a nice place for a quiet drink and a bite to eat (simple and traditional Scottish dishes served in the bar area downstairs), tucked in a side street between High Street and the Merchant City. There are frequently musicians in attendance, playing traditional Scottish music. A few months ago I ate in the upstairs restaurant, which was... More

The food selection is basic too and if you just want a coffee thats fine but don't expect a cake or biscuit. I went... More

The rooms are basic and a good price for Glasgow. The staff were friendly and helpful, but be warned, some North Americans experience problems with their credit cards so have cash handy to pay. The location is excellent, as long as you don't mind being above a bar at night. The food was good and we loved Fraser (the guy... More
