Just down the road from the flat and they make lovely food. For breakfast, I particularly recommend their Eggs Royale (smoked salmon Eggs Benedict). Delicious.

Downstairs on Mondays from 8:30pm there is Gerry Lyon's famous open mic night. You get to hear some really great performers for free! Upstairs there's a very popular bar with an indie feel, near the city centre. Easiest way to get there is either the train from Partick to Charing cross (one stop, £1.90 return), or a private taxi (about £6) 0044 141 557 1110.

WEST Brewery
15 Binnie PlReally good beers in here, good food too.
You really feel like you're going back in time in The Laurieston. It's a really good pub that pours a really good pint, and you're in the friendly company of some older Glaswegians, which adds to the charm. Just get the underground from Kelvinhall to Bridge Street.

Really nice place if you want to briefly escape Glasgow. The scenery around it is great. Off the top of my head you can get the number 8 bus to Balfron to get there.
