If you’re in the city centre of Glasgow and looking
for a great place to stop in for a quick drink, or
somewhere to settle in for the whole evening,
head to The Piper Whisky Bar. Each week sees
a varied programme of entertainment and plenty
of opportunity to get up dancing if you’re in the
mood for some moves. On Fridays and Saturdays
you’ll find live bands and DJs, while through the
week you can enjoy some more mellow folk and
blues music or take part in a quiz. Those who
arrive hungry are well catered for too, with a large
menu of hearty pub grub including burgers, pasta,
pies, fish and chips and traditional local fare.
Children can select from their own menu and if
the adults fancy something a little bit different, a
Scottish tapas selection is available. With a wide
drinks selection and plenty of special offers too,
The Piper Whisky Bar is a great venue to enjoy a
dram or three.

THE PIPER WHISKY BAR
SCRAN
594 Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 3BS
07712 473601
Scran is located up on Alexandra Parade and pulls
in punters from nearby businesses and the high
school. It treads a nice line between cafés of old
and the Instagrammable new school – rolls and
sausage sit happily alongside artful plates of eggs
Benedict, with nicely chunky Ayrshire bacon and
the requisite rush of runny yolk as you get stuck in.
Sandwiches are big, bread is soft, and ingredients
are vibrant and classily matched. For talking points,
the brioche French toast (with Nutella mascarpone)
is the decadent choice, while chips with either
halloumi and hot sauce, or with smashed burger
patty, are becoming cult favourites (apparently
some patrons even ask for both, for the ultimate
filthy joyride). It’s a ‘sit-in and eat’ vibe, though
a roaring trade in takeaway coffees continues
throughout the day. Neighbourhood daytime dining
is enjoying a moment right now in this town, and in
Dennistoun this is a great choice.
