Urban Bar and Brasserie

The sun is becoming less of a stranger; the nights are getting lighter and the trees are coming into bud.

There are all sorts of reasons for loving spring; not least of which is all the fresh new ingredients that chefs have to work with.

Treat yourself to a taste of the season with today’s Big Deal from Urban Bar and Brasserie.

If you would like to enjoy a fine meal for two in one of Glasgow’s more sophisticated restaurants then set a course for Urban Bar and Brasserie on St Vincent Place in the city centre.

City centre elegance

Once home to the Bank of England’s Scottish HQ, Urban Bar and Brasserie has retained its dashing good looks.

Decked out with wood panels, stunning flower displays and ornate cornicing, it is rather an elegant city centre spot.
