Rab Ha's

Charming boutique hotel in Glasgow’s Merchant City

Rab Ha’s Hotel manages to blend the rustic charms of a country inn with all the comforts of a buzzy city centre escape. Based in the stylish Merchant City area, it is a classic Glasgow drinking and dining spot much-loved by locals.

This family-owned hotel, bar and restaurant was lovingly refurbished in 2017 but still retains its timeless atmosphere. Inside you will find plenty of characterful touches, from an open fireplace to stripped stone walls to wood panelling.
Rab Ha’s is named after a legendary 19th century Glasgow character who was known for his love of good food. Nowadays, the restaurant’s hearty fare would most likely put a big smile on his face.
