The setting, a former fire station, is as stylish as the food.

Finnieston, Glasgow
Old world charm meets Glasgow style sophistication as two Glasgow culinary institutions merge.
1125 Argyle Street, G3 8ND
Taking its name from the hip and fashionable area in which it sits, The Finnieston Bar and Restaurant is a safe haven for seafood lovers. Cosy wooden booths, a few tiled walls, storm lamps, rigging and fishing photos all lend an appropriately nautical theme. An open fire keeps it all cosy. If the decor tips a wink to old sea dogs, the cooking – and the cocktail list – are distinctly more modern and urban. An outside seating area is popular when the weather is behaving.
