The Drake, West End

We’re not sure if we specifically remember her singing it, but we’re sure one of Julie Andrews’ favourite things in The Sound of Music was a pub meal.

After all, what is better than tucking into delicious hearty food served in cosy surroundings with a chilled drink by your side and a dog at your feet?

This is why we are so pleased to have a Big Deal today for a meal for two from one of our favourite pubs in Glasgow – The Drake.

West End pub

Tucked into the corner of a beautiful townhouse street in the West End of Glasgow, The Drake is a traditional pub with class.

With a roaring fire, fantastic beer garden, exposed brick walls and dog friendly policy, it is the bar you wish was your local.

Its food is just as cultivated as its surroundings, with the highest quality ingredients used to create the hearty dishes.

5pm Favourite

The Drake is a huge favourite with 5pm Dining customers. It has an average rating of 4 stars out of 5 from 130 reviews.

Some of the most recent reviews say:

‘Had a really nice meal here prior to going to the Kings Theatre for a show. My partner had the soup – Roast Tomato and Chilli and the Louisiana Chicken burger and said both were totally delicious. I had the smoked salmon and the lentil tabbouleh with halloumi cheese as an extra which was also really nice and I was pleased to see some really decent choices for me as someone who doesn’t eat any meat. Nice ambiance… Service was quick and cheery.’

‘We will definitely return. Friendly service, cosy atmosphere, full of character and really tasty food, great portions and a great price. Recommended!’

Catch up

As this Big Deal is available until the end of July it would make an ideal summer meal out.

With delicious food in cosy but sophisticated surroundings, The Drake the perfect meeting spot for a catch up with friends.
