The East End of Glasgow offers a mix of traditional Glasgow with cool neighbourhoods, great food and a sense of community. We look at neighbourhoods near the city centre - Dennistoun and the Barras - as well as the historic and festive Glasgow Green and a good reason to go a bit further east - alpacas! Lots to explore in the East End!

There is also a great selection restaurants to suit all tastes, Van Winkle BBQ grill, located at 267 Gallowgate, offers Kentucky inspired BBQ food with a great selection of drinks to help you relax and unwind. There is also St Lukes and The Winged Ox, located at 17 Bain Street inside a Grad B listed converted church to give it a unique atmosphere. They serve a selection of Scottish soul food, such as burgers, fish & chips, and much more.

In the Dennistoun area, there is Mesa, located on 567 Duke Street who offer a selection of Breakfast, lunch and brunch options that are suitable for all tastes, including vegetarian and vegans.

There is also La Bodega, a Venezuelan family owned coffee shop located on 98 Bellgrove Street. They serve a selection of speciality coffees, teas and cold drinks as well as freshly prepared Venezuelan dishes.

And a wee bonus YouTube video for Outlander or Tennents fans, you can see Sam Heughan in the second video below as Hugh Tennent, as an example of Tennents’ sense of humour.

After you've watched the videos, go to the East End question in your planning form to note what you would like to see.
