Restaurant et bar à cocktails à glasgow

Le "The Social" à Glasgow, en Écosse, est un restaurant animé et un bar à cocktails qui s'est établi comme un point de rencontre prisé au cœur de la ville. Situé sur la dynamique Royal Exchange Square, il est connu pour son atmosphère chic, alliant design moderne et élégance décontractée. L'établissement fait partie du groupe Buzzworks, une entreprise reconnue pour ses expériences gastronomiques de haute qualité en Écosse, et est devenu une institution depuis son ouverture, attirant à la fois les habitants et les touristes. Grâce à son emplacement central, c'est un endroit idéal pour un déjeuner entre amis, une soirée romantique ou une nuit festive avec de la musique live et des boissons créatives.

L'intérieur du "The Social" est lumineux et ouvert, avec un mobilier moderne qui crée une ambiance accueillante grâce à de grandes fenêtres et un éclairage soigné. Le bar, au centre, impressionne par une vaste sélection de cocktails, réputés pour leurs présentations originales. À noter particulièrement, la terrasse sur le toit, qui offre l'une des meilleures vues sur Glasgow – parfaite pour profiter de la ville en sirotant un verre. En été, la place devant le restaurant se transforme en une oasis méditerranéenne, où les clients peuvent s'asseoir à l'extérieur et profiter du soleil, tandis qu'en hiver, une guirlande de lumières crée une atmosphère magique. L'établissement est familial et dispose également de places pour des groupes plus importants, ce qui le rend polyvalent.

Le menu est conçu pour favoriser le partage, avec une sélection de plats allant des influences britanniques classiques aux saveurs internationales. La pizza BBQ Chicken est particulièrement populaire, avec sa sauce fumée et son poulet juteux qui ravissent de nombreux convives et se prête parfaitement au partage. Les brochettes de poulet satay rencontrent également un grand succès – des brochettes tendres servies avec une sauce aux cacahuètes crémeuse qui apportent une touche d'exotisme à la table. Pour une option légère, la soupe du jour est un choix apprécié, souvent accompagnée de pain frais d'une boulangerie locale réputée pour sa qualité. En dessert, le brownie au chocolat, un dessert chaud et chocolaté, offre une douceur intense et une texture fondante qui en font la conclusion parfaite. La carte des cocktails est un autre point fort, avec des créations comme le Solero, qui rappelle un cocktail estival par sa légèreté fruitée, ou le Rubber Duck, qui se distingue par sa présentation ludique.

Cocktails créatifs et menu

Le service au "The Social" est souvent décrit comme amical et attentif, avec une équipe soucieuse d'offrir aux clients une expérience agréable. Les barmans se démarquent particulièrement, rendant les heures de cocktails inoubliables grâce à leur compétence et leur créativité. Cependant, lors des jours chargés – notamment le week-end ou pendant les mois d'été – le lieu peut être plein, et certains clients signalent un niveau sonore élevé ou des temps d'attente occasionnels. La possibilité de commander via une application est utilisée par beaucoup et assure un flux efficace, tandis que la musique live régulière d'artistes locaux dynamise l'atmosphère et complète l'expérience.

Les retours des visiteurs sont globalement positifs, avec des éloges fréquents sur la qualité des plats, les cocktails uniques et la vue fantastique depuis la terrasse. Cependant, quelques critiques émergent : certains trouvent que les plats ne sont pas toujours servis à la même température, par exemple lorsqu'ils sont tièdes, et d'autres trouvent le niveau sonore dérangeant lorsque le lieu est complet. Néanmoins, l'impression générale est que "The Social" est un endroit apprécié pour sa polyvalence et son charme. Il s'est établi comme l'une des meilleures adresses pour prendre un verre ou partager un repas à Glasgow et a été maintes fois récompensé pour sa contribution à la scène locale.

Un aspect particulier du restaurant est son lien avec la ville et sa culture. La collaboration avec des fournisseurs locaux, comme la boulangerie primée Company Bakery d'Édimbourg, souligne son engagement envers la qualité et la durabilité. Sa situation sur la Royal Exchange Square en fait un point de départ parfait pour une journée à Glasgow, que ce soit pour faire du shopping ou explorer des sites touristiques comme la Gallery of Modern Art. Pour les familles, il offre un environnement détendu, tandis que les événements réguliers – allant du brunch avec DJs live aux spécialités de cocktails – séduisent également un public plus jeune.

We came here for a birthday meal and drinks. We were approached by waitress 3 times within about 10 mins to see if we were ready to order. (Did feel rushed considering it was empty) we'd picked the toasted sandwich this was tasteless, we'd ordered side portion of chips and onion rings. The onion rings were like a deep fried ball, certainly was not the shape of a onion ring. They were dripping with oil. We also waited a while for the food to come out. It was certainly not value for money.

A Go-to-Place became a major Disappointment yesterday. Although I was there with my husband, I felt unsafe in the vicinity. Socials authorities say-“Socials operate- a policy where any patrons entering the venue in the evening must be accompanied by someone. This is in the interest of safety.” The security/bouncers were extremely rude and used swear words with us, misunderstanding our Anger with our intoxication. When we reported the incident of mistreatment (I was inappropriately touched) by a man inside Socials, their way of handling the situation was appalling. The security/bouncers should be able to differentiate whether a person is drunk or angry. The security guards’ behavior is unacceptable; I felt we were the victims of racism.

Hidden gem of Glasgow! We had decided to try this place when over for a weekend break and we were pleasantly surprised! We knew this place was classed as a 'cocktail bar' on Google but did not realise that the food would be as amazing as it was! We loved the food here and it came out in a timely manner, just our sides were forgotten but corrected. Our food order was varied including a pasta and burger dishes and both were amazing with loads of flavour and great portions. Our desserts were also a surprise as it was a twist on the traditional banoffee pie and it was incredible. We got ourselves cocktails also and they lived up to the hype, especially the solero! Will definitely be back! :)

Sandwich was lovely hubby had fish n chips however batter was burnt I feel they batch cook then reheat reason batter was burnt/ overcooked and hubby not one to complain. You buy drink and food which is included in the service - how3ver they added on 10% service charge! Why? As service is included in the price you already paid for re meals n drinks. I asked for it to be removed which they did. For that reason I will not return

This restaurant is just a barbecue bar, and it is not expensive, this is a personal discrimination and racial discrimination!! The waiter told me that I was alone so I was not allowed in, but there was a woman sitting at the door who came alone. I asked why she could come alone, and the waiter told me that I was not allowed to come alone after six o 'clock. When I asked where the rules came from, he started rolling his eyes at me and then ignored me. It's ridiculous!Shame on you!The management must be mean people to make these unreasonable rules, many people complained this rule and the dress code rules, you just a cheap restaurant, I have been many fantastic luxury restaurant, never have seen such a ridiculous rule. Please stop emphasizing your absurd and rude rules to guests. These rules are completely unfounded. Have you seen how many negative reviews you've received because of them? It's ridiculous. Your security says that no one is allowed to dine alone after six o'clock. This rule clearly restricts personal freedom and is a violation of rights. If every restaurant had such an unintelligent rule, claiming it's unsafe for someone to dine alone, does that mean people dining alone have no right to eat in restaurants or walk the streets at night? I am not here to drink alcohol. I am a working adult. Even if I were to go to a bar alone in the early morning hours, I would not be refused service. What gives you the right to refuse me? You are a bunch of discriminatory people who do not consider human rights. I've seen many complaints about your rules in the reviews. Why are you so harsh? If you truly cared about your customers, you would consider their feelings and why they might be hungry. I am very curious about the basis for your rules. I asked your security guard, but he couldn't give me an answer and instead rolled his eyes at me. I have never encountered such a stupid rule. This is not only about the rule itself but also about the attitude of your security staff. I simply wanted to know why others can dine alone inside, but I cannot. I strongly suspect racial discrimination, as your security not only refused me entry but also ignored me, rolled his eyes, and impatiently told me to leave.

Came in last night for a few drinks for Christmas night out . The male toilet seemed to be the place to get drugs !! Two guys in there the whole time night obviously dealing . Numerous bouncers told of this . Nothing happened at all . Will never be back . Sad reflection on Glasgow .
