We all know Carrie Bradshaw's drink of choice (that would be a Cosmopolitan) and there's no doubt that the Sex and the City ladies have a lot to do with the surge in popularity that cocktail bars have had over the past decade or so. And while Glasgow may not be quite as glam as NYC, we're never in short supply of great Glasgow bars for cocktails. So where can you go in Glasgow for cocktails that would get the seal of approval from Carrie and co.? Here's our pick of cocktail bars in Glasgow that have a real New York vibe to them, and serve up a mean Cosmo.
Blythswood Square's cocktail menu isn't just an alcohol soaked piece of paper on a table, oh no; it's 40 pages long and describes the history of different types of cocktail. The mixologists at this Glasgow bar know their stuff. The hardest task will be picking a cocktail, but their cheery staff will be more than happy to help you on your way.
Much more than a restaurant, the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow's West End has an extensive list of cocktails on offer, made the skill of some of Glasgow's most talented mixologists. Enjoy a cocktail (or three!) in surroundings reminiscent of a cool Meat-Packing district eatery at this chilled Glasgow bar.
Blue Dog is one of Glasgow's dedicated cocktail bars, boasting an extensive menu of old favourites and slightly crazy-but-tasty concoctions. If you're not quite ready for the likes of the Super Zombie (basically, rum, rum, rum and more rum...yikes), you can enjoy classics such as margaritas and cosmos for just £5 each.
