The Collectors Hall

Whatever kind of event you're hosting, you can count on The Collectors Hall to do it in style. This stylish destination is found on George Street, flaunting heritage architecture and modern interior design across multiple floors.

There are multiple different private spaces available, and you can hire out the whole Hazel restaurant for up to 100 people, or 90 seated. The menu is pretty impressive too - think dry-aged sirloin steaks, kale pesto spaghetti, roasted cod fillet and so much more.

Mowgli Glasgow

This striking restaurant is sure to make an impression on your guests as soon as they walk in the door; with a huge tree as the focal point and an abundance of fairy lights lining the dining area, Mowgli sets out to stun before you've even seen the food menu. 

There are two private dining rooms, or you can book out the whole place if your party consists of more than 150 people. The sharing plate-style menu is perfect for big gatherings, made up of dishes from onion bhajis and Diwali cauliflower to gun powder chicken and lamb chops. The bartenders also know how to whip up a cocktail or two, from the house G&T to a chilli mango margarita.  

Hilton Glasgow

From birthdays to baby showers and graduations, these guys have got it all. They even serve a delicious afternoon tea menu, featuring the likes of roast chicken pesto choux buns, warm scones and seasonal desserts.

The Alchemist Glasgow

Looking for an impressive restaurant to suit every occasion. Then check out The Alchemist, a cool destination on George Square that's filled with sultry, dark decor, comfy booth seating and lots of stylish golden touches throughout.

You can hire out the entire venue for 66 people, or 210 standing, while the private speakeasy bar seats 35. Tuck into everything from coconut tofu curry to lobster mac 'n' cheese or tempura fish and chips, paired with some of the most unique cocktails around.
