This sleek spot also offers a sharing Sunday Feast that's perfect for couples. This features tasty bites like barbecue beans, buttermilk fried chicken and pork belly bites, costing just £20 per person.

Omasake - Sake & Bites Pairing Experience

@ Sticks'n'Sushi Glasgow on Thursday 8th October 2026 and 2 other Thursdays

Renowned restaurant Sticks'n'Sushi host their monthly Omasake - Sake & Bites Pairing Experience, for experimental foodies who want something more than a regular dining experience. 

Put your trust in the hands of chefs and sake sommeliers as they curate a six-course tasting session with sake pairings specially selected to bring out the flavours of each dish. With a £39.60 all-inclusive ticket and an interactive setting that's both contemporary and dramatic, this monthly event is a must-visit for those who value culinary creativity. 

Cubatas

Spend an evening with your sweetheart tucking into a Mediterranean spread of traditional and innovative tapas at Cubatas, the city's finest Spanish restaurant. Even better, most of their dishes come in at under a tenner - great if you're on a budget. To drink? A selection of wines, beers, cocktails and sangria, of course.

Mowgli Glasgow

For couples looking for somewhere that feels easy but still considered, Mowgli Glasgow offers a comfortable setting for an evening out. The lighting is soft enough to feel intimate, while the layout still has a gentle buzz around it.

Sharing dishes makes it naturally suited to two people. You can split a few smaller plates like yoghurt chat bombs and bhel puri, alongside something more filling like a monkey wrap.

Whether you're on a date or just looking for a laugh as a twosome, Sounds Familiar is no ordinary night out. It's the only music quiz to have sold out Camden's Roundhouse, supported the beloved boy band 5ive and played Glastonbury more times than David Bowie.
