Over 60 of the best gins around paired with fresh ethically-sourced Scottish seafood. On the bustling stretch of Glasgow’s Argyle Street sits a diminutive blue building, dwarfed by lofty tenements. From humble beginnings as a Drovers’ Tavern c.1800, (and said to have been frequented by Rob Roy Macgregor!) a cabinet maker, a hotelier and even a dairy farmer have called the brick walls home. Today, the building is home to The Finnieston Bar & Restaurant, serving up the very best in Scottish seafood and award winning cocktails, champagnes and beers. We pride ourselves on our commitment to serving only the very best of seasonal and sustainable Scottish seafood.
Casual restaurant and cocktail bar specialising in locally-sourced seafood and bespoke beers.

Reviews
The wait staff came over and answered questions about the food.
I had the cray fish Mac n cheese as well as the gnocchi. Both were amazing!
I also had some olives and some clams.
I left The Finnieston with an overly full stomach and great photos.
The building itself was amazing, I wanted to get a photo of the fireplace in the dining room, but felt I would be disturbing the guests.
All in all, 5/5 experience!
From our first visit to the Oyster Bar as a potential reception venue we knew from speaking with Zoe that this is where we wanted to host our wedding. We were also offered the option to hire their outdoor courtyard for our meal which we knew would work perfectly for our vision.
Zoe was so professional, warm and friendly throughout the entire process. She was super communicative on email and would keep us updated with any suggestions from her team as to what they could with for us. Nothing was ever too much and she was so flexible between menu choices, drinks lists, venue decor and set up.
On the day itself, the team were incredible and we all felt to well looked after. Despite the unpredictable weather (storm Amy!), Zoe and her team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and the venue was set up exactly how we had envisioned.
The food was absolutely delicious, from bar snacks on arrival to dinner and our evening buffet, we couldn’t be more grateful to the chefs and kitchen team for the food they delivered on the day. Everyone was raving about it.
A special thank you also goes to the bar tenders working in the Oyster Bar who were nothing but charming and professional throughout the entire evening.
Thank you a million times over to Zoe and everyone else at The Finnieston. We had the BEST time and will hold a special place for this restaurant for years to come. See you again for our first anniversary?!
We originally wanted to order oysters and ox tongue, but unfortunately neither was available. Instead, we ordered the grilled octopus, scallops, seafood croquette, and Brussels sprouts — and every single dish was amazingly delicious. Each item was full of flavor and cooked perfectly.
The portions were tapas-sized, so we tried various dishes. Even without our first choices, the food exceeded expectations and made for a memorable stop in Glasgow.
But we loved our dinner on the Thursday night so much we came back on the Friday lunch when we came through Glasgow on our way on holiday. Both outstanding. Plenty of gluten free options – and one big one worth a mention is the gluten free battered squid – not sure what they make that batter with but it was delicious with a really nice dip.
Oysters = amazing – actually had one of the best oysters of my life on the Thursday night. My friend said the same.
Seabass ceviche = delicious.
Oh the fired mackerel was sooooooo good. I want a fan of the peach thing with it but that’s just me, my hubby loved it. I loved the fennel (I think it was)
Mussels both times = banging
This place also does the most beautiful New Zealand sauvignon blanc.
My hubby and pal LOVED the mac and cheese with brown shrimp in it and a seafood crust. I had a cheeky taste and it was good (I’m gluten intolerant not coeliac).
But the good news for coeliac’s is that they have a GF frier!
The only thing these guys could do to excel more and we are being really fussy here, would be:
GF DF Mac and cheese on the menu – I think it would be popular
GF fish supper / fish fingers – opening the option up to a wider audience
Oh and my hubby said he would like more of the seafood crust on the Mac and cheese – like a layered vibe. He just really liked the crust.
I realise we are being very demanding now – can’t wait to see you next time
