Terrific food, atmosphere & staff. Lovely surroundings , good wine also. The soup and fish cake starters were great. I had the burger and my husband had fish, we were both full to the brim.
There is a formal restaurant upstairs, but we opted to go for a more relaxed gastropub experience in the bar this time. The bar area is in the basement of a traditional Glasgow tenement and the interior decor is a classic stripped stone and dark wood look, which gives it a really cosy Scottish feel.

I thought I had booked the fancier upstairs dining room for Saturday lunch but when we got there, there was no one to be found. Staff or customers! Which allowed us to stroll around the upstairs unhindered. Parts seem a bit in need of tlc others look excellent.
We eventually found our way downstairs to the bar/restaurant. Friendly and informal staff. We opted to do without starters and have main and dessert.
With the main course, it was simple, good quality, well cooked, pub grub. I had 6 OZ Steak Burger with a side of red cabbage coleslaw topped with Dunlop Cheddar and Ayrshire Bacon. Served in a Toasted Bun with Handcut Chips and House Relish. (£10.95)
For dessert I choose the Scottish Cheese selection, Dunlop Cheddar, Strathdon Blue and a Brie, with oatcakes, seasonal chutney apple & grapes, steady if not spectacular. (£6.95)
Great local pub, great selection of beers, good food, great service. Managed to watch the rugby he too … great atmosphere and nice wee sweet spot.
First time visiting. Walked past it when trying to find it. I am glad I double backed 🤪. Service could not fault, atmosphere not too busy just how I like it (even though owner might not 😂). Food was lovely. Only fault. More roasties less carrot and greens 😉
We are visiting Glasgow for the weekend and wanted a Sunday Roast, The Drake did not disappoint! We had a wonderful meal! Service was great!
More well known for its food and Sunday roast dinners it’s a slightly different style of bar. Very discreet and low key. If your looking for somewhere you can converse or catch your thoughts I would recommend. Barman very friendly and a homely vibe
We were a large group going for Sunday lunch (9 people and 1 dog), and the team at the Drake were so accommodating, we had a great time. The ambience and the service were great, and the food was also fantastic. You could tell the meat was high quality and was cooked perfectly. The cheeseboard was a highlight and it was great value for money. We agreed it was probably the best roast dinner we've had out at a pub/restaurant. Would highly recommend and thank you to the team at the Drake for such a good lunch!
