Whiskies, beers, a few party drinks and a healthy dose of Rock'n'Roll is The Dam vibe. Unfussy and inspired by too many late nights in too many dive bars around the world, we're a bit rough round the edges. If you're after full-on flavour bombs and you don't mind the lights being too low for Instagramming the life out of everything, then you should feel right at home.
Standing magnificently next to Saint Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art is Glasgow's own cathedral. Patron Saint of Glasgow, St Mungo has his tomb in the lower church of the cathedral. The original reconstructed cathedral dates back to the 13th century period. Merchant Square is a sheltered courtyard offering a selection of pubs and restaurants.

Stayed here for 2 nights in December and everything was absolutely spot on. I booked through a third party website as I got the genius discount so worked out as less that £35 a night. Stayed here on my own, room had a double bed, shower, bath, decent TV, kettle, iron and hair dryer. Everything you need. You will not find a better budget hotel than this. Located right in the centre of Merchant City everything is minutes away including bars, restaurants and shops.

Before I start it is important to know how sad it makes me writing this. I have loved this place for years and have so many good memories of coming here. If I am honest I probably should have written this review three visits ago but I kept going back hoping it was just a blip and would get better but sadly that wasn't the case.
In summary, having a wide range of food unavailable and then getting orders wrong after a wait of nearly an hour. Serving what was clearly a beef burger but claiming it was a lamb burger, it didn't help that it was completely cremated. A sad looking salad with

We found this place on Yelp once the need for a feed took us after drinking copious amounts of "St. Mungos". I felt more heavenly with every drop!
It doesn't look like anything special when you get there and the restaurant is part of the Brunswick Hotel. Fairly long and narrow restaurant with a bar facing the entrance where you can sit and enjoy a drink if not hungry. Not that I'm a great judge but would guess that the regulars would be of the hip variety mixed in with the hotel guests and then ....erm us.
We had no booking and it was around 10pm when we arrived and

Why have I not reviewed Brutti Ma Buoni yet?!
In the heart of Glasgow's Merchant City is this spectacular little gem - more locally just referred to as 'The Brunswick'. Catering to a young, stylish, professional crowd (yes, I'm claiming myself to be both young and stylish - stop laughing!), this is a place not to miss.
It's the bar/cafe part of the Brunswick Hotel - but don't be put off by this, it's not your typical hotel bar. This is the kinda bar I'd go to every night if I was on holiday, so made all the better that it's just round the corner from

This BMB is the bar/cafe part of the Brunswick Hotel.
And. Is. Awesome.
I'm in here most weeks - the music's not so loud that it's obtrusive (this week it's been a bit of Justin Timberlake). It caters mainly to the young (and youngish) professionals, and is just a great, relaxing place to unwind and chill out.
The staff are really friendly and certainly know their stuff. This week we asked what gins they had - and were treated to the barman running off a list of about a dozen different types, without even a glance at the bottles behind him!
At least I know which gin I&apos

Had some lovely tapas here just last week with Glasgow CM Briony and some other pretty awesome review writing folk! I love the quirky decor in this bar and couldn't believe it was technically a hotel bar (mainly because hotel bars tend to be pretty dire). Not so this one!
Great tapas (I recommend the chorizo, and the paella if it's on special). Calamari was good too. We just had soft drinks I think, but the cocktails and drinks here look extensive and interesting. If I come back to Glasgow soon, I'd like to sample one, two, three...

Brutti Ma Buoni is just far too cool. - The kind of gem you'd discover on a laid back European city break, only to fall head over heels and find yourself wishing it was your very own local at home. And so, with its stylised arty interior, the impressively huge bar which adorns an entire wall and the kind of service that'll leave you wishing the waiter was your pal, you're plunged into the ultra cool tapas cavern that is Brutti Ma Buoni. You will kick yourself for not finding it sooner and you will leave with a Brutti-induced holiday glow.
For the five of us we opted for ten tapas

We visited here on a bit of a whim for some dinner as it was the only place in the area that I was confident would still be doing food at 8pm on a Tuesday night in Merchant City. Thankfully I was right, and we headed up to the mezzanine to take a seat as the rest of the bar was pretty full.
You really do feel like you've been transported to Europe when you take in your surroundings - super cool decor, a great vibe and interesting selection of food. It's really well done and made me feel like I'd been on a mini holiday.
We ordered a selection of dishes to share: peaceful prawns

Weird that I have never reviewed this place before. During the summer I love coming here for a pint and sitting outside and watching the world go by. It's got a really cool atmosphere and with a good crowd of people drinking anything from champagne to a nice cold pint.
On the food front I would describe it more as bar food than restaurant quality and I would suggest sticking to some of the smaller dishes rather than going for a full meal. You can't go wrong with the deep fried Brie and a side of olives, but really you will be good with any of the small plates they have on offer.

I met up with a group of friends for a catchup over lunch on Sunday at Brutti ma Buoni in the Merchant City part of the Brunswick Hotel. I must admit my friends were a bit perplexed when I mentioned this as a venue and arrived thinking we were lunching at one of the city's big hotels but Brutti ma Buoni is in fact a stand-alone restaurant/ bar adjoining the hotel.
I'd phoned to pre- book a table and noticed a money off voucher on the website which I mentioned when booking and was assured this would be no problem. Inside is quite small and the place was pretty busy so I was glad I had

Without a doubt this little place is my favourite in the whole of Glasgow. I have been a number of times for drinks and/or food. The place is joined onto the Brunswick hotel and has a great outdoor seating area for the summer. Inside is quite small and would usually book if I am going on a fri or sat night. Warning - if you sit upstairs remember it is above the kitchen so can get very warm!
I love sitting on at the bar when just having drinks - usually a bottle of cava as it is very well priced.
The staff are absolute gems - all are very chatty and are good to their regulars!

I was looking for a place off of George Square to grab a quiet bite because i had been eating Pub food and Curry for 5 days straight. I stumbled upon Brutti ma Buoni on a wide avenue. the waiter was very friendly, and gave a good recommendation on the Lamb Burger with mint and herbs. with a pint of beer and a side of chips, this was exactly what i needed.
As i found in most restaurants in Glasgow, and just about any pub, the service is slow by American standards. i personally don't mind if my food comes to me in 10 or 20 minutes, because i'm usually with someone or am enjoying the

Hadn't been in here for about a year until I went in over christmas. I have to say the atmosphere created by the staff is first class - even during the day there is a nice comfortable, warm and friendly feeling.
When you order a drink you get the feeling that a lot of care and attention has gone into making sure its perfect for you.
Great menu too at very reasonable prices - go and try it.
They do a mean bloody mary

I had a great lunch here on saturday with a very reasonable bill at the end.
i had spagetti with chorizo in a cabonara style sauce, it was delish, the chorizo was very good quality. My friend had one of the pizza things (not called pizza) which was really thin and tasty, one of the best pizzas that i have tried in a while. My other friend had a bean and veg stew which she said was good but the potatos were a wee bit too firm.
the only downside was the pan catalan, not enough tomatoyness and too hard.
