What is it?
A laid-back vegan bar and restaurant serving hearty plant-based comfort food with a side of live music and local vibes.
Where is it?
Nestled on Kelvinhaugh Street, just off the Finnieston Strip in Glasgow’s vibrant West End.
What you’ll find
Set inside a converted stable, The 78 Bar is a cosy, candlelit hangout with exposed brick, comfy booths and a playlist that always hits the right note. It’s been a long-time favourite for Glasgow’s plant-based diners and for good reason.
The all-vegan menu leans into global flavours, from stacked seitan burgers and warming stews to jackfruit shawarma and their signature BBQ cauliflower wings (a must-try). Dishes are designed to satisfy, whether you’re vegan, veggie or just in the mood for something different.
Behind the bar, you’ll find a great lineup of craft beers, natural wines and classic cocktails with plenty of low- and no-alcohol options too. And when the sun goes down, The 78 keeps things buzzing with live music, DJ sets and a packed calendar of community events.
Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, drinks or a dance, The 78 offers the kind of chilled-out, welcoming atmosphere that’s hard to leave.
One-liner
A Finnieston favourite for vegan comfort food, good drinks and even better vibes.
Native’s tip
Don’t skip the cauliflower wings, they’re legendary. Stay for the music if you catch a DJ night.
