Speakeasy

You'll find yourself on John Street in the city centre, pushing through a door that doesn't immediately announce what's behind it—which is rather the point. Inside, it's all dark wood, low lighting, and the kind of intimate setup that makes you want to linger over a drink. The cocktails here are taken seriously; the bartenders actually know what they're doing, and they'll build something proper for you rather than just pouring spirits into sweet nonsense. It's the sort of place you'd bring someone you want to impress, or just yourself on a night when you can't be bothered with the usual chaos of Sauchiehall Street.
