The Corinthian Club

You step into what feels like a Roman temple crossed with a Victorian gentleman's club, complete with soaring Corinthian columns and an ornate domed ceiling that makes you crane your neck. This former bank building on Ingram Street has been transformed into one of the Merchant City's most theatrical dining spaces, where the architecture does half the work before you've even glanced at the menu. The kitchen serves up modern Scottish fare that's ambitious enough to match the surroundings, while the cocktail programme runs until the early hours at weekends. It's the sort of place that works equally well for a proper dinner out or late-night drinks when you want to feel a bit fancy. The weekend opening hours until 3am make it a rare beast in Glasgow's dining scene.
