Windows

You head up to Windows and suddenly the grey Glasgow skyline spreads out in front of you like someone's finally turned the lights on. It's the kind of vantage point that makes you remember why this city's got edges worth exploring—you're looking out over the merchant city rooftops, watching the light change across the Clyde. The bar itself does cocktails properly, none of that oversweetened nonsense; think classic serves and some creative riffs that actually work. It's the sort of place you take someone when you want the conversation to matter and the view to do some of the heavy lifting.
