Old fashioned Sunday club @bar78 - Edit
A nice and chilled place and the staff were really helpful. I got a Sunday roast and haggis fritters, and they both were so good. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed 😋 🌱💚

Visit for good while you still can! - Edit
Update: pop up for Dec 2023 was great! Hope they do more!
Read moreWill stop serving food at the end of March 2023. Good selection of drinks. Had some very undercooked cauliflower wings. The cream of tomato soup was very spicy which it hadn't pre-warned anywhere! Mac and cheese and tofu burger were good.

This pub doesn’t offer food anymore , so there’s really nothing vegan about it. - Edit
Well, they could offer vegan food 😅!
Read morePros: Broad selection of drinks
Cons: No vegan food

While I agree it's disappointing they don't do food anymore, if they only serve vegan alcohols (which is absolutely not a given in regular pubs), then it makes sense to call it a vegan establishment.

Good comfort food - Edit
The menu isn’t that special whatsoever, but it does offer a range of what I would call comfort food. Or pub food. The taste was good, and you get a decent amount of food for the price. But that’s about it. It’s not great, it alright.
Read moreThe food was delivered fast and our host was nice. If you want comfort food: I’d recommend going to The 78.
Pros: Food was serviced fast, Comfort food

Great atmosphere and vegan food - Edit
We loved the food we got from here, good selection from the menu and daily specials as well. We got a few things to share and it was all super tasty, the seitan burger was my fav! To top of all off we had some amazing smores cake, which left us feeling pretty burst but it was tasty so hey ho 😅 would love to come back and try some more stuff from the menu.

Awesome vegan scran - Edit
Atmosphere was really chilled in here. Staff super friendly as well. Maybe a bit on the expensive side but its worth it (most of it).
Read moreWe had padron peppers and mac bites for sides. Cheeseburger (incredible) and mac and cheese with garlic bread for mains. Disappointed with the portion of the mac and cheese tho! Felt like i could eat 2x the amount provided and for almost £12 wouldve expected more. We also got 2x smores cake slices which were great.
Pros: Good varied options, Delicious , Sound staff
Cons: Expensive, Portion size seems varied for mains

Don't bother with the tacos... - Edit
This place used to packed at weekends but was really quiet today...perhaps people aren't impressed with expensive dishes with not much food? I ordered the 'tacos with champignons'...was expecting something hot and flavoursome but got 3 cold, stale tacos filled mostly with iceberg lettuce and onion, with a few button mushrooms and a squirt of ranch dressing. Not good for £13 - left hungry! Maybe some items are better (based on other reviews) but this really shouldn't be on the menu - very disappointing.
Read morePros: Vegan venue, Staff were nice
Cons: Poor quality food, Expensive, Small portions (on some items)

😋 yummy - Edit
I had a seitan burger 🍔which was so yummy. I tried my boyfriends Mac and cheese and loved it too - some Thai curry flavour there maybe?
Read moreLoaded fries were the best, I loved the smoked tofu bits. Also olives were yummy and they have a nice selection of drinks!

Cozy - Edit
Another one of Glasgow's top vegan places.
Read moreI've been a good few times to the 78 and have always enjoyed it. It has a nice relaxed atmosphere and you'll enjoy that while you're there. They also have a bar and some comfy seats with a fire. They have live music on occasions.
Relatively good prices and good portion sizes along with that. Varied menu with plenty to choose from and usually have specials also. Good place for those looking for dinner near the West End.

very little food for the money - Edit
the olives were so salty we couldnt eat them. We ordered a mixed plater and that also had the olives on it. Would really help to have that pointed out when ordering! The portions were miniscule and not filling at all. A splodge of humous and a couple of pices of bread and a lettuce leaves isnt a platter. This place must have chnaged hands as this is not the great food and service I am used at this bar. Such a shame Glasgows vegan restaurants are turning into such rip off joints. I used to love and swera by this place!
Read morePros: its vegan , dogs allowed

Típic vegà britànic amb toc original - Edit
A la carta es poden trobar els clàssics plats vegans britànics com hamburgueses, hummus, sopa o els clàssics 'cauliflower wings' (disponibles a tots els restaurants de la mateixa cadena com l'Stereo, també a Glasgow, o l'Harmonium, a Edinburgh), així com propostes una mica diferents com ara gnocchi, mandonguilles, cors de carxofa o xurros! El local és ampli i té aires de taverna. Pot ser difícil mantenir una conversa entre la música bastant alta i la gentada. El menjar està prou bo.
Read morePros: Espaiós , Servei ràpid , Entre clàssic i original
Cons: Local molt sorollós

A Must Visit! - Edit
Wow! Food was delicious and very reasonable. We had 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 house spirits with a mixer and a pint. It only cost us £44.60! Staff were lovely and it has a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A very nice Friday night out - Edit
Dropped in unannounced and the young guy was apologetic giving us the news that it may be 20mins until a table was free. We were fine to sit at the bar so not a problem. Food ( I had a chickless burger - delicious ) was great and so was selection of beers ( alcohol and non-alcohol). 2 courses for 2 folk - 7 drinks and a coffee ... £67. Chuck in a Hollywood A-lister 2 seats away from us and it was a fine evening in a cool and friendly place. We'll be back but possibly better to book next time x
