Bilberry Cocktail Bar

The Bilberry Cocktail Bar is found within the Lorne Hotel on the west end of Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow (a hop, skip and jump from the Butchershop Steakhouse).
We went there for post-​dinner drinks for my friend’s birthday and had a nice evening. The bar has huge glass windows so you can sit in the cosmopolitan bar and enjoy a look out into the street. Inside is very well decorated and trendy. I liked it the minute I walked in.
My only grip was the price of drinks — I felt it was pretty steep in comparison to others in Glasgow. I ended up only having two drinks out of sheer tight fistedness! I grudged the cost, truth be told.
The staff were lovely and friendly and bar service was quick? I would recommend it, but I wouldn’t necessarily rush back.

The Bilberry Cocktail Bar, which is on the ground floor of the Lorne Hotel on Sauchiehall Street, is a wonderfully luxurious place to get a drink or two. It’s decked out in gorgeous floral wallpaper and delightfully comfortable armchairs. It also boasts barmen dressed immaculately in dark suits (which, incidentally, provides a nice bit of eye candy for us ladies…)
Although slightly painfully expensive (cocktails start from around £7) you will occasionally find a couple of special deals. If you have a look round the bar you’ll usually find some special menus which have a couple of slightly cheaper cocktails on (think £4 or £5).
Despite the price, the cocktails here are to die for. You just have to make them last for quite a while…
