Stereo hides from view, close to several busy city centre streets. A stones throw from Central Station, locals in the know love to keep this buzzing little place a secret...;-)
Huge windows let the light flood into Stereo. There are leaflets and information everywhere, promoting their energetic programme of live music. This is one of Stereo's little secrets - there's a cosy little stage in the basement, making room for excellent gigs.
The other ace secret is the quality of the food Stereo serves up. Much better than ordinary 'pub grub', Stereo's food is fantastic - and vegan! When it tastes this good, you'll forget about ever feeling the need for some meat...;-)
Add to this a bar overflowing with just about every drink known to man, and we have a recipe for success.
Near the beaten track but a true local secret, have a fun time visiting Stereo.
lively dining nearby stereo...
If you're getting excited about your visit to Stereo, or if you're out on the town with a bunch of friends, maybe some dining nearby Stereo with some energy sounds right.
Light and airy, with decor of pale wood, blues and lots of shining windows, Mussel Inn /Browse/Restaurant/Mussel_Inn(reveal best table deals?) has been catching fans in its (lobster) pots for quite a while now. Juicy moules in steaming pots arrive with your choice of mouth watering sauce. As to plump and tempting scallops. Thankfully, enough crusty bread to soak up all those heavenly sauces turns up too... sigh...;-)
Sitting pretty at the top of designer heaven in Princes Square, Barca /Browse/Restaurant/Barca_Tapas_and_Cava_Bar(reveal best table deals?) knows how to serve up amazing food. The Spanish got it right, when they came up with the idea of tapas dining. All those dishes. All those flavours. All that fun sharing. All that garlic...
Maybe you're visiting Stereo as part of a special celebration or anniversary. In this case, you'll need a restaurant to match your evening.
A short stroll away, one of Glasgow's culinary wonders awaits. Intimate pre theatre dining is assured at Rogano /Browse/Restaurant/Rogano(reveal best table deals?) . Glowing golden warm, and with decor containing original 1930's art deco wall mouldings from the building of the Queen Mary on the Clyde, this is a classic and classy restaurant. Quality service and meals are yours - along with time staring into your loved one's eyes... (sigh)
Just as charming, but Italian, the garlic-laden thrills served by Amarone /Browse/Restaurant/Amarone(reveal best table deals?) are well worth a visit. Hiding in a discreet basement spot, its easy to miss, although it sits just round the corner from bustling Buchanan Street. Warm and inviting, the authentic Italian cuisine served up in style here has locals in the know returning time and again.
Feeling excited about your date with Stereo? What you need is a drink or two with your friends, and have a blast in the city.
Brutti Ma Buoni (tel: +44 (0) 141 552 0001) in Brunswick Hotel offers the best drinks and food to the style-conscious crowds, most nights of the week. And the staff are some of the most friendly and laid back in the Merchant City. Add to this a pavement terrace, and we have a recipe for real success. Enjoy.
From Stereo, a short stroll over to Buchanan Street will take you to a secret lane - home to Bar Soba /Browse/Restaurant/Bar_Soba__Kitchen(reveal best table deals?) . Those in the know dart along this lane, in search of some of the best cocktails around. The music keeps toes tapping well into the night, too.
You may be in the mood for a quiet glass of something chilled and fizzing, either before or after the gig in Stereo. You'll feel very relaxed here...
Projecting the polished, mirrored charms of a Parisian cafe, circa 1930, Vroni's never ceases to put a relaxed smile on every visitor's face. Stocking more cases of fizzy fun than we can shake an empty champagne flute at, the relaxed vibe here, complete with spluttering candles and creaking wooden floor, are impossible to beat. Enjoy.
Blue Dog makes it a special purpose to stay open well into the night. Sophisticated drinks are mixed with live music most evenings. So your evening might round off with a touch of blues or soul... perfect...;-)
With luck you'll have some spare time during your visit to Stereo. Grab your camera and go exploring...
Standing proud in one of the most stunning buildings in the city, Gallery of Modern Art challenges and causes thought. Often home to visiting professional and amateur exhibits, you can never be certain what you'll see. Free to enter, you can't get a better deal, either. Enjoy...
