Rioja is a Spanish restaurant and late night bar at 115 Hope Street in central Glasgow. Reopened after a two year hiatus, its new three floor format combines an upstairs dining room, a ground floor bar and a basement space for private gatherings.

The restaurant serves market fresh tapas and bold Iberian plates inspired by the energy of Madrid. Classic tortilla and padrón peppers sit alongside playful modern dishes, allowing diners to mix familiar Spanish flavours with more contemporary combinations.

Lunch and pre theatre menus provide a concise selection of tapas, while the à la carte menu gives a table more freedom to share. A paella experience pairs a chicken and chorizo pan for two with sangria, turning the meal into an especially social format.

Spanish wines, cocktails and live DJs give the bars their own identity after the dining room settles into the evening. The basement can host private events, so Rioja works for a quick city lunch, a full dinner or a celebration that continues later into the night.

Address: 115 Hope Street, Glasgow G2 6LL, Scotland
