The Iron Duke is a stylish pub and restaurant at 6 Royal Exchange Square in central Glasgow. Named in honour of the Duke of Wellington, it pairs its prominent city setting with a contemporary interior of exposed brick, metal and wood softened by warm lighting and comfortable seating.
Scottish provenance shapes the kitchen’s approach, with prime Scottish beef and fresh seafood supporting a menu of pub favourites and modern regional dishes. The selection is broad enough for a relaxed lunch, a complete evening meal or a few plates shared over drinks.
Careful sourcing gives familiar food a stronger sense of place, particularly where beef, fish and other Scottish ingredients take centre stage. The restaurant setting and full table service also make the venue suitable for diners who want more than the quick pace of a conventional city bar.
A handpicked wine list, local beers and cocktails complete the offer, including signature drinks inspired by the Wellington theme. Its combination of food, atmosphere and central location works equally well for an informal meeting, dinner before an event or a longer evening in Royal Exchange Square.
Address: 6 Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow G1 3AB, Scotland
