The Drum & Monkey Glasgow is a historic Nicholson’s pub at 91 St Vincent Street. Built in 1924 as a bank, the room retains a sense of grandeur that gives an ordinary city centre meal a distinctive backdrop. The atmosphere remains accessible and informal despite the scale of the architecture.
British pub classics anchor the food menu, with pies taking a particularly prominent place. Hearty main courses, smaller plates and familiar sides make the pub suitable for lunch, dinner or food shared with drinks. Vegetarian and vegan filters help diners locate suitable choices on the current menu.
Group menus can be tailored for corporate gatherings, family occasions, weddings and seasonal parties. The historical setting gives private events more character than a generic function room. Guests with allergies should use the current allergen information and speak with staff before ordering.
Cask conditioned ale, brewery fresh tank lager and a broad gin selection are central to the bar. Wine, spirits and alcohol free options provide further choice for a mixed table. The Drum & Monkey brings together traditional British food, carefully kept beer and the memorable proportions of a former Glasgow bank.
Address: 91 St Vincent Street, Glasgow G2 5TF, United Kingdom
