Gael & Grain is a Scottish pub and kitchen at 23 Sandyford Place in Glasgow’s West End. Relaunched in 2025 after a substantial refurbishment, it combines a cosy restaurant, private dining space, dog friendly beer garden and regular live entertainment.
The menu celebrates Scottish comfort food with a creative twist and makes use of locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Haggis bon bons and Cullen skink provide recognisable starters, while fish and chips, venison sausages and the signature haggis tikka masala move into hearty main dishes.
Brunch and lunch are served alongside the main menu, and Sunday brings a traditional roast. Irn Bru cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding keep the dessert selection rooted in familiar flavours, giving diners a satisfying finish after the savoury Scottish dishes.
Scottish whiskies, craft beers and cocktails support the food, while A’ Chuilidh provides a private room for dinners and informal gatherings. Buffet sharers, tasting events and tailored group menus make the venue suitable for relaxed meals, celebrations and evenings that combine dining with comedy or other entertainment.
Address: 23 Sandyford Place, Glasgow G3 7NG, Scotland
