Max’s Bar & Cantina is a late night Glasgow bar and food venue at 73 Queen Street. Established in 2009, it sits within a long standing city centre hospitality address and remains closely tied to live music and DJ culture. The relaxed room works for a daytime bite, after work drinks or an evening that continues well beyond the kitchen hours.
Food is now provided through Sub126, a collaboration launched at Max’s in 2025. Its Italian American subs are assembled on bread baked daily, with fillings such as chicken parmesan, buffalo chicken, Philly cheesesteak, Italian cold cuts and aubergine parmesan. Loaded fries, wings, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and salads complete a focused but substantial bar menu.
Vegetarian sub and loaded fry choices give meat free diners clear alternatives, while sides make it easy to share food around the table. The kitchen emphasises made to order sandwiches, house sauces and seasonal produce rather than an overly broad restaurant list. Guests with allergies should discuss current ingredients and shared preparation with staff before ordering.
The drinks selection is central to the experience, spanning numerous draught beers, bottled drinks, wine, prosecco and a large spirits range. Margaritas sit alongside classic and original cocktails, with soft drinks, alcohol free options, tea and coffee also available. Max’s Bar & Cantina combines freshly made casual food with the busy, music driven character of a Glasgow late bar.
