Porter & Rye is a steakhouse and restaurant at 1131 Argyle Street in Glasgow’s Finnieston neighbourhood. The room balances a special occasion feel with the energy of its busy west end location. Scottish provenance and careful butchery shape both the menu and the way the restaurant explains its food.
Beef is selected with long term butcher John Gilmour and dry aged in house to develop tenderness and flavour. Different cuts allow diners to choose according to texture, richness and appetite rather than treating steak as a single uniform dish. Traceable meat from sustainably managed farms supports that detailed approach.
Small plates bring hand dived scallops, bone marrow, wood pigeon, venison, vegetables and other seasonal ingredients into the same meal. A vegan dhal and dishes that can be adapted without gluten or dairy provide some alternatives, though guests with allergies should discuss the current menu before ordering. Sunday roasts and lunch service offer different ways to experience the kitchen.
Wine, cocktails, spirits, beer and alcohol free drinks are selected to complement the restaurant’s rich and seasonal cooking. Desserts provide a measured finish after steak or several small plates. Porter & Rye presents Scotland’s larder through confident sourcing, patient ageing and a polished but welcoming Finnieston dining room.

Cocktails
The Pink Fizzy One
A much longer-lasting (literally) take on the modern classic ‘Cosmopolitan’, bright citrus and sharp red fruit pulled into a super tall, sparkling serve. Ketel One Oranje, Yuzu Sake, Giffard Crème de Framboise, Cranberry Syrup, Acid, Force Carbonation. contains sulphites
P&R Freezer Martini
Crafted with locally sourced Scottish Navy Strength gin, our Freezer Martini packs serious punch while remaining remarkably clean in flavour due to quality ingredients, careful balance and side-car serve keeping it the perfect crisp temperature. Edinburgh Gin Cannonball Navy Strength, Dolin Dry, Perfect Dilution. contains sulphites
Iberico Margarita
We used the finest grade Iberico Salchichon and integrated it into our version of a spicy margarita. With some help from our friend Condiment Man and his bespoke hot sauces we’ve managed to create a Margarita that is tropical and spicy, sweet and savoury. Salchichon washed Casamigos Blanco, Lucky Kümmel, Tomato Agave, Scotch Bonnet, Condiment Man Tropical Hot Sauce, Citrus, Condiment Man Dill Pickle Salt Rim. contains pork
Wake Me Up Again
We have taken inspiration from the concept behind the famous ‘Espresso Martini’ but the similarities end there. We wanted the effect, not the taste so we’ve overwritten the coffee but kept the caffeine, opening up a world of flavour. Built to keep you in the moment, switched on, and having fun. No nodding off mid-conversation or even in your cereal because, well, it’s caffeinated. Bounty Coconut Rum Liqueur, Dolin Chambryzette, Giffard Crème de Cacao, Lucky Tonka, Pro Plus Syrup, Lucky Charms Milk. contains milk, sulphites and caffeine
Old Spice
Stoic, classic, spiced and warm, this drink is reminiscent of times past. This is our take on a classic ‘Godfather’ but elevated, of course. We use The Macallan 15 Double Cask as the base and combine it with our amaro blend to create a delightfully bitter foundation for a fruity finish. As the name would suggest, this drink will induce a heavy dose of nostalgia. The Macallan 15 Double Cask, P&R Amaro Blend, Amaretto, Lucky Peach, Speculoos Dark Chocolate Truffle. contains sulphites
Sean Batty
Tiki without the tacky. The perfect drink to enjoy Glasgow’s summer as forecasted by our very own national treasure, Sean Batty. Over Scotland, expect heavy showers and brief intervals of hope. Moving over to the West coast, expect delicious drinks and one minute of sunshine a day. Just because we don’t get tropical heat doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have tropical drinks. Bruichladdie Classic Laddie, FAIR Passionfruit, Giffard Banane du Bresil, Aperol, Oregat, Coconut Milk, Three Cents Fig Leaf Soda. contains almond and coconut
R&R
Rest & Relaxation or Rum & Rhubarb – why decide when you can have both? This fantastically tasty wee ‘Daiquiri’ style cocktail is a great way to check out of your day to day responsibilities and enjoy some hospitality. Sweet, tart and easy going. Brugal 1888, Crème de Rhubarb, Strawberry, Custard, Whites, Citrus. contains egg and dairy
Synergy
An umami-forward spin on a classic. This ‘Old Fashioned’ style cocktail pays homage to Synergy, the grill that gives our steaks their bold, smoky character, and the essence of Porter & Rye. Choose: Scottish, American or Japanese Whisky. Shio Koji, Demerara, The Japanese Bitters Umami, Orange Bitters, Charcoal Seasoned Cracker
