The Butterfly and the Pig is a restaurant and bar at 153 Bath Street in central Glasgow. Set within a restored Georgian townhouse, the venue brings together several individually styled spaces while keeping a deliberately mismatched, vintage character. The basement restaurant and adjoining public bar make it possible to settle in for a meal or begin with a drink.
Traditional Scottish recipes and local ingredients provide the foundation of the food. The cooking is presented in a contemporary way without losing the generous, comforting quality associated with a gastropub meal. A varied menu allows the restaurant to serve relaxed lunches, evening dining and occasions where several courses feel appropriate.
Cosy private dining rooms can host celebrations and other events away from the main restaurant. The distinctive surroundings give these meals more personality than a neutral function room, while the restaurant remains useful for ordinary visits as well. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should speak with the team about the current menu before ordering.
The bar hosts entertainment on most nights, ranging from quizzes to jazz sessions, and the venue also stages dining events. Drinks and music give later visits a livelier mood, while the restaurant retains its own food led identity. The Butterfly and the Pig brings Scottish cooking, characterful rooms and a broad social programme together under one Bath Street roof.
