The Islay Inn is a traditional Scottish bar and bistro at 1256 Argyle Street in Glasgow. It combines a busy local pub atmosphere with a substantial freshly prepared food menu, making it as suitable for lunch or dinner as it is for a dram and live music.
Scottish ingredients and pub classics shape the main selection. Cullen skink, haggis with neeps and tatties, battered haddock and a steak and red wine pie sit alongside burgers, salmon, duck and changing seasonal dishes, creating a menu with both familiar comfort and wider choice.
Weekend brunch begins with the generous Finnieston Fry, bringing together sausage, bacon, black pudding, haggis, tattie scone, egg and the usual breakfast accompaniments. A vegetarian breakfast, eggs on toast, pancakes and breakfast rolls offer lighter or meat free alternatives.
The bar’s wide range of malt whisky and Scottish beer is a natural companion to the food, with cocktails available for something different. Regular live music and Sunday roasts give the week its own rhythm, while the relaxed service and long opening hours support everything from a quick bite to an evening with friends.
