The Record Factory Menu

The Record Factory is a bar, music venue and food destination at 17 Byres Road in Glasgow’s West End. Inspired by underground New York dive bars, it combines a laid-back interior with several bookable areas and a large beer garden. The venue moves naturally from casual daytime visits into dancing and late-night entertainment.

Food is designed for the setting, favouring burgers, fried chicken styles, wings and substantial sides that work with drinks. The current kitchen offering also includes plant based choices, allowing mixed groups to order within the same informal format. Service continues into the evening on most days.

Music is central to the experience. DJs play every weekend, and the venue operates as a club as well as a bar, so the atmosphere becomes more energetic later in the night. Tables and larger areas can be reserved, making it useful for birthdays, gatherings and events where food is part of a longer evening.

Beer, cocktails and other bar drinks are available, with the garden offering a separate space for daytime and early evening visits. The balance of food, music and social space is more casual than a conventional restaurant. Guests with allergies or specific dietary needs should confirm the current menu and preparation with the venue.
