Top meal in Glasgow

Sooo happy we made it here. Tried the Spicy Margarita and one of the local beers. Antojitos pop up was top notch! Still dreaming of the banana blossom tacos. 10/10 would eat them every day if i could. Also enjoyed the empanadas, jackfruit tacos, and chilaquiles. Would recommend!

Good pub grub

Cosy wee pub with a few outdoor benches. They have an all vegan Mexican menu which is well priced and hits the spot with a pint of beer.

Mex

"The 78 has been a longstanding favorite, and I was disappointed when they ceased serving food. However, their introduction of a vegan Mexican pop-up from the capital has been a delightful surprise. With larger portions compared to Edinburgh and exceptional quality, it's a culinary treat worth savoring."

Vegan pub

Got some nice vegan craft beers and some smashed potatoes from the Mexican pop up kitchen which made an excellent bar snack to share. Nice vibe and staff

It took me a while to realise this was the pub in Glasgow I’d visited 10 years ago. I have a nice memory of this place.

Old fashioned Sunday club @bar78

A nice and chilled place and the staff were really helpful. I got a Sunday roast and haggis fritters, and they both were so good. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed 😋 🌱💚

Visit for good while you still can!

Update: pop up for Dec 2023 was great! Hope they do more!

Will stop serving food at the end of March 2023. Good selection of drinks. Had some very undercooked cauliflower wings. The cream of tomato soup was very spicy which it hadn't pre-warned anywhere! Mac and cheese and tofu burger were good.

This pub doesn’t offer food anymore , so there’s really nothing vegan about it.

Well, they could offer vegan food 😅!

Pros: Broad selection of drinks

Cons: No vegan food

While I agree it's disappointing they don't do food anymore, if they only serve vegan alcohols (which is absolutely not a given in regular pubs), then it makes sense to call it a vegan establishment.

Good comfort food

The menu isn’t that special whatsoever, but it does offer a range of what I would call comfort food. Or pub food. The taste was good, and you get a decent amount of food for the price. But that’s about it. It’s not great, it alright.

The food was delivered fast and our host was nice. If you want comfort food: I’d recommend going to The 78.

Pros: Food was serviced fast, Comfort food

Great atmosphere and vegan food

We loved the food we got from here, good selection from the menu and daily specials as well. We got a few things to share and it was all super tasty, the seitan burger was my fav! To top of all off we had some amazing smores cake, which left us feeling pretty burst but it was tasty so hey ho 😅 would love to come back and try some more stuff from the menu.

Pros: All vegan options , Weekly specials , Friendly staff

Cons: Freezing cold inside , Food pretty pricey

Awesome vegan scran

Atmosphere was really chilled in here. Staff super friendly as well. Maybe a bit on the expensive side but its worth it (most of it).
We had padron peppers and mac bites for sides. Cheeseburger (incredible) and mac and cheese with garlic bread for mains. Disappointed with the portion of the mac and cheese tho! Felt like i could eat 2x the amount provided and for almost £12 wouldve expected more. We also got 2x smores cake slices which were great.

Pros: Good varied options, Delicious , Sound staff

Cons: Expensive, Portion size seems varied for mains

Great place

We went here for lunch on our Glasgow trip and enjoyed it a lot. We came with 4 adults and a toddler and everyone was happy with their meals. Staff were super friendly, the food was yum too!
I was also told the choice of drinks is brilliant (I don't drink so I can't be the judge of that)

Pros: All vegan, Lots of options , Child friendly

Don't bother with the tacos...

This place used to packed at weekends but was really quiet today...perhaps people aren't impressed with expensive dishes with not much food? I ordered the 'tacos with champignons'...was expecting something hot and flavoursome but got 3 cold, stale tacos filled mostly with iceberg lettuce and onion, with a few button mushrooms and a squirt of ranch dressing. Not good for £13 - left hungry! Maybe some items are better (based on other reviews) but this really shouldn't be on the menu - very disappointing.

Pros: Vegan venue, Staff were nice

Cons: Poor quality food, Expensive, Small portions (on some items)

😋 yummy

I had a seitan burger 🍔which was so yummy. I tried my boyfriends Mac and cheese and loved it too - some Thai curry flavour there maybe?
Loaded fries were the best, I loved the smoked tofu bits. Also olives were yummy and they have a nice selection of drinks!

very little food for the money

the olives were so salty we couldnt eat them. We ordered a mixed plater and that also had the olives on it. Would really help to have that pointed out when ordering! The portions were miniscule and not filling at all. A splodge of humous and a couple of pices of bread and a lettuce leaves isnt a platter. This place must have chnaged hands as this is not the great food and service I am used at this bar. Such a shame Glasgows vegan restaurants are turning into such rip off joints. I used to love and swera by this place!

Pros: its vegan , dogs allowed

Cons: small menu, big prices, poor quality

Típic vegà britànic amb toc original

A la carta es poden trobar els clàssics plats vegans britànics com hamburgueses, hummus, sopa o els clàssics 'cauliflower wings' (disponibles a tots els restaurants de la mateixa cadena com l'Stereo, també a Glasgow, o l'Harmonium, a Edinburgh), així com propostes una mica diferents com ara gnocchi, mandonguilles, cors de carxofa o xurros! El local és ampli i té aires de taverna. Pot ser difícil mantenir una conversa entre la música bastant alta i la gentada. El menjar està prou bo.

Pros: Espaiós , Servei ràpid , Entre clàssic i original

Cons: Local molt sorollós

A Must Visit!

Wow! Food was delicious and very reasonable. We had 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 house spirits with a mixer and a pint. It only cost us £44.60! Staff were lovely and it has a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
