Ashton Lane
A cobbled lane in the West End hung with string lights, home to bars, restaurants and an old independent cinema, with a lively nightlife.
Ashton Lane is beside the University of Glasgow, opposite Hillhead subway station. Its flagstones are strung with fairy lights, and the Ubiquitous Chip restaurant and the Grosvenor cinema are long-established favourites. During the day, combine a stroll here with the vintage shops and cafés of Byres Road in the West End. In the evening, come for a Scottish craft beer or a whisky. Weekend nights are crowded, and some bars carry out age checks.
