Restaurant Glasgow

Opening Times:

12pm till late.

Located in the prestigious Princes Square I visited November with high expectations of understated glamour and style. However, I was left somewhat disappointed; I cannot put my finger on what exactly I did not enjoy about the bar but I think that it was the inability to mix the bar and nightclub elements together successfully. I know that this is an entirely personal opinion, and that November is a very popular haunt, but with it being 10-11pm mid week and the bar in full ‘nightclub’ mode with lights turned down low and dance beats turned on high, with no one dancing and the bar itself being half empty, I felt it was trying a little bit too hard.

Looking for a place where we could talk my friends and I chose to sit on the ‘outside’ balcony overlooking the shopping centre, the downfall of this being the doors were kept shut by the bouncers and we were left without out any music at all which I found rather unsociable.

Although I was less than impressed with the bar interior and atmosphere I was delighted with the drinks list which was weighed down with choice, cocktails prices ranging from £3 – 6; the Apple Martini was incredibly moreish, and I was mesmerised by the black Ink Martinis I saw a group of girls tucking into.

I can tell that November works much better as a nightclub, and I am making a note to revisit it during the normal nightclubbing hours to get a full perspective, but it lacked the warmth, bustle, and atmosphere I enjoy in a bar which really let it down, its only saving grace was its selection of cheap yummy cocktails.
