Restaurant Glasgow

Vodka Wodka bar is a tiny little bar on the popular Ashton Lane in the West End. The bar is very popular with students and on the Thursday night I visited it was packed to the rafters with everyone out enjoying the last remnants of the warm and sunny day. The bar and outside seating area was buzzing with chatter set to the typical background music of RnB, cheese and pop, however there is no dance floor nor any seating areas.

The bar stocks a range of Polish, Russian and Scandinavian spirits alongside a comprehensive list of drinks and a sizeable cocktail menu. My Long Cosmopolitan was enjoyable, and given the busyness of the bar I was appreciative that it was served in a tall glass rather than the normal Martini; chances are if it had came in a Martini glass I would have either spilt it over the person standing next to me or whilst trying to negotiate the stairs up to the outdoor seating area!

The outdoor seating area was basic, just a series of walls with a few outdoor heaters but it served its purpose or allowing us to sit down outside. The outside area, given the nice weather, was as equally busy as the inside bar sharing its same lively atmosphere, and given that the bar doesn’t serve food it was not cluttered up with tables allowing for more room.

Vodka Wodka is perfect for a pre nightclub drink; and as the name would suggest it is high on vodka and low on children which in my mind makes for a brilliant bar.
