The Citizen

Steeped in Glasgow’s history, The Citizen pays homage to its namesake, the Evening Citizen, a daily newspaper that served the city for over a century. The building’s former offices and print rooms have been transformed into a unique venue that captures the spirit of Glasgow. Even a trip to the restrooms is a journey through history, with vintage headlines adorning the walls.

Our menu is a celebration of Scottish ingredients, showcasing local favorites with a modern twist. From our renowned steak pie and signature sausage rolls to a perfectly cooked piece of Atlantic hake, every dish is crafted with pride. Pair your meal with the freshest pint of Tennent’s Lager in Glasgow, served straight from the tank — the only bar outside the brewery offering non-pasteurized Tennent’s.

For whisky enthusiasts, The Macallan Editor’s Suite is a treasure trove, featuring rare and exclusive whiskies, including the coveted Macallan M.
