Conveniently situated in Queen Street adjacent to George Square the hub of city life, the gallery of Modern Art and the lively shopping precincts of Argyle Street and Buchanan Street, Strata provides something for everyone. Fabulous food, enticing wine-list, superlative cocktails and funky atmosphere are all part of its special blend. Stunning modern design in a listed building setting ensures that this award-winning bar and restaurant is a firm Glasgow favourite.

Those needing a morning boost who are attracted by its range of coffees, office managers holding informal business meetings and the leg weary shopper looking for lunch-time sustenance are all catered for during the day. And whether having an intimate or lively evening get-together or unwinding after a difficult working week Strata’s friendly, relaxed atmosphere is ideal. Weekend party animals are not forgotten as djs play Friday and Saturday evenings and the mixology skills of the staff put those Sex and the City cocktails to shame.

Strata is open from 10.30am until midnight Monday to Saturday and 11.30am until midnight Sundays. Food is served each day from 11.30am until 10pm with an extensive daytime menu available until 5pm when it is replaced by the (slightly) more formal evening menu. A particularly good value pre-theatre menu runs alongside the evening menu between 5pm and 7pm. Both a 2 course and a 3 course option are available. Sunday Brunch always revives after Saturday’s excesses and Strata’s pick-me-up choices are available between 11.30am and 5pm.

Drinkers are also well catered for. There is a good range of premium beers and spirits and the wine list has wines by the glass and by the bottle. It offers some intriguing choices both to drink on their own or to accompany the food and for sheer, over-the-top luxury look out for the Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne! Cocktail drinkers are provided for by a sophisticated menu of classic and contemporary cocktails, all hand crafted to please.

However none of this would matter if it wasn’t for the friendliness, attentiveness and professionalism of all the staff who truly make Strata the unique venue it is.

Strata - more than just a bar
