The 78

Hearty vegan stews, burgers and live jazz

Pub Food / Comfort Food / Live Music

The 78 is a true Glasgow institution and a cornerstone of the city's vegan scene. Located in the vibrant West End, it looks and feels exactly like a classic, slightly bohemian Scottish pub - complete with battered retro armchairs, a roaring coal fire, and an excellent selection of craft beers. The best part? Every single item on both the food and drinks menu is strictly 100% plant-based.

This is the ultimate comfort zone. The kitchen excels at hearty, unfussy food that hits the spot perfectly. Their legendary "78 Burger" and massive portions of loaded nachos are exactly what you want for a casual Friday night, while their soul-warming stews and curries are the ideal remedy for a chilly Scottish Sunday.

Beyond the food, the venue has a massive reputation for its atmosphere, regularly hosting fantastic live jazz sessions and DJ sets at the weekends. If you are looking for a cosy, dog-friendly spot to enjoy great beer, brilliant vegan comfort food, and local music, The 78 is an absolute must-visit.
