Ubiquitous Chip, Hillhead, Glasgow

Very good description of this Glasgow dining and drinking icon from Peter below. We were primarily here to dine in the Brasserie restaurant but had a pre-dinner drink in the upstairs ‘Big Bar’. Wasn’t too crowded when we arrived for our Friday evening slot but all three bar areas were fairly jumping with what looked a fairly young crowd when we left. The Big bar focusses on wines and cocktails (for the target audience I guess) but a couple of draft options were available in the shape of Deuchars IPA and a red bitter from Fyne Ales in Argyll called Chip 71 which I guess is brewed for the establishment. This was quite nice and I had a second one with my Haggis neeps ‘n’ tatties starter.
