A major spring campaign has been launched to attract visitors to Glasgow’s hospitality venues.

More than 40 of the city’s leading pubs, restaurants, cafes and venues are taking part.

In the West End, establishments that are part of the drive include: Zique’s on Hyndland Street; The Gannet in Finnieston; The Hidden Lane Brewery, Finnieston; and Clydeside Distillery, Stobcross Road.

The campaign has been kickstarted with a new food and drink trail that celebrates the best of the city.

Venues include Julie Lin’s Gaga, the recently awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand Celentano’s, the Ubiquitous Chip and modern Scottish pub The Gate.
