Byres Road is the heart and soul of Glasgow’s West End and is by far the most cosmopolitan and eclectic street the city has to offer, with a whole range of bars, restaurants and shops to suit all manner of tastes. Let’s take a walk up Byres Road......
If you start from the Dumbarton Road end of Byres Road in Partick you will be met with an avalanche of restaurants on either side of the busy thoroughfare. The range of food available is in such a short stretch of the street is impressive, from local contemporary Scottish through the Mediterranean and all the way to the Far East. Each establishment serves up fine food and wines, which if you have the time, all should be visited at least once.
The next section is a lot more property and hair oriented! For some unknown reason most of the street’s estate agents, mortgage lenders and barbers have set up shop here. It must be something to do with the close proximity to good food, some good bars and the ubiquitous coffee houses nearby. As you near where Highburgh Road and University Avenue meet halfway up Byres Road the estate agents thin out and clothing and footwear boutiques move in, again all offering a vast range of fashions and styles.
