Went here for food due to the location. Was sitting next to the window, the windowsill could do with a good clean. Nicely decorated, decent menu, prices average for the area. Food was hot and nicely presented. Tasted ok.

Overview
Derby Lane is a New York and Hamptons-style restaurant and cocktail bar at 1156 Argyle Street in Finnieston. It opened in summer 2021. The kitchen runs all day: breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Signature dishes on the site and in early coverage include lobster rolls, eggs done many ways, flat iron steak and stacked burgers. There is also a cocktail list and non-alcoholic drinks. Glasgow Live covered a later refurbishment that added more seating and a New York cocktail-lounge feel upstairs, plus Bar Brooklyn downstairs. Bar Brooklyn is a 1970s New York-inspired sports speakeasy with big screens for live sport and a menu of burgers, chicken strips and steak frites. Owner Camilla Bjørnstad has said Derby Lane is known for creative cocktails and all-day dining, and that Bar Brooklyn is aimed at a more laid-back, sports-led crowd. Early DesignMyNight and Glasgow Live pieces highlighted Instagram-friendly décor (wisteria, neon, pink and gold) and an eco-minded cocktail list using local spirits. Some reviewers say the room can feel tight on space.
Reviews
This is a gorgeous spot for brunch in a brilliant location. The interior decor is really stunning, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Their menu is extensive with lots of choice, I really recommend both their standard breakfast and their veggie breakfast. The presentation is lovely - they adorn the meals with edible flowers, it's very a Instagrammable place!
Read on Google MapsMy bestie and I went for a girlie afternoon tea and just loved it. From the gorgeous decor, good music, mood lighting, very extremely tasty food (I’m hard to please) and quick and delicious cocktails, I can’t wait to go back. The service was brilliant, so welcoming and fun and super attentive. Abbie and Camilla were our lovely servers, they were fabulous. It would be brilliant for a birthday, pre or post bridal lunch or a girls night. That being said there were loads of people in for brunch, lunch and dinner and I will be coming back to try the menu! Highly recommend to everyone.
Read on Google MapsLovely place. Was in to use an itison voucher. Food was really nice had a steak sandwich and fish & chips. Cocktails were good and service was great
Read on Google MapsA really lovely place for breakfast. Great ambience and superb food. The attached photo is the potato rosti with bacon. A little expensive, but totally worth it. The only let down was the coffee, which was like weak tea.
