Overview

The Butchershop Bar & Grill opened in April 2010 opposite Kelvingrove at 1055 Sauchiehall Street, the first restaurant from James and Louise Rusk (Rusk & Rusk). It is a Manhattan-style steakhouse and whiskey bar built around Scottish grass-fed beef, dry-aged and cut with their butchers, plus seafood and a serious cocktail, wine, and whisky list. OpenTable lists individual steaks roughly in the high twenties to low forties (rump about £28; sirloin and rib-eye about £39; fillet about £41), with sharing cuts such as Châteaubriand around £80. Expect a lively room of dark wood and leather rather than a quiet fine-dining hush. Book online or call 0141 339 2999. Hours are Sun–Thu midday–11pm and Fri–Sat midday–midnight; last reservations Tue–Sat 9:30pm and Sun–Mon 8:30pm. Sister venues under the same owners have included Hutchesons City Grill and The Spanish Butcher. Kelvinhall Subway is a short walk toward Kelvingrove Park.

Went the evening of Saturday, Oct 4th. It was our last night in Scotland and wanted to do something special. Everything from the drinks to the desserts were great. We both had the fillet with mashed potatoes, along with the green beans and cauliflower cheese. We also ordered the table bread which came with butter and olive oil. My friend ordered the gin bramble while I had the Sauvignon Blanc and also a glass of the Cabernet. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and the strawberry vanilla cheesecake. Max was our server and he was fantastic! Highly recommend if you are in the Glasgow area!

For me this has to be hands down the best steakhouse I have ever been to, I booked me and my partner a table on a Monday night for her birthday with a note on the booking letting them know it was her birthday. All staff in the restaurant were absolutely amazing and didn't make a big fuss for her birthday and wished her a happy birthday and even gave us a card which was a small gesture but absolutely appreciative. Our waiter for the night was Steven and I cannot put into words how amazing he was, he walked us through the menu, brought a board with all the cuts of steak and showed us how big they are, what cuts would be best for us etc etc, he was absolutely unreal throughout the night and kept checking up and had really good conversations with us through the night even though Steven let us know that they were short staffed. The food was absolutely sublime and beyond any steak we've ever had and the sides were no slouch either which we absolutely loved. Overall I cannot recommend the butchershop high enough. Thank you for making my partners birthday amazing and letting us take home our leftovers

January 3rd I recently had the pleasure of dining at Butchers Shop Bar and Grill, and what a fantastic experience it was! From the very start, enjoying a refreshing cocktail aperitif set the tone for a superb evening. The olives and patron peppers were deliciously salt-coated, offering the perfect start to our meal. For starters, I indulged in tiger prawns and loin, which were first-class. Although I personally wished there was more than one prawn, the taste was impeccable and left us excited for the main course. The rib-eye steak that followed was a true highlight—massive, perfectly cooked, and served with delightful sides of onion rings, mac and cheese, and triple-cooked chips. It was a feast that ensured no one left the table hungry. My wife had the fillet and our friends the chateaubriand all cooked as well ad my own Unable to find room for dessert, we opted instead for the exquisite Espresso Martini, which capped off the meal beautifully. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the restaurant staff went above and beyond to accommodate us at another table, allowing us to relish our time with good friends and more cocktails. The evening was certainly on the pricier side, yet it was worth every penny. The service from all four staff members who attended to us was exemplary, contributing significantly to our tremendous dining experience. Hats off to Butchers Shop Bar and Grill for creating such a warm and memorable evening!

Had some trouble with online booking but they got me a table ahead of the Friday dinner service before a concert. Food was excellent, bartender made an awesome martini, and service was spectacular.
