Good place to grab some good adorable food. Just a small minus ➖ was spicy vegan burger (it should not be in any circumstances) all other good with amazing polite stuff. They also let me leave my car for an hour during my walk tour.

Overview
The Howgait on St James Road is a Stonegate / People’s Pub lounge bar on the edge of Townhead, between student halls, the Royal Infirmary and the Merchant City. Expect pub classics, student and Blue Light deals, big-screen sport, Friday live music from about 8pm, and a large beer garden when the weather allows. It is inexpensive and casual — good for a quick lunch or pint rather than a special-occasion meal. Diners often praise friendly staff and value; some note incomplete menus or slower kitchen when busy. Order at the bar; book ahead for larger groups if needed.
Reviews
Thank you Courtney for making our lunch so welcoming and lovely! We were fortunate to come here on a warm, sunny Saturday and enjoy the special where you get to choose two drinks and several small plates. All were delicious. We especially enjoyed the wings and the corn dogs. Atmosphere is great and on a nice sunny day, you can sit outside as well. Great selection of beers on draft and friendly staff.

Read on Google MapsDrove past this place for years but never ventured in until today. It's a really decent pub. Lively atmosphere, good tap selection and cheap pub food. I'll be back.
Read on Google MapsJust visited for a very quick drink one afternoon, so no idea how it would be full swing. Service was grand, it was fairly busy for midweek mid afternoon. Would definitely revisit and try the food. The smells were good
