Overview

The Spiritualist opened in March 2016 at 62 Miller Street in a converted former library in the Merchant City, from operators Ryan Barrie and Jim Ballantyne. It launched with a claim to Scotland’s biggest bar gantry — around 320 spirits and liqueurs — and still sells itself on cocktails, rare bottles and shareable food more than a quiet restaurant meal. Boozy brunch runs Thursday–Sunday 12–3pm (£36pp for a brunch dish, arrival drink and two brunch cocktails). Bar bites are available Wed–Fri all day and Sat–Sun from 3pm; the kitchen runs until 9pm (8pm Sundays on the homepage note). Book online or walk in; drinks-only bookings are fine; parties of 8+ should call. Expect a sleek, high-ceiling cocktail room that gets lively later. Under-18s with a responsible adult until 8pm. St Enoch subway and Queen Street / Central are a short walk; Miller Street is also lined with other restaurants if you want a full meal crawl.

--- Fantastic atmosphere – would definitely recommend! We didn’t have a reservation but were really pleased to get a table for 1.5 hours, especially given how busy it was on a Saturday. Although we didn’t eat this time, the dishes we saw coming out looked amazing – we’re already planning to come back just for the food! Huge shout-out to our server, who was incredibly bubbly, friendly, and attentive – the service was spot on and really added to the experience.

Went with high expectations for drinks on a saturday night because of the reviews, but it was below average. The cocktails were really really tasteless and did not look good either. We had far better drinks at places that were not labeled as a sophisticated cocktail bar. However the place has a nice design, staff is nice but they don t know very well the cocktails. Pretty crowded, book a table in advance.

I had booked the boozy brunch at spiritualist as I had wanted to go try it for a while. Pride in Glasgow proved to be the perfect opportunity. The brunch dishes available offers good mix and allowing those in party to go off the al carte menu as well is a nice touch. The drink options were decent however to advertise 1 cocktail as part of the main menu that didn't also feature on the boozy brunch is a bit silly. The music was pride appropriate and the staff were all very friendly. Will definitely return.

Food and service were excellent! Every member of staff were to the same standard of service. Lovely atmosphere, place was spotless and so were the toilets. Food was incredible. Will be back.
