in today's video we're going to be
showing you around Glasgow Scotland this
is a city that we visited last autumn
and then again this summer and on both
visits wheat like kings and queens
because it turns out Glasgow is a great
destination for foodies since we never
got around to making a travel guide on
our first visit today we're going to be
combining the footage from both of those
trips to show you some of the best
things to do in Glasgow and also some of
the best places to eat and drink so
let's get started so I'm excited for
this next attraction we're actually
going into the kelvingrove art gallery
and museum and last time we were in
Glasgow it was closed I think we got
here a little bit too early and we had
other things scheduled so we totally
missed it so yeah this time we're
checking it out kelvingrove art gallery
and museum is divided into two main
sections on the right hand side you have
a museum which focuses on Natural
History world cultures and archaeology
and then on the left hand side you have
the art gallery which showcases
paintings furniture and Scottish art
which makes it very easy to explore
based on your interests while I found
myself drawn to the museum side it
wasn't long before I was lured over to
the art gallery by the floating heads a
one-of-a-kind installation that's hard
to miss so that was a really cool
experience I'm so glad we got to do it
this time around yeah and it's the kind
of attraction where you don't want to
budget like a few hours because it is
big inside hmm and it has a very
eclectic mix of different galleries
[Music]
so we just finished visiting the
kelvingrove art gallery and museum it's
just a skip and a hop over to Glasgow
University children resist coming back
because seriously look around it looks
like the set of Harry Potter even though
it's probably not the University of
Glasgow was founded in 1451 and it's one
of Scotland's four ancient universities
with that in mind you can count on some
amazing architecture especially around
the cloisters seeing as it was almost
lunchtime we hopped in a taxi and rode
across town to the dry gate brewery this
is a place that I had been to on our
last trip to Glasgow this time around we
signed up for the through the glass tour
for a quick lesson on the art of brewing
and while we were at it we paired our
beers with lunch so it is right around
lunchtime and we have just arrived at
the dry gate brewery here in Glasgow and
we're gonna be doing a through the glass
tour
so our meter has actually arrived let me
lift this for you how cool is this
and when I'm talking through the glass
check oh god these are in total we
sampled four beers
my favorite was called disco forklift
truck and it was a pale ale that was
fruity and tropical thanks to someone's
genius idea to add mango juice then for
food I had fish and chips and Audrey
went for something a little more
adventurous
I got ox cheek and I've only had ox
cheek once before in Lao and Luang
Prabang and I really enjoyed it I
haven't seen it on a menu since so I
figured we know what you're gonna make a
sandwich for us yeah my work of art
[Music]
a giant visa bleep what do you think
good it's really nice is it
that's a nice sweetness to it okay and
it kind of looks like pulled pork yeah
so yeah let me just breaks apart it's
super tender really really good I can't
wait to try that our adventures
continued the following day with an
amazing meal at a Colton in the heart of
the Baris it is time for food again and
today we're at bad which stands for
embarrass art in design it's a really
cool space for starters there is art
everywhere they have these amazing
murals but also once you go inside you
have like little shops restaurants bars
sometimes they have art exhibitions they
host music gigs markets so it's really
cool it's a versatile space but now
let's go see if our food is ready yeah
we've come here for lunch
well the appetizer is here and it looks
amazing we went for the risotto and
squid ink and sea bass so I'm going to
dig right in because look at this
I love risotto maybe I should chives
Snicket and I love his attitude that's
actually what I've ordered as my main
coming later
then Sam ordered the roasted red pepper
pearl barley risotto for the Maine and I
had the lamb leg steak with baby carrots
beet roots and turnips it was a
fantastic meal next up it was time to
check out the gin scene and for this we
visited the Glasgow gin distillery over
on the south side we got to tour the
place learn a bit more about gin
production and then at the very end it
was time for the good stuff a gin
tasting so we're at the Glasgow
distillery company glass goes first
single malt distillery in over 110 years
since 1902 and we are proud crafters of
glass goes only gin Macker
original Jen time for the gin tasting
used to having that with tonic oh yeah
it's got a nice a nice aroma as a
dominate here
it's nice fragrance aromatic floral
later that evening we went on a
do-it-yourself food crawl where we
visited a few different bars and
restaurants along venison which is in
the city's West End first up we visited
the drugstore social a bar that is set
up in an old fashioned pharmacy
I've ordered myself something called the
heart beats and drive so describe it I'm
gonna review the ingredients because I
don't know why alcohols that well but
this one is a beet root infused meds
cows with sake so that's an interesting
mix we've got Mexico and Japan happening
in this drink
yeah check it out and they has a big
cube of ice and it kind of looks like a
heart honestly yeah yes Sam chose the
goodnight kiss which had Pisco and
coconut liquor I liked his drink the
best and then we ordered one more so
this next one yes we got a third drink
it's called smoke and the water and it
was a really dramatic drink like we
bring the glass flip upside down okay so
yeah I've already poured myself a little
bit Thanks
good yeah yeah thank you
our second stop of the night was the
finished in which specializes in gin and
seafood audrey tried her first oysters
and then we had a couple more drinks as
you do next drink of choice is the
martini but look at how they serve it
here this is so creative this is the
alcohol and they keep it chilled in this
large glass light and once you're ready
you just keep chopping up your glass
pour a little in lastly to wrap up the
night we went to Porter & rye for dinner
this is a steakhouse specializing in
aged beef all right we've had drinks
we've had appetizers now it's time for
dinner
we've talked over to Porter and dry
where the thing to order is staged we've
ordered two different states this one
right in front of me has been aged for
50 days
and the one in front of Sam has been
aged for over a hundred days so this is
a first for me
I have never ordered an aged steak
before so let's just sit right in and
see what it tastes like
completely any new culinary experience
happened
it's a good it tastes different it's
very tender yeah
because the beat coming I feel like he
kind of enhances the flavors it
intensifies it a little bit
it's not and for our last meal in town
the following morning we ate at cafe
Gandolfi a cozy spot that serves up a
delicious breakfast I went for the
gendell tea vegetarian with halloumi and
filled mushrooms and it was amazing
now that we've shown you what we got off
to on our most recent visit to Glasgow
let's rewind to last year's trip one of
the first places we visited was the
Glasgow Botanic Garden in the city's
West End my favorite part of the garden
was the kibble palace which is a 19th
century wrought iron glass house which
features beautiful sculptures amidst the
foliage for a completely different vibe
we also hit up to Cannon Street one of
the main shopping thoroughfares in
Glasgow
we were there on a weekend so it was
full of shoppers and buskers and it was
buzzing and right along Buchanan Street
we came across the willow tea rooms
where we had a little afternoon tea so
what are we up to on this sunny day so
on the south side of glasgow you can get
out into nature and we're just exploring
the countryside and apparently there's
gonna be some hairy coos we can spot
hurricanes let's go find them
[Music]
and just a short drive from there we
visited house for an art lover in Bella
Houston Park where they have some cool
sculptures around the garden we also
visited Glasgow Cathedral and the nearby
necropolis which is a Victorian Cemetery
located on a hill just east of the
Cathedral and not too far from there we
found Glasgow green a nice park in the
city's East End that is also home to the
People's Palace which tells the story of
the city and its people and last but not
least it was on this trip that we
discovered one of our favorite
restaurants in Glasgow the crafty Pig
this place specializes in pulled pork
sandwiches delicious fries and the most
decadent of Milkshakes so we found
ourselves going back time and again so
Glasgow is the city for foodies there is
