Best Place To Go For Coffee Cocktails

For the final blog post, I am going to keep it short and sweet! This is a quick post about the place to get coffee cocktails! Combining the two things this blog is about! The most obvious cocktail you can get that mixes coffee and alcohol is expresso martini. This is one of my personal favourite drinks to get while at any cocktail bar. As well, other coffee favoured drinks I have tried is a hot flat white Russian! I find for these types of drinks it is best to ask the bar staff what they recommend as this is when you are most likely to get the best drink or try something new that you would not have typically chosen from the menu. 

Hillhead Bookclub and Bar Soba are two of the best places I have found for different coffee flavoured drinks, both bars are good places to go for late night post-uni drinks and are reasonably priced. Other places that I have heard good things about from people that have been reading this blog is to try out Strata in Merchant City. This bar reopened in 2012 with a new and improved look and menu, serving both food and cocktails this is somewhere that is top of my list to try on my next free weekday evening. I have heard many good things about the atmosphere and service and I have heard they make a great espresso martini!

Although expresso martini and other coffee flavoured drinks are not the fastest and easiest drinks to make, they are definitely worth it in the long run and something I would recommend branching out and trying if you have yet to experience the great mix that is alcohol and coffee for something different than your usual drink choice.  

Thank you for reading my previous blog posts! It has been fun writing about my two favourite things and it has been fun trying all these places and drinks out all in the name of research!

Best Place for Coffee on Campus

Image
Following on from the last blog post which gave advice on going elsewhere on campus, it should be said that there are places on campus that are worthwhile checking out if you need a quick lunch or coffee break.  First on the list is: Sir William Duncan Building: Located on Rottenrow behind the business school building, this building has a mix of seating available as well as PC’s available to use. Plenty of hot food choices available and Starbucks coffee -  this building is the best place to go if you have an hour break and have some last-minute tutorial prep but want to grab a quick coffee too. Easy to get to and the (almost) full Starbucks menu on offer, a good all-round place to visit. Next up is on campus at the bottom of the hill and a new addition to the line of shops on George street, Tim Hortons! Obviously, there are more than one of these in Glasgow now but this one is predominately filled up with student’s due to the location. Good food...

Best Coffee Shops in Glasgow to Study

I think I speak for most students when I say the library is the worst building on campus. Its loud, busy and you can never get a seat at the booths with the charger space. Not to mention the criminally expensive and mediocre food and drink choices downstairs (I am looking at you Nourish cafe). Therefore it is no surprise that when I have coursework to complete I will avoid Andersonian library as much as I can choosing to retreat to the business building or Sir William Duncan building. However sometimes these buildings are equally as busy as the library so instead, the next best option is to go to one of the many coffee shops Glasgow has to offer and study there. There is a much better selection of food and hot drinks and at least when you pay £8 for a coffee and a sandwich it is at least worth your while. Going off campus to study is sometimes the best option and here are the best places to go to avoid the constant battle to find a seat with a charging spot in the librar...

5 Places for Cheap Cocktails in Glasgow

I have compiled a list of the top 5 places to go for mid-week drinks in the city centre, doing the hard work and research so you don't have to. Team player I know.  Slug and Lettuce - St Vincent Street I truly believe there is not a student alive who hasn't been to Slug and Lettuce for drinks at some point in their academic career. A chain bar which opens late during the week (and opens early for those middle of the day uni breaks). Describing themselves as a cool & contemporary style bar with live music, space to charge your phone and more importantly, a decent wifi connection. T here is not much else you could want out of a cocktail bar, however,   it gets better. 50% off cocktails, all day every day.  There is not much else I need to say, it ticks all the boxes for a place to visit if you have yet to try. The only issue with the 50% off offer is it applies if it is the same drink, so if you have an odd number of friends with you then its easier t...
