When it comes to cocktails, Glasgow has often been overshadowed by Edinburgh's award-winning scene.
But over the past decade or so, the resurgence of our own cocktail scene led by the likes of the Kelvingrove Café and the Gate has given us something to shout about.
And now two of our newer bars have just been named among the UK's very best, proving that Glasgow can mix it (pun intended) with the best of them when it comes to creating the very best drinks.
Each year, over 100 industry experts, from bartenders and owners, to drinks writers and influencers, scour the country to find and vote for their favourite venues.
