The Clockwork Beer Company

The Southside of Glasgow is fast becoming one of the most vibrant sections of the city, with a seemingly endless wave of cafes, bars and restaurants springing up, whipping it into fighting shape, ready to take on the West End as the plucky, rough-edged underdog taking on the overconfident champ.

The Clockwork Beer Company sits a little outside the action, watching the recent flurry from the far reaches of Cathcart Road, near Hampden Park. Aside from those making the matchday march as part of Tartan Army, it’s not an area many will find themselves drawn to on a regular basis, but Clockwork’s microbrewery meets bar/restaurant sits ready and willing to make wandering out that way well worth your while.

The food menu is loaded up with breakfast, lunch and dinner options ranging from light bites to piled-high burgers and gourmet pizzas. Come in with a hunger and they’ve got you covered. Being a brewery though, it’s the drink that’ll most likely draw you. Whether you’re drinking to the health of the national side with a pint of the beautifully named Hampden Roar, sipping on one of their ever-changing guest ales or sampling something from their vast collection of international brews, Clockwork provides an airy, open bar and a tranquil beer garden for you to enjoy your chosen suds.

With some great offers on brewery tours running throughout the year, The Clockwork Beer Company is worth making time for.
