With the hippest restaurants and its proximity to the SSE Hydro Arena giving it access to some of the best gigs, people regularly flock the area, thankfully it's also home to some of the city's best bars.
Here are five of our favourites:

This drinking den and ode to the Coen Brother's movie of the same name is the best place to go in the city for a White Russian - and that's not just like, our opinion man... it's pretty much everyone's view.
It also has a pretty excellent array of other drinks and of course some truly epic burgers and live entertainment on some nights, making it one of the most fun places to be any night of the week.

Mal Spence's Victorian style drinking palace is widely considered to be the best place in Glasgow to go for a cocktail.
On a seasonal rotation – the mixologist creations here include a variety of bizarre and unique ingredients such as caramel popcorn – meaning there’s always something new to discover on a menu that constantly shifts, while wines and beers are sourced from small vineyards and local breweries giving the whole place a local feel.

Long before the hipsters and mixologists arrived in Finnieston, the area's Highland and Island themed pubs were a huge draw for Highlanders living in or visiting the city and the Ben Nevis (along with some other more traditional pubs further up Argyle Street) are the legacy of that.
A cracking little Highland bar in the middle of the city, the Ben Nevis is a hub for great drams, pints and of course live folk music.
