TikTok creator and foodie fan extraordinaire Suzanne Blyth, aka Rare Tares, reveals the best new spots to check out in Glasgow...
Slouch
203-205 Bath Street, Glasgow
Slouch has reopened after a huge renovation. The interiors have been revamped and the menu has undergone a transformation, surprising me with a generous tapas selection. Some of the more intriguing options include a Buckfast ox cheek bourguignon, as well as staple dishes such as patatas bravas and macaroni cheese. For a bar, the quality of the food caught me off guard. I’ll definitely be back.

Flight Club
Flight Club
32 North Frederick Street, Glasgow
The newly opened Flight Club is part of the popular chain of bars known for social darts. I had been to their London location and was excited to check it out in Glasgow. The decor blew me away. It is designed to resemble an old-fashioned funfair and you can tell there has been so much time put into it. The cocktails were delicious – the pink fizz stood out – and the food options were decent, with mini bruschetta a personal favourite. The main event was undoubtedly the darts. We reserved a lane that accommodated up to six. Group packages make it an ideal choice for a Christmas night out.

Maggie’s Rock n Rodeo
60 Trongate, Glasgow
The transformation of the original Maggie Mays into a country and western-style restaurant, complete with a rodeo bull, has been brilliantly executed. I loved the old Maggie Mays so I was initially a bit unsure about the refurb but it really exceeded expectations. The menu offers American favourites such as burgers, chicken and pizzas, while the cocktails are not only delicious but creative. My favourite was the Cotton Eyed Joe complete with a huge bundle of candy floss. The highlight of Maggie’s is undeniably the bucking bronco, and, even though I was admittedly too scared to try it this time, I’m definitely up for the challenge on my next visit!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
