J.o.E Burger / Makin’ Bacon Burger – Distill, Glasgow

Formerly known as ‘the Ivy’, Distill isn’t so much the new kid on the block but rather the same Finnieston bar that you all know and love just dressed up a little differently. The bar was forced to change it’s name after being threatened with legal action by the famous, celebrity-friendly Ivy bar in London. […]

The Burns Supper Beast Burger – Lebowski’s, Glasgow

Longtime readers of the site will already know that we’ve recommended the burgers from Lebowski’s very highly on several occasions. The ‘Big Lebowski’ is one of the most gut-busting double stack of patties that we’ve eaten and the White Russians aren’t half bad either! To our surprise, Lebowski’s announced on their Facebook page that they […]

Burger vs. Steak Frites Tuesday – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

It’s been a while since we got our burger on at the Butchershop Bar & Grill. You may remember that we reviewed their mysterious specials menu burger last year – the one that isn’t on the menu and that you need to ask for specially at the weekend. To date, it’s still one of the […]

Bookclub Burger – Hillhead Bookclub, Glasgow

Self-described as ‘a venue where left and right handers can exist in harmony without fear of persecution’, you can pretty much tell which type of atmosphere you can expect from the Hillhead Bookclub as soon as you check out their website. Offering a laid back, shabby-chic atmosphere complete with retro games consoles, ping pong, mismatched […]

Left Bank Burger – The Left Bank, Glasgow

Located in the heart of Glasgow’s west end, just minutes from Kelvinbridge subway station, you’d be forgiven for walking right past the Left bank without even noticing it – something that we’ve been guilty of many times in the past. However, inside this very unassuming building is a bar filled with so many nooks, crannies, […]

Lucretia Burger – Nice ‘N’ Sleazy, Glasgow

Lu·cre·tia [loo-kree-shuh, -shee-uh].Roman Legend. A Roman woman whose suicide led to the expulsion of the Tarquins and the establishment of the Roman republic. This was our second visit to Nice ‘N’ Sleazy. We stopped by a few months ago to review the ‘Behemoth Burger’, which you can check out by clicking HERE. Over the past […]

Beef / Lamb & Chorizo / Venison & Blue Cheese Burgers – The Pelican Cafe, Glasgow

Prior to this review, I had unknowingly walked past the Pelican Cafe many times, usually on my way to Brewdog next door or Glasgow’s Kelvinhall. We were out in Glasgow to meet up with a couple of friends and decided to get some dinner in too. As the Pelican is located just seconds away from […]

Inn Deep Burger – Inn Deep, Glasgow

I had never visited the Big Blue Bar & Restaurant, which formally occupied 445 Great Western Road. I had heard good things about their burgers but simply just hadn’t found the time to stop by. Whilst I was planning out a list of upcoming reviews, I was surprised to find out that Big Blue had […]

St Louis Smokin’ Burger – St Louis Cafe Bar, Glasgow

After my visit to the St Louis Cafe, I almost feel bad that it has gone unnoticed by me for as long as it has. Until last week, I didn’t even know the cafe existed and it was only when James vs. Burger reader Emma Duguid posted a photo of a burger on our Facebook […]

Oxtail & Bone Marrow Special Burger – The Grosvenor Cafe, Glasgow

I recently sampled the Grosvenor’s oxtail and bone marrow beef burger at the 2012 Glasgow’s Best Burger contest and despite only having a few bites, I knew it was one that I had to try on it’s own. Tucked away on Ashton Lane, the Grosvenor Cafe doesn’t look all that big on the outside, but […]
