Oran Mor

Oran Mor provides culture vultures with a new destination in Glasgow’s fashionable West End. This bustling arts venue is the result of an inspirational conversion of a landmark Kelvinside church by entertainment entrepreneur Colin Beattie & comes complete with a not-to-be missed Alasdair Gray mural in its atmospheric Auditorium. For ladies – & lads – who lunch, the bright Conservatory nestles alongside the atmospheric Whisky Bar, sharing with it a homely menu of well-produced starters & mains, including classics such as mince & tatties, & cullen skink. For more intimacy, try the upmarket Brasserie, with its stained glass & sumptuous banquettes. It’s worth checking the website for musical & literary happenings – for example, Oran Mor’s innovative lunchtime series ‘a Play, a Pie & a Pint’, all for £7, £10 or £12.50 depending on the day of the week.
