In Glasgow’s Merchant City, Malo brings a sophisticated twist to the city’s bar and dining scene. Positioned as a wine and Negroni bar, Malo combines an extensive drinks menu with a curated selection of snacks and sharing boards, all served in stylish and atmospheric surrounds.
The decor is cosy and modern, blending moody tones with industrial-style ceilings and large globe lights. A grand marble bar lined with black stools creates the focal point, while plush banquettes and tucked-away corners provide more intimate spaces. The overall feel is elegant and sophisticated, striking a balance between buzzy and refined.
Drinks take centre stage at Malo. The cocktail list is anchored by Negronis, offered in several variations including classic, smoky and spicy, as well as inventive spritzes such as the Americano and Muz spritz. These sit alongside a broad wine list and a carefully chosen range of gins, beers and premium spirits, making the bar a go-to for both casual evenings and celebratory nights out.
To complement the drinks, guests can enjoy a range of light bites and sharing options. Smaller snacks include olives, smoked almonds, jalapeño pretzels, wasabi peas and spicy peanuts—perfect for grazing. For something more substantial, the cheese board features three cheeses with biscuits, grapes and chutneys, while the charcuterie board offers focaccia with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, cornichons and three cured meats. Guests can also opt for simple focaccia with olive oil and balsamic for a classic pairing with wine.
With capacity for around 120 guests across two levels, Malo combines atmosphere with flexibility. Whether for cocktails and snacks, wine and charcuterie, or a relaxed evening with friends, it delivers an elevated yet approachable experience in the heart of Merchant City.
