The Butterfly and Pig is hands down THE best pub/restaurant in Glasgow topped off by the only club in Glasgow I actually feel comfortable and has any character.
The food is outstanding - very few places do such authentic home made food and the menu is not your run of the mill boring, heart attack pub fare. The staff are always excellent, we go in every so often and they always remember us. They're friendly and efficient. The music's great, the decor's great. Everything about this place is brilliant.

Nice food and friendly staff help to make this bar / bistro a hip place to go. I get what they are doing here but wish they'd smarten in up a touch or at least the waiting staff.
Other than that a thumbs up from me ;-)

The Butterfly and Pig is lovely and mismatched but in a trendy kind of way. Everything is heavy wood and sumptious old-fashioned sofas, with great fabric wallpaper, it makes you feel like you have stepped back in time leaving your worries firmly in the present. It attracts a lively crowd who don't take themselves too seriously and always tends to be pretty full, which is a good sign, but can leave you without a seat. Prices are reasonable. Monday night they run an original pub quiz, in fact the format varies from week to week, but its good fun and a bit more interesting than your standard 'what's the capital of...'. With a restaurant and a club, all your evening entertainment needs are under the one roof.

Superduper Quirkiness! 11th September 2008

Kitsch-tastic - The Butterfly and The Pig (or Pig and Butterfly if you're drunk already and get confused like me) is a fantastic bar running along Bath Street. Like stepping into the world of Alice in Wonderland, the decor is like your Granny's front room mixed with shabby chic furnishings and laid-back style. The portions are huge, so if your eyes are bigger than your belly choose wisely! Best bit is you can gain access to the Buff Club to continue your experience post-midnight. Fab!

Odd and quirky are two words that apply to this place. It is like sitting in your grandma's - if you grandma had mismatched cutlery. It is kind of Alice in Wonderland. Confused - you will be when you see the menu. It takes a while to work out what you are reading and then think about it as food! Crazy but the food is great and friends and work colleagues keep coming back here for lunch. The food is fresh and the staff really seem to know the menu - which is great given how confusing it is to read. I have not had desserts here but if the main course portions are anything to go by they are probably huge! There is a decent veggie and fish selection and check out the main of the day also.
