beGIN

Arrived in Glasgow for a conference and was finding my feet in the surrounding environs. Stumbled upon BeGin and was glad I did. Sara behind the bar made us feel very comfortable, was full of recommendations about the west end and is truly wise beyond her years. Mazen made us an excellent old fashioned and Robbie the manager although very busy was singularly handsome and quick with a good one liner. We'll definitely be back and this little gem is worth a trip.

BROKEN GLASS IN MY DRINK I was chewing what I thought was ice from my drink when I suddenly had to spit out a jagged shard of glass. My glass itself wasn’t broken—the shard must have come from their ice supply. I’m incredibly lucky that the shard of glass was large enough that I tried to bite it, rather than immediately swallowing it and probably dying. I’ll be looking into how to report this to health authorities, because this is just an absolutely appalling and dangerous error. Unless you want to spend the final moments of your life choking on your own blood while shards of glass rip your throat apart, avoid this bar at all costs. On a positive note, this experience served as a reminder of how fragile life is, and to appreciate your loved ones while you’re still breathing.

Great relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and cool vibe in the West End of Glasgow

Went way down hill since last time I visited. And you can tell, it’s a Saturday night, GlasGlow on across the road and it’s hardly jumping. Maybe explained by the staff not really knowing what they’re doing as well as the lack of even a gin menu (in Glasgow’s premier gin bar!). Fiancé had to explain to the barmaid what a perfect serve is. Anyway, this is what we got for our perfect serve (which kinda tasted like a basic G&T)…

I like beGin ,we use it as a meeting point and sometimes ending point if we're having a meal out on byres rd or great western road this it's a nice little place varies in businesses, can have a chat easily and good selection of Drinks , can be slightly pricey on certain things though.

Thomas’s craftsmanship behind the bar left me and my companion awestruck by not only the delightful cocktails, but also by his witty conversation. I cannot recommend this spectacular bar enough!

Thomas, Robbie & Sara were fantastic , they looked after us all night, great patter and even better hospitality. Absolute credit to Be Gin!

It's just an offshoot of the Grosvenor Hilton complex so expect hotel prices. We arrived before the rush on the weekend so service was fine. The wine list is a bit uninspired but the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed which I appreciated after a long day. Staff were attentive without ever being obtrusive.
