"Spoken Word Showcases Glasgow is widely regarded as a hub of creative energy and there are various outlets around the city for established and emerging talent to showcase their work. In the West End, the Rio Cafe and Inn Deep host renowned open mic evenings. Another good venue is the Queen Margaret Union at Glasgow University."
The Rio has recently come under new management, and the improvements to the menu have been immediate.
The recipes for the burgers have been changed, and they are good! We had the Rio Burger, It was a good size, and tasted fantastic. It looked and tasted like a top-notch home-made burger. The chips were excellent too.
They have some fantastic milkshakes as well. My daughter loved the Kinder Milkshake.
More improvements to the menu are in the pipeline. I am looking forward to trying the new menu out.
And you can take your dog in!

A well-loved feature in the west end of Glasgow. The Rio has a relaxed slightly vintage diner atmosphere and a decent menu that includes good options for vegetarians and vegans. Their breakfasts are particularly good! The many live events that they host are also worth investigating.

Terrible service. Walked in, kindly asked if we order at the till and the waitress advised us to take a seat. Sat down and waited almost 10mins. Meanwhile a group of three women came in long after us and they were served immediately. Doesn't deserve our business and will NOT be coming back.

The pub quiz on a Tuesday is great fun, different and doesn't drag on. Well worth going out on a school night. Oh and £5 burgers while you're there. Value.

The perfect cafe . Great food, cakes ice cream, tea and coffee. . . And in the evenings, you can have a drink too, and listen to live music or enjoy cabaret acts. Friendly, fun and fantastic.

Nice place but you do have a wait for food so don't go if your in a rush to see a band. They have a quiz night once a week & other entertainment

The place smells, draft beer was awful (flat and tasteless) and food was really cheap, low quality and greasy. One of those places you just know you'll never walk in again.
