It has a variety of restaurants for lunch or just a relaxing drink. There is a place called "Beer Cafe" try beers from around the world. This area also organizes a festival every year, which lasts one week, with art and street events and food stands around the world.

Fantastic Art and Design Fair featuring a wide range of hand made and crafted items from local creative people. Everything from Visual Art to Jewellry to Glass Design to Wood Turning to Fabric Design and Confectionery. All under one roof in the Merchant Square sorounded by a selection of bars and restaurants. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. One of Glasgow's most unique destinations for visitors and locals alike.

I have been to Merchant City on many occasions weither it be for day or night & have always enjoyed it!There is so many resturants & bars to choose from you are spoilt for choice!

I visit this area regularly while in Glasgow. It is an ever changing environment with something for everyone. Loads of shops, restaurants, pubs & clubs. Never a dull moment here.

what can I say about the merchant city ,well if you want a drink or a bite to eat or some music or all of that this is the place to go , there are so many different types of restaurants and bars all in a small area ,it seem's like a city of it's own .

The Merchant City continues to thrive with many great restaurants and now a few quaint shops popping up. Also very close to the main shopping areas of Argyle Street and Buchanan Street with less hustle and bustle. Great during the Merchant City Fertival.

Small antique shops cafes bars parking available.good place to do tour of city along argyle St to the famous "Barras" then along the river side nice walkway

If you like hustle and bustle and like to be seen this is a good place for you. Lots of pubs and places to eat - a wide choice of restaurants and cafes. Wouldn't recommend it for young children evenings onwards as it can be a bit loud and behaviour vulgar at times.

An homage to the tobacco merchants, clothing industry and architecture fit for the Merchants who built Glasgow. There is superb architecture, use of spaces and plenty of shopping and entertainment for all the family.

great for all ages, wide selection of eateries and bars etc, great atmosphere, Bar Espagnol tapas were really tasty deffo recommend these especially the meatballs, a bit of salsa going on too

This is a great area - loads of restaurants and bars and a good feel to it. Certainly worth going to both day and evening. Lots of old buildings have been renovated and the bars and eateries have great character.

From designer shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and night clubs the Merchant City is a must see for anyone visiting Glasgow.

Not so long ago the Merchant City had real character, was about as Glaswegian as you could get, but now it has been turned into a yuppified, trendy, giant, open-air shopping mall... if shopping turns you on, you'll love it, but personally I find it all a bit soulless.

This is a must visit place. Various bars and good quality resturants. They all do great lunchtime specails for a resonable price. During the evening there is plenty of nightlife between the various places. Parking on street is free after 6pm but there is a QPARK facility on Albion Street (not that cheap but better than a parking ticket).
