It's Springtime in Glasgow
As we’re sure you know by now, Alston Bar & Beef is tucked beneath the iconic arches of Glasgow Central Station, offering a cosy, atmospheric escape from the buzz of the city above. Whether you’re joining us for a perfectly cooked dry-aged Scotch steak in the restaurant or settling into the bar for cocktails, craft beers or a carefully selected wine, Alston is the ideal springtime spot to gather with friends before or after a day (or night) in the city.
Spring in Glasgow brings a packed cultural calendar worth planning around. March sees the return of the Glasgow Film Festival and the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, filling cinemas and venues across the city with premieres, stand-up and special events. You can explore what’s on via the official listings here.
Alston is ideal for Rugby fans looking for a steak after heading back from Edinburgh from watching the drama of the Six Nations Championship, while gig-goers flocking to the OVO Hydro and SEC Armadillo for major touring acts and live shows throughout March and April are welcome to drop in for a meal or a few drinks to start or end their day.
In April, Glasgow comes alive with Easter events, theatre productions and concerts, including big-name performances such as Peter Kay at the Hydro. The full April events calendar can be found here: https://www.whatsonglasgow.co.uk/events/all-events/2026/04/ . Or, you might also plan a visit around a trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum or a stroll through the West End as the city’s parks burst back into life.
So whether you’re in the mood for exceptional steak, a perfectly poured pint, or cocktails beneath the arches before a show, Alston ticks every box. Reserve a table or simply walk in, soak up the atmosphere, and make the most of Glasgow this spring.
