You’re gliding out of your lecture hall, relieved but still slightly stressed out, after a group presentation that took three weeks and seven tubes of Pringles to materialize. The PowerPoint slides are still imprinted in your brain, but you won’t let that stop you from an eager jaunt to the nearest bar for a well deserved, celebratory cocktail.

Perching sassily on a barstool like they do in the movies, you order you and your pals a round of daiquiris, only to be accosted by a price tag that would severely debilitate your last chunk of SAAS.

There’s no bigger bummer than the combo of an overpriced drink and a shabby bank balance. This is why we’ve scoured Glasgow’s streets for the best city cocktails on a budget, so that you can slurp down a post lecture bevvy in style. Slàinte!

Bread & Butter

Nestled in a nook on Glasgow’s famous Buchanan Street, Bread & Butter’s spacious interior and sleek leather sofas present the perfect perimeter for a chilled couple of cocktails of hefty pre-drinks with your squad.

Tuesday-Fri promos shave down the dollar of the usual £6.00 cocktails to a mere £3.50, featuring creamy White Russians, classic French Martinis, refreshing Mojitos and heaps more as well as an affordable and mouth-watering mocktails menu. If you’re treating yourself to a fancier concoction, you’ll pay no more than a fiver Sun-Wed for Aperol Spritz, Pear and Raspberry Mules and Rum and Vanilla sours.

If you’ve had your fill from the cocktail menu, you can also grab a bottle of house win for £8.95 Tues-Fri or a bottle of Prosecco for £13.95. Delicious nosh also adorns the menus for just a few pennies and includes lamb samosas, popcorn chicken and crispy homemade pizzas.

Vodka Wodka

With atmospheric lighting and a cracking beer garden, Vodka Wodka is a casual saunter from Glasgow Uni and Byers Road on Ashton Lane, and offers awesome promos on selected cocktails mid week for as little as £3.50, as well as yummy Italian bites and a fine selection of vodkas.

Bar Home

Located in the trendy but often pricey Merchant City, Bar Home defies the traditional costly cocktails of the area by offering mid week deals for half price on selected cocktails and drinks. Living up to its name, its comfy furniture and balcony provides a great setting for a post study session martini (or two).

Tingle

Open to party 7 nights a week, Tingle is a shooter bar that offers an array of delicious shooters and shots for as little as £1.50 as well as a myriad of cocktail promos and bangin’ tunes, pre club parties and nightly DJs.

Hummingbird

Cocktail bars, party pods, gourmet burgers and numerous club nights! Hummingbird is an ideal haunt for students looking for a bite and a drink for a Bath Street crawl or before heading out to the club. Its famous half price cocktails are available on Fridays and include Raspberry and elderflower Collins, Lemon Bon Bons and Hummingbird Martinis.
