About Ashton Lane

	Ashton Lane, Glasgow West End

Listed Under Attractions - Days Out / Eating and Drinking - Bars and Pubs / Eating and Drinking - Beer Gardens / Attractions - Cinemas / Attractions - Live Music Venues / Eating and Drinking - Restaurants

The Famous Grosvenor Cafe and the now internationally renowned 'Chip' remain a defining feature. Some like Jinty McGuintys Irish Bar have been there a while too, almost 25 years.

Ashton Lane continues north as Cresswell Lane, where the variety of bars and restaurants is supplemented by a gallery of small specialist shops. The Lane and its surroundings might then be regarded as Glasgow's equivalent of Dublin's Temple Bar area or Edinburgh's Rose Street. While still popular with local residents and students, it is now firmly established on the Glasgow tourist trail.
