From Glasgow to Manhattan in One Sip— Maison by Glaschu is Sex & the City approved!
If Sex and the City had a Glasgow spin-off, you can bet that the girls would be perched at the bar in Maison by Glaschu, sipping espresso martinis and spilling the latest gossip. This place has big Carrie Bradshaw energy— stylish, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool. Whether you’re here for a glamorous girls’ night, a long lazy brunch, or just a cosmopolitan that would make Samantha proud, Maison delivers all the chic, all the charm, and just the right amount of mischief. So slip into your best heels, round up your besties (or your Mr. Big), and get ready for an evening that feels straight out of a SATC episode.
Step inside, and you’ll feel like you have entered a retro-luxe hideaway, where elegance meets comfort. The low lighting, rich leather seating, sleek marble tables, and some soft jazz vibes create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The bar is a showstopper, lined with premium spirits, fine wines, and expertly crafted glassware— because here drinks aren’t just poured, they are presented.
It is the perfect spot whether you’re dressed up for a celebration, catching up with friends over a cocktail, or just treating yourself to a top-tier night out. Myself? I had stumbled into Maison after watching Bridget Jones at Everyman, and I needed something to take the edge off because WOW that film was gut-wrenching ANYWAY…
Let’s be real— if you’re coming to Maison, you have to start with a cocktail. And trust me, they aren’t your average servings. Think elegent, balanced, and beautifully presented drinks that feel just as sophisticated as their surroundings. Now, I went for the espresso martini— I am truly not just saying this but hands down the best espresso martini I have EVER had. It is a silky, foamy, and perfectly balanced masterpiece. First off, the foam? Next level! Thick, velvety, and sitting perfectly on top like a little cloud of caffeinated perfection. Every sip hits that sweet spot between smooth and punchy, with all the right blends. Expect drinks such as the Maison Royale— the signature drink, seasonal specials, and classic cocktails with a Maison twist.
Maison isn’t just about the drinks—it’s about delicious food too. Expect modern European dishes with a refined twist, featuring top-quality ingredients and flawless presentation. Whether you’re here for a full dinner, a long lunch, or just some nibbles, every bite feels elevated yet effortlessly indulgent.
Whether you’re sinking into a plush booth with an espresso martini that’s silky and foamy in all the right ways, or working your way through a cocktail menu that balances creativity with pure class, this is the spot to be! It’s sophisticated without being stiff, stylish without trying too hard, and the kind of place that draws you back before you’ve even left. SO PLEASE go and try those cocktails and allow your inner Carrie Bradshaw to run wild!
