Vegan and gluten-free dinner
Dedicated vegan and gluten-free menus run every day, alongside the evening menu. Please tell your server about dietary requirements and allergies before you order, as some dishes need adapting, and a vegan dish is not automatically gluten-free. We take every precaution, but we cannot guarantee any dish is completely free of trace allergens.

Dinner, then the music
Glasgow selectors and guests play vinyl every Friday and Saturday from 9pm, with monthly residencies through the week. Entry to the regular selector nights is free, so eat first and stay on for the records. A dinner booking is a table to eat at; it does not reserve a spot by the decks. See what's on for who is playing.
Kids, dogs and groups
Children are welcome to dine until 10pm, accompanied by an adult and ordering a meal. There is a kids' menu (£5 to £8) and high chairs. Dogs are welcome, and always have been. Book online for up to eight guests. For nine or more, or to arrange a private space, email contact@theleftbank.co.uk or call 0141 339 5969.
