Date spot in Glasgow

Inn Deep and the Kelvin Walkway

Walk the River Kelvin up through Kelvingrove Park to Kelvinbridge, then settle in at Inn Deep, a craft beer bar in the arches under the bridge, with tables by the water.

Great Western Road, Kelvinbridge, West End

Address: 445 Great Western Road, Glasgow G12 8HH

Why it's a good date: Inn Deep gives the dogs that drink there their own page on its website, and the walkway is park path, so dogs are fine on a short lead or close at heel. The riverside tables are the ones to get.

    Why it's a good date: Glasgow's parks welcome dogs on a short lead or kept close at heel, so it's an easy one to bring them on. Go on a clear evening: on a good day you can pick out the University tower and the hills beyond.
