WEST on the Green

Share a pint brewed on site at WEST, in the old Templeton carpet factory on Glasgow Green, a red-brick building made to look like a Venetian palace.

Templeton Building, Glasgow Green, East End

15 Binnie Place, Glasgow G40 1AW

Why it's a good date: WEST says its beer hall and beer garden are both dog friendly, right up to closing time, so nobody has to wait outside. Walk the dog round Glasgow Green first, then take a garden table if it's dry or a seat in the beer hall if it isn't.

  • Drygate's brewery buildings and sign behind trees, with tall silver tanks rising behind

    Drygate Brewery

    Drygate, below the Necropolis, East End

    85 Drygate, Glasgow G4 0UT

    Try beers brewed on the premises at Drygate, a converted factory at the foot of the Necropolis, with a kitchen inside and the Yard and the Terrace outside.

    Why it's a good date: Drygate says dogs are welcome inside and out, and there's a dog menu. Pair it with the Necropolis next door: climb up for the view, then come down for dinner and a pint.

    Saint Luke's and the Winged Ox

    Bain Street, by the Barras, East End

    17 Bain Street, Glasgow G40 2JZ

    Eat and drink at the Winged Ox, the bar inside Saint Luke's, a converted church by the Barras that also puts on gigs.

    Why it's a good date: Saint Luke's invites you to bring your four-legged friends to the Winged Ox, and shares a dog of the day. It's the bar that's dog friendly, so ask before taking a dog to a gig. Make a day of it with a rummage at the Barras round the corner.

  • Speirs Wharf's sandstone warehouses and boats reflected in the still canal on a sunny day

    A walk along the Forth and Clyde Canal

    Speirs Wharf, Port Dundas, to Maryhill

    Speirs Wharf, Port Dundas, Glasgow G4 9TG

    Follow the towpath from the old grain mills at Speirs Wharf out through north Glasgow to the flight of locks and the Kelvin Aqueduct at Maryhill.

    Why it's a good date: Scottish Canals welcomes dogs on the towpath as long as they're under control and you clean up after them. Bikes share the path, so a short lead helps. It's flat, quiet and greener than you'd expect, with narrowboats at the start and wide views from the locks.
