Bobar

• Restaurants

The spirits gallery is more than a match for the bartenders' skills but, if you simply fancy a bottle of quality imported beer, you'll not go thirsty either. Things get pretty lively at the weekend with their resident DJ's taking to the wheels-of-steel playing funk and hip hop on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you're making a full evening of it, BoBar is ideal for pre-dinner cocktails before coming next door to Bo'Vine restaurant. What's in a name? Byres Road; this is where cows were milked for the Glasgow Market. Bó; that's Gaelic for Cow. Beau; we borrowed that from the French and it is pronounced "Bo" meaning beautiful or handsome. Vine French "Élaboration du vin viné"; that's the preparation of fortified wine and, of course, a type of climbing plant on which grapes grow. Bovine, a noun, is an animal of the cattle group which also includes buffaloes and bisons. So, Bo'Vine; a delightful new restaurant for meats, wines and good friends. Enjoy your meal!
