The ‘Top Dog’ Burger – El Perro Negro Pop-up at Bar Bloc, Glasgow

The name ‘Top Dog Burger’ certainly leaps off of the menu of El Perro Negro‘s street food pop-up at Bar Bloc. We’re immediately told that this is a great burger; but in Glasgow’s tough and competitive burger scene, that’s certainly a bold statement to make. This burger; however, is aptly-named and is, to date, the […]

11 burgers to try during the Glasgow Film Festival

The Glasgow Film Festival is almost here! The annual event is one of our favourite things to do in Glasgow (second to eating burgers, of course!) and most of the films during the festival are shown either at the Glasgow Film Theatre or Cineworld. That’s good news if you like your food as much as […]

Return Visit: Customised ‘Greedy B’ Burger – Slouch, Glasgow

Our last visit to Slouch took place only a couple of weeks ago. Normally, we wouldn’t make a return trip so soon; however, this was a rather unexpected visit after getting together with some friends and family last minute on a Friday evening. During our last review, we highlighted that our main issues with the […]

Rebel Yell Burger / Sweet Child O’Swine Burger – Slouch, Glasgow

In recent weeks, we’ve encountered a couple of really great burgers on Bath street, namely the house special burger from Moskito and the Fat Pig burger from Palomino. Since we’re coming up on our first birthday here at James vs. Burger, we’ve been feeling all nostalgic recently and decided to head back to Bath street […]

Moskito Burger / Pulled Pork Sandwich – Moskito, Glasgow

Moskito is one of those bars that we’ve walked past many times, always making a mental note to stop by for a burger review. We had actually planned to visit several times before this review, but each time something always got in the way and admittedly, we sort of just forgot about it altogether. Recently, […]

The Fat Pig Burger – Palomino, Glasgow

Palomino, formerly known as the Pony bar, is tucked away at the top of Bath street and recently had to change their name due to a dispute with another bar in the country. Sound familiar? That’s because Distill, which we reviewed last week, had to take similar action for the same reasons. As a result, […]

Blood, guts and burgers: A guide to the best burgers to try during Glasgow’s Fright Fest

Every February, as part of the illustrious Glasgow Film Festival, horror fans and movie-goers from all over the UK converge on the Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) to enjoy two full days of non-stop, back to back horror films – an event known as Fright Fest! We here at James vs. Burger are huge film fans […]

Mal Burger – Malmaison, Glasgow

Located in a former 19th century church building on West George street, the Malmaison Brasserie has often been referred to as ‘the crypt’. Located in the basement of this boutique hotel, the restaurant consists of a black and deep purple colour scheme with gothic furniture and atmospheric lighting. Certainly a very cool setting for a […]

Bandito Burger / Wise Guy Burger – Bunker, Glasgow

Bunker states that burgers are what they do best, and with a fairly large and diverse menu, that’s quite a bold statement. The bar occupies a basement spot on Glasgow’s popular Bath street and as well as a wide range of burgers, also offers a gut-busting monster-sized ‘Bunker Buster Challenge’, similar to the burger challenge […]

Butterfly and Piglet Burger / Lamb Special Burger – The Butterfly and the Pig, Glasgow

Stepping into the Butterfly and the Pig almost feels like you are going to your strange grandparent’s house for dinner. Packed full of mis-matched kitsch furniture, the bar has a very warm and homey atmosphere and seems an ideal place to sink into an armchair and relax for a few hours with a couple of […]
