The Iron Duke

The look and the menu

Inside, exposed brick, metal details and dark woodwork are warmed up with soft lighting and plush seating. The kitchen leans on Scottish produce: prime Scottish beef, fresh seafood and modern takes on traditional Scottish dishes, with a separate kids' menu and desserts. It is a smart but relaxed room that works for a long lunch, a family meal or dinner before the theatre.

What to drink

There is an extensive, handpicked wine list and locally sourced beers. The cocktail list mixes twists on the classics with a signature range inspired by episodes from the Duke of Wellington's life, which suits the name and makes a good talking point over drinks. Gift vouchers are sold through the website if you want to treat someone to a meal.

Where it fits

Royal Exchange Square sits just off Buchanan Street and Queen Street, so the Iron Duke is an easy stop during a shopping day or before a night out in the Merchant City. The Duke of Wellington statue is a few steps away, so the pub is easy to find. The Spanish Butcher and The Counting House are close by if you want to carry on.
