The Ark : A great bar for students

The Ark

About The Ark:

The Ark is a bar located on North Fedrick street and what makes the Ark a popular spot is what it offers which benefits students and more. The Ark hosts wings Wednesdays where people can get a wing for 40p, and hosts champions league as well as Europa League games. Customers can also enjoy a game of pool or socialise in the outside garden area.

Pros:

Shows live sports

Located close to university and also in the city centre


Has food deals such as Wings Wednesdays

Has a outside area

Has pool games 

Can order directly off the crafted social app in order for the food/drink to be brought to you

The venue is unique and hosts an upstairs area as well as an exceptional outside seating area

Drawbacks:

Food can be slightly pricey and so can the drinks

Can get really busy at times and sometimes may be hard to find a place to sit (usually at peak times during football games)

Overall opinion:

If your looking for a place to watch football, socialise with friends and enjoy food and drink then the ark is defiantly a place to consider coming to. The games are shown on a variety of TV and projector screens, the venue is nice with different seating locations depending on what vibe and comfort you are looking for. An area I really enjoy is the outside garden, especially when the weather is good it can be a great place to socialise with friends and enjoy food and drink whilst getting some fresh air. Only drawbacks I can think of is sometimes different food items can be a bit on the expensive side and the pints itself also tend to be more pricey than some other bars around Glasgow.

Average cost of pint : £5+ (Amstel, Peroni, Moretti)


Rating 7.5/10

Akbars: An Indian restaurant

Image
  Akbars   About Akbars Akbars is a restaurant located in on Sauchiehall street near Charing cross. It specialises in south Indian dishes with a range of classic curries. From the inside the restaurant looks modern and was surprisingly large in size. It has expanded in growth overtime starting with a 28 seater restaurant in Bradford to now having over 10 restaurants located across the UK with over 300 staff and 60 chiefs. It has attracted the likes of many celebrities and famous people such as Amir Khan and Boris Johnson. The restaurant looks clean and modern and I believe it’s a great place to enjoy a meal.   What Akbars offers Akbars offers a variety of different Indian dishes including starters, Baltis, and chief specialities such as Jalfrezi and Lamb Shank. The prices range from person to person but on average a single person can expect to spend anywhere around 15-25 which I believe is reasonable when taking into consideration the quality of food, the amount of food and

  Wunderbar Glasgow Wunderbar is another busy and vibrant bar located in the heart of the city, which is open 7 days a week from 12pm to 3am. Located on 28 Springfield Ct it is a ideal location for anyone who is out in the city centre and wants a fun time, in a bustling atmosphere. The clinking of glasses, laughter, and music merge to create an unforgettable experience… What to expect When entering the venue you have a choice to either go up or downstairs. The upstairs offers live music performance and also has a bar and seating for drinks. Personally, what I like about the upstairs is the outside area where you can catch some fresh air and relax with friends in the seating that is provided. It is a great place to gather thoughts and sit back and relax with friends whilst having a nice refreshing drink. Onto the downstairs you will find the ballroom, this is also where live music is played and the DJs that play are shown on there website or on their Instagram where people can vie
