Closing for Refurbishment

The Drum and Monkey will be closing for a lovely refurbishment on Monday 20th February. We'll be open again from Saturday 25th February to serve you a great selection of cask ales, wine, and a tasty range of pub classics and dining room favourites.

Welcome to The Drum and Monkey

You will find The Drum and Monkey in Vincent Street Glasgow within a short stroll of George Square, Central Station and Queen Street Station - however you won't find another like it.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

A fascinating past

A former a bank building, The Drum and Monkey retains an air of grandeur. Built in 1924 by the eminent architect Andrew Balfour, the style has been compared to classical American architecture of the time. St. Vincent Street, on which we sit, marks the British sea victory over the French off the coast of Spain in 1797.

One of a kind

The Drum and Monkey is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of great British pubs, reputed for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.

Famous for occupying an American-style bank built in 1924
