This is lovely relaxed restaurant to eat in. Good food and lovely staff. It is family orientated which we love and offers an excellent children's menu however it is also a nice place for adult get togethers. We are fairly regular diners here and definitely recommend it.

Welcome to Van Winkle, we look forward to serving you. We’ve sampled food all across the USA but our heart fell in love with the taste of classic BBQ and Grill dishes from Kentucky. Comfort food for the soul and incredible flavours.

All our food is locally sourced, using on the highest quality products and prepared fresh, in house at Van Winkle.

We are in a great location, opposite the Barrowland Ballroom. Easy access from the City Centre or the East End.

Don't forget our hidden gem, The Jack Daniels Beer Garden, a great spot to enjoy a beer or two.

We offer a sit in, takeaway and home delivery service.

We are partnered with Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats for takeaway or you can order online for collection at www.vanwinkle.co.uk

Relatively small menu with a focus on quality, the food we had was awesome. Shared a few small plates, highly recommend the wings and onion rings. Place has a great vibe, was really busy due to a sold out gig nearby however the staff were incredibly professional

Nice food and reasonably priced however, won’t rush back unless in the area. Attitude of some staff was poor which let the place down.
