About Lunar Wine & Cocktail Bar
Lunar Wine & Cocktail Bar is a cocktail bar at 72 Nithsdale Rd in Glasgow, pouring natural wines alongside a cocktail list that includes creative and savoury drinks. The pickleback options rotate, which gives regulars a different pairing to try. Classics such as a martini are also on the menu for those who prefer a familiar order. The room is a small bar with tables set close together, and the team makes drink suggestions to help guests choose from the list.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the creative cocktails, with the rotating pickleback shots a repeat draw and Living On A Pear, Nectar of the Gods and Tunnock vision named as favourites. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing, with one reviewer noting they handled allergies well. Several also praise a savoury drink on offer and a hot cocktail served in a small ceramic pot, and a few mention that dogs are welcome and that there is outside seating. The relaxed atmosphere gets repeated praise, though one reviewer disliked tables packed into the bar. The recurring complaints are few but specific. One reviewer found two cocktails very sweet and one-dimensional for the price, and another said a red wine tasted like dish water and that the bartender refused to swap it, which left the customer's party feeling brushed off. One reviewer who tried seven different cocktails with friends found each one lovely.

“My daughter paid £9 for a red wine which tasted like dish water. She politely asked the boy behind the bar if he wouldn't mind changing it. He rudely shook his head and said no and then proceeded to gossip about her with the other staff members. Rude, immature behaviour from incompetent staff. Needless to say she won't be back. Wouldn't recommend this place for the lack of customer service alone.”
- Laurie Stevenson
“I had been following this bar for a while on Instagram so when I came home was able to go visit. Lots of variety of flavours, great suggestions from the staff, between us I think we tried 7 different cocktails and each one was lovely though I have my favourite! I'll definitely return so that sums it up for me really 🙌🏻”

“I found the two cocktails I tried incredibly sweet and one-dimensional, especially for the price. I also didn’t enjoy the ambiance, with tables packed into the bar. The servers were nice and I can’t really fault them, but as someone who loves a good cocktail and has had many in Glasgow and Edinburgh, this is a hard pass for me.”

“Cute cocktail bar with outside seating. The cocktails are very delicious and super creative. My favourite one was the Nectar of the Gods & Tunnock vision The two guys behind the bar were also super friendly, will definitely come back next time we are in Glasgow!”

“First time having a HOT cocktail! Served in a little ceramic pot. These were DELICIOUS. Lovely little bar, great atmosphere and fairly busy but not jam-packed or intense. Great service. I'm going again!”
