The Noble is set to open in Glasgow’s city centre on 19 of February at 8am with booking lines now open. The new public house is the latest venture by Glasgow-based The Superlative Collection – Scotland’s fastest growing independent hospitality group.
Situated at 16 Bothwell Street, The Noble will re-imagine the classic British pub, taking an elevated yet unpretentious approach to hospitality.
The new venue will fall under The Superlative Collection group, which includes other Glasgow favourites: Glaschu, Maison by Glaschu, Gōst, The Duke’s Umbrella, The Clubhouse and Blue Dog.
Here’s five reasons you must visit.
- Perfect for commuters, local businesses and tourists
The 100-cover venue will seamlessly blend the comfort of a classic pub with the refinement of a premium bar, to create a venue which appeals to both locals and visitors alike. Located opposite Glasgow Central Station, the inventive menu, exceptional wine and cocktail list, and live music at The Noble makes it the perfect sanctuary for commuters to enjoy a business meeting, all-day dining or post-work drinks.
A 85-inch screen will display a live train timetable with delay updates, to ensure that visitors to The Noble will never miss their train, maximising leisure time.
2. Premium drinks offering and nostalgic snacks
Open daily from 8am until late, The Noble will offer a unique pub experience unlike anything the city has to offer. The bar will be headed up by Group Bar Manager, Ewan Angus, who has created a menu of signature martinis, to sit alongside a curated list of beers, wines and classic cocktails.
Their speciality martini list includes: hot honey martini; passionfruit martini; and tomato martini, which are made using innovative Rotovap infusions to preserve the delicate flavours of the fresh ingredients used in their creation. The Noble will be the only bar in Glasgow making cocktails with this infusion technology, making it a must try bar for all cocktail-lovers visiting the city.
The bar will offer an array of drinks available on tap, including Cruzcampo, Moretti, Guinness and Neck Oil, as well as non-alcoholic options from Heineken 0% and local brewery, Jump Ship. An expansive whisky list includes over 30 single malts, blends and bourbons and The Noble will also showcase three signature cocktails in partnership with The Macallan, featuring their 12-year, 15-year and 18-year old liquids.
A menu of playful and nostalgic bar snacks has been designed to sit alongside their drinks, which include: prawn tempura with lobster aioli; square sausage roll with brown sauce; mussel popcorn with malt vinegar powder; and Arbroath Smokie omelette.
3. The Best Bacon Roll in Scotland
The breakfast menu will be served daily from 8am-12pm, and includes ‘The Best Bacon Roll in Scotland’. The breakfast roll will include a buttered milk bun with thick cut smoked bacon, bacon jam and slow cooked pork belly.
Other breakfast options include: passion fruit and mango granola; a full Scottish breakfast; Arbroath Smokie omelette; and a selection of eggs bennies. With an order of any breakfast item, diners at The Noble will receive unlimited filter coffee for just £1.
4. The Glasgow Pie
John Molloy has created ‘The Glasgow Pie’ – a nod to a much-loved dish which originates from Glasgow. The Glasgow Pie will be made of a flaky roti pastry and filled with chicken tikka masala, served with a side of basmati rice. This is a first of its kind for Glasgow, and was created for The Noble to honour one of the city’s favourite dishes.
The menus at The Noble are heavily inspired by British pub classics, with local Scottish produce at their core. Other main menu favourites include: venison hotdog, brioche bun, truffle mayo and crispy onion; The Noble Ploughman’s Grilled Cheese; and beef whisky and haggis bangers, mash and onion gravy.
5. Stylish Interiors
The Noble reimagines the classic public house, drawing inspiration from the historic Noble House – a docklands tavern where everyone, from dockers to dukes, was welcome. The space is designed to feel both familiar and elevated, honouring its roots but from a fresh perspective.
The interiors strike a balance between warm and sophistication – using a palette of deep burgundy, warm golds and soft neutrals to create a cosy yet refined atmosphere. To add depth and character, The Noble boasts layered textures throughout the space: exposed brick, brass detailing, velvet furnishings, Victorian tiles, heritage paint tones and floral wallpapers. Darkened ceiling elements and thoughtfully divided areas help to create intimate corners that invite conversation and connection.
All of the artwork on display at The Noble was created in-house by Rough Design, and plays a central role in shaping the pub’s personality, adding charm and individuality to the space.
The Noble will open its doors on the 19 February 2025 at 8am. Bookings can be made online at www.thenoble.uk.
