Mulberry Street - Strathbungo
Mulberry Street has been situated on the corner of Pollokshaws Road and Regent Park Square in Strathbungo, since 2006. It's a busy wee family run bar and restaurant and is a popular socialising point for Southsiders especially the Strathbungo residents.
The Mulberry is split in two with the light airy bar on one side and on the other side a more intimate bistro area. The bar is a great space for chilling out on a Sunday afternoon or for some sociable drinks on a Friday night. It does get busy on the weekends and it can get quite difficult to get a seat. However they've recently been given permision for a south facing outdoor seating area. It is a great place to sit with a coffee or a glass of wine and people watch. The outdoor area closes at 9pm but by that time it's normally getting a bit chilly and you want to get inside anyway (top tip: move inside 5mins before everyone else that way you get a seat inside)

The menu in the bistro area can be described as up market pub food - Fillet of sea bass, Pork loin steak, Thai green curry, mussels and fajitas. We've been several times as their steak is a favourite of Alburt's dads. The food has been consistently good and service always friendly and polite. My only critism is that they could maybe do with adding a couple more vegitarian options to their menu. It's a busy wee place so make sure you book on a Friday and Saturday night.
They also have a quiz night on Monday night, it has been running for six years - I ve heard it's quite challenging so maybe it's for the more experienced quiz team.

Mulberry Street is a great place to have on your doorstep - just remember to book a table if you are going on a Friday or Saturday.

I remember before Mulberry opened the Taverna used to be on that corner. This was pre-smoking ban and the left side of the Taverna was quite possibly the smokiest place in the world outside of a salmon smoking facility.
After spending an hour inside your eyes would be watering like you'd been the viction of a teargas attack and every time someone opened or closed the door little smoke signals would be released into the sky.
Much, much, much prefer the Mulberry and so do my lungs.
Had the most fantastic meal at Mulberry St at the start of the week. I wholeheartedly recommend the chicken breast stuffed with black pudding and wrapped in bacon. It comes with a lovely whisky sort of sauce and the most gorgeous dauphinoise potatoes I think I've ever had. She spoke very highly of her steak and it was definitely cooked perfectly. This place is far too close to us - we're gonna end up spending all our money in here, I can tell!
Can't believe no-one has mentioned their great (if small) line up of real ales. Usually have Bitter and Twisted on, plus a Fyne ale or two and perhaps a guest. Great place for a good pint.
