New opening: The Noble Public House is set to launch in Glasgow city centre

The Noble is set to open next month in Glasgow’s city centre early February. 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 (formally housing 63rd + 1st), 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.

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.

Open daily from 9am 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 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.

Group Bar manager, Ewan Angus, says:

“There’s a lot of complexity in so many versions of classic drinks nowadays, but The Noble’s approach will be to refine and redefine drinks in a way that is simple, elegant and timeless. 

The Rotovap will allow us to take it one step further and build amazing drinks that are aesthetically clean and simple, but that will blow you away with their punchy flavour profiles. We’re starting the menu off with a selection of signature Rotovap martinis, the simplest of drinks, and I am excited to welcome guests around the bar to taste these wonderful creations.”

The Noble offers an all-day dining experience with Director of Food, John Molloy overseeing the kitchen. The breakfast menu, served from 9-11am, includes ‘the best bacon roll in Scotland’ – a buttermilk bun with thick cut smoked bacon, bacon jam and slow cooked pork belly. John has also created ‘The Glasgow Pie’ – a chicken tikka masala filled flaky roti pie, served with a side of basmati rice, and a first of its kind honouring 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.

Director of Food, John Molloy, says:

“The Noble will offer a brand new experience to Glasgow’s bustling city centre – all the character and comfort of a classic British pub, but with a hint of elegance that’ll really set it aside. We’ve taken a playful route with the menus, which feature nostalgic snacks and elevated pub classics with a Scottish flair. I can’t wait to welcome people of Glasgow and beyond through the doors of our public house, The Noble.”

The Superlative Collection is a dynamic hospitality group dedicated to creating exceptional culinary and social experiences across a range of distinctive venues around Glasgow. The Noble Public House will be their seventh venue within the city.

The Noble is set to open early February 2025. For updates, follow The Noble and The Superlative Collection on Instagram @thenoblepublichouse and @thesuperlativecollection
