The Beer Café was opened in 2002.
We have owned bars in the Merchant City since 1991 when we first bought the Mitre Bar in Brunswick St. When we opened the Beer Café our idea was to let people have an environment where they could drink beer from all beer producing continents, and to allow people to indulge in their favourite holiday beer.
Since then we have developed our Beer menu to over 100 different beers, some main stream but many from the craft beer breweries from around the world.
While we love our Beer we also supply quality wines and spirits for all tastes, we are not Beer snobs and believe people should always have a choice.
So if it's craft beer or session beer, nice wine or quality spirits we cater for all.

The drive against under-age drinking again provided the drama at Glasgow Licensing Court when the magistrates withdrew the licence's of two well known city premises after police complaints.
The premises were the Stevenson Taylor (Glasgow) public house at the corner of Parliamentary Road and Buchanan Street and the Stirrup public house and restaurant at 1055-1061 Sauchiehall Street.
As regards the Stevenson Taylor premises, an application was put before the court for the transfer of the licence from Mr William Brownlee to Matthew E Taylor.
A Story to Tell about Scotland's Pubs and Bars The Mitre Bar ...
In 1615 the site of our tavern was occupied by a fine tenement that was owned by John Spottiswood (1565-1639), the then Bishop of St Andrews.
He was a strict Presbyterian and was a Royal supporter when King James VI succeeded to the throne in 1603.
He continued in royal favour under King Charles I and was made Chancellor of Scotland in 1635.
The tenement burned down in 1814 and was replaced by The Mitre Bar, a mitre being a Bishop’s headgear.
Legend has it that the Bishop’s throne is buried under what is now the bar area and some say his spirit still walks the pub.
