Alston Street was a bustling thoroughfare that connected Argyle Street with Gordon Street until the mid-1870s when all the buildings were demolished to make way for the first phase of Central Station. It ran north to south through Grahamston, an important location for Glasgow’s growing international trade, providing premises for processing and storing goods for despatch to countries around the world. There were several large warehouses and a sugar refinery, surrounded by carters’ yards, tenement dwellings and villas. The ‘first theatre in Glasgow’ opened in Alston Street in 1764. In fact it was not located in Glasgow but in Grahamston, just a few yards outside the city boundary, because the city and church elders would not allow the ‘house of the devil’ to be opened within the city. Alston Bar & Beef is located just under the north end of the original Alston Street and we hope that customers will take an interest in the story of Grahamston, Glasgow’s forgotten village.

Alston Street was a bustling thoroughfare that connected Argyle Street with Gordon Street until the mid-1870s when all the buildings were demolished to make way for the first phase
of Central Station.
It ran north to south through Grahamston, an important location for Glasgow’s growing international trade, providing premises for processing and storing goods for despatch to countries around the world. There were several large warehouses and a sugar refinery, surrounded by carters’ yards,
tenement dwellings and villas.
The ‘first theatre in Glasgow’ opened in Alston Street in 1764. In fact it was not located in Glasgow but in Grahamston, just a few yards outside the city boundary, because the city and church elders would not allow the ‘house of the devil’ to be
opened within the city.
Alston Bar & Beef is located just under the north end of the original Alston Street and we hope that customers will take an interest in the story of Grahamston, Glasgow’s
forgotten village.

DRINKS LIST
Gin has a long, complex and troublesome history and has graced the lips of millions of people from all walks of life throughout the
centuries in every context imaginable.
From its earliest foundations as a medicine, gin was also the secret to ‘Dutch Courage’ throughout the infamous ‘thirty years war’… in the mid-eighteenth century, it became known as mother’s ruin, where widespread home production wreaked havoc on the
streets of London.
Gin has evolved and is now regarded as a sophisticated and diverse spirit that can be enjoyed in a cocktail and is commonly mixed
with tonic, the G&T.
Alston Bar & Beef, is celebrating this incredible spirit by sourcing a selection of gins from Scotland, England, continental Europe and the United States. Each of our gins is uniquely garnished and served to perfection, along with a collection of signature and classic cocktails.
All measures of spirit are in multiples of 25ml
