Mono, Glasgow

About us

Over our first decade, we developed a reputation for good beer, good vegan food, good gigs and good times. We are proud of our achievements but we aim to make our second decade even better.

Mono is a vegan café bar situated in Glasgow’s Merchant City. Our aim is to provide a welcoming environment, quality food & drink and an exciting range of live entertainment, all couched in an ethical & community based context.

We share our roof with Monorail Music, which lends a sense of community: they provide an eclectic soundtrack to our days and you can buy the music right here if you like it.

Mono has hosted not only some of the most exciting bands around, both local and international, but also exhibitions, book readings, art performances and workshops. Hopefully, something will catch your eye on our events page & we’ll see you soon!.

Made a beeline here for the tofish and chips for lunch and were not disappointed. Love a fully vegan restaurant and inclusive space. Really friendly staff, great venue. There are books to read, art exhibitions on the walls, a record shop and live music in the evening. Food was great (we ordered a pizza to takeaway and stash in the hotel for post gig munchies). The music was fun, although apart from the parents of those playing we were the oldest there (my partner is 35, I'm 46). Was like being at a student night again but way less messy than years before, didn't feel like anyone apart from the parents were drinking. This suited me fine and my partner had a few pints of the local brew. Buy tickets for gigs in advance as a little more on the door (bit annoying we weren't told this as did ask if it was worth buying in advance). And needed cash so had to take a short walk to withdraw. Dazed & Confused were the absolute highlight of the night, would definitely see them again Will hopefully be back to sample more of the menu as making another trip to Glasgow in a few weeks

Have not been here for a long time so decided to swing by for a quick snack and pint, good vegan options and reasonable selection of beverages, although they were out of couple of items from the menu but not a big deal. Staff seemed that they could not be bothered at all (well, one of those Sundays) so instead of checking on us after solid long wait we have resorted to pay at the bar and off we were. I wish I could give 4 stars but attentive staff is bread and butter of every good pub/bar/restaurant and that is exactly what is lagging behind at Mono.

Burger and haggis burger were the best I've had in a while. Large place with ample space, OK vibes and service. Cute record shop inside. Only complaint would be the homemade fries, tasty but not so crispy and quite dense. 10/10 recommend, would come again!

Incredible vibe, super friendly service and my god the food! I can't wait to visit again next time I'm down their way! The record shop within is also a huge bonus, difficult to keep your money when they have such well priced vinyls.

Super nice place to sit and eat something nice with a cold beer and relax, the atmosphere was perfect, there’s a record shop inside and a small gallery ☺️
