Best areas for a good night out in Glasgow are the West End, which is in the vicinity of the University of Glasgow. Ashton Lane link is an attractive cobbled street, which is full of bars, pubs and restaurants. My favourite place to get a curry is Ashoka which is one of the most popular Indian restuarants. Merchant City link is the place to find all the trendy bars.
