The Boathouse Glasgow
Our Story
Nestled on the banks of Rouken Glen Park's peaceful waters, The Boathouse offers a warm escape from the everyday. We're more than just a cafe – we're a gathering place where locals meet, friends reconnect, and new memories are made.
From early morning coffee and leisurely brunches to light lunches and seasonal treats, every visit is designed to feel effortless. Our menus celebrate fresh ingredients with a nod to both comfort and creativity.
Whether you're here for a quick bite after a walk, a long lunch, or coffee as the sun sets over the water, we've created a space that welcomes everyone – including your four-legged friends.
