Corinthian Club is a restaurant, bar in Glasgow. The building has some of the “finest Grade A listed Victorian interiors” but it’s very big and it’s nice and spacious inside, which makes getting around in a wheelchair easier.

The Art Deco Brasserie Zedel and its Crazy Coqs Cabaret in Piccadilly is a must for an all-encompassing night out with a restaurant, bar and cabaret all under one roof. All accessible via a lift and portable ramps. It’s part of the Rex group who also own The Delaunay & The Wolesley. I went with The Musical…
