Cocktails and a meal glasgow

It's a few years since i lived in Glasgow, but i used to like the Universal. It's not specifically american, but they do good burgers (and awesome nachos). Reasonably priced, and they do cocktails as well.
What's cheap?
Cocktails, go to Hummingbird on Bath Street. Good cocktails, nice bar (though can be busy at weekends) and not a bad price. I'm pretty sure it also does food upstairs, though to me it is a bar and club rather than a restaurant. If you want the best cocktails in the city, go to The Blue Dog. However, they are around £8 a drink. Not too bad, but it's expensive for Glasgow.
American type cuisine. Got me a bit stumped there. You after burgers/ribs that sort of thing? Or steak? It's a bit hard giving you suggestions without knowing your definition of cheap and what you're after really.
Lucky 7 Canteen may be worth a look, and then you're on the best bar street in Glasgow for drinks afterwards. Food is dirt cheap, drinks are reasonable and it's good fun. Restaurant one side, and then a busy but cool bar the other.
I've heard good things about Ad Lib, though haven't eaten there myself.
Ketchup on Ashton Lane is pretty good, but I think it's more of a lunch place than somewhere for dinner but I prefer nice sit down restaurants. After that you'll be on Ashton Lane which is really cool and full of bars with quite a good buzz at night.
If you're wanting steak, and willing to up the budget then The Butchershop Bar & Grill is the best in Glasgow. The meat is amazing, as are the cocktails. However, me and my mother spent around £150 last time we were there but we both like a drink.

This would probably fulfill both criteria, but its mighty 'spensive.
Hummingbird is a good shout, so is revolution, iv taken a few lucky ladies there in the past.
Ketchup is awesome if you want to go west, but i think you'd be better staying city center.
