Popped in for a drink with my wife, daughter and daughter in law before we attended a wedding. What a brilliant surprise. The barstaff were happy to chat, explaining the drinks of the day and providing table service. Cocktails were generous and enjoyed. Well played. Bravo 👏.

Absolutely a gem of a bar. Never had food, though the loaded fries looked insanely good. Probably the best service I’ve had in any hospitality premises, and I’ve been to many. Gordon was amazing. His chat with the customers was next level, especially with a family sitting next to me from Spain. He’s an Absolute gentleman. Even if you don’t drink or eat food, coming here and speaking with Gordon will be a joy.

One of the best pubs in Glasgow. A favourite of the East End. The barman is class, ask him the score of any champions league final after 1993 and he will give you detailed account of the game. Give it a go! Superb boozer!!

Next door to The Barrowlands for a pre/post gig drink, outdoor seating, Neck Oil on tap and the charming staff are physically and intellectually hot. Would go again.
