Micro brewery, bar with food and a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Very pleasant staff and excellent service. Good selections of snacks, pizzas, side dishes and sweets. As the menu is changing next week, the menu items are somewhat reduced but tasty nevertheless. Closes at 10pm Monday to Wednesday when it is quieter but opens later on other nights. I was there Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Thursday evening was very much busier. Good atmosphere, recommended.

Overview
Clockwork is a large Mount Florida pub and restaurant on Cathcart Road, a short walk from Hampden Park. It opened in 1997 as the Clockwork Beer Company and built a reputation for craft and cask beer; on-site brewing stopped after a 2020 refurb. Since December 2024 it has been owned by the Murphy family behind city-centre whisky bar The Pot Still — siblings Frank, Kate and Geraldine, who all worked here in earlier years. Food is a bigger focus under the new owners. Chef John Keenan (formerly of 55 Bearsden Cross) launched a refreshed menu in 2025: brunch daily until 4pm, full menu noon–9pm, with Sunday roast, pie of the moment, Clock Mac, butter chicken curry, bacon chop and a vegan beetroot wellington among the standouts. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are on the board, and there is a kids menu. Expect a busy sports-bar feel — multiple screens, Sky boxes — and a large covered beer garden at the back. Book ahead for the restaurant when you can; on Hampden match and gig days it is walk-in only, with a reduced food menu and drinks in plastic. The beer garden is walk-in only year-round. An upstairs function room can be hired (about £100). Children under 18 must leave by 8pm; dogs are welcome on a lead. Own car park, step-free access and blue-badge parking. Mount Florida rail station is about 400m away; First buses 5, 31, 34A and 90 stop nearby.
