To be honest ' much better than expected ' - we were attending the Peter Kay Show at the OVO and Clydebuilt was just over the piazza / square - open plan restaurant with a sense of industria legacy / very airy, simple menu - we had Highlander Burgers - well presented - price in line with similar restaurants in town so no obvious premium for exhibition/ concert location. Would recommend.

Clydebuilt Bar & Kitchen is located at the heart of the SEC Centre at Queens Dock. The SEC describes it as having "industrial-chic interiors, all-day menu, and a well-stocked bar", and says it suits everything from pre-gig dining, private gatherings and morning coffees to post-event socials. The menu "celebrates Scottish produce" with vegetarian, plant-based and non-gluten options, and each dish is rated from A to E for its carbon impact. The event menu includes cauliflower pakora, Bengali curry, the Clydebuilt Bun, hake and chips, rigatoni, and pizzas made from hand-stretched, 36-hour slow-proved dough. On evenings with live events at the OVO Hydro or SEC Armadillo, food is served 16:00-19:30 and the bar closes at 20:00. Walk-ins are available in the Bar for every event on a first come, first served basis. The Kitchen area, at the opposite end from the bar, offers a more intimate setting and can only be pre-booked during selected events. The venue is cashless, accepting contactless or card payments only, and there is a 4-drink limit per person, per ID, per transaction.
Reviews
We were able to go in 30 minutes earlier than our reservation. Waitress was lovely. I had the chicken caesar salad, it was huge. Lovely. My friend the fish and chips, loved it. The sticky toffee pudding was enormous. I had the apple crumble and ice cream. The crumble was lovely and crunchy. All the staff were very nice. Was great to relax and not rush our meal before show at armadillo.....馃構馃槏
Read on Google MapsSpilt a drink and no one came to help. Staff seem generally pissed off. Coffee wasnt very nice and no sugar or anything available anywere. The tables and floor are not very clean either.
Read on Google MapsI was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Usually bars/restaurants near event venues are overpriced and not great quality, but when we were at the SEC Armadillo for an event, we had a look at the menu here and thought it looked really good. The ordering process is fast and simple, and the food came out reasonably quickly. I had fish and chips and it was very tasty, and well cooked & presented. I would definitely eat here again, and have already agreed with my wife that we鈥檒l eat here next time we鈥檙e at an event in the area.
Read on Google MapsHorrible day I was wanting a quick bite to eat and I got terrible looks from staff I also was trying to order a drink but got told there was no kegs only overpriced bars juice , I ordered a burger with lettuce and cheese and got charged extra for the cheese on top of the overpriced burger I couldn鈥檛 find a seat beacuse of all the g4s security sat with bottled water and chatting the manager was very rude I asked for a napkin and was told go to the red thing and was disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the tables, all sticky and food on the seats and floor , I went to take a seat up at the end of the restaurant, the waitress told me I had to move because apparently it was fully booked however there was 12 tables empty. Once I managed to find my manky table I saw the staff looking at me and giggling, when I was leaving I saw the chefs smoking cigarettes with no jackets so I can only wonder about the hygiene in that place. Won鈥檛 be going back. Got my wife to take a foto of me at the manky tables.
