Smashing spot for a pint after work, very relaxed vibe with plenty tables inside and out. Sadly around £5 for a pint so not the cheapest spot for a date, but well worth it for the great customer service and excellent decor. Overall good place to meet with friends, chill out and have a nice laugh. Also if you want to chain smoke cigarettes the place is a sun trap in the summer. Slightly off the beaten track but always busy, so be in quick or you won’t get a table!!

Reviews
Generally loving it as there is ample outside seating but there is always at least one of the bar staff who just ignores customers and rather talks to a friend, showing them they newest experimental video as just happened. Sadly, I'm not that Hollywood producer, so get ignored till the more responsible staff serves me. Having said that, I'll be back either way.
Read on Google MapsA great local place. Good service, good folks. Do make sure to be there for the open mic night on Tuesdays.
Read on Google MapsQuirky place with a really good vibe. Eclectic place. Very good choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Several Cocktails and plenty of various spirits. Toasties seem to be popular on the menu. Nice leaf tea served. Good toilet facilities which are maintained and kept tidy. Lovely staff members. Very helpful, kind and accommodating. Will be back. Thank you
Read on Google MapsFirst time in Dukes. Been swallowed up by the Uber cool district that is Finnieston. Was here for the start of a 50th. Cool bar, nice staff, Caesar Augustus on Draught. Excellent.
