Had a brilliant time at Fayre Play this weekend. The games were fun (even if you're rubbish at them 😂). The cocktails came with fun extras like mini rubber ducks and giant lollipops and tasted good too. All of the staff were excellent, friendly and accommodating to our large group and explained everything really well. Great way to spend a few hours.

Overview
Fayre Play opened on 4 March 2023 at 124 Portman Street, Kinning Park, replacing Fore Play Crazy Golf on the same site. Co-owner Craig Neilson’s team pitched it as Scotland’s first adults-only fairground games venue: nine competitive fairground-style games, themed cocktails and street food (hot dogs, corn dogs, loaded dogs, burgers). It is a booked activity night out more than a sit-down restaurant. Hours are typically Thu 5–10pm, Fri 4–11pm, Sat 11am–midnight, Sun 11am–10pm; closed Mon–Wed. Under-18s only until 3pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday. Sister sites in Edinburgh and Newcastle. Tickets/bookings via thefayreplay.co.uk. Kinning Park subway is the nearest underground stop.

drinks on arrival, free birthday shot and the loveliest staff ever! usually when you hear carnival games you think rigged, but this was everything but! the food was so good too, fayre play did not disappoint. so much love to all the staff here that made for such a special trip and we can’t wait to be back!
Read on Google MapsWent as a group of 4. The staff were lovely. Matthew made us photogenic shots. We won 3 small ducks. Nice food, great drinks, decent toilets. Good access to public transport. One thing I didn't like was that the staff wanted us to have our 2 goes of the games at once rather than us playing 1 round of each game then coming back for another round.
Read on Google MapsHad an amazing time at Fare Play Glasgow! The venue was top-notch, but what really made it special was Connor—super friendly, full of energy, and genuinely fun to be around. He made everyone feel welcome and kept the vibe upbeat the whole time!
Read on Google MapsTeam night out started in Fayre Play. Had a great time. Staff were lovely, very helpful. Drinks are decently priced and we weren’t rushed around the stalls. Late afternoon seems to be the quieter time to come and take your time moving round. Absolutely will book again. What a laugh!
