Overview
Machair is a Scottish pub and whisky bar on Great Western Road at Kelvinbridge, run as a local community bar with live music, televised sport and a function room for hire. It opens noon to midnight daily, according to its website. The food is hearty Scottish pub cooking. Reviewers often mention the homemade pies, fish and chips, tattie scone nachos and Cullen skink, and the bar is known for its long malt whisky list. The menu has changed over time, so some older favourites may no longer be on it. Recent reviews on TheFork and Tripadvisor praise the friendly staff and the cosy local feel. A 2019 Glasgow Times review from its early days complained about long waits for food. It is dog and child friendly and has outdoor seating for sunny days. Large groups should note that few tables seat more than five.

We ended there by coincidence. Bur we were not sorry. Food was good, we enjoyed the brunch a lot. It could be nice to be there some evening, when they have live music.

We met here before the theatre and were pleasantly surprised with the cool design and use of space, lots of seating, inside and out, cool chunky wood designs, lots of whisky, spirits and beer taps. The food menu looked good, for mains and snacks but we were just having a drink this time. Clean, accessible toilets, friendly staff, WiFi and music. Great place, we'll definitely be back 👍

I dropped in here spontaneously today as I was passing. I had the Goats cheese and beetroot salad, which was next level delicious. Very impressed. Also they pour Guinness as good as anywhere in Glasgow. Definitely coming back.

Such a fun vibe! The place was buzzing and the bartenders were super friendly. Tried a bunch of different whiskies — so good!
