Overview

Maggie’s Rock ’n’ Rodeo is the Nashville-styled reboot of long-running Trongate late bar Maggie May’s. Owner Oli Norman put about £500,000 into a country makeover in September 2023: mechanical bull pit upstairs, Hoedown basement for ceilidhs and line dancing, smokehouse plates, and last orders energy until 3am. The food side is Southern comfort — slow-smoked brisket, JD pulled pork, burnt ends, ribs, stacked burgers, mac, loaded tots — with clear vegan and gluten-free tags on the menu. Mains sit roughly £15–22; the BBQ Beast sharing platter is £75; Sunday roast smokehouse for two is £52.50. It’s built for groups, hens, stags and big nights more than quiet dinners. Live rock and country, big-screen sport, and ticketed Hoedown events (Cowboy Ceilidh, stripshows) sit alongside walk-in bull-pit tables. In 2024 it took Venue of the Year at the On Trade Scotland awards.

Had this on my list for a while now, finally got around to it - fantastic flavour of the chicken grill! Smokey, authentic, really delicious food served quickly and with lovely service. The only gripe honestly was the price compared to the portion. For £18 it was a fairly meagre portion of food overall, now perhaps its just because its North American style and flavour maybe my brain expected more on the plate? Funnily, the portion was great for me because I prefer the smaller plate! Otherwise 10/10

Booked as we were attending C2C in the city and what a brilliant pre concert venue. Atmosphere was superb and outdoor seating in the sun with cold beers was perfect. Food and service was excellent, the food portions are big and delicious. The cocktails were great and service was quick even when busy. Colleagues always helpful and had a smile. Highly recommended if you are in the city.

It was SO busy and warm and the staff were doing their best bless them but it was a long wait for drinks becsuse the bar was just rammed with people - would love to go back and have a proper Maggie's day! We just stayed for a few drinks. The food looked DELICIOUS but we didnt stop for any this time. Next time for sure!

We decided to pop in here for a quick lunch and it was super busy around 1pm. It was also super loud, so we couldn’t hear the server and we weren’t handed a menu once we sat down (took about 5 minutes). Once we got our food, it was really good, but very large and I had to get a take home box which isn’t a bad thing :)) Overall, wasn’t a bad place to be at! It’s just loud and busy on a Saturday

Great fun, lots of dancing, fantastic hosts and delicious food too. A group of us went from Cheshire and it was well worth the journey.
