Merchant Glasgow

Somewhat understaffed, tables left uncleared, bar service slow even when quiet. Food took over half an hour, even though it was quiet. When the food arrived it was a bit average, overcooked, not worth the price. That being said, it’s a nice atmosphere. Not a bad place for a drink, but I’d eat somewhere else next time.

Eli(sorry if I got that wrong!) who was on table service was an absolute joy credit to the company! She was polite and went out her way to make sure we got our table that was booked and made sure we were ok. This didn't go unnoticed by all of our table including one visitor from Liverpool, she was amazing! As someone who regularly comes to The Merchant all the staff have been amazing 🥰 we even celebrated getting engaged with family last year here.

My new go to place for sports in the city centre of Glasgow. I’m glad I don’t live here anymore otherwise I would be here daily! lol 😂 Bar girls and lads are so so sweet and lovely. They even put the sound on the Villa match (we lost) 😞 Love this place. Heaps.

The Merchant Bar in Glasgow is a solid shout if you're out with friends and looking for a casual place to catch the game. Plenty of screens mean you won’t miss a minute, whether it’s the big match or just background noise to your banter. The atmosphere is laid-back and the staff are friendly enough to make you feel welcome without hovering. Drinks-wise, you’re well covered — decent selection of beers, and the prices don’t make you wince too hard. It’s a good spot to settle in for a few rounds with the lads (or lasses). Now, onto the food. The sharing menu is alright — nothing revolutionary, but it’ll soak up the pints. However, I have beef with the steak. Tougher than a Monday morning and chewier than your mate’s bad opinions. The steak pie, sadly, brought back memories of a Pukka pie while at home watching the football — only this one cost more and inspired fewer cheers. All in all, great place for drinks and sports. Just maybe grab a bite somewhere else if you’ve got high hopes for the food.

Went in for lunch with work colleagues. Nice choice on the menu (even for a veggie like me) great service and very reasonable prices. There was a special lunchtime deal which was also a good option. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as we were in quite early before tables had filled up. Good waiter service and a great choice of drinks. My furry burger was excellent 👍
