Great pub. In for a pint early in the day so was quiet. Looked really good but is closing soon for refurbishment so going to be even better. Has outside seating as is a suntrap. Smashing pint. Great staff.

Went here for the first time last Friday 11th October. Such a nice pub. they had live sport on and also brilliant entertainment with a singer. The staff are very nice and made me feel very welcome. Looking forward to going again
Read on Google MapsNestled on a quiet corner of Glasgow rock is exactly what you want in a proper pub—warm, welcoming, and just a touch eccentric in the best way. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a cozy atmosphere with low lighting, dark wood accents, and a mix of vintage decor that gives the place its unique character. The staff are friendly without being overbearing—quick with a recommendation and even quicker with your pint. X
Read on Google MapsClass. First place my dad ever got a pint. Establishment of the west end. Cheap pints big tellies lovely staff. What else do you need?
Read on Google MapsGreat pub. Very well priced drinks, fantastic quiz on a Thursday and a great spot to watch live sport. Arguably the best pub in the west end to watch live sport. Fantastic staff that are knowledgeable polite and fast, especially Ewan!! Doesn’t do food atm, but the crisp selection is fantastic
