Overview

The Smiddy Bar is a large traditional corner pub on Dumbarton Road in Partick, run by Belhaven, with a horseshoe-shaped bar. It is primarily a sports and drinks pub: Sky Sports and TNT Sports are shown, and it draws a mixed crowd for big football games, including Old Firm derbies. Food is simple pub fare centred on pizzas and soups, served from midday, with takeaway available. It is dog friendly, has free Wi-Fi and an order-and-pay app, and runs a Tuesday quiz. Belhaven lists the venue as over-18s only, so it is not one for children. Partick station (rail and Subway) is about 300m away, and Dumbarton Road buses stop right outside, making it an easy stop before the Riverside Museum or an OVO Hydro show.

5.0Jim Mcgrotty

Best pub in Partick, especially for football games. Kathy and her staff are fantastic and very hard working. Been drinking there on and off for more years than I care to remember and will continue to do so.

5.0Gemma Best

Best pub in Patrick by far. A very good choice of drinks available and the pizzas are a must try. Great atmosphere and staff are very attentive - Kathy and co are a credit to the pub.

5.0A. Iangrai

Banging spot for drinks, especially when there’s a match on, doesn’t matter who’s playing, the atmosphere’s always solid. Staff are sound and the drinks are fairly priced. Been my go-to pub for the past three years. Only thing I’d say is I wish there were a few more food options beyond just soup and pizza.
