Overview
The Snaffle Bit is a Finnieston sports pub at 979 Sauchiehall Street — beers on tap, Sky/Premier/TNT Sports in HD, pool and darts, and a short Spice & Slice pizza menu. Glasgow Live (June 2025) covered a full refurb and reopen on 13 June after a brief closure from mid-May, pitching freshly cooked pizzas, drinks and matchday buzz. The name nods to horse racing — historic Glasgow publican John Scouller ran horse-themed pubs including this one. Hours on the site are Mon–Fri 1pm–midnight and Sat–Sun noon–midnight. Food is stonebaked pizzas from about £8.49 (margherita) to £9.49 (BBQ chicken), plus a £4 halal-certified curry naan. There is no online table booking — “Book now” links go to drinks. Regulars include free pool Mondays, Tuesday pool comps, Wednesday bingo and Thursday quiz, plus live football listings. Contact: 0141 339 7163, contact@snafflebit.co.uk.
