Overview

The Ferry is a floating entertainment venue moored at 25 Anderston Quay, better known for tribute nights and private hire than for everyday à la carte dining. Dinner-and-show packages are the usual format: a reserved table for the evening, dancing, and tribute acts covering Abba, Bowie, Rod Stewart and decades compilations from the 60s through the 90s. Evening events are 18+. A dinner reservation holds a table for the night (exact location is not guaranteed); show-only tickets are standing unless seating is stated. During dinner service drinks go on one bill — individual bar tabs are not allowed — and alcohol brought in from outside is not permitted. The venue has been running Christmas party nights and a Hogmanay ceilidh since the late 1980s, and it also hosts weddings, corporate events and private hire. It is a Real Living Wage employer. Box office is 01698 360085 (weekdays 9am–5pm).

Saw Roxy Magic at The Ferry on 26th July 2025, they were excellent. We also had a two course meal with wine which was very nice. All of the staff were really very attentive and knowledgeable especially our waiter Ian who went above and beyond and because of that we had a brilliant night and will be back.

Out for a family birthday. Meal and tribute band. Menu was good, food was delicious and plentiful, Michelle was serving us, she was polite,very friendly and couldn’t do enough for our table. Tribute Project Floyd was good. The Ferry was clean and bright while having dinner, we went downstairs when band came on. It was cosy and clean downstairs with a smaller bar. Toilets were big and very clean. Highly recommend this place, good food n drink, friendly staff.

I celebrated my birthday at The Ferry with a Blondie tribute night in September and it was a brilliant experience. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for a family night out. The band nailed the vibe, great energy and spot-on vocals! Food was surprisingly good for a live music venue! fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. Service was smooth and super quick, we didn't wait long to be served. We’re seriously considering getting the Gold Pass now, if this night was anything to go by, it’s worth it!

We had a venue here, 80s night. We arrived about twenty to seven , as we had dinner before the gig. Met at the door by a steward, who checked Liz's bag, making sure she wasn't brining in drink. Seated by staff , who were friendly and pleasant. Table service for drinks, not the quickest, but again, friendly and pleasant. We both had the lentil soup, came with a nice big slice of bread, very nice. I had the chicken, peppercorn sauce, and spring onion mashed potato. Chicken was beautiful, as was the rest of the dish. Liz had butternut quash, which she enjoyed. After dinner, we went downstairs for the gig. It was not to busy, which was probably just as well, as the dance floor filled quite quickly. It is the first time I've been and will revisit soon. Great food, great staff, and an excellent band. Great venue for a night out, wether, just the two of you or a group. Definitely recommend
