Overview
Walkabout on Renfield Street is Glasgow’s big Aussie-themed sports bar — a Stonegate venue that first opened here in 2002 and came back hard after a major 2018 refurb (reported around £500k–£1m depending on the write-up). Downstairs is stadium seating, booths and wall-to-wall HD screens for Sky / BT / Premier Sports; upstairs Felson’s Stick Hall mixes pool tables, shuffleboard and a cocktail lounge. Food is pub-scale: burgers, wings, sharers, pizza and buffet packages for groups, with kitchen service roughly noon–9pm. Book for big fixtures and parties; some bookings take a deposit that becomes a bar tab. Smart-casual dress (no sportswear/tracksuits/hats; smart trainers OK). Parties and VIP packages are a big part of the offer. It’s loud on match days and weekend nights — the point is screens, pints and a crowd. Buchanan Street subway is a few minutes away.

Absolutely terrible! Came here as an Australian hoping to enjoy an Australian beer. They have none!! No Bundaberg rum/or soft drink. Nothing in this place represents Australia. This is not an Australian bar, it’s a misrepresentation. Grudgingly had a half pint as I was there, it was served to me in a water glass, with no head keeper. Would have been flat in minutes. Disappointed is an understatement.

First time here and the food was great. The burgers were so juicy and the tender wings. Definitely coming back next time we are in Glasgow....funky decor too and lovely staff

Good nice up to date food, quick service, accommodative, quick service at the bar good pint and competitive pricing. Music good mix of current top 40, house and indie/rock. Cannot complain at all. Staff are lovely

Went for a boozy brunch and was very disorganised. Despite telling them we had a wheelchair user sat us at a high table took a while to get a suitable table sorted. Then we were left for a while before orders were taken. Food arrived cold and possibly undercooked as 4 from our group are unwell not sure if food or the juice in the cocktails. We had to.pay upfront for the food and drinks but wish we hadn't as service all afternoon was very poor. Very slow and not interested in our concerns with the food and drinks. Too many people in the venue not enough staff. Would not recommend here.
