If you love watching sport it's wonderful, must be about 15 TV's plus a giant screen just in case you can't see a TV! Busy bar, but staff numbers and experience means you don't have to wait long, Gents toilet was small and smelly. Good range of beer, not so much for whisky drinkers, no Auchentosh Three Wood, no Bowmore 15YO.
Booked for a Christmas dinner on the ‘seasonal spreads’ package. 35 of us total paid £26 each for a total lump sum of £910. Menu looked nice, with a range of different stuff like ‘Mushroom and crumbly blue arancini’ - not Christmas food, but we understood that before booking, that was not the problem. The food was very very low quality. Tiny burgers each with the meat sliced in half to fit inside little buns, frozen fish fingers, bowls of cheap chips, pigs in blankets (that were £3pp extra) that were barely cooked and made with the cheapest little sausages ever. The funniest part was the doughballs, which were just very very dry flavourless lumps of dense bread in a big pile, with a little bit of sickly chocolate sauce drizzled ontop and maybe 10 raspberries. Most of our group found this to be the 1 menu item that was actually inedible. Most of the food, like the burgers and chicken wings etc, we ate, as everyone was hungry, the problem was the quality. £14 or so per person would have been the upper limit, to charge £26 was completely insane. There was also really not enough food (even if you had a jaw strong enough to eat the doughballs). We tried to speak to a manager to explain, and get a partial refund or similar, but the manager wasn’t in. The bar staff were lovely but said they couldn’t help us themselves, made a phone call and were authorised to give us 1 glass of Prosecco per person, so about a £2 compensation each given the cost of a few bottles of wholesale Prosecco. Again, not the staff’s fault, this was just a really rubbish management/ownership decision to make a package and charge this price, for this quality of food. A real shame.
We go to The Ark all the time, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always lively but relaxed, perfect for catching up with friends or watching a game. The food and drinks are great value, and the place is always clean and well looked after. A special mention to Cara, who always serves us with a smile, making the experience even better. She’s friendly, attentive, and always goes out of her way to make sure everything’s spot on. It’s staff like her that keep us coming back every time! Highly recommend The Ark to anyone looking for a great pub in the city centre.
Went here for a meal on a Tuesday night. Wasn't too busy but we had booked a table anway. Plenty of screens showing live sports. Staff really friendly. Will definitely be back
The Ark in Glasgow is a fantastic spot with great vibes, an excellent beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual pint or a full meal, this place delivers on all fronts. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax with friends. Megan, the manager, is awesome—friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone has a great experience. The staff as a whole is top-notch, adding to the pub’s welcoming feel. The food is just as impressive as the drinks, with a solid menu that complements the extensive beer selection. If you’re in Glasgow and looking for a great pub, The Ark is definitely worth a visit!
Great food, TVs showing sports from every table food was good quality and reasonably priced.
One of the best beer gardens in Glasgow! Hidden away behind a couple of buildings, the place is an absolute sun trap, very little breeze and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The garden has a couple of tv screens outside for you to watch live sport. Inside is really spacious aswell, set over two floors. Great selection of drinks served here including St Mungos from the WEST brewery based in Glasgow. Highly recommend a pint of that.
First time being back at Ark in a few years. Cannot believe the difference after its recent renovation. The interior is stunning and the outdoor area is really spacious, lots of space and seating with a pool table, ping pong, multiple TVs and outdoor bar. The seating also has outdoor heaters above that you can turn on and off, great for winter time! Food was delicious, the photos attached are all vegan too! Menu is diverse and very reasonable prices. Shout-out to the bar staff Nathan who gave me and my sister incredible service all day, what a gem! Will definitely be back, if I lived closer it would be my new local! 10/10
Amazing place to go and watch your spirts. Good beer and good snacks for a reasonable price. Amazed on how many TV’s you have in every angle to be able to watch your favourite sports with comfort
