A very authentic pub within the heart of Glasgow. The staff is very friendly, explained the drinks very patiently
Excellent scran. We had the Philly cheese steak and cold cuts subs. Chicken wings and fries. They were all excellent. Would definitely recommend.
Stopped for a beer before we went out for dinner. Nice local pub and great ambiance.
Ultimately very dissatisfied. Ordered a sub and fries. Food took over an hour to come, the resturaunt was not even moderately busy. The sub came cold, and the fries arrived at least 10-15 minutes after the sub. Convinced they grew the chicken, killed it, plucked it and fried it within the time of us being there. The female waitress was nice and attentive but would definetely not come again.
Great bar with tasty food! It's an institution in Glasgow city centre and has a buzzing atmosphere at the weekend. The kitchen is taken over by Sub 126 at the time of posting, they do rotate the food on offer but in my experience it is always great. The subs currently on the menu are amazing, big sandwiches with top quality ingredients.
I was here with a small group of friends for some food and drinks. I've been for drinks before and it's always a great night. On this occasion I had pre-looked at the menu and I knew what I was having. On arrival we were told the pizza oven had been broken a while so pizzas were off the menu. Which is what I was going to have. I had a chicken burger with Cajun fries and no salad. I ordered a rum n diet coke with a lime wedge. My drink arrived with a lemon slice and my burger arrived with a full salad, the chicken burger wasn't a burger it was two chicken tenders/pieces stuck in a bun, what an absolute joke of a chicken burger. Cajun fries were in nice but not a lot of them. Such a shame as the bar is top notch, it wasn't even super busy like 730pm on a Friday night, staff need to up their game on food service. I'll be back for drinks but definitely won't be back for food, wouldn't recommend it, loads of places closer by that do good drinks and much better food/service.
I have been coming here since 2015 and have never had many significant problems with staff or punters, but over the years the quality of the venue has rapidly decreased. The upstairs bar needs major space alterations in order to move around. The bar is very cramped and is the first reason I rarely visit any more. On a more serious note, I recommend more better vetting of security staff. Other than Alan who is a great dude, management's choice of security is shocking, if not worrying. On this particular instance (which prompted me to write a review) I had just arrived, and hadn't even ordered a drink, before a white spectacled security guard approached me and asked me to step outside. I was in dispute of what it was that I had done wrong until eventually he made the decision to manhandle me, throttling my neck so as to cut off my windpipe so I couldn't breath while I shouted for Alan. My friend was beside me and as far as I can remember beckoned Alan over who thankfully intervened and ordered the man to get off me. It was not a great start nor ending to my evening. This is just one of a number of clashes I've had with security who can be very toxic, misogynistic and all round bullies. I think the problems start when senior management are out of sight so security can get off on their power trip. I hate to say this but there have been cases where bar staff have also been complicit in bullying. I rarely, if ever visit Max's Bar or La Cheetah these days due to the traumatic experiences I've had in the past. The venue needs serious reforms and I have been saying that for years, Thanks
First time at Maxs, best chicken and fries in Glasgow, Three of us arrived for lunch. Friendly staff and the food and drinks came quickly. Halluomi Burger, Fish and Chicken in a basket. Not pricey and excellent portion size. If shopping in Glasgow this is the place for Cocktails and food. We'll be back
Been waiting for this place to open back up again and so happy it's finally back! This is a must eat spot in Glasgow, all the food is good and we always have a great time. The mozzarella sticks and Louisiana chicken strips are amazing, sadly they didn't have the chorizo croquettes on but hoping they come back soon! Really quick service and all the staff are lovely!
