The place is such a nice vibe, but the service is weird. Can’t tell if they want you to order at the bar or table service, no one tells you anything. If you go to the bar they seem annoyed, if you ask to order at the table they seem annoyed? It’s the weird inbetween bar restaurant. Good vibe though, nice and dark and cosy!
Food very tasty. Lovely relaxing vibe in this pub & service excellent
We ordered too much food. Lamb small plate was our favourite, delicious. Padron peppers, skin on fries were also lovely. Unfortunately the fish tacos were a let down, the fish was nice however something in the filling wasn’t pleasant so the taco’s weren’t eaten, (previously these had been delicious). Overall a lovely evening and would still return to try again.
Outside tables a bit tight, especially for oldies. Food was delicious but was a bit cool and had to be returned to heat up. Re service, no-one came to ask us how our meal was or if we wanted anything else. We had to keep going to the bar to order extra drinks, water, coffee etc. The restaurant difficult to find as no nameplate on the front of the building. Even a restaurant name on the outside menu would have been a clue.
The staff were accommodating and helpful, the atmosphere warm and cosy, and the food flavourful and well presented. I had a Bloody Mary and it was PERFECT for my palate. Small tables made it difficult to accommodate the drinks and plates for the three of us, and the venue wasn’t well-signed making it difficult to locate initially, but it added to the exclusiveness of it. I’d recommend heading in at least once when you’re in Glasgow.
OK, if you’re on the way to somewhere else I guess…stopped in for a couple of quick drinks, which were OK, but not what you’d call ‘cheap’. Taking into account it IS a small bar, it seemed really cramped and the seating not particularly comfy…there wasn’t a lot of folk in when we visited either. The only loo working was the single PRM one on the ground floor, so not great when you need to use the ‘facilities’ either…
This place would be brilliant if they had enough people serving at the bar. Lovely bar, great atmosphere but I don't want to wait 15 mins at the bar. You need to turn around drinks faster.
It's a good bar, good drinks. The bartender was spraying his friend with soda water and it hit my mate. He didn't apologise, he just replied "it's just soda water". The staff seemed a lot more interested in talking to their mates than serving anyone. Really nice place, just maybe don't stand at the bar too long...
Just popped in on route to our hotel. The decor is stunning and gives the place a lovely ambience. Large selection of cocktails the 2 of which we tried were delicious.
Have been in for drinks several times and always enjoyed the atmosphere. We stopped in on Friday and ordered some food this time too. The small plates were really lovely, we tried the cheesy chips, cauliflower, popcorn chicken and brisket spring rolls. Everything was magic and we would definitely eat here again.
