A decent little venue although a bit too dark for my liking. Deceptively spacious with seating available for us ‘older’ folk who require it after navigating our way in.
Went to see Luna Bay. Great little venue with really good selection of beer including alcohol free. If you’re coming to see a band, you absolutely need ear plugs/defenders (hope they sell them behind the bar too - it’s absolutely necessary). It’s probably the loudest of all the venues I’ve ever been to. It’s a small venue with a low stage and low ceiling so the amps have to be brought up to avoid being drowned by the drums. Friendly place and crowd. I’d definitely return but again only with ear plugs.
Reasonable selection of beers & ciders. Soundsystem is good but they failed to reorient the speakers to account for the smaller crowd at the show I attended. Stage is only a few inches above the ground. Toilets are big enough. There is a quieter area around the corner from the bar where you can chat without needing to shout. No smoking area, you just have to leave and come back in.
Hi there, so firstly I adore the flying duck! It’s a really great venue and it’s probably the only place I can think of that does a decent Vegan Mac and cheese! My only upset is that the venue isn’t accessible, it’s down a couple flights of stairs and The the gig venue is down even more stairs. And I know nothing can be done about it but I think having a bit more visibility on that the venue isn’t accessible would be amazing! I would recommend this venue though it’s a lively place and I’ve always felt welcomed! Just from the point of view of someone with access needs it’s tough to want to have events here as I have many pals who are also mobility impaired. But again too venue despite this
Menu has slowly been going downhill for years. Used to love this place and get excited to eat here, until they changed the menu the first time and everything on it seemed....average. I still enjoyed it to an extent but it was no longer my favourite restaurant. However, the recent changes to the menu is what really caused me to write this review. For example, their"Grilled Cheese" sandwiches are truly, truly awful. The Philly Cheese Steak was literally a piece of normal bread, toasted, with some undercooked seitan and some soggy onions and peppers. This was roughly £10. I swear I could have made it better at home and I'm not even a great cook. Their bathroom sinks are also never working, almost every time I have been there too. Seems to be taking a very long time to fix that. Completely disappointed in their effort recently. Good bar, good venue, maybe eat somewhere else.
I love the flying duck! Its my fav 100% vegan place in glasgow.
An underground pub & music venue with a completely vegan menu. The place is split into two large rooms - one with the bar, kitchen and eating area (they also have board games and a pool table) and the other with a cosy concert hall. The staff were friendly. The food was really good though the menu was a bit limited the day we were there (probably being mid-August and students being away) but we had a nice time. I had to ask for some changes to my dish due to a dietary restriction (in addition to being vegan) and they were happy to accommodate. Despite being next to the music room where a band was playing, the bar and dining area were quiet. We went to the music hall in the next room afterwards for a bit. Nice ambiance...younger crowd.
Good food, good drinks! Industrial setting which added to the charm. It's down quite a big staircase so be careful if you have access needs. I ordered the hotdog and it was yummy, the chips were also really good!
GREAT ATMOSPHERE WITH GOOD FOOD Was taken here on a Friday evening a couple days after new years. Arrived at around 7:30pm and there were a lot of tables available. Started getting a lot busier later on. I got the Colonel Chipotle burger which was recommended by one of the staff. It came with chips and coleslaw. Both were great quality and very more-ish. The burger was pretty good but honestly I like the sides a lot more. The burger patty was a little to thick for me. Still tasted great! The atmosphere is probably the best part of this place. It's in the sweet spot where it wasn't too busy or too quiet. They're also looked like there was a lot of events going on which I need to go back for! Would recommend going here if you're looking for a place with a decent meal and great atmosphere.
I loved the vibe of the place. It was completely suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It was a lovely setting and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had a Bean Burger with some apple cider and both were delicious. The burger was flavourful and full of a lot of leafy vegetables which was very different and enjoyable. Highly recommended. Thanks!
