The 30 Best Pub in Glasgow

“Liz our guide was absolutely brilliant. Easy pace and learnt so much. The Street Art is astonishing. Get on this tour, excellent intro to the wonderful city of Glasgow.”

“We had our first visit here last evening and have to say if we stayed in Glasgow we would be here all of the time. I had put in a request for a quieter area if possible due to our daughter struggling with busy areas. They went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable and it made her evening to feel so special. The food was 10 out of 10 for all meals, the kids came out as soon as it was ready. Really the best evening.”

“If you're a ranger's fan then this is your place”

“Always a fantastic steak experience. Tried the Wagyu Ribeye at this visit, (Nov 2025), which was excellent. While the service has always been great at each visit in the past, we found this visit to be exceptional. The friendly, professional and knowledgeable service from our Steak Expert Martina was 5star+.”

“We enjoyed an afternoon tea at the Castle. It has a "Highland Castle" feeling inside and outside, despite being 10 mins from city centre! The Christmas and overall decor were very cosy, and the service was excellent too!”

“Belting wee pub. Landlords a top man and the punters are a pleasure. Walked in not knowing anyone. Left knowing most of them! Good pool players too. See ya next time”

“Absolutely fantastic! Really lovely meal, flavours were.just great. We were watching the pennies, so we shared a starter of haggis, then had a sharing plate - vegetarian, I think, and then a couple of scoops of sorbet. And I tried one of the cocktails! I am not a drinker so I have nothing to compare it to, but wow!”

“This is the best place to stay in Glasgow. Lovingly decorated large rooms. The food served is outstanding. The building has great character and the staff are super welcoming.”

“Had a birthday lunch today in the bar area. We took our wee dog with us and he was given his bowl of water immediately. The wine was lovely, service was 1st class and the club sandwich was the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Will definitely be coming back.”

“I personally love the place. Good atmosphere and people who go there are pleasant. Food quality is pretty good, especially for Glasgow standards. Only downside for me is a few members of the staff who I don’t find fitting. But overall I am satisfied with my visits all the time. Do not recommend beef tartare, it’s lacking in flavor and serving. Love vote for quick lunch.”

“The Ivy on Buchanan Street is an absolute showstopper! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of glamour and sophistication. The decor is simply stunning—vibrant, art-deco inspired, and filled with beautiful details that make every corner feel special. It's the perfect setting for a celebratory meal or just a luxurious treat. The food is equally impressive, with a menu that offers a fantastic blend of classic dishes and modern twists. Every plate is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service is top-notch; the staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and make you feel truly valued. From the creative cocktails to the delicious desserts, The Ivy provides a fantastic dining experience that is well worth it. It's an unforgettable spot in the heart of Glasgow's Style Mile.”

“Had a brilliant 3 course lunch for 2 people and two drinks for just £20. The food is really good, the soup was perfect, the macaroni and chips and peas were brilliant and ice cream to top it off for only £7 is incredible. Would recommend if in glasgow.”

“Great venue, staff are really friendly and attentive asking if we needed any help ordering or anything else. Drinks are the usual BrewDog drinks so great quality and a good price. Really fun atmosphere and great place to chill out”

“First visit to the Maldron or the group and was impressed by the experience. Staff were all first class, communicative and industrious with a pleasant demeanour. Quality of finishings was excellent, very comfortable bed and very clean room and public areas. Breakfast selection was as expected, was regularly refreshed and plenty available. Look forward to my next visit.”

“Fabulous location! Right within 5-10 minute walking distance to shopping, theater, and tons of pubs and restaurants. One of my favorite things about this hotel is they have a couple of filtered water stations to fill up your bottles. It’s a small thing with a huge and welcomed convenience while traveling. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.”

“Screen 12 row B seat 9. Comfy recliner seats, best nachos. Clean and friendly staff. Lots of food choices, also has a costa.. plenty of seating areas.”

“I went there a few months back, and from the moment I walked in and saw Lilly on stage, I knew it was going to be a great night. She has amazing stage presence and the most beautiful smile. It was great to talk with, and her dance style is sensual and sexy! So seductive. I can not recommend her enough. If you go here, ask for Lilly, and your night will be amazing”

“I live this place. basment moody atmosphere with amazing tunes. Had the burgers here before and they are outstanding. I had to try the pizza completely different from almost anywhere. And not did not disappoint it was amazing as we're the cheesy chips. Do yourself a favour get down here and try this food out. Not fancy but definitely outstanding.”

“What we tried was delicious. One of the best burgers we've ever had. The place was nice and well-kept. The staff was very friendly and made you feel at home.”

“Had a boozy brunch here with a friend in December. Bart was our host and couldn't have done anymore for us which was much appreciated. Food was lovely, drinks were topped up regularly and the overall atmosphere was great. Will definitely be returning soon. Great value for money. Thanks Bart and the team.”

“Great restaurant in a great hotel, Surprised by food quality of the bar menu: ibeye was close to perfection. Impressive list of whiskies by the glass. Private rooms for dinner or tasting available.”

“It was my second time at Halloumi and it was simply incredible. The food was amazing, I really like how the Greek dips come with a Pitta bread that you can share with the table. The dessert was definitely the best part! I also loved the service and atmosphere, definitely recommend to come here for dinner.”

“The food was good. The atmosphere was warm and comfy. Martin was a great bartender and he answered our questions about Glasgow. We appreciated his information, opinion, and vibe!”

“Surprisingly great pub food for Glasgow. Nothing like your normal Wethersoons/Hungry Horse, the burger here had an amazing crisp bun on it and tased so fresh. I also had a slice of the sticky toffee pudding which was very delicious and well presented. It was order at the bar, however the staff were very pleasant and welcoming, bring the food to the table and checking in that everything was good. The atmosphere was pretty quiet tonight as there was nothing on, however they have a board at the door that was full of things like Poker Night and sports events. I'll definitely be back and would throughly recommend a visit.”

“I really like this cinema, slightly more expensive but so worth it. Big reclining seats and lots of room.”

“Courtney has been an amazing bartender, been caring and passionate about our experience. Been here with couple of friends and the live music always brings to a wonderful atmosphere. Only came for drinks but the bartender are generous with their pours. Definitely recommend.”

“My family and I had an exceptional experience at the Emirates Lounge in Glasgow Airport. Despite our flight being delayed by 40 minutes, we didn't mind the extra time because the lounge offered such a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere. From the moment we entered, the staff were amazing—warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed and were always available to assist with a smile. The lounge itself is beautifully designed, with a calm and sophisticated ambiance that made it easy to relax. The food options were excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to different tastes. We were particularly impressed by the quality and freshness of everything served. One of the standout features was the dedicated prayer room, which was a thoughtful touch for travelers who wish to pray in a quiet, private space. The bathroom facilities were also immaculate—so clean and well-maintained that they felt like a sanctuary where you could easily spend extra time freshening up. Adding to the overall experience was the stunning view of the runway. Watching airplanes take off and land while enjoying the comfort of the lounge made the wait for our flight feel like a special part of the journey. In summary, the Emirates Lounge at Glasgow Airport exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of excellent service, luxurious amenities, and a peaceful atmosphere made it a highlight of our trip. We almost wished our flight was delayed longer!”

“Lisa was absolutely brilliant. Excellent service! Will totally recommend. T bone steak was a little bit on the small size and a little bit chewy. The Tomahawk and the fillet sreak were perfectly cooked.”

“Hadn’t been here in a while and I was so surprised and how much choice there was on the menu! We all had different mains that we really enjoyed. The steak in the rice bowl was cooked so well. It’s nice that you can go for food and then go and chill in the bar area with a drink afterwards. Loved my chicken skewer!”

“The moment I walked in, the interiors instantly caught my eye—elegant, cozy, and effortlessly stylish. Every detail felt intentional, from the lighting to the textures, creating a space that’s both inviting and inspiring. The music and salsa on Tuesdays, it’s quickly become one of my favourite go-to spots. A place that feels special without trying too hard.”
