    Went in at 4pm for food & were asked to leave AFTER being seated because my partner had (plain) black cargos on. It's Scotland & it was torrential wind & rain outside, why would he wear jeans? There were only 2 people in as well. Ironic how last time I was in years ago I was an underage teen without I.D & pretty drunk, now in my 30's I get turned away on a quiet afternoon looking for food. Save yourself the hassle & go literally to any other bar on Sauchiehall St & surrounding (Box, Bloc, Broadcast etc. are all excellent).

    Whoever was serving on the 7th October around 5pm was the rudest bar member I have ever encountered. Not pleasant - down right ignorant and cheeky to my partner he was so taken aback that we left after 1 drink. Why are you working in that profession with an attitude like that? Will never be back. First impressions matter.

    No regard for girls safety. was being harassed by a man in the bar. told the manger and she told me that “wasn’t how things worked” and she couldn’t remove him from the premises. felt very unsafe.

    Apparently they don't allow solo customers which is one of the weirdest things for a pub/bar I've ever heard. Funny thing is went in Monday night also solo and was served a lovely pint so thought I'd go back. Guess I might go in next time if I have some mates 😂 absolute joke.

    Staff member wanted me to leave without my only form of getting home after my partner vomited. Treated me like I was the one that vomited. The place wouldn’t answer my calls to try find my charger. Won’t be back ever. Cheap drink but customers are not treated with respect. Might I add bar staff serve customers that are visibly drunk more drink which I find disgusting! Bar staff are extremely rude especially staff on shift for the date 03/04/23 Would rate lower if I could!!!

    The food is dry, service is shocking and the quiz host Nicola has horrible social skills ( what kind of quiz doesn’t repeat questions) weird

    Rude bar member, I assume the owner, older lady with blonde hair - place was not crowded very quiet and we were told we had to order a drink because this a 'bar', myself and a friend had only just come in and gotten water. Very rude and condescending from the staff, not interested in going back

    Shocking treated like dirt by rude bar staff you have to be 15 years old to be served bring your class mates from school you will be served no problem. Never will return there is better pubs that only stick by the law.

    The place may be great but I wouldn't know - I was denied service because I was alone. They "don't take solo customers". I've been travelling solo for years now and I have never come across a policy like that. It was also a Wednesday evening, not very busy, and they have a bunch of seats at the bar and facing the windows that I can't imagine are very popular with groups. Not impressed.

    No one I'm the pub and they wouldn't let me in by myself. No wonder it's dead. Staff were extremely rude about it, too. I'm not sure why Glasgow doesn't let anyone in if they're solo, absolutely disgraceful if you'retravellingsolo. Makes it so much harder to meet eople. It was only 7 pm, too

    Great pub with a fun cocktail menu and good prices for Glasgow city centre. Not far from the hydro and SECC as I went here before going to see Stereophonics at the Hydro. Just a 5 minute taxi journey away, it cost about a fiver and it was the same to get to driftwood from Buchanan street bus station.

    Really like the quirky outside of the bar. Inside great staff and good range beers. great way to srat pub crawl if you in town with mates. Latest update roadworks just outside driftwood this due to new pavements being done.

    Drinks were cheap, creative and yummy, music was good, and vibe was GREAT. Definitely the place to start off a night of clubbing in Glasgow.

    Very nice food and service. Great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Steven H. 11 months ago on Google
    Situated on the Charing cross end of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, decor is basic, we sat outside enjoying the sun. There are excellent deals on shorts and mixers. Has a student clientele mostly, however if you are passing well worth a visit. Staff are friendly and helpful. Nice pub

    Great priced drinks during the week! Staff are very friendly and the environment/music makes you feel super comfortable. 10/10 would recommend! I'll be visiting again.

    Me and my friends tried their venom slushee and were all entranced, it tasted absolutely amazing and all at an affordable price .. there were seats outside for people who did not want to listen to the deafening music inside, which was really nice as well. It is also very well located contra other cheap affordable bars nearby.. it does not have very good subway connections meaning the bus is the only valid choice
