    Great burgers, we all had a different one and you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. The chips here are the real highlight. No idea what they do with the recipe, but wow they're one of the tastiest things I've tried in a while. We made the "mistake" of ordering a side and then realized all burgers come with a side of chips as well. Either way, the extra skin-on fries with pulled pork were incredible. One of the best pub meals I've had!

    Great bar, fantastic atmosphere. Witnessed one of the best live bands we have listened to in a long time. The "Three Card Trick" had the Howlin Wolf rocking way past midnight.

    The ambience was amazing. The place has a cool, rustic look with cozy lighting that sets a relaxed mood. There's plenty of seating, so you can find a comfortable spot to enjoy the live music.

    I write reviews mostly for good places. Otherwise only to warn others. These guys should go try a microwave bean & cheese burrito available from nearly any gas station in America.Then they'd cry for a week and realize the crime they've committed of insulting burritos everywhere, ruining them for no doubt hundreds of thousands of Glaswegians. I wasn't expecting much, but pick a flavor, any flavor, and it would've been better than this flavorless mass of chewable material. I was actually impressed how they managed to suck all joy out of it. I won't soon forget it. Guys, seriously: don't put food on the menu unless it really is. The girls next to me said they tried the nachos and they were awful. Staff, ambience, the band, the Guiness were all fine. Misleading in a way, as all that implied the food on the menu might also be.

    Great bar in Glasgow City centre. If visiting at weekends would definitely recommend booking a table even if just drinking as it does get very busy. I didn't eat but the food that I did see being served looked delicious. Great entertainment from blues band on a Saturday afternoon.

    We’ve been here a few times for drinks and it’s always a nice atmosphere and a good range of drinks. We came as a group for dinner and were all pretty impressed by the food. The chicken wings in particular are great - it’s the full wing of the chicken, so double what you might get elsewhere. The only disappointment was my halloumi tacos - not much halloumi and what was there wasn’t very tasty. Otherwise all quite nice.

    I like this place a lot. A large selection of draught beers from mainly Scottish breweries and plenty of other choices. There is a decent menu if you're hungry and the atmosphere is friendly. The music is obviously a big selling point, no pop or radio hits, just good blues and rock. Always a good buzz in here.

    Amazing place with a good atmosphere. Friendly staff, delicious food, perfect music. I recommend booking a table in advance or coming earlier. Around 9 pm when the live music started it became busy.

    Really cool bar with live music. The bartender's were quite friendly and the drinks were good and nicely priced. Definitely a place to go if you are visiting Glasgow.

  • 4/5 Starquisha J. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere at this underground bar. The staff were lovely. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. Would definitely revisit but only for drinks.

  • 5/5 Alkistis P. 1 year ago on Google
    Live music (blues), good food/drinks, and very friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Megan D. 10 months ago on Google
    I was expecting the focus to be on the music/atmosphere more than the food, as we came here for the live Jazz, but that was not the case at all! The quality of the food was actually excellent. Great choice available, the tacos were so fresh and filled with such a mix of textures and flavours, and the cauliflower wings were the best I’ve ever had 🤤

    The food was coated in hot sauce that made me cry lol and I like spicy. Staff were nice tho. This rating is based on the food alone which was bland but coated in horrible hot sayce

  • 4/5 Smn V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar with good food and cider selection. The live music is too loud in my opinion. Haggis Burritos or Haggis Enchiladas available.

  • 5/5 Rae F. 10 months ago on Google
    The best live music in the city alongside extremely sweet staff. Food is on the bland side but it’s bar food, cmon.

  • 3/5 Paola B. 10 months ago on Google
    The service was excellent! But the food did not reached my expectations. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and it came without salt and with poor flavors. The fries came soggy. In the back of the restaurant, there are some tables that you can sit if you prefer a quieter space. And there are in the back of the restaurant tables outside.

    Always love my visits to howling wolf, be it for food or drinks it’s always a great atmosphere! On our last occasion we had booked in for a late dinner and drinks. Our waiter Elijah was just delightful! So warm and welcoming and very attentive. Would always recommend howlin wolf to my friends or people I meet visiting Glasgow and want a cool venue with great tunes, and chill vibes!

    A perfect night out for blues lovers - we attended the Sunday night jam with no expectations, just popped in because it was just near our hotel, but were blown away with the standard of musicians and singers- all amazing, the fabulous warm vibe thanks to Charlotte who led the whole night seamlessly, and has a charisma and talent in equal measure. Will definitely make an effort to return next time I'm in Glasgow.

  • 5/5 Kit F. 1 year ago on Google
    The food, drinks and staff are amazing and as expected, the music is fantastic (especially the live music). Although a little pricey, it is absolutely worth every penny and definitely a good place for dates and celebrations. Would recommend and will be coming again (hopefully many times, that hotpot was to die for)

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
