    My first time in Ark and it was really good! We sat outside as it was a lovely day. Food, pints and cocktails. What more do you want? 😁 the food was amazing. We had the pizza cone, some fries and chicken wings. Good value for money! I also won two free pints from order brew dog!! We will definitely be back 😀

    One of the best beer gardens in Glasgow! Hidden away behind a couple of buildings, the place is an absolute sun trap, very little breeze and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The garden has a couple of tv screens outside for you to watch live sport. Inside is really spacious aswell, set over two floors. Great selection of drinks served here including St Mungos from the WEST brewery based in Glasgow. Highly recommend a pint of that.

    Superb drinks and food 🍻🌮 We accidently stumbled upon this place and we are super happy we did. Such a different look and really a great vibrant vibe.

    I was there last night with my friends. We need to say that we are loving this place so much. There are great promotions for foods, cocktails and beers. One more thing that I can not find enough words to say thank the staffs. I lost my AirPods and I didn’t know where I lost them until I called to the Ark and they said my AirPods are with them and they kept them for me. If there were more than five stars I would rate them more like 100+ I’m really appreciated ❤️

    First time being back at Ark in a few years. Cannot believe the difference after its recent renovation. The interior is stunning and the outdoor area is really spacious, lots of space and seating with a pool table, ping pong, multiple TVs and outdoor bar. The seating also has outdoor heaters above that you can turn on and off, great for winter time! Food was delicious, the photos attached are all vegan too! Menu is diverse and very reasonable prices. Shout-out to the bar staff Nathan who gave me and my sister incredible service all day, what a gem! Will definitely be back, if I lived closer it would be my new local! 10/10

    Spacious but overwhelming & loud (playing club music). Pool table appears cursed (probably the black chalk). Food looked great ( didn't have any).

    Great venue, which has two good bars. The upstairs bar had less but was still decent. Main bar was great with a wide variety of drinks. Staff were friendly enough. 1 girl upstairs was a bit cranky but everyone else was great. Bar service was pretty good, served everyone relatively fast. Thanks guys

    Great pub 2 minutes from George square and queen street station. Great place to stop for a quick one while waiting for the train. Service is typically pretty fast and the prices are very reasonable. There’s a great outdoor area/beer garden which also has heating etc.

    Used to be a solid 4-5 star when we went previously. Not been in a good while but unfortunately it really lost what the Ark always was. Food was mediocre and booze decent but just as you would be expect. Gone are the awesome burgers and munch down dishes. Still allows dogs which is cool but sad it's not what it used to be.... A mediocre bar now with a decent 3 and probably low 4 on a good day.

    Great pub! Had a good time. We came to grab a bite and watch the soccer match between Greece and The Netherlands. We had to sit outside since there was a pub quiz, but there where headlights so it wasn't that cold. Great atmosphere.

    Good bar, got a cracking beer garden and food is nice although it’s a bit pricey. they have a decent selection of non alcohol drinks but the prices for them are a bit much. overall great place though

    Decently priced beer, good selection, wide variety of tasty food, order by app, phone charging and awesome beer garden.

  • 5/5 Atlas P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good atmosphere during the evenings for sports nights & casual nights out. Good selection of beers and spirits at the bar, food is good too. Plenty of space inside and outside around back.

  • 5/5 Isaac L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good cheap drinks especially for students, £4 cocktails is an insanely good price as most places now seem to do two for ten or twelve.

    I love the Ark. I’ve been coming here for almost 4 years and have loved it. HOWEVER one of the staff, male with short brown hair who has been working there for years (since I’ve been coming), has a terrible attitude. Having gone to the upstairs bar to order a drink, my sister found that she couldn’t order a beer because there were ‘no pint glasses’ when there was one sitting there. The customer service in genera from that member of staff was poor but had the effort been put in to clean the glass in the sink that was available, it would’ve meant that at least it would’ve been a little better. It’s not what I expected from the staff here and his attitude to customers is extremely poor. To be honest he lets the place down because it is great!

    Tried their new menu today. Was very impressed. Pizza was fantastic and the small plates were beautiful. Calamari, Karage chicken and mini tacos 🌮. The Ark was a great pub. Can’t wait to come back and watch some sport or sit in their amazing garden on a sunny day.

    one of the nicest pubs I’ve ever been to. Super cosy atmosphere, loads of seating and really spacious. Staff were incredibly friendly and chatty. Beer garden looks amazing! Really sweet place to meet friends and have a drink and a meal.

    Great food, TVs showing sports from every table food was good quality and reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Andreas Michalis L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to go and watch your spirts. Good beer and good snacks for a reasonable price. Amazed on how many TV’s you have in every angle to be able to watch your favourite sports with comfort

👍👍 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...
