    Really nice atmosphere in the Park Bar. It’s cosy, comfy and casual. The kind of place where you can relax and have an actual conversation. Lots of seating and clean and tidy. Having always just passed this place before I’m glad I visited and will return again

    This was my dad's local some 43 years ago, I never got a chance to go in , I took my daughter up to Glasgow from Leeds just to go in and have a drink. Had a ball the staff member was great and listen to my tale . It's was great to take my daughter to a place her grand dad went to.

    This is the bar where the barkeeper, manager, owner during my visit to Glasgow, end of the eighties, refused to Serve me glenmorangie with cola, IT was a waste,I was told. That evening and the next one I was taught how to drink Scotch! One of my best experiences ever! Top of the bill bar !

    I haven't been to many bars since the COVID-19 pandemic started. This was one of the first bars where I ventured inside for a pint. I was so impressed with the measures they had in place to make their customers feel safe. We had our temp taken on arrival, details taken for track and trace. The staff were so friendly and prompt when giving us table service. I saw them clean down seats and tables after every visitor and there was lots of hand sanitiser around the place. 5 star experience and will definitely be back.

    Glorious time listening to Irish music last weekend whilst on a visit to Glasgow to see my son, speedy and super efficient service from a pleasant staff with a good variety of beers, including, of course Guinness.

  • 4/5 Dave W. 2 years ago on Google
    Always popular with my English friends because of the live Scot-Irish folk music - I can't abide the clamour, but it's always a cheerful social place to be.

  • 5/5 DAB S. 1 year ago on Google
    Busy pub, had a great night. Band Eriskay Lilt hit the spot playing trad tunes and singing crowd pleasers, not too loud but loud enough. Many Highland and Island clientele. Bar well staffed. Looking forward to visiting again

  • 5/5 Billy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service a busy bar but worth a visit

  • 4/5 Ellen G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great live music on the weekends and a fun atmosphere to be a part of. Prices are a it more than other local pubs but cheaper than the high end ones in the Finnieston area. The bartenders can be a bit more straight forward and less chatty, but they do their jobs well and are friendly to newcomers. If you don't have a good sense of humor or sarcasm then the bartenders may be intimidating.

    Great Traditional music, friendly staff, great atmosphere, well worth a visit or 2 or 3 or more

  • 5/5 Ric 11 months ago on Google
    A lot of fun with mates dancing and singing along to the fantastic live Irish music. Good value drinks too.

  • 5/5 Simon M. 9 months ago on Google
    Good pub in a good location. Prices very reasonable for West End - £4 for a pint of Tennants. Usually nice and quiet on weekday afternoons. Absolutely heaving on a Saturday night - but always plenty of staff on so no problem getting served. Nina and Winnie run a tight ship - highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Manuela B. 10 months ago on Google
    Very old pub with Hebrids vibes. Listening to Loch Lomond song was the best!!!! We had a wee taste of Hebridian gin and tonic.

  • 4/5 Andy M. 9 months ago on Google
    Busy bar, attentive staff and fairly well priced for the area, was in to watch football and crowd was fairly reserved, only cheering when goals were scored. Great pub for a pint but not sure I'd go there to watch a game again.

  • 3/5 Kathryn R. 9 months ago on Google
    Very trendy, meaning, very noisy. Live music, but too noisy to hear it. We left after a few minutes and will not go back.

  • 2/5 Mark Y. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a good venue, good atmosphere, but the beer and whisky range is very limited and boring.

  • 4/5 MM 7 months ago on Google
    Clean place to hide from the rain. Beer is good, space is big, beers are flowing. Nice to visit and meet up with friends. Did some reading while watching football. No food when I went, they only sold chips.

  • 4/5 Emlyn S. 4 months ago on Google
    Great classic pub, could use a few nice highland ales on tap and maybe light the fire for some extra cosy vibes. Other than that very nice friendly staff and cosy vibes!

    Staff refused to serve our entire table because one person with an illness fell asleep and the insensitive beast behind the bar refused to listen to our explanation.

👍👍 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!
