    Best pub in Glasgow...especially for Celtic supporters! Lively atmosphere, plenty of tables and bar space to belly up for a pint. Service is friendly and fast, even at the busiest of times. TV's all over the place to enjoy the game from any angle. I heard about something called "Venom" but didn't give it a go on this visit. I reckon its one of those "bucket list" things you've gotta try once (at least)

    Love this bar! Great friendly, relaxing atmosphere and staff friendly also. They do great live events and also nice to pop in for a quick pint after a busy day of shopping. Been one of my favourites for a long time

    Popped in to watch a football match at the weekend and had a great afternoon. Reminds me of a classic Gallowgate style pub. Loads of tables, loads of bar staff, friendly bouncers. Not sure how it fares on non match days but it’s lively and welcoming for sports occasions

    I was spiked first time in here. Thank god I have sensible friends who got me home safe. Don’t think it’s the bars fault but I called to check cameras and have heard nothing back as yet. I’m disappointed and left really upset over it as it could have ended a lot worse for me.

    Decent pub, plenty of space & good prices. They never sussed I was a Rangers fan!

  • 1/5 Stevo m. 1 year ago on Google
    I hear it's losing its license, which I'm happy about. It can't be legal blocking most of the pavement and trouble most weekends good riddance to that element. Got a reply from some dimwit who thinks their funny. Didn't answer question about the street furniture blocking most of the pavement. I have already passed pictures and information to g.c.c to check that they are allowed to block most of the pavement

    I have been to many Irish bars throughout the world, and really is it an Irish bar or just a Celtic bar. They had an Irish folk singer who was reasonable and this bar is probably good for watching live sports as it has a lot of large screen televisions, the service was good and the beer reasonably priced. Only the partisan atmosphere lets this place down.

    Went in for a few around midnight before we got taxi home after being at the Partick game. Security staff, walked round the pub the full time giving everyone the evil eye. Wasn't that busy for a Friday night and they had some guy on stage singing country music with the odd sectarian tune flung in for good measure. Have to say, the guy working in the toilets was very polite and helpful. Slipped him a wee fiver.

  • 4/5 Craig m. 10 months ago on Google
    Very Celtic orientated. Food is nice, one of the few places to cook black pudding properly. If you can get past the Parkhead terrace songs and the displays of Celtic footballers then worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Thomas Q. 9 months ago on Google
    Could hear the atmosphere from the top of the street, was a busy Sunday with the woman's cup final on and premiership last day, quick service and the music/singers was great too

  • 5/5 Lynne O. 9 months ago on Google
    It was great to share time with like minded people. Great staff, great atmosphere, great music in a great location in Glasgow. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Ed B. 10 months ago on Google
    All the screens you could wish for to enjoy live sport. Bouncing atmosphere for big games and live music.

  • 5/5 Paul K. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the very best Celtic pubs in Glasgow..... On Match days get in early and I do mean early 😎

  • 5/5 Fabian K. 4 months ago on Google
    Very good and climate place. I've eaten there for the first time Mac & Cheese and I'm happy that I've done it there. :D There is very clean, a lot of monitors to watch sport. Very good and nice service. Thanks a lot! 😊🍀

    Lovely Irish pub with lots of TVs for sports. Live music is being played, good choice of beers on tap. Had burgers & chips as well which were super nice.

  • 5/5 Andy H. 4 months ago on Google
    Rocking & rolling in here after a visit to the Celtic game. Great atmosphere 👌

  • 5/5 Gerry C. 6 months ago on Google
    We went to Graces on the afternoon of a Celtic home match and the atmosphere was amazing. There was live Irish music and the crowd were in fine song. Very friendly bar and worth a visit.

  • 3/5 Patrick N. 7 months ago on Google
    Had seen a Abbey beer online, when l asked for it they had never heard of it which was a bit disappointing, We didn't know Celtic had played a home game that day and the pub was full of fans, and the music was very loud so we had a pint and left. Would really like to go back on a non game day and see the pub at its best as it had come highly recommended. I think we just chose the wrong night to go. Will try again next time l visit Glasgow.

    Chicken fajitas were fantastic . However served on very small plates . Was difficult trying to make them up without getting food on the table. Clean airy pub

    Good celtic pub and cheap monday_wednesday

  • 4/5 James M. 5 years ago on Google
    The Guinness was fresh. Pints of Hop House, Peroni and Ashai weren't fresh. Drinks expensive but OK for area. Plenty of bar staff. Tables cleaned quickly when people left. Loads of big TVs around seats and over the bar and great for sports. Doesn't look traditional or cosy, just one big open-plan layout. More of an American style sports bar, with some green colour and Irish posters wallpaper on way to toilets.

  • 3/5 Stuart C. 3 years ago on Google
    I was drunk so I don't really remember much. Toilets were clean, drinks weren't too pricey. Meh..

  • 5/5 Stephen Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Heard about this wee haunt from a bhoy at work. What a truly magnificent watering hole. Great beers. Great staff. Amazing choons. Doesn't really get any better than this IMO. Top notch 🍀

  • 3/5 chris r. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff in a good location. - Staff all welcoming and attentive - Celtic bar but with a wider appeal - Good cocktails - Usually some sort of sports on TV. - Would go back but wouldn't be first choice.

  • 5/5 John S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Karl O. 3 years ago on Google
    Replace Grace with great and its pretty accurate

  • 2/5 Christopher B. 3 years ago on Google
    Total rip off with prices. £34 for 4 drinks. One girl doing the waitress service. Left and went to beer garden round the corner. £20 for the same 4 drinks. Better service. No reason whatsoever to go Grace bar now the music has gone. Avoid.

  • 4/5 eddie k. 4 years ago on Google
    The guy singing is shouting too loud into the microphone. Either put the mike away and sing as you are or back off from the mike. You're SHOUTING!!!!!!

  • 2/5 Mike U. 4 years ago on Google
    If bloke heavy sports bars festooned with TV screens showing random sport highlights are your thing, then you'll love this bar. If you look a little bit different it may not be so welcoming, but the bar staff and security were pleasant. It's open lateish. It serves beer. It's not all bad but I won't be returning
