    One of the prettiest bars in the East end. Nice atmosphere and an interesting cocktail menu. Prices for cocktails range from 8 to 10 but some of them are small and not strong enough for my liking. Not many beer choices on tap. There are a few food options like toasties for £5 and a mini cheese board for £6. Staff are friendly.

    Have been here a few times and always had a good time. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Great list of drinks, something to suit everyone. Cocktails can change so you never know what you will be surprised with. They will work with you to suit your needs too. Had a couple of toasties when I was there and they hit the spot. They do bingo events which I highly recommend too. Overall a hidden gem in Glasgow and well worth a visit.

    What a pub. The service is exquisite - the staff clearly care about what they’re doing here and will chat away to you, which is lovely. The drinks are incredible - the cocktails are really well thought out and there’s a decent range behind the bar. The cheese toastie was a wonderful surprise. They also do good pop-ups too, which I’d like to visit. All in all - hidden gem. Please visit!

    This is single handle the best place to drink in the east end! Easy. You go in and you are already taken..a yellow light guiding you through the door, staff awaiting at the end, very friendly staff, a great quirky and stylish place inside..the design is just so amazing, brick walls, leather sofas..perfection. there are cocktails whiskies and you can find ciders too, few beers and non alcoholic stuff. Few things to eat on the menu too. I recommend you try it out! Good vibes only

    You can not go wrong with this gem of a pub. The staff are outstandingly good - the cocktails are exquisite and the olives to die for! Can not recommend this place enough for a cosy atmosphere, great music and generally just a great time.

    Great staff who know their cocktails - ask for the cognac espresso martini! Great atmosphere,v unfussy and hidden gem in the East End Update - new staff and I think new owners, still the same great cocktails.

    Fabulous bar with stunning decor and the friendliest and kindest staff. They are so knowledgeable about all the cocktails and very helpful. We really enjoyed our glass of bubbles to celebrate our last night of our honeymoon. Always a joy to come here when we visit Glasgow, thank you!

    Went here because our daughter in law had got us a cocktail and toastie voucher as part of our Christmas. Didn’t know it existed before. What an absolute hidden gem! The manager and waiting staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful. They asked us what kind of base spirits we usually like and asked us to trust them to do us bespoke drinks. I can honestly say I have never had such nice cocktails as we were served here. Other customers super friendly and welcoming too. Cannot wait to return with friends to show this wonderful venue off to them.

    Great wee pub. Always forget it's there. Really nice staff, friendly atmosphere, lovely decor, good choice of drinks (even made us an off menu cocktail). What's not to like.

  • 5/5 Caoimhe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for some drinks before and after a gig at the Barrowlands and we were blown away by the excellent service. The pub is cosy and relaxing, staff are attentive, warm and friendly and the prices were reasonable too. I intend to come here before any gigs at the Barrowlands in future as it was just the perfect experience.

    Went for a King of Feasts kitchen pop up, the food was excellent, the drinks were excellent and the staff were warm, welcoming and super helpful and friendly.

  • 5/5 Patrick 10 months ago on Google
    Intimate bar with lovely staff who are passionate about their customers having a great time. Their knowledge of liquor and the value for money alone make this a worthwhile visit. Look forward to my next visit.

    The service here is so good, and you can even drink Aunt Roberta here, which must be rated five stars

  • 5/5 Claire C. 9 months ago on Google
    The best cocktail bar in Glasgow hands down. Amazing drinks and great service in a cool setting. They regularly do pop-up food weekends which are always worth a visit, but their regular menu and offering is 5 star on its own. Definitely recommend!
