Pub sympa mais souvent plein. Les bières sont pas mal. Pour manger je vous conseille de réserver ou d'essayer de trouver une place libre sous le préau à l'extérieur.
This pains me to write. This *used to be* my favourite pub in the area. They had great food, a great atmosphere, and a great and varied selection of beers -- lots of Williams Bros.' range, plus a great selection of guests. Until this past weekend, I hadn't been in for a few months, but had heard from friends that the menu had recently drastically changed for the worse, and that they'd dropped some regular guest beers they liked. I did not have food so couldn't comment on the former, but I was shocked to go to the bar and find on tap a selection of about a dozen IPAs and a handful of fruit beers/sours and lagers. That's not variety! Where are the bitters? The brown ales? The red ales? The stouts? Well, they did have Guinness, but ffs. My companion and I ended up getting a couple of darker Williams Bros. beers in *bottles*, in Williams Bros.' own pub. Add to this the fact that from about a year ago, the larger inside room seems to have somehow gotten much louder and more echoey than it used to be (I'm not sure how), and the fact that -- at least according to rumour -- if you get food they are now insisting on table service rather than having you order and pay at the bar like they used to, I'm not sure if I'll go back. Edit to respond: I was there two days ago (Sunday), and it was not busy. I think perhaps the echoey-ness of the back room might have been *because* it wasn't busy, so each individual voice was amplified? In any case, whatever red ale and bitter have apparently been on in the last 10 days were definitely not there two days ago. Perhaps they'd been finished and replaced with more IPAs? The barman told me the closest thing you had was a doppelbock, and this is confirmed by your menu as currently posted on your website. I am not familiar with 'UNTAPPED' and I think it is an odd choice to have your website refer customers to a third-party site without even linking to it. I searched and found an app called 'Untappd', but the information in it is not accessible without downloading it. I am not willing to download an app to check the menu of a pub. Thank you for the correction re: ownership.
Great bar, nice and tucked away, good beers. Very lively for a Monday, great to see
The food is extremely tasty, however, the Southern fried chicken thighs looked pathetic on the plate. Just 3 pieces of chicken and 2 dips. No side salad / garnish or anything. Wish I'd taken a photo, but we were so taken aback I forgot. Shame, as I said, the food was really tasty, but portions poor for the money. Good choice of beers and staff were great.
This is one of my favourite venues in Glasgow. I love the architecture, the outdoor space, the range of beers and the vibe in general. The staff are so friendly and helpful, never had anything but a great experience. One of the best!
Popped in for a couple of pints. Great selection of William's Bros beers as well as guest brewery's. Iron Brew definitely one to try. Dog friendly pub, and Calvin and Hobbes cartoon strips to read when you visit the facilities.
