Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a multi-million pound art gallery and museum located in Kelvingrove Park, close to other attractions such as the Riverside Museum, The Tall Ship, and the Hunterian Museum. The art gallery houses an astounding 9,000 artefacts and paintings across 22 themed galleries. There are also temporary exhibitions in addition to the permanent collections.
Amazing free museum! Quite an interesting diversity that will content everybody! Loved the paintings sections and the Dali painting which is - for me - the highlight of the collection! But a lot of other pieces of art from sculptures to videos or objects; the Egyptian section really seemed to attract a lot of people! Went to it twice cause it’s huge and it’s highly advised to go during the week where the place was a lot quieter!

I was stunned. The museum is beautiful outside and inside. Great collections (with Dali's Christ on the Cross on display) and lots to see and experience. It's completely free, so make sure to go! On Sunday there is an organ recital around noon, which was also cool to see and hear.

Want to see it all.....a full day might do it! So much to see and experience. Thank you to the people of Scotland for providing free access to this wonderful collection. Be sure to leave a donation in one of the boxes near each entry point!.... Try to be around for the short organ recital usually around 1 pm.

If you happen to be in Glasgow, there is one place that you should definitely not miss out on. It is a must-visit for anyone who loves beautiful architecture and unique museum pieces. The place I am talking about is completely free for the public to explore, making it a great option for those on a budget. The architecture of this place is truly breathtaking and is sure to leave you in awe. The museum piece on display there is one of a kind and definitely worth seeing. So, if you want to experience the best of Glasgow, be sure to check out this incredible place.

A favourite of mine. Love to spend time exploring and enjoying the beautiful pieces of art. There are many wonderful items to look at. There is a very nice cafe on the lower floor (or ground floor) if arriving using the back of museum. A must see If never visited. The architecture is also amazing

Small but varied art gallery. A really eclectic mix of things. The daily organ playing, the broad range of art and exhibits make this a really enjoyable place to visit. There are so many little things to see, but unlike some museums, it’s not overpowering.
A special mention should go to the cafe with stunning biscuits and short bread.
The staff were very polite.

This is one of the must see museum in Glasgow. It is a massive museum with magnificent art pieces and sculptures. The history of war and our forefathers is education itself. I visited it during Christmas time and just outside this museum an ice skating rink was set up for winter and it was awesome.

Spectacular building… worth a peak just to see the main halls …
I was only really interested in the Macintosh section, which was good… but there seems to be a really nice selection of artefacts/ items across a huge range of topics. Nicely curated….

Walked through quickly. Great place for kids and souvenir shoppers. Very eclectic. The organ player was entertaining a crowd as we entered. An eclectic grouping grouping of collectibles. The museum is free with a donation box at the entrance. There is a cafe on the main level and a restaurant on the lower level. Both were crowded when we visited.

Huge museum, i was impressed about the building how big it is. Divided by 2 side and 2 colors, i think we spent at least 4 h just to see every room. If you have passion for art this is your place to visit.

Free entry to an architecturally stunning building. The contents inside this building is also wonderful. I could easily spend the day in here. On a sunny day, you can sit outside on the grass and enjoy a picnic. A cheap, but very cultural first date location. I highly recommend going if you’re visiting Glasgow.

An excellent day out in Glasgow. This museum and art gallery is a must for all ages. Very good exhibitions. The cost of a visit is free but they do ask for a donation which is no hardship at all. Got the subway there which is only a 5 min walk away.

Great selection of art, history and culture. Museum has free entry and is a great location to learn more about the city and the history. Good selection of exhibits. Would make a great day out for kids. Allow at least 2 hours for the visit. One of the best museums in Glasgow.

Free entry, fantastic art gallery and museum. Could have spent days! Volunteer staff are fantastic - I recommend dropping your bags off to enjoy the gallery and museum more.
Many famous works to see - and I was lucky enough to be in the museum when the organ was played!
If I have to make one comment, perhaps an alternative lighting method for Christ of St John of the Cross. Spotlights are too bright!

If you are interested in learning more about Scotland and Glasgow this is a good starting point. It’s a proud nation and has had a rich history to prove that. It may not be comparable to the museums in terms of size, you found in London, the exhibits are no less significant.

Absolutely wonderful museum and art gallery. For me the most stunning part is the building itself. Outside is good but inside is spectacular.
Very helpful and friendly guides. No charge to enter except for special exhibitions. Quite similar to the Natural History museum in London but with art.
We spent a few hours here and could easily have doubled it. Will be going back for more, that’s for certain!

It’s so impressive. We attended the Sunday organ recital. It’s incredible that the organ sound hits you right as you enter the main hall on the ground floor. Children play and dance to organ music. The art and all artefacts are beautiful and help to experience history in an engaging and fun way!

Animal exhibits were a wonder to walk through and the paintings they had on display in the art section were amazing. There was a video on loop about the restoration and preservation of painting which was fascinating. I plan on going back and listening to the Organ recital live.

Spent an afternoon here after taking the train in from Edinburgh. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are cute shops nearby as well as inside the museum full of neat trinkets and keepsakes coinciding with the current exhibits. Kelvingrove has quite the assortment of things to see--from natural history to fine art, and even some modern exhibitions.

I have been visiting Kelvingrove since I was a little girl, and it isn't a trip to Glasgow if you don't visit the Gallery. I took my two year old son here for the second time, and he absolutely loved it. There is so much to look at and lots of interactive parts for the kids and adults. There are some of the most beautiful art available to see here. A brilliant cafe and gift shop too!

What an amazing structure, so much detail puts modern buildings to shame.
The exhibits were fantastic too and everyone was very helpful with directions
There is a wee cafe within, however, we did not use.
Toilet facilities were easily located and very clean

3.5 stars, it was a great free attraction in a gorgeous building but felt the exhibits inside were outdated and not as interactive as had anticipated. Some of the paintings are beautiful, and i particularly comend the ones of Scotland, but felt the museum side of things let it down. Wouldn’t visit again, but pleased I have. Felt the informatiom could had been more descriptive to help understand the history behind the art.
Katie Glover — Google review
Free entry to revisit the past. The gallery starts with Scottish arts and then takes you through past histories carefully collected from around the world. It has an animal section which might interest kids. If you happen to be there around 1pm, do not miss the piano performance by the hall. Amazing experience!

Great experience for the kids. So much to learn about and explore. To top it all off, it's free and very close to public transportation, which gets you to the city center within 10 minutes.

The Glasgow Necropolis is a cemetery containing the graves & mausoleums of prominent Glaswegians of the day. It is one of the most significant cemeteries in Europe and is well worth a visit on a dark and gloomy day to capture its beauty fully.
A lovely place for a walk and views in the heart of the city.
I would recommend to someone with mobility issues as the walk to the top is steep however there's plenty to see at all levels.
Great location for also experiencing the St Mungo Museum and the Cathedral, with plenty of eateries and pubs close by also.
Natalie Howard-Sinclair — Google review
Stunning and very remarkable. This place is an absolute must to visit in Glasgow.
It's located on the top of a steep hill just by side/behind of the Cathedral.
There are many interesting graves from different times, including tombstones and crypts.
The view from the too is spectacular so even if not interested in the cemetery itself, the breathtaking views can definitely compensate the visitors for it. It's pretty much a 360° view, so the whole city and its peripheral areas are nicely visible.
It's very unique, therefore I can only recommend visiting it.
Rich?rd V?mossy — Google review
The Glasgow Necropolis offers a captivating blend of history, architecture, and tranquility, making it a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Glasgow. The pros of visiting this iconic cemetery include its stunning Gothic architecture, providing a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls and photography enthusiasts alike. Additionally, the Necropolis offers panoramic views of the city skyline, offering a unique perspective on Glasgow's landscape. However, potential cons might include limited accessibility for those with mobility issues due to the hilly terrain, and the somber atmosphere may not appeal to all visitors. Despite these considerations, The Glasgow Necropolis remains a fascinating and culturally significant site worth exploring for its historical and architectural significance.

Tremendous experience - especially in spring. Blossoms everywhere! If you walk up on the top, there is a very nice view on the city. If you want to calm down, to read a book or bring your Date here it’s the perfect spot!

This is the first time I am seeing this kind of a cemetery with fancy tombstones. You will get a good view of Glasgow city from the top. It’s a must visit.
Nathasha Wijesinghe — Google review
Ok place to visit but missing the calmness of a regular cemetery. Also hoed for some really old mausoleum or grave stones but nothing below 1800ish dates, a bit crowded for a cemetery. Right next to the cathedral which is way more interesting and has older shrines and stuff:)
ZoltanoMoltano — Google review
Beautiful. I love walking around regular cemeteries but this is something entirely different.
Prepare for lots of uphill walking and stairs but worth it. The view from the top is everything! And some of the most beautiful headstones and memorials are there. I wish I’d had another hour to keep walking round but it was a bit too cold and wet that day. I will go back for sure.

We were blessed with a sunny afternoon as we explored the Necropolis. Parking close by, just follow the signs for cathedral parking. Free to wander around. Fantastic views of Glasgow and Glasgow Cathedral which is also free to visit and well worth it.

One of the loveliest necropolis' I've come across. Worth a trip just for the walk but also the amazing large and carved monuments. We spent about 30 minutes walking around and still didn't see all of it. Would love to come back again one day.

The place is enchanting. I like to visit a good cemetery and this one delivers! We only walked a little bit of it and during the beginning we ran into some girls who asked us where the exit was because they were lost. Luckily we were right by it. The paths are windy and don’t go where they seem. We had water and snacks. So many steps to go up .

The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery which dates back to the year 1832. The cemetery, as most early Victorian cemeteries, is laid out as an informal park further enhanced by the complex topography. The cemetery's paths meander uphill towards the summit, where the larger monuments stand, clustered around the John Knox Monument. A visit needed only if you have time at hand, the view of cathedral is picturesque.
Varun Govind — Google review
Monumental and peaceful place in Glasgow next to medieval cathedral. Place full of history and nostalgia at the same time. When you climb on the hill you will get an amazing view on Glasgow city and different view on majestic cathedral. It is worth to visit this area when in Glasgow. Recommend also for walks.

Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland, established in 1832. It is the final resting place of over 50,000 people, including notable figures such as John Knox, William Miller, James Cleland Richardson and Sir William Arrol . The cemetery is situated on a hill overlooking the city and is a popular tourist attraction due to its impressive architecture and historical significance. While it is no longer used for traditional burials, ashes can still be interred in existing family lairs.

When I asked a young woman what I should see in Glasgow, she instantly replied The Necropolis. And wow she was right. The history, the view, the quiet power of the place is amazing. Take a stroll around the headstones and you will be totally transported to another time. Look across the little valley to the Cathedral and University, or down to the whole city of Glasgow, all so amazingly beautiful.

Out of the three cemeteries in Edinburgh that I saw this by far beat any of those. It is a beautiful walk up with incredible gravestones to look at with exciting beautiful views of the city. This is a must when you visit Glasgow.

Amazing place. Good walk, with stunning views over Glasgow and beyond. Very popular with tourists and locals alike. Impressive architecture and design. On street parking available. Free parking on a Sunday. Will visit again as even a few hours is not enough to see everything. A million pictures wouldn't do it justice.

A wonderful walk and high view of Glasgow. Add this to your list of places to visit. The pathway up is a nice gradual climb, don’t be intimidated. Once at the top if you can time a semi clear or clear sunset the views are amazing you can see for miles. It’s of course a peaceful walk around the cemetery, viewing the beautiful headstones are also worth viewing along with the city views.

A tomb with a view. Glasgow Necropolis is gothic and beautiful. I spent hours with my Canon exploring the 300 acres of ancient mausoleums and grave stones.
Big Nick — Google review
A reflective and melancholic site. There are few places in Glasgow that evoke the same quiet aged serenity as the monuments and spires in Edinburgh. This is a very notable exception. Come here early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Feel the immense mystic silence as you cross the weighty bridge that seems to separate the living from the deceased. Seeing spiralling rows of graves ranging from the humble to the ostentatious, one feels the immense scale of time and the ultimate unity of our destinies. Groves of ivy cover older tombstones, yet the presences of the dead are still palpable here.

One of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever visited.
There are a lot of uphills and downhills. So, take that into consideration before visiting.
The Riverside Museum of Transport is a hyper-modern museum with collections of historic vehicles and state-of-the-art interactive displays. It is popular with visitors of all ages, and is home to more than 3,000 objects that date back to the 1890s. The museum is a world-famous architect Zaha Hadid design, and its focus on transportation makes it a must-see for anyone interested in Glasgow's history.
The museum is superb. The unique and antique display units are very attractive. The entry is free, that is the most important thing. You can spend hours or maybe a day being here. It has beautiful scenery outside also. There is tall ship at the outside of building, that is my most favorite one. You can buy drinks and snacks inside the museum with very reasonable price. I am sure that I will never get bored visiting the Riverside Museum.

It was an automatically delightful experience! We had been there with family and all of us enjoyed our time there. It was great to see and read about the history of automobiles ranging from the bicycle to the car and even public transportation. You need 2-3 hours to walk through the whole museum. Kids will surely like it. A great way to spend your weekend!

This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. I was really impressed as I was visiting from the U.S. this museum had amazing exhibits and a large variety of different objects from trains to cars to motorcycles to ships. Wow great job putting this together. The admission was free but a donation is requested. My next trip I will be back because I haven’t seen everything. There was a duo playing music while I was there and they were great. The hop on hop off bus also stops in front of the museum. This is a definite place to visit when in Glasgow don’t miss it.

Really good museum - loads to see and do. The Tall Ship was great. My 4 year old enjoyed the stories in the shops, and the pretend vehicles she could sit in. Cafe was fine. Only issue was the excessive heat, and the fact that the cloakroom was closed due to covid.

A fantastic beautifully designed museum with 1,000's of exhibits in the collection of many different types of transport. Traction engine, tube train carriage, bus, fire engine, tram, steam train, bicycles, motorbikes, numerous superb classic cars as well as toys, fashion, recreated street scene and shops. You could easily spend half a day here. Also has a souvenir shop and a nice cafe. It was lovely to see and hear lots of children enjoying themselves and being interested in the vehicles.

An amazing museum, we visited in a summer holiday, and was amazed by the pure scale of these trains and locos. There is plenty to look at, and learn about and its super interactive!

If you like history, then this would be a good place for you. The riverside museum presents transport history. You see trains, bikes, cars, ships. I quite liked it. There's also a nice Cafe and decent toilet facilities. Nice ambience. You can also go round the building to the waterside which was quite nice and I presume will be nicer during the summer. Entry is free but you need to pay for parking. I however noticed that parking was more expensive than presented on their website.

Amazing museum and exquisite display of cars and different modes of transportation: mostly from the past. Great place for kids to spend the afternoon. It’s free admissions. Also beautiful architecture of the building, close to the river and with incredible views of the city beyond. Good place to spend an afternoon.

This is a very comprehensive museum of modern science of transport, with quite a few interactive displays where kids can enjoy themselves all around. Displays are very detailed and showing amazing replicas (in many cases originals) of objects from the past. As a bonus, entry is free which does make a difference for bigger families. Easily couple of hours of well spent family time. Totally recommended.

As well as being free and very well maintained, it's extremely large, with different scenes for different eras, so I had stars in my eyes.
If you're ever in Glasgow, don't miss it, I didn't think I'd be interested in transport, but it's a trip back in time. Every city should have a museum like this one, I've fallen in love with it!

It’s a bit hard to summarise this museum’s eclectic collection. My best effort: A great collection of historic transport machines. A combination of cars, trams, trains, boats, bikes and metro
On top an old English city street is rebuild.
A must visit for the younger engineers thanks to its interactivity as well as their parents who are interested in technology

Great museum. Free entry.
I recently visited the Riverside Museum, and it was a great experience. The museum offers a diverse collection of transportation history, from vintage cars to old trams, and even a tall ship. The interactive displays and well-preserved exhibits were fascinating. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is that some areas were not working well. Nevertheless, it's a must-visit for anyone interested in Glasgow's transportation heritage."

I tend to go to the riverside museum to see the cars as I love classic cars. I also love seeing the street with the fake shops which is a great experience.

The Riverside Museum is a great spot for history buffs, especially those interested in transportation. Inside, you'll find an array of exhibits showcasing trains, bicycles, cars, and ships, providing a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of transportation over the years. The atmosphere is enjoyable, with a cozy café where you can grab a snack or drink, and the restroom facilities are well-maintained. Additionally, the museum offers a pleasant outdoor experience, with a waterfront area where you can stroll and enjoy the scenery, particularly appealing in the summer months. While entry to the museum is free, it's worth noting that the cost of parking may be higher than advertised on their website, so it's something to keep in mind when planning your visit.

We had a great time at this museum. There is so much here it would be hard to get it done in one visit much less than a few.
I enjoyed the interactivity of it all. My toddler loved playing with everything. The trains, buses, firefighter hook & ladder, subway, and so much more.
I enjoyed going through the recreated town. It was like walking into a blast from the way distant past. Each exhibit had either a panel with more info of a nice video.
Outside you can go into a ship and see many different things inside and outside. My daughter loves it
We did eat at the cafe and I found it to be a bit pricey and the food was overcooked a bit.
Overall this is a really cool place and hope we can comeback some day.
The Glasgow Cathedral is a beautiful and historic building that is popular with tourists. It is one of the oldest cathedrals in Scotland, and its interior is filled with colorful stained glass windows and other interesting features. The cathedral also contains the tomb of St Mungo, which makes it an important location in Scottish history.
There isn't an entry fee into Glasgow Cathedral but believe me you won't hesitate putting money into the donation box on your way out. It is a magnificent place to visit.
The cathedral is breathtaking when you first see it, perfectly positioned with the graves on a steep hill behind it.
There are plenty people around to ask about different things. It is like a tardis with room after room and on different levels. I will let the pictures do the talking, I couldn't do it justice. Give yourself plenty time to see everything.
Susan Hampson — Google review
This is free entry and easily accessible entrance. Take note there are no toilets on the premises, the closest ones are a 5 minute walk away and cost 20p.
The cathedral itself benefits from limited numbers for each 30 minute entry, you can book tickets ahead of time for your slot. We went during the Easter holidays and didnt have any queueing but it depends if you want to risk it. There is an audio guide (costs) and this helps to walk you through the rich history including the very early King James bible (on show).

A hidden gem since there is so much emphasis on Edinburgh. Glasgow's Cathedral is rich in history and beauty, and the free guides shepherding our visit is memorable. He loved the Cathedral and it was evident. You can spend as long as you want but you need to allow a good hour for the guide. Well worth a day trip on the train over from Edinburgh.

Pretty cathedral, shame about the neon signs used inside too, I assume, make it more trendy. They only detract from the historic building in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you are a fan of Outlander as it has been used heavily in the filming.

Well worth the stop and close by to the necropolis (graveyard on the hill). Both will take you about 2 hours combined. The architecture of the building was beautiful. They have clearly tried to maintain the essence of the original style while also keeping the cathedral in good condition.
Free admission with some donations to help keep the history preserved.

Loved the views here and the walk around the cathedral! They were closed that day to outside visitors, so I wish they would have posted that on the website. It’s free to get in, but many people, including myself, made plans to tour it that day and there was just a sign outside saying no one could go in.

Glasgow Cathedral is an absolute must-visit attraction in Scotland! This stunning medieval cathedral has been standing for over 800 years, and its rich history and architecture are truly awe-inspiring. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained-glass windows, and intricate stone carvings.
The cathedral's history is deeply rooted in the city's heritage, and it's fascinating to learn about its connections to Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow. The cathedral has survived wars, fires, and other challenges, and its resilience and beauty are a testament to the skill and dedication of its builders.
As I explored the cathedral, I was impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of reverence that pervades the space. The cathedral is still an active place of worship, and it's clear that it holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Glasgow.
Some of the highlights of my visit included seeing the stunning nave, the ornate tombs and memorials, and the beautiful chapel of Saint Mungo. I also enjoyed learning about the cathedral's connections to the Knights Templar and the Order of the Thistle.
Overall, my visit to Glasgow Cathedral was an unforgettable experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the history, culture, and beauty of Scotland. If you're visiting Glasgow, make sure to add this incredible cathedral to your itinerary - you won't be disappointed!

Impressive cathedral set in a dramatic location below the hill top commentary. Easy walking distance from the CBD for both Cathedral and Necropolis. The exterior belies the richness of the interior.

It's a must see. I've been in Glasgow for years. And never have I been in the Cathedral. Amazing. I need to go back. We didn't have enough time to see it all properly but what we did see was fantastic. Huge. Definitely a must see for locals and tourists alike.

I didn't get the privilege of going inside, but this cathedral is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. It looked absolutely incredible at night, the lights complementing the articulate design of the roof and exterior of the structure.
Going to the necropolis gives a particularly great view of the cathedral from afar.

I never came inside since I did not have the time, but I did not need to. Having seen so many elaborate and enchanting cathedrals across Scotland that lay in ruins after the chaos and turmoil of the Reformation I am very thrilled in relieved that this one survives. It feels like a sanctuary, a mysterious and vast place of profound peace and calm. Coming close to it gives the visceral thrill of being in the presence of something unspeakably ancient, the collective will and passion of an age that has now receded to the world of legends and ghosts. In the soft autumn light between rows of gnarled trees with golden leaves, it looks particularly appropriate.

I enjoyed wandering around the cathedral, particularly the lower church. I was greeted at the entrance, but I feel it would have been helpful for the person at the door to offer information about how to get the best out of the visit.
I discovered later that there's an audio tour.
There are also volunteer guides but they ignored me when I went to their desk and carried on their conversation. Later I tried to get the attention of one of them but, again, was ignored. So I ended up walking around and reading the information.
It's an interesting place and very atmospheric.

At last, I visited the cathedral and it was a great experience. You can visit this place for free. The place was crowded when I visited. If you are a history buff then there is a lot to explore here and that can consume lots of time, so it's always better to plan and come. I was surprised by the massive size of this cathedral, a feature not commonly found in modern cathedrals. There are spacious undergrounds inside the cathedral and that was a mind-blowing experience.

Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, Glasgow Cathedral is a must-visit destination in Scotland's vibrant cityscape.

Glasgow Cathedral stands as a magnificent testament to Scotland's rich history and architectural prowess, drawing visitors with its awe-inspiring Gothic design and centuries-old relics. The pros of visiting this iconic landmark include its stunning stained glass windows, intricate stonework, and serene atmosphere, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Additionally, guided tours are often available, offering insight into the cathedral's fascinating history and cultural significance. However, potential cons might include occasional crowds during peak tourist seasons, which can detract from the tranquil ambiance, and limited accessibility for those with mobility challenges due to uneven terrain and staircases. Despite these considerations, Glasgow Cathedral remains a captivating destination for travelers seeking to delve into Scotland's rich heritage and architectural marvels.

The Glasgow School of Art is a renowned university-level art school that offers courses in design and architecture. The Mackintosh building, which is under restoration following a 2014 fire, is one of Mackintosh's most famous designs.
I'm happy to share my experience at The Glasgow School of Art! The institution's commitment to delivering high-quality education is evident in every aspect. As a student specializing in design, I have found it to be a great place to learn and connect with outstanding lecturers with a lot of both practical and theoretical experience. Even as a first-year student who joined as an advanced learner from year 3, I've been thoroughly enjoying every moment and discussion with my tutors. The classes are of great quality, providing valuable insights and fostering practical learning. It's been a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend The Glasgow School of Art for anyone seeking an enriching and fulfilling education in design.

This institution has hit rock bottom. Everything is mismanaged and incredibly disorganized. The people here are very dishonest and every interaction with this school has been incredibly frustrating; they do not take students seriously at all. Complete waste of money.
I highly do not recommend attending this institution. Anyone interested in applying should first look for recent student reviews online.

What a great historical building with very knowledgeable and convivial students. The building was designed by the famous architect mackintosh. The building is very beautiful. It would be better if we could see the studios with their huge north windows witch was a shame. Over all great experience would go again sometime. Leave a like please 👍🏻
Kyle Lynch — Google review
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour by a very knowledgeable and convivial student. My only gripe was that we weren't allowed to see the actual studios with their huge north facing windows which was a shame as I suspect this is one of the best features of the building. I guess you can't have tourists disturbing the students but still. Otherwise this is an impressive and unusual building.

One of the places to see on a Glasgow visit if you are interested in C. R. Mackintosh. Paid £7 for a 45 minutes tour. It supports the restoration of the original building which caught fire in 2014. It was a Hungarian student in her final year who conducted the tour. It was a pleasure listening to her. Loved the anecdote about the chair from the tea room on Sauchiehall.

Beautiful building. Hope to see it back to its best ASAP. I was lucky to visit here before it’s first fire and it really is a sensational building inside and out. Such a massive piece of history for Glasgow and the world.
It’s a must visit for anyone visiting Glasgow once it’s back to it proper state.
Housed in an historic mansion, the Wedding Venue House for an Art Lover features beautiful backdrops for photographs and is perfect for creatives. It's located just minutes from the city centre.
House for an Art Lover is a special venue especially for a wedding. I recently attended a wedding at the House of an Art Lover and the staff where excellent all day and night. The venue is absolutely beautiful especially on a wedding day. The food throughout was great and it seemed everyone enjoyed their meal. I believe they have tours on so I will be going back up to get the info on the history of the venue and maybe see some rooms we did not see at the wedding.

It is worth checking in advance that the house is open and there isn't a private event.

Worth visiting to see how a Mackintosh building can be realized today. Just because the architect was not alive when it was built doesn’t mean that it’s not a Mackintosh building (from my perspective). The grounds are pleasant and you can get a good view of all sides of the building. The second floor was not accessible but the rest of the house was.

Lovely, friendly staff. Good menu choices, might be a bit fancy for some tastes.
The building itself, designed and built by Charles Rennie Macintosh is wonderful. Fabulous venue for weddings, I've been to two, both excellent.
Great gift shop for all things Scottish and more.
Beautiful walled garden (maybe stick to summer visits) with seating areas and ever changing floral vistas.
I would highly recommend a visit

House for an Art Lover is one of my favourite places to visit in Glasgow. The House itself is just divine. We were lucky enough to have our wedding ceremony and reception here and to have the opportunity to see the inside of the house at night time felt so special. It takes on a whole other life.
On our Big Day, the staff were wonderful, our fully vegan menu was to die for and received endless praise, even from our non-vegan (and often skeptical) guests!
I would definitely recommend this place for your wedding. Excellent value for money. Wonderful memories made.

Mixed feelings about this one: definitely worth a visit… the story of how it came about is lovely. Design was nice to see, but on closer inspection things were starting to look at bit knocked-about and not made of the quality materials Macintosh certainly would have envisaged. I may be wrong, but I thought I saw quite a bit of painted plywood?

Amazing place, so lovely with simply the most stunningly beautiful Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired decoration & designs.
We were there for my nephews wedding it was a fabulous day in gorgeous surroundings.
If you are looking for a wedding venue in Glasgow then honestly go and have a look I am sure you won't be disappointed.
Wedding food was well catered, and delicious. The downstairs where the band was, was a little small but then you can't have everything and you didn't really notice it after a while.
Make sure to book a taxi in advance for carriages at midnight!

Attended here for a reception following a family funeral. Staff all very courteous and professional. Food was lovely and the rooms allocated were very pleasant. Only negative point is the state of the roads around the building and particularly at the entrance with huge potholes waiting to trap your car wheels. Would like a return at some point to see everything the place has to offer its visitors.
The Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a 27-acre park that offers a variety of plants and wildlife, as well as an impressive glasshouse. With summer just around the corner, it's a great place to explore without being stuck inside.
Used the clockwork orange train and had a 5 minute walk to the gardens. It's free and well worth a visit. The glass houses are spacious but wouldn't be suitable for wide pushchairs prams or mobility scooters due to the space between the plant exhibits.
The formal gardens are well signposted and there are cafe facilities too

The Botanic gardens is a great place to come and relax for a few hours. Only 7 minutes walk from Hillhead underground and you come to a well maintained park with multiple footpaths winding there way through the multitude of plants, lawns and trees. The star of this part is definitely the two large greenhouses housing plants, ferns, palms, trees etc. from across the world. Great opportunity to learn more about plants from each of the continents.
The park has both toilets and a nice little place to grab a coffee, some cake or a sandwich. Would highly recommend this as a place to visit.

We had a quick trip to Glasgow before we checked-in our cabin and decided to visit Glasgow Botanic Gardens.

Small-ish when compared to say Glasgow Greens, but there are 2 very well cared for Greenhouses, clean facilities and plenty of space to sit or lie down among the greenery. A few dogs on leashes. Food and drink available on site. No parking that I saw, but easy to walk to from the subway or anywhere you found to park. Oh and free 😊

Free attraction where you can spend between a couple hours and a whole day. The outside area has about 2 miles of trails with various plants, trees, a rose garden, a historical section, a big lawn, and benches. There's a restaurant as well as a food wagon. There's a playground. There are two greenhouse buildings with a number of separate rooms in each with flora and fauna from every continent except Antarctica. There's also a path down to the River Kelvin.

Very relaxing place to go for a long walk. Plenty of paths to walk around, also walk next to the riverside and beautiful greenhouses filled with the most amazing plants and are all free to visit. For me, the only downside was that it was way too full of people, but it is a big city, it was weekend and the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so that is totally understandable. Dogs are also allowed in the garden, but not in the greenhouses.

Don’t you just love the botanics? There’s nothing quite like lazing about in the grass here on a late summer’s afternoon, when the suns getting low and the air is at that perfect temperature.

A small coffee place on the entrance is all you need for a nice cold weather to visit this place. Will visit again.
The Hunterian Art Gallery is an eclectic art and artifact collection housed within the Mackintosh House, a replica of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's home. The gallery features works from all over the world, ranging from meteorites to mummies, and is a must-see for fans of Scottish design.
A must visit for lovers of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The interior reconstruction of his Glasgow house is spectacular, the effect of the light amazing. It's small but the exhibition on it and it's rebuild within the Hunterian is fascinating

The Hunterian Gallery is right next to the Macintosh Museum. The Macintosh museum is not free but the Gallery is. The Gallery has a variety of exhibits from classic art to modern paintings and sculptures and performances. At the time they also had a Mary Queen of Scots themed exhibition. The Macintosh Museum is a recreation of the original house the artist lived in. It is an excellent way to get an impression of the unique style of the artist. A must see for all design interested.

The University of Glasgow is an ancient and world-renowned university located in the heart of Glasgow. Its beautiful Gothic architecture is a must-see on any tourist itinerary in Glasgow.

The University of Glasgow holds a special appeal for both Harry Potter fans and science enthusiasts.
For Harry Potter fans, the University's Cloisters bear a striking resemblance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Gothic architecture and atmospheric corridors evoke a sense of magic, making it a must-visit location for Potterheads. Additionally, it's worth noting that J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, studied at the University of Glasgow, adding an extra layer of significance for fans.
For science enthusiasts, the University of Glasgow has a rich scientific heritage. It's known for its pioneering research and contributions to various fields, including physics, medicine, and engineering. The university is home to notable scientists like Lord Kelvin and Joseph Lister, whose groundbreaking work has had a significant impact on the world of science.
Visiting the University of Glasgow offers a unique blend of magical charm and scientific legacy, making it a compelling attraction for both Harry Potter aficionados and those passionate about the pursuit of knowledge and innovation.

Studying at Glasgow University was a memorable experience for me, even though I missed the chance to wear a gown and toss a cap due to the pandemic situation. I mean, I did get my degree via the post office, and it hasn’t served me much maybe that was sign 😅. Glasgow University is not only beautiful, but also friendly. I have travelled a lot in Europe and the world, and I can say that Glasgow is on my top 10 friendliest and nicest cities to live in.
The university has some modern facilities, but I was more drawn to the old buildings that have a lot of history and charm. The university also has a great vibe for learning and growing. However, I wish that universities, not just this one, would do more to help students who are new to the country or the campus feel less lonely (unless they prefer solitude). It can be hard for some students, especially introverts, to make friends and adjust to a new environment. But don’t worry, it gets easier with time… I just wish universities could speed up this process.
Now, If you are thinking of studying there, I have three pieces of advice for you: 1. Start working on your assignments early, don’t procrastinate because the library gets crowded on the deadline week. 2. Visit the student services if you need any support with your studies or anything else, don’t be shy, they are there to help you. 3. Do your best, but don’t stress over grades… in the real world, most people don’t care about them anyway. Find your balance in life, my friend, and above all, good luck. You can do it!

As a tourist, University of Glasgow is a mediaeval treat to the eyes. The place looks absolutely majestic, and the buildings look straight out of a 1500s royal historic place. There is a place to relax on the grass, and one could visit this place after a hike and stroll from the Arthur's seat. If you follow the water trail, you can also find yourself walking/running/jogging alongside the river.
The Tenement House is an old Glasgow tenement that has been preserved as a museum, providing an insight into the everyday lives of people in the early 20th century. The property includes original fixtures and fittings, and there are hands-on opportunities for children to explore.
Coming from Glasgow we've tried but never managed to visit. Till today. Go, it's great. The flat has many things inside from the belongings of woman who lived there from the early 1900's. It takes you back to times of my gran and her tenement flat. Lots to read and see. Amazed the way she formally wrote to her friends using their surname not their Christian name. As there are stairs up to the front door and also up the the main living area, not good for anybody on unsteady feet. We got in using my Nat Trust Scot card. It's not expensive. Chatted to the 2 ladies on the first floor who are full of interesting bits of information. There are modern toilets at reception.
Glasgow flat remaining in the past.
Go and visit

Visited this historic place and found it quite fascinating. They have kept in tack living conditions over 60 years ago going back to the late 19th century. Very well done with lots of information about this period and how people lived and managed their daily activities. The attendants were well informed and very helpful as we had many questions. History buffs will find this place interesting and should not pass it up.

There's not many rooms but they are so many little details and objects to take in, even her last delivery of coal still sitting there unused. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgeable and gave even more history and happy to answer questions. I would highly recommend stopping in as it only takes about an hour, and for £8.50 which I feel is really good value to help look after this fantastic museum.

Fascinating insight into the life of someone who lived in Glasgow back then. Such an interesting visit if you love local history. Volunteers and staff were so so lovely and knowledgeable, I cannot rate them high enough.

Turned up just after 2 pm. The parking is on the street and cost me £2.00 for 1.5 hours. I got to the door and was greeted by one of the staff, who was very friendly and helpful. There are two flights. On the bottom floor is the information section and on the second floor is the house. I was taken aback by how remarkable it was. Taking a step back in time is an understatement. It was so surreal and mind blown. The ladies who presented it well with their knowledge and passion for what they do. I recommend you check it out. You will not be disappointed.

We visited on a Saturday and bought tickets at the door. Not too busy, given it was half term and a really nice experience. The information boards explain the history of Glasgow really nicely. Staff were passionate and knowledgeable and answered most of our questions.

Learning about history and traditions was nice. Feels very original and untouched. Essential for any tenement fan.
Original gas lightning meant it was dark in winter but brought a realistic feel to it. Wish there was a bit more to see in the dwellings.
The scale models on entry which shows the refurbishment over the years were super educational.

Here affords you a great chance to immerse in a Victorian middle-class family’s apartment vividly. The history in Glasgow becomes touchable. The voluntary docent was very friendly and helpful when we visited on a sunny afternoon. However, It's a very pocket-sized attraction, and if you're not a history buff, you might think it's not worth paying for it.

There is limited street parking but we parked at the Q carpark and it was a 10 minute walk. The tenement house was a real suprise. The ground floor has the reception and the girl on the desk was very cheerful. The toilets are at the reception and across the hall way at the self service cafe. The first floor is where Miss Toward flat is. Before you go in you get to ring the bell and the staff great you. The first thing you will notice is how dark it is as they still use gas lights. The rooms haven't been touched and it is like stepping back in time. When you come out it can take minute or two to adjust your eyes to the light. The room across has letter that she wrote and it gives you a small glimpse of her life. The staff are very friendly and will answer any questions you have about Miss Toward and her property.

Fantastic bit of Glasgow history. Truly remarkable collection for locals and tourists to enjoy. The staff knowledge is excellent. I had a lovely time chatting with the volunteer Marjorie who clearly had a lot of passion for this exhibition and enhanced the whole experience for me. I will be back to visit again for sure.

A National Trust for Scotland site, so if you're English National Trust members, you also get in for free.
Really interesting introduction exhibition downstairs, before going upstairs to see the rooms of the house. Great ambience, and smell due to the gas lighting.
You may think you won't spend long here due to only having 4 small rooms to visit, but there's so much detail in those room and the volunteers who work there are so adorably chatty, sharing their stories of life living in or visiting a Tenement House, that you'll end up spending well over an hour here. Great place to visit if you're wanting to learn about local history and culture.

Well preserved historical one bed apartment. Worth a visit if in Glasgow city centre but, being small, it does not take much time to view and read the information panels. It is a relatively well to do apartment not really representative of working class tenement living in single end apartments

This is a wonderful glimpse into life in Glasgow in the early 20th century/late 19th. The different rooms show how a middle class family lived, and how different it was to today.
The guides are wonderful and happy to answer questions and give you little insights. The cost is not too high to get in, and just make sure not to touch anything.

Very interesting wee museum. It is a glimpse in the history of glasgow.

The Tall Ship Glenlee in Glasgow, Scotland is a beautifully restored three-masted steel-hulled barque that is perfect for those looking for maritime-themed things to do in the city. Visitors can board and view the ship, learning about its maritime story while transporting you to a time when high seas were a part of everyday life in Glasgow.
The Tall Ship is located in the Riverside Museum. The ship is legend and in very superb condition. She is so amazing, and I am so excited to explore inside the ship. You can also find many interesting things in the ship, also very good spot for taking pictures. This place is accessible from the city of Glasgow, you can take bus, train or hop on hop off bus.

It was a fabulous place to stand on! The sightseeing value is immense. It's not exactly accessible I would say. It's slippery also due to the rains and the atmosphere of the location - near the waters. It's cozy. The visit on the ship is free. Just be careful and hold onto something!!

The tall ship Glenlee museum is located near the riverside museum. The museum is clean , provides friendly service and it’s very educational. The entry to the Tall ship is free and there is also a small souvenir shop. I managed to capture some remarkable pictures.
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Scotland. It’s a must see!

The ship itself is amazing and fascinating. But the cafe is absolutely shocking. The kids meal boxes are a disgrace and only come with half a sandwich in them and a packet of crisps 🤦🏻😤. I wouldn't normally leave a bad review for anywhere, but this was so bad and disappointing I've had too, 2 kids boxes, a cheese toastie and a chicken mayo baguette came to over £30. I certainly won't be back here for food and will definitely be taking a packed lunch for next time if I ever return.
So for this experience I can only give this a 1* rating unfortunately

An unexpected find after going to the Riverside Transportation museum. It's a reconstructed ship you can explore and learn about, with lots of space to give visitors some distance from each other. The cafe was great and we loved the gift shop. It had lots of interesting info for both kids and adults.

Nice little ship which is free to enter. The ship has good history which is depicted well, the bowels were closed for a birthday party when we visited but still lots to see.
It's an old ship so naturally access isn't great and there are some steep steps if you want to go up on the top decks.

We visited from South Africa with our children, 6 & 9. This was a fascinating experience. It was interesting to see the living space and the opulence of the captains quarters in comparison. We were surprised at the size of the hold. Well worth the visit. It is free but we definitely encourage you to give a donation at one of the available donation points.

Very interesting, and worth the visit! You get to explore 70% of the ship, and appreciate the sheer size of it! The staff onboard are very knowledgeable and very friendly. If your at the museum, definitely give it a look afterwards, it's free of charge too. There is even a cafe below deck!

Glenlee is a very interesting ship ,it was lovely seeing around the engine room and the stewards and sailors accommodation.
Downstairs there are photos and information about the Glenlee when she was a cargo ship and how many times her name had changed over the years .

History you can stand on and walk around. One of only 2 tall ships in the UK to visit (other Cutty Sark in London). Free entry to walk above deck and below, must admit going below was a real eye opener. Huge open spaces where shipments were stored. See/read about the last voyage over over 1,000 days. Big tip here is use the cafe onboard rather than the museum as most people opt for the museum so the ship cafe is quiet (was for our visit).

This was a really interesting place to visit, lots of boards to read about the ship's history, you could ring the bell on the ship, you could go into all of the rooms on board and below deck, lots to explore and it was all free. We left a donation as it was such a great place to visit.

Good for just under an hour to see a ship that was in service for over 120 years. Got to experience life on the high seas in terms of sleeping areas (captain vs. the others). Plenty of places to explore on the deck and down in the hull. Info to read; interactive stuff for kids (ring the bell, turn the steering wheel). Has a place to eat. Good views.
The large square in the heart of Glasgow is known for its beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere. The square was laid out in 1771 and named after King George III. In the Square you can find many important buildings, including the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and the Scottish Parliament Building. The Square is also popular for hosting events throughout the year. At Christmas time it hosts the Glasgows Christmas Market and an ice rink.
It’s the headquarters of the city council where it held in the city center and well known as the place where people celebrate and gather to protest and chill sometimes when the sun is up. So many statues and monuments for Robert Burns, James Watt, Sir Robert Peel and Sir Waiter Scott. Spectacular and memorable place to visit and spend some good time in the site

Not the usual hustle and bustle of the Christmas Markets with all the ongoing Covid situation.
But was nice to take the kids, they seemed to enjoy themselves and it was pretty impressive when it was lit up at night time.
Hopefully next year will bring back the markets and the fair ground attractions for the children
Conner Regan — Google review
A great place to relax, read a book, feed pigeons, enjoy the summer sun, or anything you'd love to do in a park . The seats placed all around the square are helpful especially for the elders.
This is even awesome at night time as you can see in the photo.
Open for public. Queen Street Train Station just across the street. Lots of nearby pubs as well.
Enjoy!

Georges Square is a great place to go to especially during the Christmas times because you get to see the Christmas lights and the Christmas market but also it's a place people can go to for political protests. I've attended a few protests on this square and it's empowering when you're together as one to stand for what you believe in.
There are times when people use this square for education and inform people about what is going on around the world which I thought was a fantastic thing to do in this day and age. I've also attended here for concerts too so as you can imagine there's a little bit of everything that happens in George Square!

George Square is a vibrant hub in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. With its iconic statues, lush greenery, and historical significance, it serves as a focal point for gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events. The square's architectural beauty, surrounded by impressive buildings such as the City Chambers, adds to its charm. Whether it's enjoying a leisurely stroll or participating in lively demonstrations, George Square offers a dynamic and engaging experience for locals and visitors alike.

Not bad but not too much for tourist, though there isn’t much to do but looking at the statues and the beautiful building around the square makes it a worthwhile place to rest. There are numerous monuments in the square to some of the great statesmen associated with the town so if you are a history buff then this place should be on your lists😀

Located in the centre of Glasgow, George Square is a must-see for visitors. Wonderful statues and monuments directly across from the City Chambers, it's a great place to have some lunch, enjoy the sunshine, and take in the atmosphere. If you are afraid of birds - this is probably not the best place for you as there are LOADS of pigeons around! :)

George Square is one of the most famous squares in Glasgow, Scotland. During the Christmas holidays, the square is transformed into an authentic Christmas atmosphere.
George Square hosts a massive Christmas tree that is lit up every night. The tree is an iconic attraction in Glasgow and draws visitors from all over the world. It also hosts a Christmas market that offers a variety of stalls selling handcrafted goods, food, and drinks. The market is a great place to find unique gifts and to soak up the Christmas atmosphere.

I will never forget the first time I visit the square. It was 2011and I found an apocalyptic landscape. Lot of people congregated around capsized ambulances and trash trucks, police cars destroyed...it took me while realized that there were filming the movie World War Z and the place was transformed to look like a US city. In any case, it worth visiting and enjoy the view of the buildings around. If you are lucky you can find an event with music, craft and good street food.

Elizabeth Carlisle — Google review
If you're like me you will be drawn here without the need of any reviews or advice since it is the heart of the city, a place that is always rushing with activity and life. There is an unadorned and welcoming vitality to it that I greatly appreciate. Still, I would recommend taking the time to honour the more somber and reflective aspects of the square such as the memorial to the Scots who gave their lives for the country during World War I and received a fitting tribute, regal and patriotic without being ornate. The main governmental building exudes the richly exuberant and elaborate magnificence of a bygone age when Glasgow was one of the fastest growing cities of Europe.

The Lighthouse is an important historical landmark in Glasgow that features exhibitions of contemporary art and design projects. The building is located in the citys vibrant Buchanan Street area, and has a permanent collection of the work of Scottish architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Was always an interesting pace to visit. Cafe on top floor was serene, as was the upper panoramic viewing floor with the piano. Hoping it reopens.

Ahmed El Araby — Google review
The building was very nice, the best part of the exposition was the lighthouse itself. The stairwell went up to the very top and made it incredibly worth climbing all those flights of stairs. However, it is not accessible to everyone, if you need to use the lift you can only access a different part of the building that shows you part of the view to the city but you cannot go where the stairwell takes you.
Toilets at the lighthouse weren’t great. They had some funny signs but the woman’s toilet seats felt like they were about to fall off the wall if you sat down.
Sofia Garrod — Google review
Great place, hidden in the lanes of Buchanan street but worth visiting. Has several museums. To see this staircase you need to go through the Mackintosh hall on the 3rd floor. It would've been great if they had a map of glasgow on the top, so you could easily guess what building is what. Otherwise, fine 👍🏻

Apparently is more famous for tourists, but has a great and avant-garde atmosphere.

A building designed by Glasgow favourite son Mr Charles Rennie McIntosh although you don't really get the flavour of it from the outside due to the tightness of Mitchell lane and the close proximity of the adjacent buildings. The tower itself is not by McIntosh but a later addition but has great panoramic views of the city below, so worth the visit but beware I counted 220 steps to the top!

The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow is a large, modern art gallery with permanent and rotating exhibitions. It's housed in a former neo-classical townhouse and has been visited by many people for its eclectic range of displays.
Contemporary art is heavily represented in this gallery. Right in the center of Glasgow, it is easily accessible, entrance is free and there are multiple floors and spaces to enjoy art. The main hall exhibits two local artists at the moment. The building itself is a beautiful neo-classical melange and is currently undergoing restoration. There is also nice cafe and library in the basement with easily accessible restrooms.
Nikos Parastatidis — Google review
A gorgeous building on the exterior and interior, beautiful coloured windows which reflect the colours in the sun and welcoming staff on the entrance. The gallery is a must visit if you are in the area, mainly as it is free to visit and why not. Personally, the art is hit and miss but it is a subjective topic and others may feel differently. There are some great Beryl Cook paintings and some beautiful patch work quilts which were in celebration of IWD which were incredible.

I visited the Gallery of Modern Art today and I can say I really enjoyed it. While I am not an art critic, so I cannot comment on the content, I was happy to visit a number of different exhibitions. The gallery is well maintained and has a café and adjacent library at the basement. The café was closed when I visited, but the library was open. The library is not a bug one, but it has a variety of books. There are also PCs available to the public, as well as the gallery WiFi is freely accessible. Big plus the free entrance to the whole gallery and exhibitions, as in my opinion any kind of museum/exhibition should be made freely available to everyone. As in many museums, there is a donations box in the entrance where visitors can make their donations. The building itself is also quite interesting and there is an architectural model of it in display from 1996. Overall, a quite nice experience.

The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow is located in the heart of the city and houses a collection of modern and contemporary art. It is considered one of Scotland's most popular art galleries, with a range of artworks from local and global artists. The building was once the townhouse of a wealthy tobacco trader and features a striking statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on his head.

Hard to get the full experience whilst Goma is under renovation externally. The building itself is an integral part of its story and infused with the collections.
Like all museums in Glasgow it has free entry and is continuously adapting its main exhibition space (gallery 1) so on future visits you might find the art more or less to your taste.
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” as they say. Adelante!

This is a beautiful building, the former Royal Exchange. I was nearly the only visitor during my visit and I struggled to find much to engage with, although I liked the works by Beryl Cook. Staff seemed a little bored and none were engaging with visitors. It's all a bit elitist, it'd be nice to make it feel more accessible to those who aren't art experts. I liked the effort though made in showing the history of the building and some early documents relating to the opening of the gallery.

I really liked the current exhibition (sadly, can't remember what it's called). Think it was something about domestic life and it gathers quite an eclectic mix. I liked that it represented AIDS heritage. I also like that it involved work from locals (was it Ferguslie Park?). I also enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes look at the artists' studio recreations. And what's not to love about that huge foot!! 😅

More than art.
Good layout, cute gift store, and little library and cafe in the basement. I don’t really understand modern art, but I love that it exists for residents for free. There’s also creative stations for you to engage with the the art and create art. They also put a lot of focus on making sure resident visitors know the resources available for them like free feminine hygiene resources for menstruating women, food programs for those in scarcity. They are doing more than most museums of modern art. Love that.

Just add a lovely week in the west end of Glasgow, spent hours in the kelvingrove and Hunterian at Glasgow university, had a trip out to the burrell collection and came to GOMA, what a stupid acronym, I didn't recognise what it meant, thought the building was closed in repair and walked on by! Suggest you put a sign on the front door, next to the beautiful statue, with a sign with an arrow pointing to the door saying" gallery of modern art"
On a lighter note,have a look at this Huddersfield up and coming painter,he as had work shown at the Walker gallery in Liverpool.

I'm not generally a fan of modern art but I found that the spacious layout of the rooms and exhibits enhanced the experience for me.

Quite compact but nicely laid out gallery if modern art right in the centre of Glasgow. Most of the exhibitions are free though occasionally the gallery will stage a large exhibition with an entrance fee such as the 2023 Banksy retrospective. For me it's one of Glasgows highlights.
Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre is a unique and mesmerizing experience that blends the performing arts with mechanics. Featuring fascinating creatures that move to create engaging narratives, this theater is sure to captivate guests of all ages.
A museum that details the history of one man's art, making animated, mechanical creations. They are displayed statically until the show begins and then using music and light, they mechanically come to life. The legacy is now going from father to son, with new creations being made.
My entire family enjoyed the experience. Each booking will highlight different installations with long and short time slots.

I feel so wonderfully inspired after being treated to the Wheels of Life show. Its easy to take this sort of thing on face value and walk past, however there is too much to miss if you are not careful! The hosts are friendly and knowledgeable and I felt an instantly good vibe about them all and the whole place, in fact. There is much in the world to learn and this turned out to be a rich source. Consider your own work-ethic. Then watch this show! If you are patient and you really sit and watch the fantastic and surreal shows of movement, music and light there are many subtle nuances which give a stark, interesting and enlightening glimpse into the arist's life, his experiences and work. I felt that good honest values are also present here as the whole family appear to be involved! On Sunday 22nd January 2023 I enjoyed the show and I, myself became a Non-conformist Artist following my being treated to these very valuable 'lessons' in the expressions that are there for the open-minded and creative amongst us.

A friend on holiday in Glasgow told me about this, i had probably walked past it unwittingly, a hundred times. It is not well advertised.
This is a very special unusual place( see the accompanying explanatory note).Different exhibitions are permanently on show at Trongate art centre . Its £15 per person and the show lasts approx 1 hour you are then free to peruse and wonder at the now silent exhibits. If the photos don't impress you then forget it. Children will adore it too. Tickets can be booked on your phone in advance. There are several shows daily.😳

I thoroughly enjoyed this truly unique experience. The craft work of the sculptures was amazing and their movements were delightfully entertaining. Even the way their shadows were cast on the walls was fascinating.

Love it. New and different experiences for myself. Would like to go back for other show !
Celtic Park, which is the largest football stadium in Scotland, is a must-see for anyone interested in football. The knowledgeable staff and beautiful surroundings make it an unforgettable experience.
We booked to take my 78 year old Dad on a tour of the stadium.
We were taken around by Brian - and definitely had our moneys worth - an hour long tour took 2 hours - he definitely knows his stuff and was super enthusiastic!
My Dad absolutely loved it!
His daughters and grand daughter - who, unfortunately for him, have no interest in football whatsoever- actually enjoyed it too!

You get an excellent view from almost any seat. The standing section (ultras) create atmosphere even when the game is mediocre. Food isn’t great but disabled access is good and it’s easy to get by train or on foot. A fantastic stadium with lots of history. Well worth a tour

Amazing ground, amazing stadium. Not the first stadium I’ve been to, but it’s certainly the best I’ve been to so far. Simply amazing. Would happily return without a second thought.

While in Glasgow, a visit to Celtic Park is an absolute must. The vibrant green hues that adorn the stadium are truly awe-inspiring and leave an unforgettable impression on all who visit. The atmosphere of the park is electric, and it's a great way to immerse oneself in the city's vibrant culture and history.

Our first Away visit to Celtic Park for the first game after the prolonged winter break.
We got in OK, and of course we were impressed with the atmosphere that the stadium design gives. The enclosed feeling with the semi roof and the higher sections of the home stand all add to the atmosphere.
Unfortunately they still have a large section that has large pillars blocking any meaningful view of the other half of the pitch.
I understand they won't care too much from the Away fans (though they should, were paying good money regardless of the 'restricted view' reduction.), its the pillar at the other end of the stand that must restrict the home supporters who have to pay again good money that should have been reason to rectify.
Away supporters were given a small food counter with 3 staff. It's also cashless which for some supporters is still a burden.
Unfortunately Celtic Park doesn't allow supporters out for a smoke.
I know a majority of people would probably agree, regardless of your opinion it isn't a difficult thing to allow people to go outside for a smoke or vape.
Overall was disappointed with Celtic Park, sure on first impressions it's impressive, give it a few minutes and it starts to drop off, the longer your there the less impressive it becomes.
3/5

Did the tour with a meal at the end
Absolutely wonderful.
From the boardroom with the trophy cabinet through to the dressing room and down the tunnel out to pitch side
All the while listening to our guide and the history and stories
After the tour we were directed to one of the restaurants inside the stadium
A fantastic 3 course meal in comfy surroundings
All the staff so friendly
A must for all fans

Fantastic tour of Paradise! Tour guide Ben was very knowledgeable which made this visit extremely interesting and fun. He took us on a storytelling journey through the years from the very beginning to the present day. From the boardroom, through the famous tunnel and out into the impressive main stand overlooking the pitch. Amazing!!!

I've wanted to visit Celtic Park for over 15 years, and finally had an opportunity as part of our honeymoon trip to Scotland. While we weren't able to attend a game, we were given an incredible tour of the grounds. It started with a history lesson and a display of Celtic's incredible silverware collection. It progressed through the dressing room and eventually out onto the dugout section near the pitch. The whole journey was full of stories of past glories of the club and grounds, and was a very engrossing experience. I missed the name of our guide, but the bald gentleman with dark glasses who ran the 4:30pm tour on Friday 9.22.23 was a wellspring of information, emotion, and really brought the experience to life; he deserves to be recognized. I look forward to returning someday, hopefully to catch a game at this storied place.

I have been for a game and tour on a next day. Absolutely amazing. Tour person Dennis very nice guy, told very interesting stories and football games from the past. It actually felt like I was there during the game years ago. You was not rushed, you could take as many pictures as needed. They also assisted to find a brick of my father in law to save us looking and we were allowed to have as much time as needed. Very sensitive and respectful. Highly recommended

Kelvingrove Park is a sprawling 85 acre public space located in Glasgow's West End district that is well known for its wide range of attractions, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The park is particularly popular with walkers, cyclists and runners thanks to its numerous footpaths and acres of green spaces.
Spring is the best time to visit the park. I love this place! It took me about an hour to walk from the city centre. A walk in this park would make me feel pleasant and calm. I love nature.
Iris Lam — Google review
Probably the best park in Glasgow.
We visited it in October so it has the perfect autumn atmosphere. Many trees had already yellow and red leaves which is so beautiful. There were some small groups playing ball games and quidditch but you could have a quiet walk if you want because it is so spacey. It is also perfect for a walk with your dog.
We saw many squirrels which was really cute.

Wheelchair user friendly park.
If Glasgow city council or Scotland government can put more money in maintaining the fountain ⛲️ will be great, it’s much more energetic for the locals and tourists to see a clean and folding fountain instead of dirty plant and dead water. It’s originally a very well designed fountain.
Do hope we don’t waste what a great fountain for locals residents and tourists to visit. Do some more promotional work, maybe it can be more famous than the one in Rome💜

Growing up in Glasgow I came here every weekend with my pals and now as a 100% fully grown and mature adult I do the same. The park is a prime area for scenic and long walks all year round, the lovely park changing with the season. In summer also it offers a beautiful spot for picnics and if you’re a kid a great opportunity to play tag in the playgrounds or skate in the skate park. All round my favourite park in Glasgow.
David Flecher — Google review
Beautiful and well-maintained park. A lovely spot for a morning walk. Filled with statues - one for Kelvin himself, another for Lister and a rather (in my view) ugly gift to the city. The Hunterian overlooks the park from the hill and the striking Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is also visible across the green space.
Fiona Reynolds — Google review
Beautiful and expansive park. It has beautiful walk by the river, trees, paths, grass, bring your dog, partner, have a picnic, or just get away from the city for a while. You’ll sometimes get buskers, see some statues, and walk by the University for more lovely views. Love this park. Even if I’m just passing through the nature is recharging.

Kelvingrove Park is one of the most popular parks in Glasgow, Scotland. It covers an area of approximately 85 acres and is situated on the banks of the River Kelvin. The park is filled with lush greenery, scenic walking trails, and several monuments and statues. Kelvingrove Park is a great destination for outdoor activities such as picnicking, cycling, jogging, and dog walking. There are several excellent facilities available for individuals and families, including a children's play area, a skateboarding park, a basketball court, and a bowling green. The park has many popular spots, including Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Kelvingrove Bandstand, and the stunning Glasgow University, all within walking distance. Visitors can also enjoy a coffee or a snack at one of the many cafes or refreshment kiosks located throughout the park. The park is easily accessible by public transport and makes for an enjoyable day out in the city.

Beautiful park in the centre of Glasgow. You can access from the university, Kelvingrove museum, and West end. There are two playgrounds for children and a small area for skateboarding.
The paths are well maintained and also they are suitable for a walk after a rainy day without getting shoes full of mud.
It seems a great place to visit in different seasons.

I found myself here while on a vacation when I wanted a sense of nature in Glasgow. There is a ton here: tree-lined trails, several statues, a couple playgrounds, skate park, flower beds, ducks on the river, and miles of paved trails. I was here for over half the morning and both relaxed and walked a few miles.

Beautiful, one of the nations finest parks, in the middle of a great and grand city. Do not underestimate the luxury of this location.
Understated and undersold, and that's a great thing, because this is like a little Stockholm, and the park like Kingsgarten,

Beautiful park in the west end of Glasgow, housing in the Kelvin grove and museum, this park is attached to finiston( a lovely area parallels the Clyde, argyle Street, and the most famous Street in Glasgow, sauchiehall Street! The park is an open area with tennis courts and is a natural open space. If you're visiting the Kelvin grove, the in art gallery is housed within Glasgow university that sits on the hill . Parking in finnieston is easy, and with it's many choices of pubs and and restaurants its a perfect Day out. The 77 bus from Buchanan bus station is just 12 minutes away.
If you're thinking of staying for a couple of days ,try the Kelvin grove hotel, and if you fancy a pint I would highly recommend the PARK PUB.
I spent 4 days in finnieston, and this hotel and pub served me very well.

Supet cool park: it has everything! Various children playground with caffeè shop, skate park, several paths and sidewalks to explore and excersize, monuments, bridges. Incredible gardens and woodlands, including a natural reserve area with lagoon. Lots of animals including squirrels. Safe, clean, tidy and free!
A five-star rated science museum in Glasgow, housing a planetarium, IMAX theatre and cafes, the chances of it being anything but a great day out are highly unlikely. Situated on the River Clyde opposite the Riverside Museum, this attraction is home to a wide range of interesting exhibits including interactive displays and practical experiments.
Best science museum for kids. Every concept is well displayed with a hands-on equipment. 4 hours was not sufficient for my kids. Good options in cafe. Drinking water have to be looked at. Highly recommended for kids from 7 years and above. Kids were amazed..

Great place to walk around with the centre spread over three different levels.

It's not advanced much since it opened. Same displays apart from expensive visiting attractions. Primary school age kids will like it. Not a lot for older kids. Planetarium was good and IMAX cinema reopens in May. Would be good if it had a discount for disabled concession card holders and carers. Remember to get your car park ticket stamped at reception so you can get out of car park. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Car park has no time limit so you can explore area after visiting.

I've visited the Glasgow Science Centre Museum several times over the years and I thought it'd be a good time to write down a constructive review based on my visits.
Firstly, it's really easy to book a ticket, you have the option of either booking the tickets online and having the add-ons included or you can go inside and join the queue but there is a bit of a wait if you do that. I've always booked my tickets online and then I was able to print my tickets at home to show the booking office to gain entry.
Once through the booking section, you can either climb up the escalator or use the lift to gain entry to the main section, and I've always thought this was such a lovely place to visit, a lot of the reviews on here say that this is more geared towards the younger customers but I find I still have fun because there are a lot of interactive pieces and while the information isn't detailed, it offers a good introduction into science.
I've visited the planetarium too, which was lovely, however, it isn't accessible for deaf people as there are no subtitles or a British Sign Language interpreter meaning that I had just watched the stars go by and honestly, this was relaxing and I did enjoy myself but I didn't learn anything new.

We had a Great day out here and highly recommend it for family's.
Pros:
Lots of activities - all very interesting and most are fun for a variety of ages.
Plenty of room around the activities to make your way round other groups.
Some activities in the body bit let you save your stats to a card (would be cool to see this on more activities).
There are plenty of activities around to try out while you wait for another one to become available.
Plenty of staff around to help or point you in the right direction. They're also lovely and friendly.
Cons:
There was a few activities on each floor that were broken (hopefully not out of commission too long)
Some activities can be really busy so you can have a long wait (also depends how long certain people spend on activities).
It can become slightly disorientating just due to the layout.
We didn't go to the IMAX cinema or planetarium so can't comment on how good those are but they are additional to the entry price.

Some interesting things to learn and lots of activities to do. Unfortunately there was alot of schools there the day we went with really noisy unruly children which the teachers weren't controlling,they was running about screaming and we had to have a break in the coffee shop to bear going back in. So more supervisors needed as the teachers didn't care. It was alot better once they left at 2/2:30pm. We booked onto the Planetarium tour but didn't go in as when we was waiting there was an obviously very ill child coughing non stop and we didn't want to get ill for the rest of our holiday especially as she was not putting her hand over her mouth and coughing over everything. Definitely take hand sanitisation with you. Staff friendly and helpful. Cafe good. Children enjoyed most of it.

Went today to the science centre with the wife and kiddies. Never been before and have to say we where there for hours! Loads to do. Science show, planetarium, short movies in the IMAX, just packed with fun, entertaining and brain expanding stuff. Have to tip my cap to the science show hosts Richard and Emma too today. Really funny but informative just what you want. Enjoyed it a lot. Only ouch part was the cafe. Felt it was a bit over priced and did dampin the experience for us as we hadn't prepared any lunches before hand. Apart from that though top teir fun for all and do recommend paying for all tickets and extras before hand to save time on the day. Go expand your minds and enjoy as we did 👍😎🏴

This is a brilliant place for a full day picnic with family. It's a fun place, not just for kids but for adults alike. There is enough to keep everyone engaged for the whole day. We reached about 11:30, just in time for the mind blowing IMAX show on our beautiful earth from space followed by 3 floors of scientific experiments and activities to explore. There's also a science show and the final cherry-on-the-top planetarium session. You have to visit this place at least once if you're in Glasgow. It's worth every buck! You can have your lunch either at the in-house cafeteria or bring your own packed lunch. There's also a small gift and souvenir shop inside the building. Make sure you book for the entire day to get a discounted parking onsite. Enjoy!

my wee boy is only 2 n a half so wasn't sure it would be enough to entertain him. I was wrong, he had a fantastic day, we were there from 10am till about 3pm and he could have easily stayed longer. a lot of the stuff he didnt understand but still had fun playing with it and the under 7s section is fantastic.
This all-inclusive collection of ceramics, tapestries, glass and decorative arts is perfect for kids. There's plenty to do here such as Wee Wednesdays (for under-5s) and monthly family film screenings.
A museum located inside the pollok country park.
The design of the museum is really fantastic! It was cloudy when I set off from Glasgow city centre and when I arrived at the park the weather suddenly cleared up. The roof of the museum is made of glass and the sunlight pours in, it's really beautiful.
When I actually started visiting the exhibits, I honestly didn't expect to settle down and read the information on the exhibits at first (because English is not my first language and the museums I visited before they gave long and boring information on the exhibits and I didn't have the patience to read them all)
However, this museum gave me a completely different feeling! The information they give next to each exhibit is concise, giving the main information about the exhibit, with easy-to-understand questions to guide the visitor's thinking.
I spent about three hours in this museum to finish it, and the whole thing was very interesting!

The Burrell collection has got to be one of the best collections of artifacts I have seen. Once you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff who are very helpful on giving me information about the layout. The building is maintained in the highest standards right down to the toilets. There is a cafe which I did not have the chance to try out. The artifacts and paintings blew me away there was so much to see and well presented. There is parking outside which cost me 2.90 but that was a few hours stay. Definitely add this to your visit list.
Gone Country — Google review
One of my favourite museum experiences ever. The collection itself is impressive in scope, quality, and presentation. The building interior spaces are gorgeous but even better is the way it is enhanced by the surrounding nature, with tons of natural light and beautiful wooded areas visible from the tall windows.
They have several fun multimedia experiences designed for children too, which makes it so much easier for adults to enjoy the collection while their kids learn and are entertained.
The outdoor areas surrounding the collection are also superb with a huge lawn for activities or relaxing, a fun sand play area that our kids absolutely love, and a nearby play park with great equipment.
Bonuses for being free and having an excellent gift shop.
The restaurant cafeteria was nothing special, but I don't go to museums for the food so that's not a big deal.
Erich Rau — Google review
Free to enter and an interesting mix of traditional and modern building structures in which the museum is housed. Lots of outside seating, a free electric bus to run you about the Park should you not be able or fancy walking the short distance to Pollock House. Dogs are not allowed inside the building so I dog sat in the car park. Be warned, paying by RingGo involves an additional payment of 40p on the £10 daily charge, no warning of that on any of the sign boards or on the Burrell Collection website. (Nice little earner!) No outdoor seating for refreshments so no chance of me having lunch with my wife and daughter. I'm told the Collection is worth seeing.

Leaving a review specifically because I was very impressed with the facilities here. They provide gender neutral toilets which is fantastic, as well as several stations for filling up your water bottles; this was a lifesaver as we came to Pollock Park with our dogs and they were very thirsty throughout the day. We visited one of the cafes and had a banana muffin and it was delicious. The gift shop was beautiful and had a huge selection of lovely magnets, purses, teddies, pens, scarfs, and so much more. I definitely recommend visiting here.

This is the most eclectic collection of historic pieces I've ever seen under one roof. Not only this, but these items located in this building are all from one man's personal estate. The fascinating collection seen is just a minute bit of how many wonderful artefacts that this man had in his home. I believe currently there are 4000 stunning relics where, in fact, he collected roughly 9000 or more in total.
This is a must-see museum. Free entry.

Fantastic collection of art which has been made more interactive and accessible since the refit. I particularly liked that there were places to sit and contemplate the contents without having to buy something. Saying that we were there for 4 hours - the queuing and ordering system in the main restaurant is truly shambolic (but the actual food once it arrived was perfectly nice), the espresso bar seems to have its act together though.
NB the collection is free to visit but you do have to pay to park.

What a wonderful time we had at the Burrell Collection. It’s wonderfully airy so you don’t get sleepy while walking around due to lack of circulation. The facilities are ample and modern. The building is aesthetic so it’s a joy to take photographs. There are many boards so you learn a lot while just walking about. The people are so friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to point to in the right direction or have a chat about the work.

The collection itself is amazing containing several masterpieces. The museum itself is beautiful and has a good cafe as well as an indoor picnic area. The staff were wonderfully helpful.

Great cafe to replenish half way through nice grounds to walk in also .£5 to park but that's council but free to go in and plenty of people on hand to answer questions.

Wonderful collection of intriguing & mesmerising pieces spanning all parts of the globe.
The building itself is so modern but sympathetic to its woodland park surroundings, surprising it was built in the 70’s!
BIG shout out to Abbey who despite her short time there KNEW her stuff! She crammed in so much history about the Burrell family & their history as well as non museum chat. I’d actually seek her out as a guide on my next visit.
And you will need a few visits! Some great photo Oppertunities for light/shadow and pattern play.
Descriptions are basic, decent sized font and touch screens are a nice modernisation for kids and adults.
Good amount of seating is dotted around. Definitely very wheelchair friendly.
Nice large communal cafe with little booths. Despite being crowded & quite noisy in areas, service was fast and attentive.
Soup, panini, and scones were lovely. Large selection of cakes which are out in the open.
I am immuno suppressed so can’t eat open air food. I asked if there were any cakes in the kitchen and again HUGE points scored when I was offered fresh baked ones without judgement.
Quick browse in the gift shop revealed some nice items.
Also seen stations with kids activities.
You could easily come to wander or just to read a book or for a cafe after a park walk.
Please leave a donation if possible-the staff & venue really are more than worth it.

One of the more impressive galleries/museums I have visited in the UK, the interactive parts actually work and everything appeared very well looked after. Plenty of staff around. I walked through the park to Pollokshaws West train station just after the sun started setting and arrived at the station as it was dark - I would not like to leave it much later as the path is not very well lit and gets muddy in the rain, and there was nobody else walking around as well (seems most people drive).

The Burrell Collection in Glasgow is a captivating treasure trove of art and artifacts that offers a delightful journey through various cultures and periods. Housed in a modernist building set within the scenic Pollok Country Park, the museum boasts an impressive array of over 9,000 objects spanning from ancient civilizations to modern art.
The collection is the result of Sir William Burrell's lifelong passion for collecting, and it truly reflects his eclectic taste and discerning eye. Visitors can marvel at exquisite Chinese ceramics, intricate Islamic art, delicate tapestries, and masterpieces by renowned artists such as Degas, Rodin, and Cézanne.
What sets the Burrell Collection apart is its diverse range of exhibits, allowing visitors to explore different facets of art, history, and culture in a serene and contemplative environment. The museum's thoughtful curation and spacious galleries provide an immersive and enriching experience for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
In addition to its outstanding permanent collection, the Burrell Collection also hosts temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and events that further enhance its appeal and relevance to the community.
Overall, the Burrell Collection is a must-visit destination in Glasgow, offering a unique and enriching cultural experience that is both educational and inspiring. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Burrell Collection has something for everyone.

I would highly recommend the Burrell Collection, situated in the lovely Pollok Park (woodland tracks and a chance to see Highland Cows and deer). A beautifully curated collection with a variety of different items and varied artwork (paintings, tapestry, sculpture, stained-glass windows ..... ). Accessible building with a cafe, cloakroom etc. Joined a free tour (with guidr Mitchell) for approx. 1hr which was excellent - a detailed and personal exploration of some of the items in the collection. Unbelievable that this is free and well worth a trip out of your way to see.
The St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life & Art is a museum that features religious art from around the world. The museum is located in the Cathedral Square near the Necropolis and Provands Lordship.
The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art is a museum of religion in Glasgow, Scotland. It has been described as the only public museum in the world devoted solely to this subject, although other notable museums of this kind are the State Museum of the History of Religion in St. Petersburg and the Catharijneconvent in Utrecht.
The museum is located in Cathedral Square, on the lands of Glasgow Cathedral off High Street. It was constructed in 1989 on the site of a medieval castle-complex, the former residence of the bishops of Glasgow, parts of which can be seen inside the Cathedral and at the People's Palace, Glasgow. The museum building emulates the Scottish Baronial architectural style used for the former bishop's castle.
The museum opened in 1993.
Nearby are the Provand's Lordship (Glasgow's oldest house), the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and Glasgow Necropolis.

Where can I even start with the amazing experience I had here.
Me and my mother came up on a week day to Glasgow, and decided to pop into this museum to fill time. We were both very interested in it already! The environment was clean and welcoming, and staff greeted us on each floor and entry showing us the way round, offering to answer any questions and truly showing a lovely smile each time.
One staff member in particular, who was downstairs by the zen garden when we visited, showed me a map on places to visit when we came back up, had a chat with me answering questions and offered advice on different events and open places around the area.
Alongside these wonderful people, the museum itself is fascinating. It’s so open and varied from all its artefacts and information. There’s truly something for everyone, and a lovely energy to this place. Even its spectacular view of the cathedral and the necropolis which I’m sure is popular.
Definitely a visit for all, and a huge thank y out for the staff who made it an experience.

As the name of the museum suggests, the museum is very much focused on religious life and art. I half expected the focus to be on Christian art, but there example of art from all the world's major religions and well as less well known ones, including those from antiquity.
There's also a good sized cafe at the selling food and drinks at very reasonable prices by museum standards. The museum is absolutely worth visiting.

Sobering, but so important.
Beside the sole surviving Catholic Church (now Protestant), we have a very-needed reminder of the joys of loving our neighbors, and the gut-rending evils that follow any other approach.

I would go for a 3.5 but no option. It is something you can check out in a few minutes and the toilet is a great addition considering the cathedral near by or necropolis have none. So add it to those visits combine :) maybe if you are religious it will be a better visit for you.

I stumbled upon this museum after leaving the Glasgow Cathedral and what a wonderful surprise it was. You enter after walking by a Zen garden. It is much larger than it appears and is staffed by a lovely group of individuals. Admission is free, represents a wide selection of religions and has some good children’s activities. The view from the top floor is spectacular and a wonderful place to take a photo or two.

When visiting cathedral and necropolis, take a look in this museum as it is located nearby with free entrance. It is providing interesting information on all major religions across the globe. How they are united how they are different all accompanied with typical religious objects. Also small garden offers a touch of harmony.

Nice small museum on religion. Easy to understand other religions and their perspective. They have a nice collection of religious artifacts and pictures too. The kids have a nice game to play. Love how they made an effort to make the kids involved. It is easy to miss. So if you are looking for toilet they will direct you here.

The Peoples Palace is a museum and glasshouse in Glasgow Green which tells the story of Glasgow from 1750 to the present day. It features interactive exhibitions, some of which are out of action because of the pandemic. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for a leisurely walk. The museum is accessible free of charge, and can be reached by the Hop on Hop off bus.
Little but beautiful museum. For anyone interested in Glasgow City’s history. Free entry. Top floor is closed for maintenance. Clean toilets. There is also a coffee shop. Huge grass fields outside.

Lovely building full of very interesting artefacts of Glasgow through the years. We enjoyed our visit very much.
Had a decent cup of coffee and a snack in the cafe area. The toilets were very poor. I understand its an old building but the toilet seats weren't even secured properly and the restrooms were not very clean. This is the reason I cannot give it 5 stars.

What a (good) surprise to visit this People's Palace. It displays various themes such as the housing problem in Glasgow, WW1, the wealth brought by slavery in colonies for cotton, tobacco and sugar, socialism,etc.... The entrance is free and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Free entrance for everyone.
What a lovely place! A splendid way to travel backwards in time! This place truly caters to the public, keeping diverse areas vibrant. The stunning architecture and garden surroundings could easily pass as a filming location for "Downton Abbey." Kudos to the incredibly kind individuals standing at the entrance all day, braving the cold to offer every visitor a proper welcome!
Ensure you contribute a small donation to play your part in sustaining this establishment (I've included the QR code in one of the pictures).

It’s free and no booking is required.
Also free parking.
This museums shows the history of Glasgow and gives visitors an insight into how Glaswegians lived, worked and played in years gone by through collection of objects, photographs, prints and a film.
Greenhouse (Winter Gardens) is closed though, not sure if and when it will re-open.
There are toilets throughout the building, lifts for those who may need extra help and on the first floor there is a café.

Free museum in a historic building in Glasgow Green. Gives the history of Glasgow, but from the working person's life vs. a general broader history. What did people do for work, leisure, and how did they raise families. How did that change over time? What about when war came? What was housing like? Good way to spend an hour. 3 floors. Best for adults.
Dave Cameron — Google review
I visited people’s palace with my partner and it was our first visit here. We spent about an hour and we really enjoyed looking at the history of Glaswegians and learning about the culture. We didn’t drive to the site but we have been told the parking is free. If you’re using public transport it’s worth noting that it’s a 20-25 minute walk from St Enoch station. Also, Glasgow green is a 5 minute walk from the people’s palace.

It’s a good passer of time to wander through but could do with sprucing up a bit. Felt a bit stuck in the past in terms of presentation (a bit like some of the displayed items!). It has the potential to be something greater just needs some financial investment and some TLC.

Parking is free and entry in free...so what are you waiting for. It has the full story of Glasgow across 3 floors, as well as a cafe & toilets. There is also a lift if you can't handle the stairs. Spent 2 hours here before closing at 5pm. Will definitely be back, as I feel there is more to digest.

I love this museum, It should be more popular!!
The information inside is very well displayed, with big wall pictures, we can see the inside of rooms dating to the beginning of the 20th centuries and objects that explain how people lived.
The topics covered: the first, the second world war, the house crisis, poverty, justice, entertainment and holiday.
The pictures taken are moving, mixing slums and group of children playing in the building stairs, it made me feel both lucky to be able to live in a proper house, but also nostalgic to an era that I didn't know, when neighbours knew each other and whose children could play around without restriction/fear of strangers.
This museum is for me a rare exemple of the right level of text to inform and well displayed to be eye-catching.
In addition, the person at the entrance of the museum was really nice, he said hello and goodbye with a big smile.

I was visiting a friend in Glasgow and he mentioned, as he knew I liked history, to go to The People's Palace which is just a little walk from the main city center of Glasgow. As we got there you are greeted with a beautiful green park with a big obelisk right in the centre of the Park which is dedicated to the late Lord Nelson, victor of the Battle of Trafalgar. Erected only a year after the battle, the funds were raised by public subscription during the countrywide outpouring of grief which followed the death of the victorious admiral.
Walking towards the front of the Museum, you see a great big fountain which was first erected in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park for the 1888 International Exhibition. Then in 1890, the whole fountain was transported two and a half miles to a new location on Glasgow Green. It was then moved for a second time in 2004 to outside the front entrance of the People’s Palace. The fountain depicts the four colonies of the British Empire and then on top of the Fountain, Queen Victoria herself.
Going into the Museum itself was a rather interesting walk through time and history, the the left of you when you enter the building is a cafe for you to relax in whether you do that before or after is completely up to you. In certain rooms, there are Costumes for people to dress up in, all being Costumes worn by people from the early years of Glasgow.

It is a bit tired, so the scheduled revamp will reinvigorate this much loved place. Needs more interactive exhibits to get the young generation enthused.
Singl-end Garnethill is a popular cafe in the heart of Glasgow which serves an array of creative dishes, homemade breads, cocktails and coffees. The Glasgow School of Art is only a short stroll away so it's perfect for easing yourself into the day after a hearty breakfast.
Well this was one of the best we have been to in a while, the food was just amazingly brilliant.
Such good quality and great value. Slightly confusing how to order but got there and I will say its a highly recommended place to go and enjoy the ambience and above all the food!

We went in for breakfast and it was brilliant.
The Meaty Breakfast was perfect, and not stupid in size. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection. The Cure yer Heid smoothie was delicious.
Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans, lots of lovely baked goods, also suitable for V&V too.
Lots of lovely local art on the walls, all for sale. The staff were friendly, engaging and you got the clear feeling they enjoy their jobs.
I'll be back when in Glasgow. Go out of your way to have a breakfast here, it's fantastic.

The place was hidden from the touristy main street and a (tiny) bit hard to find, but it was so worth it. From the cake displayed at the entrance to the decorations on the walls and table it was the perfect atmosphere for brunch.

Ordered the tahini cauliflower and the taste was just amazing. They’ve elevated the humble vegetable to a whole new level! My friend’s steak on toast was also delicious. Service was very slow and they had a strange system of having to wait your turn even if you were ready to order before other tables, so have taken one star off.

Cannot recommend this highly enough. As soon as you step inside, the smell of home cooked food hits you. You know you’re about to be nourished. Service was polite, caring and fast. I had a lovely porridge bowl which was warm and wholesome, the portion was very generous and the coffee was second to none. So good I came back again for lunch and had the full English breakfast. Great at catering for vegans and gluten free as well. Do not miss out.

Been here lots of times and the food is always really good. I've been served by a girl with blue hair a few times (sorry I don't know her name) and she is amazing, super friendly and attentive. Lovely waitress!!
Although, the last time was maybe a bit of an exception to this rule as my friend ordered what I had the week before, the fritters, and hers was completely different and greasy. A different chef maybe? Mine the previous week was amazing in comparison.. so that was a bit odd. And the cakes were really dry, maybe a few days old. Pretty disappointing. Which is unusual for this place. Staff forgot about our drinks. We finished our food by the time we got them and our original waitress completely ignored my friend. So it was a pretty surprising experience compared to the many other times I have been and really enjoyed it.

What can I say.... what a place ... on the back of their baked eggs I have now invested in a pan to make my own haha won't be as good but I have to try!!
Place is fantastic and when we were there it was a Sunday morning and had a great buzz of people, really chilled and relaxed.
Once we had finished the young man on the desk asked if wanted to use the ramp at the back as I am on crutches just now recovering from a surgery, he didn't have to do this but the fact he did was fantastic customer care and engagement
We will definitely be back...

Disappointing experience. The place is very nice and the food is good. However, the staff are not very friendly. We ordered two breakfasts. There was something missing from each plate. The price of breakfast (around 14 pounds) is also very expensive for the quantity.
We are therefore disappointed with this place and would not recommend it…
The Provand's Lordship is a medieval house museum in Glasgow that is crammed full of history. Highlights include 17th-century Scottish furniture, royal portraits, and expertly laid out rooms from the 1500s to the 1700s. The house itself is perfectly preserved and dates back to 1471.

Provand's Lordship is a historic house museum and said to be the oldest house in Glasgow and of medieval origin. There's some pre-printed notes describing the house and it's history, though you'll have to get it yourself as the staff don't mention it.
The ground and first have been through a restoration, so contains furnishing to reflect the assumed state. The ground floor has an interesting short documentary about the house and the first has been set up with what the room might have looked like in the days of Canon Cuthbert Simson, 500 years ago. Both the furnishing and restoration are good quality. The second floor is mostly an exhibition of Scottish art related to Glasgow.
The gardens are also very nice and set up like one of the uses of gardens centuries ago, as a place to go herbs with medicinal properties. Don't miss the Tontine Heads in the gardens!
macedonboy — Google review
It was touching reading the history of the struggle to preserve this historically very important home. They have done a great job recreating the living conditions from over 500 years ago, and I recommend a visit to help support the preservation of the house. The garden is a bonus, with the healing herbs and info signs. (We had a short time here on a cruise ship for the day (docked in Greenock) - we did it on our own and fit in the Necropolis, Glasgow Cathedral, St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Provand's Lordship, the HOHO bus, lunch at George Square and Rick Steves "Glasgow Walk" from his book.)

Provand's Lordship is reputed to be the oldest house in Glasgow, dating from when this was the centre of Glasgow, it's related to the Cathedral next door and would have housed representatives of the church. Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie prince Charlie are said to have stayed here. The house consists of 3 floors with usually 4 rooms on each floor, the ceilings are low and the door ways lower adding to the olde world feeling. There is a small peaceful garden out back. A must visit place in Glasgow

Gin71 is a stylish and well-known bar that focuses on gin, mixer drinks and garnishes. It offers custom gin, cocktail and snack options in addition to unique serves like Bajan Breakfast, Juan for the Road and Crystal Blue Persuasion. The bar is also known for its extensive gin menu which can be a little overwhelming for some people but it is definitely worth trying out!

If you are looking for somewhere to impress you can’t go far wrong with Gin 71. The interior is really quite special. Decadent, romantic, arty. I loved it.

This place was absolutely wonderful to visit and the staff are even better. They did so well in accomodating me. I'm not really a huge drinker so I didn't really know what to order but they helped me so much in choosing some fantastic drinks that I could have drunk all day long. They also did their best to feed me as I had just come off a flight from the airport so they brought out some little snacks for me that I could enjoy with my cocktails. They are definitely gin experts and this place is now absolutely my favourite bar despite me living in Birmingham. I hope to visit Glasgow more often for the sole purpose of drinking at this bar with my family.

One of my fav places in Glasgow so far. Nice atmosphere, good service and tasty drinks 🍷 Looking forward to visit again.
BrewDog's Merchant City operations are perfect for Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - they're literally opposite each other on Argyle Street.
Purchased an itison deal for burgers, fries and beer. Wasn't too sure what to expect but we were really impressed. Children are allowed too which is fab so we were able to take our girls with us.
The burgers are immense! I had the buffalo chicken burger and it was absolutely delicious. Sides of Mac and cheese and pickles were great too. Also, who knew deep fried Oreos were one of the most amazing desserts? They are soooo tasty!!
Our servers were super friendly and so helpful. We will definitely be back.

This pub is excellent in all respects.
They allow well behaved doggos inside.
They are fully sustainable.
They offer an excellent vegan/vegetarian menu.
They have lots of meat.
They make their own beers and spirits.
If you are into tap beer, they have you covered with over 30
They give profits back to staff and their business plan is completely transparent.
The staff stopped me getting really sick by writing my odd allergy on my order, and the kitchen staff actually read it, knew the ingredients in their sauce and came back to let me know so I could choose something else.
The food tasted amazing.
I think I may be coming here every night for dinner this visit.

We ordered the brisket. It was good, but I did not get the smokiness feeling from it! The mac and cheese with bacon and jalapeños was really good.

Excellent customer service and Dog friendly.
We brought our Dog for dinner with us and the staff were perfectly fine with that. They even brought us some Dog Ice Cream at no extra cost!
The human food is good to. I had the Pork&Chorizo Burger.

The food was top notch, can’t fault that. Also can’t fault the drinks. If you like IPA you will get your fill. However it was a real struggle to grab the attention of staff so we were left without drinks for some time. This was quite frustrating.. maybe understaffed for a Friday night? All in all, a nice place. Would go back.

Booked a table for me and my two sons for mother's day ♡ arrived to find no booking on the system. We were seated on high up table close to the door which was quite drafty. Staff did their best to keep on top of this. (It wasn't until after we left that i realised I missed out on my free mothers day drink). Food was all really tasty although the buffalo chicken burger could have been a little hotter ( we saw it sat on the hatch ready to go for a wee while) my boys loved everything and ate it all up. Would possibly return in the future.

Best Brewdog experience ever! Staff, service and food was exceptional! Food service was fast, steaming hot and absolutely delicious.. best buffalo wings I have ever had, let alone at a Brewdog!! Highly recommended and will definitely return when visiting Glasgow again. Thank you Brewdog Merchant City! 🍻

The 2 weeks we stayed in Glasgow we came here about 5 times. The beer was always on point. The service was great and the buffalo chicken wings were consistently very good. The Patriot Burger was OK.

Awesome selection of beers (standard) lovely staff who were attentive and the food was lovely. I think it is slightly overpriced as you have to pay for fries separately with your burger but not enough to lower my score.
Rob Mac — Google review
Awesome beer experience for IPA and NEIPA lovers, great selection of taps and other beers. Some interesting fruity flavors like coconut pineapple or mango lychee.
It wasn’t very busy, but the staff didn’t pay much attention to new customers coming through doors and I had to approach myself to get what I was looking for. But that’s maybe a bar vibe there is. Overall the staff is nice and responsive once you get their attention ☺️
The buffalo chicken wings didn’t win my taste, the sauce was very vinegary and overpowering nicely fried, buttered wings. Cucumber mash was nice addition to break that taste.
Will come back for beer! Strong 4 ⭐️

Welcomed by the staff and informed its quiet so customer service will be great. However this was not the case. Excited to try wings Wednesday with my friend we waited 45 mins for our first portion and we are both father anxious for the school run we never got another portion due to how slow they were.
It was slow and we informed one of the staff who told us we were next dissapointingly we were not.
It was also freezing everyone had a jacket on
Will not be back

We always have a great time here. Disappointed the brisket wasn’t available but everything else we had was delicious. The smoked chicken was SO good as was the Jalapeño Bacon Mac n Cheese with added burnt ends. So good we came back for more. Love the staff here as much as the beers!
The Glasgow City Chambers is a remarkable 19th-century structure displaying Victorian architecture. It serves as the council offices for the city and boasts ornate interiors, including murals and a grand marble staircase. The main banqueting hall provides ample space for events, with excellent service to match. The building also houses the renowned Gallery of Modern Art and features the iconic Duke of Wellington Statue nearby. A guided tour through this historic landmark offers informative insights into its significance in Glasgow's rich cultural heritage.
Thank you for a wonderful visit! I flew over for a one week vacation and got so much more than I expected. I stayed at an amazing hotel "citizenM Hotel", visited the Bagpipe World Championships, enjoyed great food, museums, and got a tattoo! I really enjoyed my walks through the streets and the entertainment along the way.

Build during Victorian time this building and the architecture is priceless.
The City Chambers is western Europe's largest marble staircase, built using Carrara marble imported from Italy. It is credited with having more marble than the Vatican.

We came here for a tour but we were told by the many stately doormen outside, that we were able to visit inside... ONLY to sign our condolences for the Queen, and then leave promptly. Promptly?!
Well then!
We said yes please and bowed ackwardly. (Come on! They were in suits, what would you have done?!) What a gorgeous and opulent building inside. The stairwell up to the "Book of Condolences" was quite the regal climb, but much more satisfying waltzing back down...nice and slow, regal like. Nothing like strutting down marble and red carpet. Too bad no one saw us though! We looked good.

I visited for the FIM Grand Prix Qualifier. It was my first visit to Glasgow speedway for years. The club owners have done wonders to transform the venue into somewhere suitable for spectating in the 21st Century. The track has been overhald too, which results in some great racing once the outside sort line appears.

The Clydeside Distillery is a distillery located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. It produces delicate Lowland single malt scotch whisky. The distillery has a rich history and plays an important role in Glasgows whisky tradition.
Very friendly staff at this distillery and they don't mind if you arrive ridiculously early for your tour in order to avoid the rain. Informative tour - some really interesting stuff about the rise of the whisky industry in Glasgow - but the best bit was the chocolate and whisky. For £30 per person, it's pretty reasonably priced.
Fiona Reynolds — Google review
Their whiskey tours are great and held by a professional and kind crew. They show all the steps of how they make their Whiskey, contrasting with other places as well. All this is concluded with a tasting of a selection of whiskeys.
I attendeded the whiskey+ chocolate tour and it felt like I got to try double the number of whiskeys, so I definitely recommend it!
If you are a seasoned whiskey enthusiast, know that this place is relatively new, so you won't get to buy 10+ year old whiskeys that they make.
Richárd Dubniczky — Google review
It is worth it just for the cafe. The espresso and latte were awesome, the sandwiches plentiful and flavorful. My Reuben has a spicy tone that was a good balance to the richness, my wife and brother also loved their sandwiches. The brownie we had with coffee was dense and very tasty, not only sweetness, the orange flavor was great balance to the dark chocolate. Then there is the tour, very informative and the venue is fabulous. The gentleman (sorry did not caught his name) that was working in the fermentation room during the tour (our tour guide Alastair was great as well) was very pleasant and answered our question about the proof of the tail of the second distilling. We all learned a lot. Highly recommended.
Vicente Rodriguez — Google review
The cafe serves very good sourdough sandwiches. Had the avocado bacon and also the haggis sandwich. Both were the best sandwiches on our trip in Scotland.

Better late than never 😉 even though being in Scotland for more than a week now, we couldn’t visit a distillery yet. The tour here was excellent and our tour guide Adam explained nicely how whiskey is made 🥃 also the little trading at the end of the tour was great with the explanations of the “marriage” 🙃
After the tour we had a light breakfast and the recommended goat cheese sandwich was marvellous 🤩
Peter R. Reuter — Google review
Modern and very young distillery.
This distillery is probably the closest to Glasgow city centre, but it is important to point out that it is a very young distillery: it was created in 2017.
The tour is ok, you can get the basic facts, but compared to other distillery tours in Scotland it is far behind the experience.
In you are around for a short trip in Glasgow, you can get a good flavour, but if you have more time, visit some of the older distilleries further away from the city.

We had a tour booked for work and we had Cameron as our guide. He was so informative and passionate about what he does and it was a brilliant tour. I don't drink whisky so I wasn't sure how much I would like it but it was so fascinating and it made me appreciate the craft it is to make whisky.
I would recommend anyone who is visiting Glasgow to book a tour.
10/10 really fantastic. Thank you very much for a great experience

We recently visited the Clydeside distillery and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We went on the whisky and chocolate tasting tour as it was a gift experience for my grandad and we decided to tag along for a getaway weekend. Our tour guide, David, was so informative and made the tour very enjoyable. My other half dealt with Sam to purchase a bottle at the end of our visit and again, was very informative. Both very friendly and happy to help with anything. 10/10 would visit again and recommended to family and friends!

Great distillery with amazing Scottish whiskey. The best I had throughout Scotland. I wish I could have taken some home back to the states with me. Highly recommend the tour. We got lucky and were the only 2 on the tour. Sam, our tour guide, was excellent! We had a lot of fun learning more about Scottish whiskey origins in Glasgow.

We had a great time. While the distillery is still young, you do learn about the history of whiskey in Glasgow. The whiskey and chocolate tasting is very much recommended, great combinations. The staff is very friendly. There are glass jars available to take your whiskey home for the designated driver.
Max de la Vieter — Google review
I'm not big into Scotch whiskey, however, learning about the history of Glasgow's Scotch economy and the general regions was really enlightening. At the tasting, I really enjoyed several of the pairings of whiskeys and chocolates which surprised me given my hesitation to begin with. Our tour guide, Cameron, was very knowledgeable and had great charisma with members of the group.
After living in Glasgow for 3 years, I'm glad to have done this tour now and will definitely be back with visitors.
Emily Silva-Knox — Google review
We called in the distillery on our way through Glasgow. The staff were able to put us on the One hour tour (£17.50 each). The tour was very informative and given by very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides, who explained the distilling process and how the process and the industry developed.
There was a tasting at the end of the tour which consisted of 3 samples, and you kept your tasting glass to take home. If you are driving, let the staff know at the tasting and they will put your samples in labelled bottles for later. (Driving on 46% proof is not recommended). A distillery tour is not something we would normally do but it really was enjoyable, next time we will allocate more time for our visit and take a longer tour. (Whiskey and Chocolate looks a good start). With that in mind we would recommend booking before you go as it does get busy.
There is disabled parking and a big revolving door to get in. There is a well stocked shop for a souvenir of your visit, these include whiskey, glasses, clothing and a variety of trinkets.
Dave Holland — Google review
Full disclosure that I am not a whiskey drinker at all, my husband is, but I joined him on the tour. We purchased tickets for the Tour and Whiskey pairing with chocolate. It was amazing. Our guide Cara did a phenomenal job of being engaged and fun while she walked us through the distilling process and tasting, but she was also very knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely enjoy her job.
The distillery tour is small but very modern and welcoming. The tasting consisted of five drams from every area in Scotland that whiskey is distilled in, including: the Highlands, Speyside, the Lowlands, Islay, and the surrounding smaller islands. The whiskies were all distinct, even to an amateur like me, and they were expertly paired with specialty chocolates made by a top notch local confectioner. For someone who never drinks whiskey, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as did my husband. I even didn't mind drinking whiskey when it was paired with the chocolate. Still not my drink of choice but overall a pleasurable experience. We also visited the Jameson distillery less than a week ago and had a much more memorable and positive experience here.
I highly recommend the tour and pairing, especially if you're like us and didn't have time to drive out to the countryside. We still received a broad taste of the various regional spirit offerings in roughly 90 minutes, which is the next best thing to taking days to tour the country in search of distilleries.
Wendy Walker — Google review
Fantastic tour of one of Glasgow’s newest distilleries! A very “micro-distillery” feel to it, it was sure fun to be there. Austin, our tour guide was an absolute delight with such a great knowledge of the distilling process yet explaining it in a fun, humorous way. (My favorite part was when he let us all know that the water came from Loch Katrina and not the River Clyde…do NOT drink the water from the River Clyde! 😂) Highly recommend this tour and to sample the young whisky. Each year they come out with a new limited edition, and once they reach ten years, I fully expect them to come out with a ten year whisky. If you like Lowland Whiskys, you will love this tour and the distillery

This was our first time at a distillery, and we were blown away by the tour Clydeside provides. It was super informative, and to top it off, they allow kids which was a definite plus. They have an activity sheet for the kids to do during the tour to keep them entertained.
They also have an option to bottle your own cast strength Scotch which was a great added touch.
Allanna Anstaett — Google review
Being from Glasgow, I didn't know much about The Clydeside Distillery until recently. But after a group of us attended the whisky and chocolate pairing experience, I'm officially a fan.
We kicked things off with a refreshing Scotch Mule cocktail, which was a nice way to whet our whistles before the tour and tasting.
The whole place has such an interesting backstory and an association with Scottish industry and export, the shipbuilding industry, international emigrations and all interwoven with the Morrison family's history.
Our tour guide Bridgeen did an amazing job walking us through all the details. She's seriously knowledgeable and an absolute asset to the distillery!
After the tour, the highlight was definitely the whisky and chocolate tasting itself. Bridgeen paired different whiskies with specially selected chocolates handmade in Glasgow by a company called Sugarsnap, talking us through the flavours. Her passion and expertise shone through and she really made it an engaging and enjoyable experience. Who knew whisky and chocolate could complement each other so well?
I couldn't believe I'd lived in Glasgow so long without knowing about this gem practically in my backyard. Between the tasty whiskies, informative tour, and Bridgeen's top-notch hosting, it was such an enjoyable afternoon. I'll definitely be returning to check out their other whisky experiences.
The Clydeside Distillery is a must-visit for any local or whisky fan passing through Glasgow.

What a real treat to see a working distillery with such a knowledgeable guide.
We were shown around by Axel, and he was wonderful even keeping our children engrossed in the process of producing such a high quality whisky.
Cannot recommend the tour highly enough, gives real in depth insight of despite TCD being relatively new it is backed by an incredibly deep heritage.
Loved the ability to bottle and label the limited blend at the shop.

We absolutely loved what the distillery had to offer! Even though we didn’t join the tour, we ordered a flight of assorted whisky as well as the soup of the day, along with some cheese. It was an absolute hay day for my tastebuds. I recommend tasting the whisky before any food to really feel the flavor.
The shop has a great assortment of gifts and bottles of every size. Highly recommend.
Tennent's Wellpark Brewery is a 300-year-old brewery in Glasgow, Scotland that offers tours, tastings, and master classes. The heritage centre features a walk-through of the brewery's processes and a fresh pint poured straight out of the famous copper tanks.

My partner and I went on the tenant's brewery disabled tour because if you're in a wheelchair, you cannot access the factory. But it is highly worth. we were met by Nick who took us outside into the brewery and told us what each building does and the history of tenants. Then he took us to the side. Let us smell all the hops and grains that Tennent's use. After that, he took his inside to the museum and showed us a video of how the Factory works. He was very knowledgeable friendly and couldn't do enough to help Very nice person . Then upstairs s for a pint of Tennent's that was drinkable this was because it through immaculate copper pipe system And unpasteurized. Then we had a look round the museum they have these large interactive screens with people from tenants history telling you about what they did and how they changed tenants. If you're disabled or a concession, you get a discount for the tour which includes a free pint. You must book before attending. No disabled access problems had everything you needed. A lovely little shop with gifts all tenants branded of course. Highly recommend a visit.

The Glasgow Police Museum is a small but interesting museum staffed by retired police officers. It is located in Bell Street, a central city building and contains many artifacts from the history of the City of Glasgow Police Force which existed from 1779 - 1975. This force was notorious for its violence and was nicknamed the murder capital of Europe. However, since VRU's formation in 2000, knife crime has drastically decreased in Glasgow, meaning that much of the historical reputation is now deservedly forgotten.
It's a lovely museum. Educational. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. You have a tour guide to show you round and tell you about the police history. There's so many different types of uniform and each tells a story. It's a good day visit for a family.

I was amazed at how much this small museum contains. The Glasgow Police Museum has over 2,000 uniforms, badges and artifacts from every single country in the world! Yes, every single country in the world! But this museum has only 2 small rooms to display. The history and education is so rich, and diverse - literally representing every country. I have never been so excited visiting a museum like we were. I actually met the curator (forgot his name) and took some pictures with him. They were so kind and professional, not even asking for donations, but we obliged. Thank you so much folks!
What a shame to see other large museums like Glasgow national museum having larges spaces/rooms to display just a few arts from unknown elite artists and spending literally millions on some bizarre irrelevant art!

Very helpful guides at the museum with a complete history of the Scottish police force tucked into a small place. Really interesting collection of uniforms, badges, and pins. I liked learning about cases solved by the force including bank robberies and grizzly murders.
Also impressive is the collection of international police uniforms. The owner told us he has even more not on display that he was able to show us pictures of!
Definitely recommend this small free museum to any tourist in the area.

Cute little museum featuring the history of the Glasgow police, it's basically uniforms and details about famous cases and the heroes who solved them. Also a room with hats and patches from all over the world. Staffed by volunteer ex-coppers who are happy to chat and answer questions. (Their little office looks suspiciously like it's still part of an active operation...) And yes, there's souvenirs. All in all an hour well spent!

Another FREE museum. This hidden gem should be publicised more. It deserves a better sign. You have to speak to the minicom for being let in. We were greeted by two retired police officers, one of which had serviced in the force for 34 years. They were so passionate and proud of the force. Although the museum is relatively small, there are full of facilating history, bravery stories and medals. I particularly liked the display of police uniforms from other countries.
Ibrox Stadium, located in the Scottish city of Glasgow, is the home of the iconic Glasgow Rangers soccer club. The stadium is also interesting architecturally, featuring blue seating and a Scottish Football Museum adjacent to it.
Worked for a week very recently Monday to Friday just as support to the logistics team in preparation for the new winning 🇬🇧 🔵 🏆⚽ season ahead. Loved every minute of it. Done my back in but won't break my faith. Loyal and true blue 🔵 forever 😇.

When the hearts come to town it’s definitely 5 stars. Can’t comment any other time. I like the day out in Glasgow and the history of ibrox. The main stand is probably one of the best I have ever seen. The rangers fans are a strange old bunch and a bit weird (v similar to their rivals???).

Great day out at the Rangers museum. 3 generations of Rangers fans visited the museum and found all exhibits suitable for all age groups.
Would recommend to any blue nose wanting to learn the history of our club.

Nice stadium, full of history.
Recommend the Tour highly.
Easy access to and from city centre. Lots of public transport.( Bus, Subway 🚇 etc) just 3-5 minutes walks away.
Safe and comfortable environment and beautiful view from the Gallery.
Walk through their Museum, with old memories preserved.

Had a great day out with my dad at ibrox, the two us had a great time.
It was really interesting to hear about the history of the stadium and to walk up the marble staircase and later walking down the tunnel was a boyhood dream come true.
The staff on site were really friendly and very knowledgeable as you'd expect.
It was great to find out about all silverware and pennants in the trophy room
It a great trip to do if you're a rangers or football fan.

My first time at the stadium for the Rangers legends match and what a day to be there. Food was OK but not a selection of fritshoots or water for free kids only fizzy juice was my only let down. The shop was great. Staff were very helpful.

Wonderful stadium. Museum was very interesting and brought back many memories. Trophy room slightly disappointing, but a lot of items had been recently moved to the museum. As the most successful club the trophy room could not hold all of the trophies etc.

Great match day experience and really great for families. We attended the Fan Zone before and all the staff were so friendly and lots going on for kids and plenty of food and drink choices. Returned here after the match too while the boys went to get autographs. Great match and amazing atmosphere.

Always a great atmosphere. The fanzone is setup for kids and adults on Saturdays. Kids can try their hand at a small football competition and face painting. Adults can soak up the atmosphere and grab some food and coffee or buy some rangers kit in the shop before and after the game.

First time ever visiting Ibrox stadium and it was definitely worth it! The history behind the incredibly successful club was awesome to hear. Our tour guide was exceptional as well👍🏼 I’ve rated 4 stars as the stadium itself was below my expectations but nonetheless a great experience!

The hospitality received from the Club was wonderful. Needed parking and an accessible space in the Stadium, couldn't have been treated better.
The first time I've heard the noise of the Union Bears outsung by the visiting Newcastle fans. Simply the best x

We recently visited Ibrox for a stadium tour. It was thoroughly enjoyable to go behind the scenes and visit the trophy room, managers office, changing rooms and pitch side.
I would definitely recommend this tour for all Rangers fans.

I moved to Glasgow to pursue my Master's degree. Unexpectedly, I live in Ibrox, the home of the biggest Football team in Scotland!
I was welcomed warmheartedly by the people here. Thus, my heart belongs to Rangers! C'mon Rangers! The blue-blue sea of Ibrox!
Awang Bagas — Google review
A category "B" listed red brick main stand contributes to the perception that Ibrox Stadium is one of the most visually stunning and most recognised football stadiums in Europe.
Within the stadium on match days you'll experience one of the best atmospheres in World football, especially on European nights or during Old Firm matches.
Reasonably priced tickets and food. Highly recommended!

Stadium is a great experience, and the atmosphere from the home fans something else, reminds me of Fratton Park. Pies on offer were decent too.

I'm biased towards Ibrox stadium as I'm a Glasgow Rangers fan. But aside from that I believe it is an iconic main entrance and would recommend a tour of the stadium as it is enjoyable to any football fan. But thats my opinion

Pollok Country Park is a big and beautiful park in the city of Glasgow. It's home to many different types of wildlife, including Highland Cattle, and is a sanctuary for visitors and wildlife. It's also a great place to take a walk with your dog.
A great place to go for a walk, especially with your dogs. Our Beagles really enjoyed running around in the huge open space. There were tons of great things to see and there were lots of places to sit and enjoy a bite to eat with great views. We spent hours here and walked 14k steps; we are very excited to visit here again! It's only a few minutes walk from the train station too so it's very easily accessible.
Cyro Phipps — Google review
Great park with easy access by car ( parking costs for 2h is £2,50 or £4,50 for all day). It is a big park with lots of different walks on offer which makes it a great place for families days out and romantic walks with the loved ones. Unfortunately only some walks are wheelchair users accessible but hopefully with time and a lot of work being done in this park that will change soon. In the middle of the park there is a Pollok house that you can visit by extra cost and booking a visit online before arrival.
Maria Buras — Google review
Our main reason to be there was to see the highland cows, and we weren't disappointed. The park itself was also very nice. The shuttle bus make it even easier to get around.
M. Schneider — Google review
Unfortunately, we only had about an hour to spare to visit the park in June this 2023, so we had a quick, yummy lunch near the Burrell Collection, but no time to visit the Collection itself, then a walk around part of the park, down to the House and Bridge (the bridge being an Outlander filming location) but no time to visit the inside of the house.
Seeing the Highland Cows and their calves on the walk was a highlight. Very peaceful areas to sit and relax if you have time. Expensive parking if you're there for a short while and want to go to a couple of car parks. I'd like to visit in the future for a whole day, leaving the car in 1 place and walking around the whole grounds.
Tara Sanders — Google review
I can’t recommend this place enough. I went there with my friend and her two year old. We had a good walk. We enjoyed the gardens, the bridge, the picnic areas the cows and Jethro enjoyed riding his little bike. The main building is in a very delicate state. The maze gardens are picturesque. The view from the benches is totally breathtaking.

A wonderful place. Take your children, your families, or your loved ones. Enjoy seeing the greenery, the beauty of nature, and the beautiful and distinctive highland Scottish cows.
Consider the ancientness and greatness of the place. Take yourself on a journey centuries ago and beautiful ancient times.
It tells you about the magnificence of the place and many of the stories, events, and people who lived in this place at that time and made history and left their beautiful mark.

What a beautiful park. With so much green space, it’s great for exercising in. My partner and I came here for a lengthy walk and the scenery is stunning. Huge woodland, ponds, wee garden maze, and a river. What’s not to like?! Made us feel like we weren’t in Glasgow anymore. We live in the East End and actually walked the whole way there, but it was so worth it!

Had a lovely morning walk at Pollock Park. There’s a lot to explore, and you can do so without getting too muddy too!
On a snowy day or in summer it would look stunning.
The parking is a little steep (a fiver) because you need to pay for 4 hours. But it was worth it, I feel buzzing after our walk.
Pollock House grounds are very nice, and there is a place to get coffee on site.
As a haiku

Great for taking your dog, lots of different routes and water flows across the area. Limited parking so bear in mind when the weather is good!!
Similar the paths are well laid out so good for families and kids. Expansive area so will take you time to do it all.
Wooded areas are also good for exploring.

Beautiful gardens and house! Car park costs 2.50 pounds for 4h, or 4.50 for full day. To enter the house, 8.50 pounds per adult (concession prices available as well). I did not go into the house as it was closed by the time I went there (closes at 430), but wandered the gardens. Access to the gardens are free and very scenic, perfect for a picnic! There are also some coos to be seen! This would make for a nice one hour stroll in the afternoon.

My daughter and I love visiting pollock park, we come here for tree climbing and exploring through the woods as well as a picnic. We visit the play park every once and a while and it’s always kept clean and nothing is broken! We enjoy going into the burrow collection when it’s cold for a hot drink before heading home.

Just beautiful. I've lived in Glasgow 8 years and never knew such a beautiful park existed. When you're inside you don't feel like you're in the city, beautiful scenery wherever you go. It's so huge you may need to come back again to continue the route. A stunning trail wherever you go. There a cafe and toilets available.

Well maintained, family friendly place. I thought strange they charged for parking - which was packed out on a nice Autumn day (lucky it wasn't raining or grass would have been less pretty) when other nearby parks do not - but The Burrell Collection is free! (I figure few would pay to visit the latter if they could walk the grounds for free.) Also plenty of interesting adaptions of the Glaswegian accent present🤣.

The Mitchell Library is a massive public library with over one million reference books, free Wi-Fi, and a cafe. It's an imposing building with collections that include the City Archives and the world's best resources for researching family history.
So this place is currently crumbling and in need of immediate maintenance and repair. It is currently on going with repairs but otherwise this buildings a must visit for all. Excellent wheel chair access. Toilets galore. Update as of 16 july 2020 the place is still crumbling and all works came to a halt with corona. Hopefully will re open soon
Fingers crossed

This place closes at 5:00 pm. I was informed by a member of staff 10 minutes prior to closing that the library was closing. I decided to wait about 5 minutes before heading out as their website says they close at 5 so I did not feel the need to rush. Literally seconds after the first staff member had said about closing, I heard someone with a big booming voice repeating several times in quick concession, "Excuse me, can you move outside!?" There really was no need for that attitude from this person as I was planning to leave but in my own time and by 5 when the library closes. I appreciate people have been working all day and need to go home to their families or wherever/whatever, but seriously whatever your name is, have some compassion and don't let whatever powers you think you may have because of your job go to your head. We all deserve to be treated with some compassion and respect. You are no better than me because of who you are or what you do, and I do not appreciate you watching me in a menacing and bullying manner from your platform above to make sure I left the building. Also, you most definitely do not intimidate me and that is why I chose to speak up for myself. Please think about your attitude and chill out. GOD LOVES YOU. Go on, put a smile on your face and enjoy God's blessings.

It is a very good library, tidy, clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and provide professional services. Each floor has different partitions. You can freely choose a suitable seat to read books, or use your own receptor computer. There is an area for children to read books , to provide convenience for parents, provide books in various languages, and you can also read books in Chinese. Equipped with a coffee color, it sells a variety of hot drinks, coffee, and simple food, suitable for staying in the library for a day. The location of the library is very ideal, the surrounding is very quiet, not too many cars passing and stopping. In the center of Glasgow, it is very convenient to take the bus, subway or train, and many people come here on foot.

The Mitchell Library is an insanely beautiful building that I would recommend visiting simply just to see its architecture. The library itself is huge, with various floors and different literature sections as well as the records archives in the lower section. It has big open areas to read/chill/study, and it has a cafe as well as toilets. Everyone who works here has been incredibly friendly and supportive whenever I have approached them. It's well worth your time.

Great place, been going semi regularly this year. It can get busy on Saturdays, lively place with people of all ages. Love to see small events and people meeting there. Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I’ve never seen some of the floors open, which frankly sad. Would love increased hours on Saturday and possibly Sunday (or at least drop boxes for returns!!).

During my bus tour the guide mentioned that this library has a lot of resources for Scotland family history. I walked over after my tour and went up to the 5th floor where the family history section is located. A friendly staff member helped me log into a computer and begin a search using several databases. If you’re looking for family history this is a great place to start.

Having seen the front and back of house having worked here, it is truly the literacy jewel of the crown of Glasgow and has mountains of books, the archives and collections dept is very helpful but customer service of some departments can leave a lot to be desired
The National Museum of Rural Life is a beautiful museum that explores the history of farming in the United States. The museum has a 1950s working farm, animals, and interactive displays that are great for all ages. The price is great and the yearly pass gets a good deal.
An absolutely incredible museum of what basically built Scotland. From the earliest farming methods to the most recent, the collection is wonderful. But being attached to a working farm, with horses, cattle, sheep and pigs - it is incredible. We saw recently calved cows and piglets - it was an amazing place. A must see, if you have kids.
Mark Shields — Google review
Lovely museum (especially if you are into tractors etc!) the old machinery is really interesting to read about and see!! The park is brilliant. Lots to do and nice benches to sit in. The shop is lovely. We attended for the woolly weekend, the kids were thrilled. The petting zoo was wonderful and the staff were amazing. We’ve taken the tractor up to the working farm before and that was fun. You have to book this when you go in on the weekend as it’s busy. Admission price gets you an annual pass 🤩will be back soon I’m sure !!

Went with my 2 year old grandson. When we arrived it was raining so we had a look round inside of museum. Once we did this we played in the park until it was time for our tractor ride (which he loved) up to the farm. He enjoyed seeing the animals and was really taken with the grandfather clock inside the farmhouse. He really enjoyed his visit and tbh would have happily spent the day riding up and down on the tractor!! We have bought the annual pass so we can go again.
Lorna Murray — Google review
What a great place! We visited with our little one. The exhibition were fantastic and full of stories and history.
The farm part is awesome. The tractor ride was fun for the little one. Otherwise, it is about a 10-15minute walk from the museum along a track. There is also a great outdoor play area and we were lucky enough to have good weather so it was well enjoyed!
The cafe there served huge portions and reasonably priced with highchairs and good changing facilities.

Such a great day for our nearly 2 yr old. She loved stroking the lambs, seeing the cows get milked and sitting on the tractor in the play park. Great selection of food for wee ones and adults in the cafe too. Great day out and lovely building too!
Liz Billimore — Google review
We took our son as he is fascinated with tractors and animals at the moment. He loved being on the tractor trailer going up to the farm. But when you get there it's a struggle to fill the half hour before getting the tractor back down. Maybe if it was really busy it would have taken longer to see everything. But it was quiet and we went round it all in 20mins even with our son walking most of it.
The main building is really interesting but again not a great deal to see. We would have spent longer in the park area, but unfortunately it started raining. The cafe is quite good with a good selection of things. The toilets are also good with good facilities for changing children.
I would bring my son back. But many in a few years.

Can't wait to go back!

Good place for wee one to learn a bit of history in the farm at the older day. After rummaging the museum you can ride the tractor to the farm. But best walk to the farm and then ride the the tractor back.
Lots of miniature tools on display. If these are make into souvenir, it can be an interesting attraction.
The canteen look at bit too small, with not enough table.

The Ubiquitous Chip restaurant is a popular stop for students, romantics, and locals in the lively Ashton Lane neighbourhood of Glasgow. The interior is decorated with touches of greenery and fairy lights, making it an enchanting place to dine.

Amazing restaurant with friendly, attentive and informative waiting staff. Lovely atmosphere and absolutely delicious food cooked to perfection. Not to mention the unique and lovely cocktails!

My main is less inspiring — ricotta and chestnut croquettes. The powder gives the sprouts a tempura-like crispness. The base of the squash puree is cold, though, and the rocket garnish miserably flaccid. The croquettes themselves are floury — overwhelmingly so. One is pleasant; two is a chore.

It's a trendy restaurant near the University of Glasgow. The bartender and staff are very friendly and helpful. We had the scallops and celeriac for starters. The rib eye and the trout for dinner.

We had a great time in the restaurant. We took the non-vegetarian tasting menus and even though they come at a cost, they are worth it.
It’s like a food journey and you can easily spend three hours in the restaurant and enjoy a nice evening.
Also, we had the wine flight (basic) which made the tasting menu very sound.
Overall, a great place in a cosy atmosphere with good food and wine.

Obsession of India is a popular Indian restaurant in Glasgow that has been praised for its curries and customisation of each plate. The restaurant is located in the heart of Merchant City, which makes it easy to find. While there is nothing particularly unique or trendy about the restaurant, the high-quality curry and attentive service are what make it a great choice for those looking for good Indian food.
Very good value for money at this great Indian on the edge of Glasgow's Merchant City.
The food was delicious & quickly prepared. As we came in for lunch the restaurant was quiet, with only ourselves and one other set of customers present, but the atmosphere was still pleasant and authentic. We booked a table for lunch but it didn't appear to be necessary.
The staff were pleasant enough, could be friendlier but no complaints overall. The layout of the restaurant was very simple, facilities were easy to find and extremely clean.
I would recommend this restaurant.

Amazing staff and great food. If you order takeaway it's 20% off. Eating in you get warm moist towelettes to freshen up after your meal, and a nice chocolate. We had the Mixed Pakora for starters, Chicken Balti for main, and Chili Cheese Naan. The chili cheese naan was not paneer as I was expecting, but it was still very good.

5 Stars are not enough to rate Obsession of India. I would rate this 10 stars!
I first visited this Glasgow gem in 2018 on a Thursday evening and the place was packed. We were happy to wait for a table, as someone (with impeccable taste) recommended it to us as the BEST India food in Glasgow. Although no one left the restaurant suddenly a small table next to the kitchen was empty. Once seated I noticed the man who had been at the table sitting in a chair next to the coat rack. He offered up his table as his finished his wine. We invited him to join us and he offered us recommendations as he eats there several time a week. The meal was FABULOUS!!! Back in Glasgow in 2022 I fancied another amazing meal. I mentioned the man who gave up his table and the owner said they called him to say we were back. Reunited with an old friend we enjoyed another great meal. On my last night in Glasgow before going to see Sparks at the Barrowlands I returned. On all three occasions the food was spectacular, atmosphere was perfect and the service was impeccable. I'll be back again and again. Thanx to Cammy and Sangeta for the great food and hospitality. Do yourself a favour and stop in for a wonderful meal and a great night out.

Absolutely loved the restaurant and the service was so friendly. Food was a delight, perfectly cooked and flavourful. Not spicy but able to request if that's your taste. Had a wonderful chat with the owner and he made our experience 5*

We do visit from London just to eat there. The staff genuinely care about your experience and the chefs create the most flavoursome dishes, each dish tasting distinctly different from one another. Deserving of more than 5 gold stars. We already look forward to our next visit.

Excellent place to get authentic Indian cuisine! Food was delicious, service was great and prices are very reasonable. Try the pakora, it’s amazing.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was so delicious and the customer service was incredible. We tried the butter masala, korma and a special dish from the kitchen. The dishes were so flavourful and the portions are HUGE. The naan bread was soft and had the best crisp to them. A must try while in Glasgow!! ( I couldn’t want to take the picture lol)
they even provided hot towels at the end of our meal! Such a wonderful experience.
We will definitely be back!

We were a family of eight, enjoying a family reunion. We are from San Francisco and Switzerland. This was the best Indian cuisine any of us have had. The staff was very attentive and gracious answering all of our food selection questions. The portions of each dish was very generous. The decor and atmosphere were calming and inviting. We dined on a rainy Sunday afternoon and didn't have reservations. We highly recommend dining at this restaurant.

Really really excellent food!
Probably one of the nicest Indian restaurants we've ever been too. Service was excellent and the food was really gorgeous. Our kids loved it too. Can be difficult eating out at Indian restaurants as a veggie, but the paneer option was available for all of the curries and it was lovely

One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow. The best curry I've had in the city so far and service is exceptional. Staff clearly care about the customer experience and are happy to explain dishes and give recommendations. I like to try new food experiences but the quality of food and service is so good that I've been back twice in the last 3 weeks! Writing this review is making me hungry again...

Glasgow is famous for Indian food so I was keen to find a good restaurant, and this did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and kind, and the food was wonderful. It’s worth noting that they offer vegan options for most of their dishes if required. I’d highly recommend and if I find myself in the area again, I’ll return for sure.

My friends and I visited last night ,,what a meal we had!!! The food was so stunning . There was such a busy, lively atmosphere, and the service was excellent. It’s a must-try restaurant for everyone who love Indian cuisine already, I can’t wait for our next visit !!! Highly Recommended 👍👍👍
Chaakoo Bombay Cafe is a charming eatery that offers a diverse selection of Indian and Persian cuisine in a cozy setting adorned with traditional furnishings. This restaurant, deemed worthy by Culture Trip, promises an exceptional culinary journey. The delectable blend of flavors can be attributed to the rich history of Bombay Cafes, which were originally established in the 19th century by Persian and Iranian immigrants in India.
Lovely food. Great ambience. Chicken pakora is delicious! Definitely do order it. Even the other items were good. Having arrived recently to Glasgow (and to the UK as a whole) this Indian food was a welcome addition. Check out the bill in my photos on the review to see other things ordered.

Lovely atmosphere in beautiful authentic surroundings. The food is exceptional. I guarantee what ever you order - you will love it. Fantastic flavours. We found Chaakoo Bombay Cafe via google maps and the excellent reviews. Pity it’s 350 mile from home- otherwise I’d be a regular.

Overall good spot for Indian food. Curries were tasty and the chicken was perfectly cooked. However the naan was quite disappointing, very thin and chewy. The chips were also meh but that’s a minor point - who even orders chips at an Indian restaurant… The thing which brought the place down a star for us was that the portions were really quite small. We got two mains, two sides and a naan bread for two people, paid a decent amount and left a bit hungry still.
Oh, do try the Walla chai liqueur though!

I recently took my Indian in-laws to Chaakoo in Glasgow's city center for a delightful sit-down meal. The place had a familiar vibe, almost like Dishoom's long-lost sibling. The staircase adorned with vintage Indian movie posters was a fun touch that won over my in-laws.
Our server explained that all dishes were tapas-style, suggesting we order 2 per person. My wife and I went for Afghani Tikka, lamb seekh kebab, kofta curry, and chicken Malbari curry. The flavors were out of this world, and the portions were surprisingly hearty. We accompanied our meal with lemon rice and garlic naan, which mopped up the curry deliciously.
My in-laws relished saag paneer and dhaal makhani, declaring it even better than Dishoom's offerings. Despite being quite full, we couldn't resist sharing a scoop of pistachio ice cream for just £1.75 – a sweet ending to the night.
Although the service needed a nudge now and then, our waitress eventually caught on. My only quibble was an overly enthusiastic hand with the salt shaker on my lamb kebab. Overall, Chaakoo provided a satisfying meal that didn't weigh heavily on the wallet. I'd rate it 4/5 – the food triumphed over Dishoom in taste, though not quite in terms of service and variety.

Gorgeous place with gorgeous food. We came in with no reservations on a Saturday evening looking for halal food and were lucky enough to wait some 15-ish minutes.
Hostess brought us to the bar area to have some drinks while we waited for our seats. The restaurant was packed and buzzing by then and when we were ushered to our seats, we kept bumping into servers and customers walking about. Some people might not like that, but I just love it. It just sort of adds to the lively atmosphere even more.
Got our food within another 15 min of ordering, and was served our Lamb Madras, Monkfish Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, chicken pakoras, some Masala fries and the Jeera and lemon rice.
Do you guys ever to a South Asian or curry place and find that everything tastes the same? Well, not here — all their curries were distinct from one another and it was such an enjoyable experience being able to savour them individually and then mixed and matched together.
The monkfish was particularly wonderful, and while usually such a dense fish, in the curry it was tender and delightfully sweet. The Lamb madras just melts in your mouth, warming you in all the right ways. Obviously the chicken tikka is a favourite, but it was bordering on boring if you ask me, but all in all, fantastic curries.
Even the side dishes we got were good: Chicken pakora were so, so tender and flavourful; rice was light and well-seasoned; we might’ve ordered too much carbs but again, can’t go wrong with the masala fries, lovingly spiced and seasoned. We took those to go in the end.
Service was great — our servers came in to check in with us twice and always seemed to be in good spirits. Everywhere you look, it’s such a picture. The old-school yet updated interiors and ambiance definitely lends to the coziness of the experience.
Will surely be back here the next time we’re in Glasgow again.

Awesome food,portion size is as per 1 person, if not too hungry that can be shared, ordering 2 dishes with some breads and a rice item should be sufficient for 2 people,staff is attentive and smart and proactive in their approach all orders were promptly announced and served with minimum given time. They looked happy and stress-free. Well done management team.
thank you team Chaakoo for making this one of highlight meal of our trip.

First time here staff very friendly. They advised food was small portions to order 3 each. As it was lunch time 1 was enough each. I had the meatball curry nice but spicy, we also had chicken korma and butter chicken also spicy. We had a lemon rice and sweet nan bread this was very messy as the nuts where on the outside. Cost £50 for 3 people to have lunch as they added a service charge. Pretty expensive if your buying 3 portions each.

No matter how many I visit this place I just couldn’t restrain myself going. Their service is blazing fast and staff are really polite. I would say must go place and you should definitely try their prawns tandoori, butter chicken, lamb seekh kebab and money fish. They are reasonably good.

I was really looking forward to eating here as I heard great things about the restaurant. It is lovely inside. It was a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't as busy as we had hoped, I hate to compare but we do love the buzz of Dishoom in Edinburgh and was expecting the same atmosphere but was a little disappointed. We ordered 9 dishes and they all came at once so some food was getting cold. The waiting staff sat people right beside us. That is fine if the restaurant was busy but it wasn't so found ourselves having to talk quietly. Pakora was lovely as were the hot wings. We found the Monkfish curry quite watery and masala fries were average. For small plates I do think the portion sizes were generous but overall we were just a little underwhelmed...

Visited for the first time with my wife for an evening meal, great Indian food, wonderful service & friendly staff. The lovely Bella described the menu which is based on small plates 'tapas' style which we prefer to a 2 or 3 course menu.
We started with a half pint of Raj Majal beer which was smooth & not gassy. I had Jinga Kushrang prawn curry which was delicious, my wife really enjoyed her Chicken Malbari. We shared the lemon rice & Peshwari nan which was fantastic.
All the staff are very attentive, Aileen in particular was exceptional.
Daniel McGrory — Google review
It's a really great idea for smaller tapas style dishes so you can try more of the menu with your mates. Definitely go here with a bunch of people after a hard day's chopping wood. It makes you feel like you deserve the flavours.
The chicken pakora was unfortunately a bit dry but the sauce was spot on. The garlic naan has raw garlic on it which didn't hit the spot. Just stick to the curries and you'll have a good night out.
Cool atmosphere, nice service.

Atmosphere here is just like old Bombay, yes not Mumbai.. you may relish their beautiful atmosphere . It is all tapas menu( small portion) . Delectable lamb biryani comes with 6 pieces of lamb. I don't like their Chai as it is simple cinnamon machine tea which Indian may not like..service is great. Love their garlic naan ,railway chicken...
It is always a busy restaurant.

Service is great, prices to match the amazing quality of food.
Highly recommend, will defo continue going again and again! 😋

This was good but maybe if I hadn't already visited their rival directly across the road I'd have rated higher. The lamb bhuna was a standout but our naan was cold when brought to the table & not overly impressed with the masala fries. They must have gone to a special shop for the ice cream scoop as at £1.75 for a single scoop ot really couldn't have been any smaller.

Great wee place on St Vincent St in the centre of Glasgow. Best to get there via public transport - 5 min walk from both Glasgow Central & Queen St.
On arrival front of house was welcoming & showed us to our table, of which we were clearly aware of the 90 min restriction.
Staff were immediately friendly & couldn’t soo enough to assist both with drinks, but critically also with advising whether we had ordered enough food, which I thought was excellent.
Food arrived promptly, all of high quality, and hot (except the coleslaw!) & was the perfect amount for the two of us, all washed down with some beer.
Staff remained attentive from the the moment you walked in until you left, with a particular big shout out to Alex, who was both funny, laid back but totally professional.
So to round up - excellent quality food, central location, very reasonably priced, more than adequate drinks selection, and outstanding customer service. Well done to you all - I’ll definitely be back!
The Gannet is a fine dining restaurant in the West End neighbourhood of Finnieston, Glasgow. The chefs have created a compact menu of both hearty and delicate dishes inspired by Scottish ingredients. The restaurant has quickly become a must-visit for foodies, and has garnered acclaim from critics as one of Scotland's best restaurants.
Was here for a lunch time tasting menu over eight courses. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was all high quality and filling. Tried some wine alongside the dishes and all rated highly.
Free parking is available nearby and there is plenty to do around the area if you do desire.
Price wise it is on the higher side but you are paying for the quality. Highly recommended.

Lovely service from Chloe, she made the dinner experience much better. Very friendly, chatty and natural. Taster menu was great, every dish gave a different hit of flavour.

Visited back in December as a pre-xmas treat, had a lovely time and enjoyed all the food and the service was friendly and attentive.
There were some great individual bits on offer across the menu and everything was very enjoyable, but nothing that really blew my socks off. I'd happily eat here again, but as it's on the pricey side it maybe missed some of the magic I look for at this price point to make me want to rush back.

Fantastic evening at The Gannet for our anniversary. From the get go we were warmly welcomed and looked after. Each course was incredible with high quality ingredients and attention to detail in the presentation and cooking. Seasoning spot on. We had such a great evening and we were gutted once it ended.
Thank you to Kevin, Connor and team for providing us with a great night and memory. They even gave us a personalised handwritten card to celebrate our anniversary which just goes to show the level of service you will receive here. Unbeatable.
Can't recommend the place enough. Can't wait to come back! Thanks again. Stephen

Fantastic tasting menu and matching wine. Smashing service with dishes and wines being explained. All the dishes were great, tasty and leaving you wanting some more. Matching wines we very good, great selections from Eastern Europe, some you just would t expect. We also added a fantastic cheese course and took a vegetarian option, instead of the beef tartare… service was excellent in this regard, nothing was a problem. Great night all round. We’ll be back for more.

Wonderful #tastingmenu @thegannetgla in #finneston last night.
The 6 course tasting menu included snacks and a pre-dessert and an optional cheese course (with is not really optional for me) 😏
Dishes were beautifully plated, creative and delicious. EVERY SINGLE COURSE had something interesting or exciting that captures your full attention be it an unexpected twist or just technically brilliant cooking.
Service was impeccable. Friendly, professional and informative. They make you feel welcome, understand the dishes very well and seem genuinely passionate about what they are serving (be it food or drinks).

An unbelievable experience! The food was utterly sublime, with every bite being a taste sensation. We took the 6 course tasting menu, as was an afternoon sitting, we didn’t choose the wine pairings. The cocktails were amazing, from a new twist on an old fashioned to the pink fizz!
The staff were great, they explained every course in detail and were very attentive throughout and we never felt rushed, even though we were there for over 3 hours.
Brilliant food in a lovely setting, we can’t wait to return!

Received a voucher for my birthday. Was an amazing meal! Food was top notch. Well deserved of the 3 rosettes. Servers were pleasant and knowledgeable. Only thing I would say re the service (and this is me being picky), sometimes if one of us got up to the bathroom, we would come back and our plates were already served which meant we missed out on the explanations, and also clearing bread cutlery away whilst we were eating the next course. This didn't detract from the overall experience though and feel like tiny little tweaks to the service would get them to a Michelin star.

The Scottish restaurant Bothy Glasgow offers a relaxed and cozy dining experience, serving modern twists on traditional classics. Tucked away in the bustling West End, this charming eatery exudes a warm and homely atmosphere with its wooden beams and stone walls. The menu features delicious Scottish cuisine, providing plenty of options to cater to different tastes. Private rooms are available for those seeking a more intimate dining experience.

What's not to like about the Bothy! Food was of good quantity and quality, served by helpful and friendly staff. It is a Glasgow must visit place.

I was delighted to be invited out for dinner on a bank holiday Monday via a terrific Aunty. We were entertaining a lovely couple visiting from America. The service was excellent and staff are friendly and attentive. We all had starters and mains , a few drinks and some deserts. The food is delicious with a lot of care and attention to details, presentation and taste ranges. Nothing can be faulted. As this was a treat I don’t know how much the bill was but I am sure it was eye watering as this is definitely a fine dining experience.

This is the first time we have visited for many years after tonight’s meal I really can’t understand why we waited so long! Everything was lovely and from my point of view nearly everything was Gluten Free. This is because they create their own sauces and reduce to thicken to enhance the flavour rather than add flour. The menu has game meat on the menu. I had smoked duck starter followed by venison ( see photos). Then my ultimate treat Gluten Free sticky toffee pudding. Our next visit will be soon, no way am I going to leave a long gap like last time 😎

Went for a Sunday roast (beef) which was great. Service was good, walked in a busy Sunday night with no reservation and was seen to right away.
Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious (sticky toffee pudding was unreal). Would recommend for a nice sit-down meal, spent 40 on roast dinner (surcharge for beef) with dessert and a pint which was fair for the quality of food

I went here for the Burns night with a friend and it was a spectacular evening, the atmosphere was wonderful, the staff were really good and attentive.
The food was great but not to the standard I would have expected for a higher end restaurant. I loved the haggis, neeps and tatties though the ham hock & lentil soup was just OK. The cranachan cheesecake was quite nice. My friend loved her salmon starter though felt the sticky toffee pudding was a bit heavy. She also thought the haggis was delicious.
The whisky flight was very good value for money considering the price of the bottles, I had the Isles one and would recommend it. We also had a few bottles of red wine, the cheaper ones tasted better than the more expensive bottle.
I'd definitely go back but would try other options on the menu along with another whisky flight 😀

I feel this is a place that rests on their laurels and could use some rejuvenation. The food mains were good, but somewhat salty on the sides and veg. The service was definitely lacking in promptness. Our mains came out nearly 1.5h after arriving (we had starters).

It’s a lovely restaurant area and the staff are very pleasant. The menu has several vegetarian and vegan 🌱 options which is great, but I think the quality of those courses is probably a bit below the meat dishes.

Really friendly staff, really fancy and tasty food. All arrived quickly. Really nice renovation since was last here. Definitely recommend. Is a little pricey but it’s definitely worth it as a treat as it reflects in the food and decor.
Bread Meats Bread is a restaurant specialized in burgers and BBQ sandwiches. The originality of their offerings and classic flavor combos make them stand out from the crowd. They have locations in Glasgow City Centre and Edinburgh, where visitors can enjoy their delicious burgers and BBQ sandwiches.
Amazing burgers!! Best I've had so far. The non alcoholic cocktails are really nice too. Great for kids, they have really good portions and they provide crayons and a menu they can draw on. The staff are lovely and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. Definitely going back soon!! One thing I would recommend is ordering a bowl of fries each, you won't want to share.

The place is nice. Staff are friendly, great and welcoming.
If compared to their previous place, I believe the previous one had a special vibe that is lost now. This new interior and branding is just normal like any other place.
I’ve ordered a cheeseburger and chips. Both were to normal standards.
Chips portion was big. Still, nothing that I would come back for, especially with this price.
I can have a cheeseburger, same quality if not better, with similar or even lower cost.
For the cheeseburger, It is mainly the butter that they use and count on for the flavor. Too buttery.
Butter and pepper amongst things that just overpower the taste of the beef itself.
The beef patty had chunks of chewy fat which was annoying.
Okay we understand the fat gives flavor, but don’t compromise other thing. Balance it better than this. Besides, the bread bun didn’t taste fresh.
Reem key — Google review
It blows my mind this place is part of a small chain because the flavour is out of this world. Its centrally located in Glasgow which makes it very easy to travel to on foot (but less so by car) and the restaurant has a great deal of foot and floor space so its unlikely there will be much of a wait if any even on busy weekends. The menu is very large and themed almost entirely around burgers and sides. The atmosphere is pretty rustic and the serving staff kind, but not too overbearing. The prices do tend to lean on the higher side but there is a lot of options with many being more affordable and I do think it's comparable to most burger-joints in the area.
Robby D — Google review
We've heard a lot about this place before visiting Glasgow so it was on our priority list to try. What actually differentiates from other bruger joints is the friendly service and the variety of menu items. We tried their beef burgers alongside the chips. The taste was good but not the best out in this world. My overall rating is very good.

I had the Bacon Cheeseburger, Chips (Fries), and a Large Irn Bru.
I have an onion allergy and they took it very seriously, and I was very thankful. My mother is very sensitive to gluten, and they cooked everything on separate fryers/grills.
The burger itself was almost like something from Heaven, I loved every bite of it. The combinations on it were amazing and the presentation was outstanding as well.
The Chips/Fries were amazing, perfectly fried, seasoned well, and just delicious in general. I even finished my mom’s fries because she got full.
The Irn Bru was absolutely amazing, I would choose it over Coca Cola anyday.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a nice burger.

LUTHER BURGER was so great🤩🤩
I tried the donut burger for the first time and I was so pleasantly surprised. But the grilled bacon was a bit too salty for me 🤣
Cheap prices, perfect burgers, nice environment, friendly service! I love this restaurant!

Today I came on my brothers birthday with my 2 brother, my mum and dad. When I came in someone got us a table in about 1 minute as she had to move two tables together so it could fit 5 like what always happens when all of us go to restaurants because we’re an odd number of people, after we got seated we ordered our drinks and the drinks came quite quickly which makes sense as we all just orded soft drinks. Probably 5-10 minutes afterwards, we ordered our food which took about 10 minutes to come out. I got an extra which was kimchi fries and they were absolutely beautiful and were as spicy as I expected, my dad got the Angry Bird which I took a picture of too late and it was already half eaten but it was spicy with good kick, my mum got a Reuben Sandwich, the meat was tender and tasty and a great sandwich, my brother (the birthday boy) got an Ayia Napa burger, the bacon was crispy, it was saucyand the halloumi was also crispy, my other brother who is older than my other brother had the New York Dog and it looked fantastic and lived up to it being a gourmet hot dog. We also got a salad which was spicy but very good. My dads espresso went down a treat with the little Lotus biscoff accompanying it. My brothers milkshake looked amazing and it was a great size.
The atmosphere was comfortable and industrial which made it really feel cozy and comfortable and it was just a very nice environment.
Overall the food was delightful and there was a great atmosphere. Nothing wrong with anything!

Food was nice. Shame about the attitude of two staff members. I planned to pay the bill with my card. Needed the toilet first and a staff member was there asking me if I was ready to pay my bill. I told her yes but I'm going to the toilet first, to which she said ok. I paid when I came out. However while I was in the toilet she approached my friend at the table and asked for bill to be paid. My friend told her that I'm paying it with my card but I'm just in toilet first. She returns to her two seconds later with the card machine and my friend says again it isn't her that's paying it's me with my card and I'm in the toilet. She cheekily told my friend "just you sit there then". My friend noticed the staff member looking at another staff member smirking at each other. Obviously assumed we were trying to do a runner without paying. Based on the attitude of these two staff members, we won't be back. However the waiter who took our order and guided us to our table was really friendly and professional.

There’s a wide selection of food on the menu which is great but I wasn’t quite sure what the overall vibe was and it was a bit disorientating.
The dishes like the truffle/park tots don’t feel thought out - everything just dumped in there at a cost of £5.50 and they could have been more cohesive as a dish.
I had a plant burger which tasted like it was purchased from a supermarket - maybe branching out into Beyond Meat would work better.
The staff were nice and kind but left feeling a bit like I wasn’t sure what the fuss was.

What can I add to the multitude of excellent reviews of Bread Meats Bread that are already here? I think I'm addicted to this place. If I'm in Glasgow and want food this is the first place I think of.
Known for the burgers I actually love the sandwiches. The party melt is amazing. Combined with Bacon Fries - oh man I want some now!

I really enjoyed this burger lunch with exceptionally tasty food and staff who are attentive, professional & friendly too, who are on the ball when it comes to waiting. I would have liked a less expensive bill but the food is well worth it as you don't really have to opt for any extras. Lots of choice!
I suffer from anxiety so although the decor is beautiful - the bright lighting and bustle was a little bit too much for me at the time. It wasn't too crowed nor too empty Friday lunchtime, I'd say.
A service charge of 10% was added to the bill which, wasn't a problem as I really wanted to tip the excellent staff.
The open kitchen and 60's style neon of the decor is stylish, too!
Would return.

Detailed review 📒 🖊️
I have tried a handful of burgers all over the UK. I must say, my first dining experience at this restaurant was quite memorable. Until I changed my mind.
We went on a busy Thursday afternoon. The staff were welcoming. We ordered Sunshine on beef, Truffle Shuffle, barbeque chicken and tater totes. All of them tasted splendid.
Dwelling a bit deeper onto the taste, the burgers were appetizing and the smell made us more hungry. I still vividly remember my first bite. It was juicy, with a wide range of flavours getting released. When I went for my second bite, I could feel the subtle use of buttermilk used in the chicken. It was so fat heavy (I mean in a good way) that it cherished our meat digesting gut bacteria! I even rejoiced in the taste of the light burnt bun as well. What a flavour! I knew this got to be one of my best burger eating experiences. I definitely didn't expect that in Glasgow. The bbq chciken was alright, but the mayonnaise sauce elevated its flavour. Tater totes is a must try if you like to give your mouth a small break from chewing the massive burger bites.
On the contrary, my second experience turned out to be beyond disappointing. I was so pumped up to visit this restaurant, given its terrific first impression. I was rooting for the restaurant so much that perhaps the regression effects of my taste experience were more harsh than I had expected. The second time I ordered the same food, there weren't any salt. It tasted like a plain simple burger, with none of the nuances that I mentioned before. It didn't have the same magic it did before. I wouldn't have complained if the 'Wow' factor alone was missing. This time it was below average. Felt like the efforts that went into making was missing.
I shared my disappointment with the staff. I hope they took that feedback in a positive way.
Feels bad when you can't leave a 5 star for a restaurant that made your taste buds resonate in a never-seen-before fashion.

Great little burger place with really good local food right next to five guys. But the 2 does not compare so if you have space in this place choose this over the other one which became a fast food quality at best.
We had 2 burgers in the daily lunch menu - good deal midday, good portion great taste. The desserts are good but not their strong suit, the Apple pie was the best.
Plenty of space for buggy users or wheelchair users. Nice staff good service.

I visited years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the meal, being back in Glasgow and nostalgia caught the best of me so I decided to head back.
Just disappointment.
The venue is beautiful and the staff are attentive but the main reason for visiting a restaurant is its food and this was a let down.
I stayed simple and went with a cheeseburger and some spicy fries, portion size was borderline what I'd expect for a childs meal. That's not coming from a place of greed but for the price they charge I was expecting something more substantial.
Burger was unexceptional, nothing bad but also nothing great.
I know it's 'just' a cheeseburger, but I'd even argue some of the fast-food places have better tasting cheeseburgers.
So for this basic burger and fry combo it came to a total of £18.15 including the 'optional' 10% service charge which I was only told about at the point of handing over my card to pay.
Considering Five Guys is next door, I feel if I had the choice again - It would be them and not Bread Meats Bread.

So I had a poutine there along with a smash burger on friday night and it was incredibly delicious. I told the server I would remember his name but I don't, his name was not Kate, as indicated on my receipt since Kate got the receipt for me while the server was away at other tables.
So going back to the food, I am from Quebec and I must say this is my first time seeing poutine that incredibly well made outside of where it is from. Cheese was perfect and a really close fit from the one back home. Gravy was also super good with a slight peppery taste which added to the dish.
The smash burger was also super good, as a smash burger should. Service was really great from both the guy who is not named Kate and also from Kate.
Thanks for receiving me and hope I can visit again when I come back to Glasgow !

this place was amazing, the staff were friendly and the decor and music inside creates a lovely atmosphere. i‘m not from glasgow so haven’t been able to revisit but if i come again i will definitely be going back just to get the ayia napa burger, still think about it often and it was the best burger i’ve had in my 20 years of life, the house sauce was amazing and the quality of ingredients were great. 10/10. (also the pastrami sandwich was just as delectable)
Cup Tea Lounge Glasgow is a beautiful tea house with tile mosaics and archways available for cakes and light meals. Cup Tea Rooms are currently offering a takeaway collection service during the lockdown. With an exquisite Victorian interior, Cup Tea Lounge is perfect for a daytime outing in Glasgow.
Loved this place. A traditional Glasgow tea room serving large pots of tea and excellent cake. In this case, lemon drizzle. Friendly service in a beautiful setting.

We came for the afternoon tea, and it was delightful. I have never been to a traditional afternoon tea before and this was fun and what I thought it would be like. It was A LOT of food. We had sandwiches, scones, and desserts as well as tea and/or coffee. We had good service and the location was handy. I definitely recommend.
We did reserve ahead of time, but the restaurant appeared to be able to accommodate without a reservation.

As we arrived we stood back to let 2 ladies outside and they stopped to say first time for them too,they had thoroughly enjoyed and hoped our experience would be just as enjoyable and it was.
Greeted at the door and shown to our table. A previous call received to check whether any special diet requirements was again double checked with us.
Food was lovely,tasty and fresh. Scones were lovely,pastries tasty.
Beautiful surroundings,relaxed atmosphere and both members of staff friendly ,polite and attentive.

It was very nice atmosphere/decor! Afternoon tea was a bit pricey for what it was, could do with refining the menu a bit - too many savoury things that didn't seem very high quality - 3 big rolls with little filling, plus a couple other tiny things. Service was good though.

The Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow city centre is a grand Art Nouveau style tea house that offers guests a delicious selection of tea from over 25 types. The elegant high backed chairs and leaded glass windows make it an iconic and popular place to enjoy a cup of tea.
This was an amazing and unique experience to see the famous architect Macintosh ‘s work in real life and have a dinning experience as well. The tea was Sooooo… good. You got to get cloud nine!! This was really well done and vary infinitive. I love how one can see Macintosh’s wonderful influences in the modern design movement and I think everyone should experience this!! What a cool piece of history.

Exemplary service, beverages, and food. I love that they have soymilk (and other nondairy options too).
I’d love to know where I can buy the chocolate used in the hot chocolate, because that was hands-down the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had! It was so dark and rich but not bitter! Loved the flavor profile!
Excellent tea-selection.
Great gift shop and location!
Hope I can come back someday :-).

A lovely English traditional afternoon tea experience with impeccable service. It is a bit of a climb up all the stairs so probably not suited for the elderly, or those with prams. Really excellent coffee with a generous sized serving of cake. Highly recommended.
Alistair McLean — Google review
A bit of an underwhelming experience, given the hype and the 5-star reviews. The booking and front desk service were great, but the wait staff seemed rushed and not very knowledgeable. We were told that the cheesecake of the day was salted caramel, but a strawberry one showed up instead.
It was also very weird that only the afternoon tea came had scones served with clotted cream, while the scones ordered separately came with either butter or whipped cream - which is not normal at all... I've never seen whipped cream served with scones! It's almost as if they wanted to cut corners and save money by not offering clotted cream outside of the afternoon tea, and serve cheaper whipped cream instead.
On the positive side, the goat cheese salad was excellent and the sandwiches were quite okay. The plain scones, sadly, were dry and not served warm. The tea was okay (we tried two different varieties - the Scottish breakfast and the Assam Darjeeling blend), but nothing to write home about. Coffee was average, unremarkable.
All in all, it was a bit of a disappointing experience and we've definitely had significantly better afternoon teas and scones elsewhere in the UK. I think this place may have fallen victim to being featured/advertised on the tour buses and travel blogs, and the hype surrounding the history. Maybe it used to be great, but it seems like they need to revisit their offering now.

This is the second time im going to Willow Tea rooms and there is no place else I’ll go for an afternoon tea. The food, the staff and the ambience are all 10/10.
Please book early if you want the best seats of the house as this place is very packed on busy days.
Tea:
Definitely do try the China Rose petal if you are keen to try a strong tea.
Of course their Scones are 🤌🏾.
Now go ahead and enjoy your experience in Mackintosh prints and Furniture. For those interested there is also a wee gift shop filled with goodies. We got China Petal rose tea for ourselves.

We went for afternoon tea for our wedding anniversary. We booked online, which was easy to do.
The service was all very swift and efficient.
The loose leaf breakfast tea was delicious and there was plenty of it.
We had a vegetarian afternoon tea and the variety of sandwiches was really nice. We had the lemon meringue pie and carrot cake as our choice of cake with the tea and both were delicious.
Will definitely come again.

good food, for breakfast i had the french toast which was great as i could decide how much maple syrup on- what’s not to like! (well the price, arguably the food could be a bit more wow for what you pay for)
very poncy review now, but the chinese rooms up above are a lot more on theme- i think if you put the cross hatched wood in the bottom floor it would elevate the experience a little extra- the only on theme thing really was the chairs and lights, we expected a little more.

Wanted to share our fabulous experience with Bella! At the Glasgow location, Bella was an absolutely amazing server. We asked her for her recommendations, not knowing she was some sort of tea connoisseur!😂
She was kind and gave great recommendations. Very attentive without hovering. The entire experience was pleasant; I took my mother on a busy Saturday, and we were seated relatively quickly. The tea was delicious, and the food was amazing. The sweets, I especially loved! But Bella went above and beyond and made the experience even better!

We booked afternoon tea on a Sunday just before lunchtime, it was very busy so would recommend booking if you're planning to drop in on a weekend. We had the traditional and savoury afternoon tea, and they were delicious, fresh and a great value for money. The atmosphere was great, we had one of the window bench tables and the service was quick and pleasant.
Recommend visiting as they do all day afternoon tea which you can't find in many places, the strawberry tart was also delicious and you can pick a cake as part of the traditional tea, the savoury comes with a selection of coronation chicken puff pastry, haggis cracker, sausage roll slice and mini quiche.

On a recent visit to Glasgow we visited the Willow Tea Rooms for breakfast and we were not disappointed.
We enjoyed scrambled eggs with sourdough toast, one with smoked salmon and one with haggis. Absolutely delicious.
The staff were friendly and courteous and appeared genuinely interested in your day.
Everywhere was spotlessly clean.
It is definitely worth a visit.

The Champagne Afternoon tea served as a special birthday treat for my Mum, and ensuring she had a delightful time was my top priority. I'm thrilled to say that she thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite the bustling and well-loved location in the heart of the city, catering to both tourists and locals, we never felt hurried to leave. The sandwiches were simple but delightful, and the kind server (whose name slipped my mind) accommodated a small change for my Mum, who isn't fond of smoked salmon. The scones were freshly baked, the homemade jam was a nice touch, and the Lemon Meringue and Cheesecake were fantastic.
The attentive staff made sure every part of our experience at the Willow Tea Room was a friendly one. From walking in the busy reception to being seated practically straight away for our reservation. The girls who served us and the other staff members we came across were so friendly, a true testament to the Willow Tea Rooms & they deserve a raise.
Overall, it was a perfect 10/10 experience.
The Finnieston is a trendy eatery and bar in Glasgow known for its locally-sourced seafood and unique beers. Once a 19th-century Drovers Tavern, it now combines a sophisticated gin bar and a fine seafood restaurant. Their cocktail menu, called Undiscovered Depths, draws inspiration from local art culture and maritime themes, featuring watercolor illustrations of sea creatures.
Stunning experience from start to finish - attentive waiting staff. Incredible oysters and lobster. Wine list was amazing - do you need anything else in life? ;)

The food was quite tasty but the portions were small, in my opinion. So, I think it is slightly overpriced for what you get (I might just be biased though as I haven't been to many seafood restaurants in the UK).
The table was sticky, which gave the impression it hadn't been cleaned properly.
The atmosphere of the place was quite nice though, and the staff was friendly.

Not only does this place serve up some delicious food (mussels and cider braided chorizo are 10/10) but it also offers a nice selection of cocktails and mocktails! The garden is lovely with heat lamps and blankets, and is also covered so there is no worries about rain or bad weather. This is a cozy little spot to have a great meal with good people. Will 100% be returning!

A fantastic seafood experience with outstanding and friendly service to boot!
Portions were great, and fairly priced considering the high standard of cuisine on offer.
The Finnieston is a comfortable leather bound experience that is warm, welcoming and filled with a sense of classic style, while having all the modern finishings of the present day dining experience.
Our particular visit also featured an eclectic mix of weekend holidaymakers, business meetings, food fanatics and an already inclusive experience.
A Top choice for seafood in Glasgow.

It was delicious 😍 2021
Longed for fresh local produce seafood.
Very impressed with the scallops and lobster £20.
Like the fact that they stated the price of the lobster on the menu and give us some idea of the cost. Mussels were huge !!! You can tell the experience of the chef, no over cooking !! Lobster also cooked to perfection with making it too dry and gummy. My only disappointment was the oysters. Have to say one of the oyster was so small that I thought it was a leftover.
Otherwise, the environment , interior deco and hygiene standard was great ! We enjoyed the meal so much !!! Thank you
2022.... A year later we went back. More disappointment than enjoyment. The 1/2 lobster was £14 MORE expensive than last year !! (It is delicious but I would recommend to serve w a sharper knife). The lobster macaroni was totally overpriced like a microwave macaroni cheese with 2 mouthfuls of lobster for £24 !! The crème brulée was not v smooth, good taste, but not quite even in temperature. Haddock fish and chips was a bit bland and dry. The fish batter was a bit soggy. Oysters were tiny and thin (probably due to the warm weather). Some potato chips was under cooked.

I really liked this place. It's nice, cosy and well decorated on the inside. The food was very well presented and most importantly was delicious. I tried the gnocchi and I have to say it was something else, would highly recommend. Shrimp Mac n cheese was average. The staff were delightful and made the whole experience better. Great stuff. Given the prices though I would expect nothing less - it's all rather expensive.

We were only here for a few drinks after dinner close by. My companion craved an old fashioned bourbon style and I wasn't quite sure what I wanted from the cocktail menu but quite fancied something Amaretto based. Our server gleefully took up the challenge and did not disappoint, our drinks were made with skill and attention to detail and served to us at the table. Both were sipped excitedly, while the conversation was less awe inspiring 😉 the background music and cute little dog next to us made it an even more enjoyable experience. We did have another couple of cocktails which I remember being equally delicious but by this point we were both suitably inebriated to render the details of these lost to the history of the Finnieston's traditional interior.

I got to celebrate my birthday at The Finnieston and had an absolutely incredible dining experience.
First I should emphasise that you need to get a reservation. Even if you think it's going to be a slow day or want to try your luck, eat your pride and reserve the table. We watched lots of people get very sadly turned away.
Also, this place is dog friendly so bring your well behaved companion for other customers to baby talk to.
The service here was so good. I was torn between different dishes and the server very kindly suggested an off the menu seafood platter. It had everything I was wanting to try from the entrees, but on a platter. The portion was incredibly generous for myself and my partner and the accompanying chips were fried perfectly. We also got a spiced Panna Cotta which was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail selection. We'll definitely be back and The Finnieston has a permanent spot on my list of recommendations for visitors.
Stravaigin, a renowned Scottish eatery established in 1995, offers unique culinary creations utilizing wild ingredients such as grey squirrel, hedgerow herbs, and sea urchins. The restaurant's ambiance captures the essence of aimless wandering with its rustic charm - think exposed stone walls, roaring fireplaces, wooden beams adorning the ceiling, and enchanting floor-to-ceiling windows that open fully during summer months.
Outstanding meal. Party of 8, everyone loved the food, some going as far as saying it was the meal of the year.
Only recommendation is for a really elevated dining experience, order the starters and the regular mains, not the Stravaigan staples. The staples are also fantastic, but not the same level of refinement (which is not what it’s trying to be as it is a bar as well). Ultimately you can’t really go wrong though!
Service was also impeccable. Extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly staff.
Will be returning as soon as possible!

I went for the Sunday set meal, the haggis neeps tatties with pepper sauce starter were excellent. The roast beef with vegetables was not as good. The glazed carrot was just a small slice of carrot, the beef was quite rare. I was not given the choice of how I would like my beef. The roast potatoes were nice but few in number. The broccoli and cauliflower cheese were fine. We did wait a long time for the main to turn up.

Have loved visiting here over the years when visiting Glasgow. But we had a VERY underwhelming visit before Christmas. Boy, that was forgotten when we visited last Wednesday. The food was top notch, the beers pretty good and the vibe and forest wonderland chic by the bar dead cool. But the best part was the young woman who seated and served us. She was marvellous. Warm, efficient, professional, kind and charming. She was amazing. Thank you 😊

This restaurant was highly recommended, we came but didn't book a table, we were seated behind the bar and we understood because it was our mistake, but the waiters bypassed us and ignored us, they always left somewhere, we couldn't even call anyone . When it came time to eat, no one informed us that the food we ordered would be so spicy, the menu did not say so. The mussels were peppered with jalapeño, which was not mentioned on the menu, and the curry prawns were super spicy. When we reported this to the waiter, he said that we should have warned him and he would have brought us yogurt to reduce the burning sensation, this is very funny, we didn’t expect this, we expected everything, but not this response. The atmosphere was very good, but the evening was completely ruined.

After a brisk walk through Kelvin Park we arrived at Stravaigin, the Cellar. We were seated after my partner managed to smash a glass through careless control over her hand bag. We were presented with menus and I chose the Haggis Neaps and Tatties which came as three equal sized portions with sesame seeds. I followed this with steak, chips and pepper corn sauce. The waiter checked back on us a few times which was a nice touch. The desert was a small meringue with a sorbet and so apple shavings???
We had coffee, paid the bill and thanked the waiter.
This is a nice place to eat in a busy local venue.

Honestly very disappointed to be scoring this restaurant a 3 star.
However we came with high hopes it was almost as highly recommended as the Ox and Finch (which was sublime) and didn't deliver.
It's not that it was bad, but nothing was excellent, exciting or particularly memorable. The service was good, most of the food was good (except the chilli special, which was just poor. I understand why they got knocked out of the chilli cook off now). But unfortunately the whole experience was just drab, the cellar decor is like a bad throwback to the 1980s Italian fish restaurants, not in a good way.
Honestly get the feeling this is a business running off its historical goodwill rather than breaking and new ground.

We had an early dinner and we loved our server, she recommended some amazing local scotland dishes for us to try.
We ordered tonns of food and drinks. We were clearly hungry!! Lol
The ambience was quite amazing. The crowd was gr8. Ample of sitting space apart from the bar area. Some families with younger kids were even sitting outside.
The artifacts and rustic look stole it for me.
All the dishes that we ordered were really tasty..we goobled them all. From Haggis to leeks to burgers, we enjoyed them throughly. What a fun place.
Must visit if in glassgow.

Great place for a dinner, we seated upstairs which it was quite and perfect for a date with candlelight atmosphere.
The menu wasn’t too big so we order 3 small plates and one big plate which was perfect portions for two people.
Good pairing of unexpected ingredient but all the dishes tasted very good.
I would definitely go back and try other dishes

Excellent place. Even though I didn't know you had to make a reservation, they seated us at the bar area and served great food. Selection was limited because they had a "busy weekend" and was out of steak and some other assorted menu items. I had the haggis to start and pork belly as a main. Superb!

Had a gift voucher to spend but definitely a place to go for excellent service and food as a treat. Sat upstairs which had low ceilings so if you are claustrophobic I would sit downstairs. Starters was the caramelised tofu to share and it was superb (forgot to ask what the sauce was) - recommend! Mains were rump steak and ox cheek, and chunky chips (crispy on the outside and fluffy inside). Steak was cooked to perfection, very tender and the sauce it came with went well with our side of chips; ox cheek fell apart, there wasn't any need for a knife, and the sauce was rich. Anyways, our server Cameron was attentive and friendly, the rest of the team - Marquis, Ilaeria and Sophie were on the ball! Hats off to the sous chef for doing well with the steak (sorry Head Chef looks like they raised the bar).

Had a fab meal today for Sunday lunch! Felt like royalty and the food was outstanding!
The staff were so attentive especially Ilaeira and Morven, kitchen staff went the full hog and beef roast was just so tender, not sure how they achieve such excellence in taste and flavour but everything was cooked to perfection. Cocktails were also top notch especially the espresso martini! Could have had more if we had more time. Really enjoyed sitting by the cosy fireplace and was nice to be accompanied by a few waggy tails next to us. Really was ant least 5 stars all round, keep being authentic and original!

Probably one of the best places in Glasgow for great local food. A very beautifully made interior of the restaurant puts you in a cozy atmosphere. The service is super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food itself is just great - delicious, from local ingredients and just an explosion for your taste buds. A reservation is definitely necessary as it is a well-known and good-visited spot in Glasgow.
West is a Bavarian-style brewery and restaurant in Glasgow Green, which specializes in Central European beer styles. The brewery's five beers are all brewed in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, the Reinheitsgebot.
The food at West on the Green was very good. We found the server to be friendly and very service oriented. The food was delicious - we tried several entries that we had never eaten before - the portions were of healthy size and meals were well seasoned. It was an EXCELLENT dining experience. The only negative was that we had a difficult time finding the place - Goggle Maps lead us astray, but it was worth the aggravation.

One of the best family and dog friendly places to go to in Glasgow. Amazing fresh food, huge portions and great value for money. We turned up on a Saturday without booking and they were very accommodating even though it was busy. We waited about 15 minutes. Kids menu has a good variety. Also no rush to have the table back which made for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. The side portion of onion rings is well worth the extra.(massive).
The beers speak for themselves. Don't think to come here for the food but we will be back.

West Brewery offers a delightful experience for beer enthusiasts and food lovers alike. The beer selection is exceptional, with standouts like St Mungo and West 4. Notably, for designated drivers, the surprisingly tasty Nix had us double-checking its non-alcoholic status, given its exceptional flavor.
The ambiance channels the spirit of a traditional German beer hall, adding to the authenticity of the experience. As for the food, it's nothing short of fantastic, reminiscent of the hearty fare you'd expect in such an establishment.
In addition to the great brews and delicious food, West Brewery also offers informative brewery tours. These tours provide insight into the brewing process and the history behind their craft, making for a well-rounded experience for visitors. Whether you're stopping by for a pint, a meal, or a tour, West Brewery delivers quality, flavor, and knowledge in every aspect of their operation. Highly recommended for a casual afternoon out or a gathering with friends.

Excellent fish and chip with WEST FLIGHT for 4 beers of your choices. BAKED HAKE RATATOUILLE is nicely matched with fresh vegetables with rosemary, sautéed potatoes and bread, WEST DIPPING STEAK are nicely cooked with crispy chips and salad. It is so nicely decorated and organized restaurant with great selection of beers for your enjoyment. Black West is the beer I liked most as it is full with dark chocolate and malty flavors with hint of bitterness.

Nice outdoor area and good selection of drinks, but the food was poor. Ordered the vegan version of the loaded fries, ended up with just two out of four toppings due to stock issues. Queried this with staff but was still charged the full amount for the meal, which tasted pretty bad overall.

We had a great experience here. Super friendly staff, delicious beers (I got a flight of 4 of their own beers which came in 1/3 pints of each), amazing and tasty German food, all at a great price! The curry wurst was super flavorful and they were nice enough to let us upgrade our fries to jager fries, and wow - the jager sauce was fantastic! The spatzle with smoked cheese was excellent as well. The hall was very large and the tables were well spaced. We will definitely be returning in the warmer months to take advantage of the great location on the green!

Had a great tour of the WEST brewery in Glasgow. Fabulous old building and really interesting tour with our guide Paddy. Loved the tasting session at the end of the tour, then went upstairs for few drinks in the busy bar. Great place to spend a Friday evening with friends. Restaurant was busy and the outdoor space was sunny with good views of the park.

I have always been a massive fan of WEST, we made a visit last week which unfortunately if it was my first visit would certainly have been my last visit.
We arrived and we were seated quickly. We were left for at least 20 minutes without any drinks or food orders being taken, the place wasn't busy. The gent serving wasn't particularly friendly and informed us that the menu had just changed the prior day. The 3 of us at the table ordered the sandwich options, steak, meatball and caprese, they are priced between £6&£9 for the sandwich alone. You can add a side of soup or salad for £4, saving you 50p on the cost of a side of chips ordered separately. We also ordered the newly to menu corn ribs priced at £5
The food arrived and was unfortunately not up to much, the steak in the sandwich was grizzly and chuck, the caprese sandwich had one soft slice of bread and one hard slice and the meatballs were lovely. The added chips arrived in the smallest bowl at least 1/3 of the size of the usual portion but only 50p less. Definitely order separately if you intend to add chips, you will get much better value for money. The corn ribs were not upto much they had too much garlic and paprika powder poured over them that the taste was nothing but powder.
We sat another 20 minutes of so at the end waiting to catch someone's attention for the bill. It took us getting up to leave for the waiter to come after us to present the bill.
Such a shame given the previous great experiences.

Great place and I cannot fault the beer I would give it 6 stars if could!!
That aside when we went there it was fathers day so things were quite busy but the service etc was quite slow to the table and we had to prompt the server to come over
When ordering they had also run out of quite a few things as well and that's to be expected
When I ordered I had the steak, medium rare, it was quite tough and I would have sent it back had i not been as hungry
Cannot fault the staff who were lovely and attentive with good recommendations for the pints so thank you
I would go back though as the beer was amazing 👏 👌

The perfect wedding venue!
My partner and I flew from Canada for this wedding and planned it all over Zoom and email. As you can imagine, we were really nervous as we wouldn't see our venue until the day before we got married. The staff at WEST put our mind at ease (special thanks to Arlene, the events coordinator, for answering our many questions)!
The day was busy for WEST due to the Great Scottish Run finishing on the Green at the same time, but that didn't stop them from helping us with any questions or issues and making sure our wedding went smoothly.
We got married in the Hop room with 24 guests and it was the perfect size. The staff then moved us out in to the ballroom for a small drinks reception while my husband and I got photos out on the green and they changed the room for dinner. It was quick and efficient and set up beautifully with our small flower arrangements. The food was amazing and I still think about it! They catered to all the dietary restrictions my group had with no troubles. After that, they asked us to head to the back one more time to change it into our reception before welcoming us back for dancing.
We are so thankful for WEST hosting our wedding and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

A great place for food and great beers. A variety of seating options, with a limited but very good menu for the barside and outdoor tables.
Advance booking recommended for the restaurant, especially at weekends.
The Berliner burger was brilliant, and I'll be back for the chip shop trio soon. TBH , it's worth visiting even just for the pommes and currywurst ketchup 😋 There are also good vegan/veggie options.
Staff always friendly and attentive, and the location is (well behaved) dog friendly.

Great place for beer! Unfortunately this time the food wasn't up to scratch. We booked for a Sunday evening 6:30 ... seated quickly but it took 20 minutes, or so, to get a drinks order taken.
After we asked for our order to be taken we were informed they didn't have a lot left. Disappointing as my partner had been looking forward to the WURSTplatter! No corn ribs or meatballs available either. We ended up getting the dipping steak which was a pretty rubbish cut of meat.
The desserts, sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake were nice. The pretzels aren't great. 'Auntie Anne's' are still the best!
Can't fault them for the beers and when we finally received service it was from helpful, friendly staff. Hopefully next time we visit the food will be better!

We arrived with our dog around 5.30. The place was busy, but not full as some tables available. Waitress tried to place us a table where staff would be walking around which with a dog wasn’t ideal. Asked to move to a quieter table which seemed to be a difficult question for them. They did move us.
Few drinks and some food, both of which were good.
Service was poor tbh. Kinda of felt like our waitress couldn’t really be bothered. It’s clear the staff obviously have their specific roles and they didn’t like being asked to do something out with it.
On our last round I ordered a margarita cocktail, but was told they didn’t have any…..so I ordered an old fashioned and my partner a half pint. Her half pint arrived and I was told that they didn’t have the ingredients for an old fashioned. I complained that that was the 2nd cocktail that they didn’t have and why didn’t they tell me this before bringing my partners drink. As I said above, the service is poor, which is a shame as it’s a nice pub with decent food.

Great spot for a drink on a sunny day but have only given three stars because I was shocked at the stingy portion of chips - for £4! Literally just a small handful, didn’t even fill half of the tiny container. Would not order food here again 😡

Absolutely horrific customer service at West Brewery yesterday. We arrived at 2:45 and the venue only had a few tables seated. We waited well over 40 minutes for a member of staff to come over to take our drinks order despite there being 8 staff on shift. We were completely ignored despite other groups coming in well after us who were seated had drinks and food served to them in this time frame. On 4 occasions my wife went over to a member of staff to ask if someone could take our order to be told "we will be with you in 2 minutes" and other members of staff walking in the complete opposite direction to avoid her. This all was extremely stressful as we had our 5 month old baby with us and we were on a time schedule. We finally got our drinks order despite being there for well over an hour and then had to wait another 20 minutes for someone to come over to take our food order (again despite there being loads of staff in the premises who were more interested in talking to each other). We eventually got our food which was completely underwhelming. The Jager Schnitzel was not traditional. It had no breadcrumbs on it and was literally a fried sausage with little flavour.
Literally one of the worst places I have ever been to for the service in my life. All of the staff seemed not interested. Overall we were in West for almost 2 hours for some fried food and 1 beer each which is diabolical. I would understand if the place was extremely busy and short staffed but it was not (the tables were only a quarter full).
Will definitely not be back and will not be recommending to others.

We've been here before, but I've never left a review.
So I will for today's visit which was, as always, wonderful.
Ann-Marie was our waitress and she was so nice! Really cheery and made conversation, including a fair few laughs 😃
She checked on us and our food without being intrusive. She also helped my husband when he bought some beer to take home.
The food was superb, I mean really good, tasty and well presented.
Ann-Marie took the time to explain portion sizes etc as, although I have a healthy appetite, I have a small belly capacity lol, so I hate ordering big portions that I know I'll never make a dent it, even with hubby's help 😜
It was a really lovely couple of hours, very nice, good quality 🍺 beer. Great food, comfy and lovely place, fab staff and then home on the train.
Next time we will defo do the brewery tour!

Three of us for lunch and the food was excellent! I had the steak burger with fries and coleslaw which was very tasty. The other two had the currywurst sausages and fries and the other had the chicken burger with fries. Everything was very tasty. The service was good and the staff friendly. Dog friendly. We will return.
Named after one of the most cult-classic films in cinema history, Lebowskis is a bar that's perfect for fans of the Coen Brothers. With nods to the film's bowling-inspired decor, this bar offers huge cocktail choice, classic pub fodder, and some of the best burgers in Glasgow. So if you're looking for a place to have a good time with friends, Lebowsksis is definitely worth checking out.
Cracking pub/club in West End of Glasgow. Eclectic crowd. Friendly people. Excellent staff members. Fantastic ambience. Wide spectrum of drinks on offer. Fast service. Excellent music provided by a DJ who knows his profession. First but definitely not the last time there. Great place to spent time with friends or even on your own

I will admit when I looked at the menu I was a bit dubious due to the price of the burgers, but, after ordering I can confirm it was 100% worth every penny!! Super delicious food and very friendly staff. Only downside was that the bar itself was a little cold (but that could also be due to the fact I had got caught in torrential rain while walking there) 🤷🏼♀️🤣
Other note is that the bar was decently packed so maybe if you’re bringing a few folk call ahead if you’re going at a busy period.
Would definitely go here again and highly recommend it.

Dog friendly indoors.
The chicken burger was better than bucks bar.
Pint of cola was that syrup stuff which is brilliant.
Booth style set up where you don't feel like your sitting with the people at the next table.
Mayo ect.. in bottles so you can have as much as you like.
Cheesecake was top drawer.
Service was quick and cheerful.
Pricing was good value for that level of food.
All in 10/10 experience, we will be back.

6 of us visited on Saturday at 3pm,as we entered and sat down a girl who was walking about the bar floor looking at a laptop in hand said you cant sit there its reserved.
Then told us there were seats round the corner,which were right at the gents and ladies toilets, not very nice so we only had the one drink and crossed the rd to the Brass Monkey which was much nicer and chilled inside.
I have to say the guy that served me in Lewboskis was fine.

We were off to the Armadillo for a wee night out and needed somewhere nearby to eat beforehand. This was a perfect bar and restaurant. The food was fabulous. Tasty burgers, spicy foods, and a good range of other things on the menu.
A live band started to play, and we would have stayed on if it hadn't been for our plans. Service was good. Understandably they were busy, and this led to a wee bit of Lateness with our order and a forgotten drink but it was with the best of intentions, and it was all sorted in the end.

Food was lovely and fresh. Staff very busy but polite. Received salmon sandwiches despite requesting no salmon, but there was more than enough food besides.

My boyfriend got sick after getting a plate of mini pastries which was supposed to be gluten free. They didn’t have any gluten free pastry so they “reheated” some from their freezer. He thought it would be fine, but a few hours later he was projectile vomiting in back alleys of Glasgow as he couldn’t get to a loo in time. We’re not sure if it was food poisoning or that it wasn’t actually gluten free (he can’t eat gluten) but nonetheless I wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t go there again for sure.

I was here for mothers day, our party including a vegan and a vegetarian.
The vegetarian and vegan offerings both varied from the respective menus without any notification. We checked if the different item still met our dietary requirements and we're told my a member of staff that this was the case and the variance was as 'they are just throwing anything out' to customers.
I can imagine mothers' day is a busy occasion and I would have understood this to a degree. Everyone was offered a glass of complimentary prosecco which was a nice touch.
My concern though was the extensive wait for our food followed by the expectation soon after it was served that we needed to leave.
We had a 12pm slot with the next slot of bookings at 1.45pm. Menu choice confirmed with full payment two days prior.
This is what happened:
12 noon: arrived, received hot drinks, fifty minute wait for food that had been confirmed and paid for two days prior
12.50pm: Food arrived
1.05pm: Fifteen minutes after food arrived, told table needed back 'in thirty minutes'
1.10pm: Twenty minutes after food arrived, told table needed back 'in ten minutes'
1.15pm: Twenty five minutes after food arrived asked if we needed boxes for leftover food to take home.
At this stage my husband and also the couple in the next table had finished only their savoury options.
1.20pm: Thirty minutes after food served, table cleared whilst we were still sitting there.
I appreciate the need for turnover on a busy day and in the current financial times for businesses. However it is not fair to give customers minutes to consume a three plated afternoon tea, after waiting almost an hour for the prepaid food to be served. If timings are so tight, this should be the expectation with the restaurant itself as well as with customers.
I felt sorry for the staff who were in themselves lovely, but all of this was done without apology.
It was a rushed experience when we were all but asked to leave as soon as our food was ready. This was after paying a premium price of £28 per person.
I would not recommend this experience to others.

Booking at 2.15 for afternoon tea - wasn’t served any tea until 2.55 - 15 mins after the food had been served. Food was fine, however when we were clearly finished and moved our dishes to the front of the table - the 2 waiters made no effort to clear the table and allow us to get the bill. After waiting 25/30 minutes for their attention, it wasn’t until we put our jackets on (shock) that we eventually got the attention of the waiters - one of which I believe was the manager. Seemed they preferred to have a conversation with each other outside the restaurant rather than doing what they get paid to do. Won’t be back and wouldn’t recommended this horrible service.

Been here over a week ago and the change from last time was night and day! Was so lovely fresh and lovely service and then today was very bland, uncaring and not up to standard, we were also shocked to see that a woman came in with her daughter for her birthday only to find a Beetle in her food! And when complaining to the manager she said that it must have been the customer who came in with it! Needs less to say my friend and I were pretty disgusted at the manager attitude and how it was brushed off as the customers fault, last review I raved about how nice it was this time I will not be back!!

Came with my family for afternoon tea.
Food served was lovely, especially the scones, beautifully made.
Unfortunately mood dampened with the service.
Staff clearly untrained/no communication between staff.
We had someone in our party who didn’t want any hot drinks with the afternoon tea. We asked one of the waiters what was best to do, thinking that only hot drinks were included, and he claimed all drinks are included with the afternoon tea.
That’s all well and good, but when another member of staff came over when we tried to order more, he reiterated it was only hot drinks.
When I tried to explain to him that another member of staff had made that claim, and I had tried to explain to him politely and calmly, just so he understood what had happened, he replied in rather a rude manner.
Despite this whole ordeal he didn’t charge for the soft drink as of course it was not our fault.
I am grateful he finally listened to what I was trying to explain to him but it did make me feel rather uncomfortable for the rest of the time I was there, and that interaction alone would mean I wouldn’t go again.
Hopefully more training in communication and understanding of the menu should be given to the staff.

The best afternoon tea I've had in Glasgow. Cup is a joy to visit with a lovely modern and bright decor and situated in a beautiful wee square. Staff were very friendly and the girl who looked after us took time to describe everything available for our afternoon tea. My husband had the vegan option which he loved and my standard one was delicious and beautifully presented. Top class service and a definite return visit before long. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing experience 😊
Drygate Brewery is a craft beer joint venture located in Glasgow, Scotland. The brewery has its own brewing kit, as well as a bar and brasserie which sits alongside the heritage centre of Tennent's Brewery. It tells the story of local beer through the ages, with elements from Glasgow folk history and the story of the city's pubs.
Having been to Drygate before, due to the pandemic it has been a couple of years now. The bar / restaurant has lost none of its magic, would even say it’s much better. Excellent choice on the menu and the staff were very attentive. Well worth the trip and would highly recommend this to anybody in Glasgow.

I went once for drinking, I had an amazing beer (reverse the polarity).
I also went there with a friend for a brewery tour, as soon as we got there the staff told that no one else had booked the brewery tour so we had a private tour. It's been great, the brewer who guided us told us a ton of super interesting things about the story and the different beers that they make. One of the best brewery tour I have ever had. After the tour we had the included beer tasting together with him, he deeply explained the 4 beer we tasted, it's been very interesting and fun. The tour+beer tasting was 20£, which is not little but it's definitely worth it, we had a guide for two people only! The tour lasted 1 hours and the beer tasting 15 mins. We also took some chips (very standard) and some great haggis croquettes, those were expensive (7£ for 3 croquettes) but very good as well so it's fine.
They also have a little shop where you can buy beer glasses, shirts or beers obviously. All the things in the shop are very high quality and very good looking, I personally took a glass (4£ very nice and fairly priced and a shirt, very nice as well but overpriced at 15£)
The brewery is good and the staff is super you g and friendly. It's overall a little overpriced, but everything is high quality and I find correct supporting the cause, you're paying a premium but you're supporting a great business.

This pub has a good list of beer they brew themselves, a nice selection of guest beers in otehr can and bottles...and a fab food menu, which I was shocked by how nice it was. I had steak frites, and my friend had whitebait and squid... Then for dessert we had a tropical millefeuille and a duo of diff flavoured creme brulee which arrived to the table on fire! They were both delicious! The star of the show though has to be the dog menu...asyou can see my pooch lay on a jacket so he didn't hurt the seats, and put his own order in of doggy chicken! Generous portion!

We had our wedding reception here on 8.7.23 and it was amazing. The venue space is fantastic and the staff were so attentive. Iain, the events manager, stayed for a large portion of the night, checked in with us and kept us updated on various parts of the evening. The bar staff were brilliant, no one waited too long for a drink (although my 93 year old grandad has requested you get southern comfort 😂). We left our decorations for the staff to sort out for us prior to arriving as we were too busy and they did an amazing job, the space looked brilliant. We had the breakfast roll buffet and everyone said how good they were, there was a big selection and they came out in metal trays and were kept over burners which meant they stayed warm for ages - any other wedding we’ve attended just the rolls pre made on platters - so this was brilliant (our nephew had a 5 stacked roll 😂)! In all, we highly recommend the drygate for any event you might need it for!

I went there just for curiosity. The place is very nice.
There are a lot of beers on tap. The employees were knowledgeable about all the flavours and the menu, anyway, was explaining everything.
The food was good as well.
I liked that they offered 3 different sizes of beer.

It was a real nice experience. The interior of the restaurant is amazing, there's a window where you can actually see inside the brewery!
The beer tasting was quite fun.
Only the food was a bit too less and expensive for what it was. If you're hungry you might stick to classic fish and chips.
Apart from that definitely recommendable.

Visited Drygate for a casual evening. Service was satisfactory, and the food, while okay, didn't stand out. Impressed by the diverse drinks menu. However, despite Google indicating a closing time of 11:00 PM, it felt like they were winding down as early as 9:30 PM.

Fab music venue, excellent beer selection, food adequate. Worth booking if you want to sit in the main restaurant area downstairs. We were directed to the upstairs bar which has a little less atmosphere, especially if quiet, and a slightly more limited menu. Burgers were tasty enough - just what we fancied although nothing to write home about and a bit stingy on the crispy onions! Decent chips.

The beers are awesome, we tried a four flight and they were really great. We also tried mac n cheese, the macaronis were overcooked, but not in a bad way, they were melting in the mouth, with an extra cheese. The poutine was also really good. Thanks for the experience.

Awesome place. Really friendly staff welcomed us and we had some amazing food. Lots of beer on tap and there is a small shop to buy the beers you like. The upper terrace allows a beer in the sun (if you're lucky with the weather) but there is more than enough space inside as well. You can make a reservation, but it was quite calm when we went. We had a great time!
The Wilson Street Pantry is a cafe in the heart of Glasgow's West End that dishes up delicious breakfast and brunch dishes all day long. The cafe is known by locals for its relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and great service. Specialties include eggs royale, sourdough toast, sausage breakfast rolls and scrambled eggs with black pudding.
One of the top 10 brunch restaurants in Glasgow to me. Amazing food and nice staff, only one thing disappointed me is that they’re very, very popular so you will only have one hour time slot to have the brunch. It definitely is the best choice for people who just want to enjoy the food.

Great place, with amazing breakfast.
Staff were very attentive with out being intrusive, the location, decor and ambiance were just fantastic.
The food, wow!
We had french test and scrambled eggs with black pudding, both were just perfect. The coffee was just spot on, great flavour (loved the black cups), and came out ready to drink temperature.
If you eat with your eyes then you will not go hungry, everything looked fantastic as it came out, it made choosing even harder.
Very busy, would book in advance.
Highly recommend 👌 😋

This place has been busy every time I’ve walked past yet the staff were always friendly and quick when I dropped in on Saturday and Sunday for take away coffee. I was able to eat in on Monday morning and it’s clear to me why this place is so popular.
Great choice on the menu. I had perfect scrambled eggs with lovely bacon and mushrooms. Really attentive staff. Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s exceptional.

I can only recommend this place! The staff were amazing—very friendly and polite. Although I had to wait for a table, it was only for 15 minutes. I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled eggs, and I can safely say it was the best toast I’ve ever had. The oil they put on the avocado is simply amazing! The atmosphere was also great.

Was lucky enough to get a morning table without a reservation. Best to book in advance. It's always busy. The coffee was beautiful. The food was even better.

After reading the great reviews we made a point of finding it but they were fully booked (Sunday) for breakfast so we booked online for the following morning & we were not disappointed!
We tried the sourdough toast with various toppings and all of them were delicious. The service was also very warm & attentive. Great value for a wonderfully filling breakfast. Would highly recommend 👌

We enjoyed The Wilson Street Pantry. The ambiance is light and clean. Good variety on the menu. Our server was so friendly and helpful (five stars for her!). I had the french toast, which was good- four star good. I would try something different if I came again. My husband enjoyed the day’s special. The cappuccino could have been stronger. It tasted more like a coffee than an espresso drink. The service was timely. It was our first visit to Wilson Street and I certainly would give it another try.

Very beautiful place for brunch, which explains why it's always difficult to find a table. However, although the food is tasty the portions are quite small compared to other brunch places and you need to add from the extras to complete.

Iced vanilla matcha: it’s the special drink on that day! It’s good and refreshing, highly recommended :)
Wild mushroom florentine: amazing! Love this one.
The special apricot cake is simply okay, strong almond feeling that I don’t quite like. It’s always really busy and noisy and not quite good service, but worth coming for their goods

Well this one is a mixed bag. So food wise 100% recommended. The egg benedict was amazing and coffee was great as well.
However several things went wrong with the service, staff doesnt seem very friendly, coffee was spilled and no apologies were made, each time water was poured it was spilled and couple of times in the plate again with no acknowledgement, and my espresso cup had a hair on it(not mine :) ).
PS: They say you can only sit for an hour based on booking but brought everything after 25-30 min so felt a bit rushed

Busy place, I had to wait around for 20 minutes before they had a table for me. It all made sense why people would want to eat there because the food was great! I got the delicious eggs Benedict and a oat milk flat white, recommend recommend!

Traveled in from the US, and found this spot via a reddit thread. 100% worth it. I'm not an eggs Benedict fan (though they looked high quality), so I tried the French toast with bacon. It was incredible, I ate every bite and regretted nothing. The coffee was awesome too. It's not a big spot, but when I went in at ~9 on Saturday morning I was able to get in. I noticed not long after that there was a wait for most coming in.
The staff here was amazing as well. I actually left my bag and one of the servers ran around the corner to catch me and return it to me. Can't thank her enough, plus a testament to great people running the joint.
Lastly, the music and atmosphere promoted a good vibe. Had a hip feel and cool people seemed to be eating there, though plenty of elderly folks who clearly just knew it was a solid spot to get food.

Very nice cafe, with tables with a view of as gorgeous mural. We tried the almond brownie (richly chocolatey, wish it was less sweet), a roll with sausage, bacon and hash brown (nice), and eggs Benedict with caramel onions and sausage (again, I wish the onions were less sweet). The service was great!

A good brekkie is hard to find, but this unfussy, easy going place is a must. The coffee is mmmm, and the food we had tasted fresh and delicious, and for less than £15 each it was well worth the money. Please, please go visit this place and support a great little eatery. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Spacious, but gets busy as soon as they are open.
Friendly, accommodating and attentive staff
The place is warm. And I appreciate it when cafes don’t let their customers freeze.
Coffee was just ok.
Eggs with mushrooms and spinach - flavorful and eggs were perfectly poached.
French toast - generous portion. it was good and I wouldn’t mind ordering it again. Few things to note : (1) it is not a brioche French toast. (2) it is thinly sliced. (3) as served it will be crispy from the out side and moist from the inside. (4) as it cooldown it becomes chewy and rubbery from the inside due to using egg white in the mixture, if they only use egg yolks it would’ve been less rubbery. But it does taste good overall.
Glasgow Green is a large and popular park located in the heart of Glasgow. The park has many historic structures, including the McLennan Arch, Nelson Monument, Templeton Factory, and St. Andrews Suspension Bridge. Two major events - the TRNSMT Music Festival and the World Pipe Band Championships - draw tens of thousands of people each year, but even these don't attract as many people as Glasgow Green's star attraction: The Peoples Palace.
Glasgow green is a beautiful park with Amazing architecture around. It has the view of the city on one side and beautiful river Clyde on the other. The place is really serene. Great place for a day outing, bike ride and exploring around.

Great for older and younger kids. Not many parks cater for the older ones. Loads of green space. A fantastic Freewheel North hiring out gocarts, bikes etc and so good with kids and adults of all abilities. Very reasonably priced.
Massive play area for kids and a smaller but still significantly large area for the toddler age group.
Loads of picnic benches to sit at. There is also a cafe there but we didn't use it.
All day fun and you actually don't need to spend any money. Bring your own picnic.
Toilets too which is always a must with kids.
Recommend very highly.

Glasgow Green is by far the oldest of the city's parks established in the 15th century. It is situated within walking distance of the city centre east of the Saltmarket.
It's home to a variety of attractions, including:
• The People's Palace, a museum dedicated to the history of Glasgow's working class
• The Nelson Monument, a 130-foot (40-meter) column dedicated to Admiral Lord Nelson
• The McLennan Arch, a 19th-century archway that is a popular spot for photo ops
• The Templeton Carpet Factory, a former carpet factory that is now a popular event space
• The St. Andrew's Suspension Bridge, a suspension bridge that connects Glasgow Green to the south side of the River Clyde
Glasgow Green is also a popular spot for walking, fishing, and cycling.

Glasgow Green is the city's oldest public park and has been a popular destination for more than 300 years. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, picnics, and the beautiful views of the River Clyde. In addition, it has many attractions such as the People's Palace and Winter Gardens, the Doulton Fountain, the McLellan Galleries, and the Nelson Monument. Sporting facilities are also available, and the park is home to the famous West of Scotland Cricket Club. You can enjoy a variety of activities, including jogging, football, and playing catch or frisbee.

Glasgow Green, a beautiful park with lots of walking space & stunning views, it is so vast, you can spend hours going round all the various parts and also the joint parks such as Richmond park and Dassey Park, Stunning in all seasons, although I would recommend wellington boots in some seasons, It is also a great place for dog walkers

We visited Glasgow Green on the Easter bank holiday weekend. It was a lovely walk, but a shame the weather wasn’t as nice. On our last trip to Glasgow in the summer we had visited Kelvingrove park which we both loved, as it offers more variety on cafes and restaurants. I think our experience was based on comparing Glasgow Green to Kelvingrove and it’s location. West end beats it, so much more vibrant and lively, therefore we both felt a little disappointed with Glasgow Green!

Zizzi in Glasgow's West End is a popular Italian restaurant known for serving delicious pizzas, calzones, and traditional pastas on wooden boards. The area is a trendy hub with restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. Ashton Lane is the heart of the action with its charming cobblestone laneway adorned with fairy lights. Visitors can enjoy a pint at the cozy Innis and Gunn microbrewery which offers their own brews as well as imported bottled beer.
We have been coming here for years for my sons birthday, my daughters 18th and many other special occasions. We even came just after the restrictions were eased and it was very quiet and that still never affected how wonderful this place is. The manager or who I only assume is the manager was there again when we returned and I was glad to see him. He’s always very professional and is very reassuring seeing him being so active making sure everyone is satisfied with the service.
The food is second to none!! There’s even little free extras that the staff include to make you feel really welcome. The menu, the drinks, everything is great. The atmosphere is ambient and relaxing. The table service is impressive too. We have had many happy times here and will continue to do so.
gayle — Google review
First time at Zizzi’s, but was not the best experience. Some of the items we ordered were great, (like the Truffle & Panceta Carbonara) but some others were quite forgettable (like the Primavera pizza, which was quite dry).
The thing we disliked the most was how long it took for the food to arrive: 4 main courses took almost an hour to arrive, and it was just a pasta dish, a single pizza, a calzone and one final chicken dish.
Overall the food is good but if you’re short on time, maybe look for another one.

A very disappointing experience. I have been before a number of times and therefore had higher expectations. We understood that it was a busy night in the run up to Christmas but that did not forgive the poor service. Although we were booked we were shown to a table that seemed to be in a waiting area instead of the main dining area. The garden style bench was wobbly and not just slightly but to the point that it felt like my friends were going to fall off or be seasick...in the end we moved it away ourselves and got a chair. . We were then forgotten about, as was it seemed everyone else in this small bottom area were too. Eventually got to order. Was told there were no small breads available to go with my prawn starter but no alternative offered.... and then another long wait. Our drinks only arrived after we asked for them once starter served. My prawn starter arrived and looked very impressive so full marks there but without bread the sauce was too spicy to eat alone once I'd polished off the 4 prawns. One friend described her starter as underwhelming and felt that half her cheese was missing. We were then forgetten about again until a young boy arrived with our mains. However no one had cleared away our starter or asked if everything was okay. He was very apologetic and got things cleared away quickly but as we had no cutlery my friends mains started getting cold while waiting for my main to arrive and to get a chance to ask for cutlery. Very disorganised but the young boy/man was again very helpful. My friend found her pasta bland and tasteless but the two who had pizzas enjoyed them and I found my wild boar pizza excellent. No one came to see us again and never asked if we wanted dessert. We asked for the bill ourselves.

Myself and 9 friends ate here yesterday. The food mainly was lovely but 3 of our meals were below standard. The sea food pasta had no / very little seafood in it and pasta was dry. The manager was ?Katie(petite with dark hair). She was very apologetic, responsive and went above and beyond to make it right! Couldn't have asked for more. The rest of the staff were lovely too and all were attentive and worked vey hard. Everyone else enjoyed their food and wouldn't let it spoil us for returning in future. Well done

Went for an unplanned late lunch yesterday. The restaurant was empty, just two of us and one other table, however, the service was shocking. Our server was fantastic, but took 20 minutes to receive our starter. When it came to getting the bill, we sat for 30 minutes and no one came near us, after going to the bar and asking for the bill, it took a good 15/20 minutes to receive it. The food was decent and the servers friendly, but they seem to be taking too many takeout orders and it’s impacting the in venue service.
David Bebbington — Google review
Service was awful. Not one person asked if we wanted drinks until we asked to order food. 40 minutes without a drink despite asking several times. They even informed us that we only had a ‘slot’ and would have to hurry. 9 people on a staff night out and they only managed to get one round of drinks and 2 courses from them. They certainly didn’t know how to sell. If I owned the restaurant I’d be furious. So much wasted time where the customer wasn’t spending or being served.
The restaurant wasn’t full and the food service was super slow and came in dribs and drabs.
The squid was good, probably bought in frozen but a good quality one well cooked. The prawns were cold and hence pretty bland.
The rustica pizza was nice but not really a pizza, more a flat bread with toppings. Way too expensive for what it was.
Definitely won’t go back. Nothing unique or special about this place. The staff were pleasant enough but lacked leadership and efficiency.

We asked to sit outside since we had our dog with us and we combined tables together ourselves, went inside asked to get menu.
The staff brought menus and through menus at us so rudely and I asked her to send another staff to take our orders since she was so disrespectful and unprofessional. I asked to see the manager and she said I am the manager and I will get another manager to come.
The customer service and the way she treated us was so rude and we decided to leave and end up not having any food!
Do not recommend! The staff’s name was Louis!
It’s an absolute shame since she said she’s one of the managers and what a poor management to have someone this un polite to serve customers!!!

For years we've been happy with Zizzis, then got bored with their menu. The last visit was in Cardiff where we walked out after it took so long to take our order in a not so busy restaurant. However, yesterday we managed to order our lunch.
The calamari were good, the mushrooms on bruschetta starters also were acceptable. But just as we expected the mains to arrive we were, rather late, told, there was no beef chianti ragu. Rush on? Err no, it was only about 12 and the three other tables weren't eating it.
Anyway, when the bolognese replacement arrived it was its usual quality, which I quite like if I'm honest. My mother was Italian, I know my pasta. However, The salmon? oh dear the salmon. I tried it and gave her half my main in the end. I like salt, but my goodness, had I taken my blood pressure after eating it, the Mercury would have shot out and gone into low earth orbit. You can see from the images the carbonara was curdled with small lumps and not creamy. Was it reheated while the ragu replacement was being replaced? Perhaps we should have rejected it on arrival... Anyway the close up picture was what wasn't eaten in the end. They were apologetic and a generous discount added to the bill, but that's it for Zizzis for us now.
We have a discount voucher for the Zizzi clone, Ask, let's see out that pans out next.
The Scotland Street School Museum is an interesting museum in Glasgow that shows the Scottish education system from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who was known for his creative architecture. In 1979, the school closed due to a lack of students. Today, it is one of Glasgow's top architectural attractions and visitors can learn about different eras of Scottish education at this museum.
Located in the district of Kingston, Scotland street school museum has wonderfully preserved the evolution of education system in Scotland in the 2Oth century. We were fascinated by the exhibits. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in history and education. The employees there are very knowledgeable and welcoming. My 8 year old daughter was shown all the toys commonly used by both boys and girls in Scottish schools in the last century and she could play with some of them.

Kember and Jones is a popular cafe with excellent coffee, breakfast and desserts. They pride themselves on using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create delicious meals. The café is crowded with students and mothers alike, who love their homemade baking. The café's own signature coffee blend helps wash things down nicely.
Great atmosphere, fantastic selection of cakes and sweet treats, and lovely lunch menu. Staff are friendly and service is personable and efficient. There was a short wait for a table to become available, but staff were accommodating and efficient with organising space. The rare beef sandwich was well made, using fresh bread and delicious beef. The parsnip and carrot cake was excellent.

A busy cafe but lots of friendly staff and very welcoming with quick service. We had take out coffees and cake. Lovely drinks, perfectly made and scrummy cakes. Wide range of hot drinks and healthy foods and quality sweet treats. Very, very lovely.

The vibe is excellent; bright and lovely. The coffee is robust and flavourful; always a big plus for a discerning coffee lover. The people who work here really elevate the experience; they are kind and helpful with suggestions especially when the entire bakery section looks so appealing! Samiksha and Hannah M, in particular, were very patient and jovial when I was there on a busy Sunday morning.

We came here twice during a week. I really in love with the vibes and everything especially the most delicious food. The staff were excellent at every visit. I will come back again for sure.
It's important to mention that, the waitress added something we didn't want to the receipt by mistake. We asked her about it. She smoothly corrected the total and said sorry for that. I would thank her so much.
Tantrum Doughnuts, a popular spot with a newly opened city center branch, is known for its handmade doughnuts that often sell out on weekends. Since 2015, the team has been dedicated to creating high-quality doughnuts from scratch using fresh and seasonal ingredients. They offer playful flavors like pistachio and hibiscus, vanilla creme brulee, and banoffee pie. Visitors rave about the delicious offerings and friendly service at this Glasgow establishment.
Scrumptious doughnuts in a massive range of flavours, all made freshly. There are some cheaper, plainer ones at about £1-1.50, the fancier ones are £2.85 (Feb 2024) which isn't super cheap, but is good value for what you get! Friendly staff too.

Some of the best and tastiest donuts I’ve consumed and I’ve had my fair share of donuts.
I visited Glasgow for three nights and visited three times. Yes this is true!
Please do check the varieties as there’s soo many, including popular vegan peanut butter variations!
Super friendly staff and I’m only deducting a star as when I ordered my coffee (on both occasions) this was unfortunately lukewarm.
Amazing setup!

Loved trying out the donuts. Pistachio and Hibiscus 🌺 was my clear favourite and blueberry 🫐 hubby's fav. Great fun place.

We go here every glasgow shopping trip now! Donuts are amazing, we tend to both get a coffee a box of 4 donuts and a toasted marshmallow to walk to the car with! We are always under £19. Well worth it as the donuts are usually huge, not like your average donuts that's gone in 2 bites. My absolute favourite is the salted honey ring <3

Glasgow’s hidden gem! These doughnuts are so fluffy and just the right texture. Great selection of flavors and vegan options available. They’ve recently opened up for seating inside the shop at their West End shop. Would recommend if you’re visiting the area.

This is a place that was recommended on a few YouTube vlogs I watched and it definitely lived up to the hype. I’ve had my fair share of donuts in my life and these are by far the best I’ve ever had. The crème brûlée doughnut was definitely the showstopper. I want to mention that we had some of the kindest and friendliest service ever from the barista as well. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Glasgow. Thank you.

If you're looking for something a bit more exciting than your standard Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme, Tantrum Doughnuts is the place to go! They have a fantastic selection of unique flavors, and even the plain doughnut itself is delicious. The toppings can be a bit hit or miss for me, but the base is always soft and flavorful.
I opted for takeout, but the store itself is really cute and inviting. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving a creative and tasty doughnut experience!

Coffee okay but donuts are amazing.
Prices are acceptable although there is different between seating in and takeaway.
Also, the seating inside is not that confutable but understandable since the place is small and cozy.

The best doughnuts in Glasgow!! I had their doughnuts when I studied at the University of Glasgow years ago and loved them. So when I visited Glasgow again I was determined to get them. I was so satisfied and happy. They were as good as I had remembered.

There are doughnuts and then there are Tantrum Doughnuts. Worlds apart. Freshly baked each morning and decadent, moist and moreish. Lots of options from filled to rings and vegan options. Friendly staff and good coffee. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. Fabulous!
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Andrew is a beautiful Gothic-style building located in the heart of Glasgow. Originally built as a church, it later gained the title of cathedral after considerable renovation works. The interior is restrained and uncluttered, while people admire the facade, which has remained unchanged since its construction.
It is a lovely cathedral; peaceful, serene and I can spend time with my Lord. The surroundings of the church was equally calm. I love this cathedral where my prayers were answered.

The church in Glasgow is in a crisis of faith and those in the hierarchy would rather bang on about "climate change" than the SALVATION OF SOULS! They have forgotten the divine mission that Our Lord laid out for us (or they simply refuse to carry out that mission). The Glasgow faithful need traditional authentic catholic moral direction and they are not getting it from Rome and not from our Bishop William Nolan. Enough with this talk of "synodality", we laymen do not want power. We want you clergy to exercise your God given authority for the good of Holy Mother Church. You are currently failing monumentally and it has to change. May God have mercy on your souls.

Metropolitan Cathedral is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland, which was designed in 1814 by James Gillespie Graham in the Neo Gothic style. It lies on the north bank of the River Clyde in Clyde Street. It is dedicated to the patron saint of Scotland, Saint Andrew. The cathedral's pipe organ was originally built in 1903 by Henry Willis & Sons. It is a peacefull place for pray.

A beautiful Cathedral, blocks from Glasgow Green and along the river. A bit smaller than I was expecting, but beautiful nonetheless. On the left is an image of Scottish Saint John Ogilive. Around the perimeter of the church are the text of various Latin prayers.

A beautifully serene space, I visited the cathedral while I was taking a walk along the Clyde. The outside of the building does nothing to hint at the lovely inside. Once inside the only sound is the running water in the font.

Worth a visit. Statues, stain glass windows and all round presentation to the public view bring about a feeling of peace and calm.
The Merchant Chippie is a seafood restaurant in Glasgow with a difference - they offer dishes such as king scallops and calamari as well as traditional fish and chips. The chippies are crispy, fresh and devoid of that dreaded greasy batter, making the Merchant Chippie a great choice for those looking for something quick and filling.
Discovered this chippie last time we were in Glasgow. Made a return visit and again not disappointed. Lovely piece of fish freshly cooked, and so were the chips. Tea very hot. Worth the walk along Ingram Street. Will definitely return

We liked it, but out of the three of us one found a hair in her fries and everything was a bit too greasy. Taste was awesome though!! Definitely worth a try if you want authentic fast food fish and chips! The fish was really tasty

This is the best fish and chips I have had for a long long time. The fish is fresh the oil is new the chips were hot and fresh. When I ate the fish.... mmm mmmm mmmmm. Crispy yummy an mouth watery.

Update 3/5/23 came back here to try out a pizza crunch. Friends from Glasgow have been telling me about it for ages so had to come try! A battered pizza slice which sounds weird but tasted amazing! Was a good portion of chips to go with it! Definitely come back again!
This was a small but cosy chippy I came across after dropping some friends off by the nearby station. Got the haddock supper which was really good. Also got a deep fried Mars Bar which was pretty nice. Definitely would come back again for the fish and chips!

We were in Glasgow for a concert and were just coming back to our hotel, pretty late at night and I searched on google maps for best chippie in Glasgow and compared a few of them. We decided to go to this one and we are delighted that we did! Not only the best chippie in Glasgow, but for us, the best that we have tried in the UK. Thanks to all at Merchant Chippie
Steve — Google review
I must say this is one of the best fish & chips shop here in GLA. They served it piping hot direct from the kitchen . The haddock were fresh & what I liked most is the fish batter ; it is light & crispy & not oily. Their homemade chips are delicious & nice to eat with the vinegar.
Food 9/10
Service 8/10
Ambience 8/10
Value for money 7/10 ( it is quiet a standard price around here ; 7-8 pounds per serving)
It is a small shop so bear in mind to avoid busy hours in order to get a seat. Nearby the varsity & student accommodations . The shop should give some student discount .
Overall will definitely eat there again.
Enaz Safinar — Google review
I had lunch here last week, the setup and atmosphere was okay.
Coming to food: fish was flaky and batter was crispy from the edges I liked it but chips were not hot, kinda soggy, and didn't feel like traditional!
Service: the lady who took my order and served me was friendly.
Another part I didn't that you have to buy mushy peas and tartar sauce separately plus they were not freshly made!
All in all I would never visit here again.

Ordered through just eat. Paid full price including delivery charge. Showed delivered but wasn't. Contacted the restaurant for advice. Told to Contact just eat. Payment processed. Asked if can come collect the food, Told would have to pay full price at restaurant. Left feeling hungry out of pocket an disappointed 😞 just eat have confirmed your restaurant has taking the payment an they have refused to refund. Just eat have confirmed you have taking the £32 and I haven't received a refund. Absolutely disgusted 😤
The pub Inn Deep in Alloa is a great place to go for a drink, with an American-style menu and quirky murals. The beer selection is excellent and the pub seems to be popular with locals.
Homely wee dog friendly bar on Great Western Road, adjacent to the river Kelvin and Kelvin Park. Absolutely buzzing for a Tuesday night. Great atmosphere, superb bar staff - very attentive and service with beaming smiles despite being rushed. Reasonable prices. Ample seating even with covid spacing, although it does fill up after 8pm.
Outside seated smoking area.
Plenty of water for dogs, and free treats.
The Riverside seating has gone, at least on the evenings, but still a great place.

Solid prices on good food. Tried the chicken wings and bar tacos, which were all really good. Tacos come in two, 12cm diameter i think i read on the menu, they were well filled for the size and i was happy with what i got. The wings have a crunchy breading that i really liked. I'm from Buffalo and was craving some comfort food, these made me very happy and i will be going back for more. Staff was super kind, i have literally no criticisms.

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.

The service was brilliant - particularly the guy serving us most of the time (sorry we didn't catch his name...). He was attentive without being intrusive and good fun too. Sorted out a problem so well it didn't feel like a problem at all! A real asset to any place so Inn Deep are lucky to have him.

It’s a lovely bar! The interior is very cozy and they have a great outdoor section as well right by the river so the views are stunning. They have a great selection of fruity and flavoured beers and very decent prices. I wasn’t a huge fan of the food so I’d eat elsewhere and go here just for the drinks and the vibe. We got the poutine, pizza and Korean chicken and the food was subpar. I’d focus on the drinks at this place. The prawn tacos were delicious tho but a bit expensive at £10.

I love Inn Deep, it's such an interesting and unique place. It's surprisingly cosy and comfortable for a bar literally wedged into various connected railway arches. The food is good and very satisfying, incredible beer selection, and the weekly poetry night is great.

My husband and I absolutely love this bar, built into the bridge over the river Kelvin. It's cozy, its quirky, good service and prices are reasonable. They do great offers during the week, so one Wednesday in Feb 2023 we had their upgraded wings,,,,,,yum! Great portion, good price. Its super dog friendly which is a real bonus for us as we can walk directly through the park with our collie and enjoy a wee drink at the end of the walk. Will most definitely be back . Highly recommend.

Dog friendly! Fantastic little spot in Glasgow, if you like craft beer you have to visit. Unique set up under the bridge, you can sit inside the bar itself, in a tunnel under the bridge or stand next to the river - just make sure to stand along the edge as it is a public footpath. Highly recommended!

Stumbled upon this absolute gem of a place on the walkway/ cycling path from Kelvingrove park Seating outside looking onto the water is beautiful & inside seating very well done. The waitress was Courteney who greeted us with a smile & was able to politely recommend foods. Chose the pizza which was tasty but must visit again as all the smells from the other foods were begging to be tried This place is dog friendly so a must if you have a four legged friend 🐕🐩🐶🐾✅

Staff very friendly and helpful.
Love the comic books in toilets!
I have ordered two charsiu tacos, which were perfect for a snack!
Defo will be visiting in the future.

We came here on a Friday night, it was packed! We sat down at a tiny little table and were happy enough with that. However Heather (I think that was her name, she had blonde hair) went above and beyond to get us seated at a bigger table and was continually checking to see if one had freed up. We really appreciated this, and were very impressed with the high level of customer service. Thank you Heather!
Drinks and food wise everything was perfect. I got the truffle and pecorino fries and my partner got the artichoke/gorgonzola pizza and both were lovely. The beers they have on draft are nice and varied and you can try tasters and bar staff are very helpful. We will most definitely be visiting again next time we come to Glasgow!

I came here with my friends for my birthday celebration. The beer was great and so was the ambience.
The service was commendable. My friends and I took a lot of time in deciding what to eat and changed our orders multiple times. The very nice lady at the counter (with lovely blue hair, please give her a raise!!!) patiently took our orders without any retaliation - although we completely deserved some - it was a smooth experience only because of the great customer service.
Will be back again!

The renowned Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow is a historic live music venue that offers a unique and vibrant atmosphere. This former dancehall has become a symbol of the city's rich musical heritage, hosting various genres including pop, rock, hip hop, and indie. It has welcomed acclaimed acts such as Alt J, Tones and I, Run the Jewels, UB40, The Wombats, Yungblud, and Postmodern Jukebox.
Good concert venue. Didn't book assistance for my friend's wheelchair but they managed to accommodate. No lifts but a mechanical stair climber helped greatly.

Absolutely huge venue! Went here for a concert and it holds around 2000 people. They have a coat check for £1 per item. Also, there is a bar on the lower level and 2 bars in the Main Hall. The main hall is huge and sounds amazing anywhere you stand in the room! Great historic venue!

I don't think it's just me that loves this venue as much as I do. It has been a part of my life for years and even now many moons later the thrill of a Barrowlands gig is still the same.
Having been the host venue to most of the important touring bands in history the character of the place just oozes Glasgow.
But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on lean in...listen, do you hear it? --one more tune-- --one more tune--, seize the encore, make your lives extraordinary

I've seen so many bands here, it's been one of the best venues in the UK, with it bouncing old floor and the place has never changed in years, its the best venue to go to for gigs.

My favourite venue from 20+ years ago from when I lived in Glasgow, visited recently and it had lost none of its appeal. The iconic lights outside still have thd wow factor!
This visit we benefited from the kindness of one of the security staff who allowed us to use the accessible seating at the back as my wife was struggling with her knees, which saved our evening. The sound, atmosphere, everything was brilliant and 20 odd years later its still my favourite venue.

I would love for the venue to spend a little more money and put toilets on the same floor of the main hall. Aside from that, I can't fault the place, it's a fabulous venue, great staff, incredible atmosphere and very fairly priced. It's one of my favourite music venues, and a true legendary icon of Scotland

My favourite live music venue. So much history, great bars and other facilities, and they attract fantastic bands. I hope it never changes!
Martin Petersen — Google review
The premier music venue of Scotland. Independently owned, and expertly handled. I've seen all sorts of bands here - big bold punk names, classic tributes, modern indie, and not a single one is ever disappointing.
Comparative to other venues in the city, drinks are fairly priced - a pint of cider on tap is a modest £7, and there's a fairly recent addition in the form of the tuck shop, serving soft drinks and snacks.
Everything is well situated too - with several toilets, one large bar and one small, and the merch/cloakroom area kept completely separately from the main concert hall meaning that you're never doubling back on yourself or other people.
And that's not even mentioning the venue's history, which is nothing short of legendary. Some massive bands have played there, and they're very proud to boast that status - with a massive mural beside the main bar in the concert hall and names littering the stairwells.
Overall, I find the Barrowlands to be the best of the best in the entirety of Scotland.

Amazing venue, been on the list for too long and so glad we got to visit it to see Hamish Hawk. Venue was organised amazingly well, stewards were a laugh but very professional, was really impressed they were even handing out glasses of water to the front few rows of peeps if they needed it throughout the gig. Felt safe despite the large crowd and would definitely go again! Expect to pay around £6 a pint.

This is the best gig venue anywhere in the world. Head up to floor one for a decent wee bar with good prices and brilliant staff, then up again to the dance floor. Every gig I've been to here has been phenomenal and the venue is definitely part of that. Two full bars upstairs and a can bar too so it's never too long to wait for a drink. Downstairs for the loo though so if you don't want to miss a tune go before the band come on.

Stiff little fingers gig was brilliant (16/03/2024)... I hadn't seen them since 1982 so it brought back memories of the Apollo gigs ..... Jake still in fine voice and the songs came across as fresh and relevant.Barrowland never fails to have an atmosphere and crowds were up for it. My son in law enjoyed the music as well,reflecting the varied ages of the fans

The sound is STILL utterly awful for live bands!!
I was last here over a decade ago. Nothing has improved. It's still an awful place to go to a live event if you actually want to HEAR the band.
The bass and drums so out of whack that the vibrations vibrate up your entire body and spine - AND the loudness drowns out the vocals and anything else on the stage. The band Bleachers have two saxophone players. At some point you could barely hear the sax! Which are usually blaring loudly.
The opening act sound was so horrendous you could barely hear anything they sung. That's when our hearts sunk... And things did not improve. The sound was off the entire night!
My partner posted on Reddit about the sound as the gig and everyone who responded agreed the sound was horrendous - and with those who had been to Barrowlands before sadly agreeing it's "the norm" for there.
We seen Bleachers at Barn on the Farm in 2023. A very small grassroots festival and the sound was immense. You could hear everything clearly. You'd expect to hear the band better at a "proper indoor gig" but alas not.
There was a major crush happening at the end of the gig with folks pushing to exit, and crowding the areas - and I was using a walking stick. I got pushed backwards off a step and another person thankfully noticed and grabbed me from behind to stabilise me. There was absolutely no security around anywhere to be seen. It all felt very unsafe at the end.
The signage inside the building is also horrendous. My partner and I kept getting lost - and we were sober!
TLDR -
Basically the low end was too high.
iCafe Kelvingrove is a modern cafe that offers a variety of hot and cold snacks, smoothies, and milkshakes. It's an ideal spot to kick off your day with breakfast or grab a quick bite before an exam. The cafe provides ample space for work or study, with reliable Wi-Fi and friendly staff. While some find it conducive for focused work, others see it as more suitable for socializing due to the lively atmosphere.
Good coffee! Seem to be the only decent coffee place in Glasgow who serve almond milk. Decor is a little dated but everything else was great

great café to visit with your friends. the food tastes great. the service is perfect. their wifi speed is also really good to work with. but given the description, I saved this place as a "stufy café".. uhhh not really.. too much rock song and people talking around doesn't make this place to make people focus on their work. i'll go there if I need to chill a bit and not to work ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

I tried that place a few days ago and it was quite a disappointing experience.
- The reception was cold and inhospitable on my opinion; when we paid our order, the man was pretty expeditious and was not trying to be friendly at all.
- The communication between the cashier and the cook/barista was not done properly as they came to clean our table after having brought our order.
- The furniture not seem to be of good quality and the place in general could be better decorated and arranged.
However :
- The dishes we tried were great and tasty. The drinks were correct.
- They offer free WiFi

Very expensive for some sandwiches and baguettes, they tasted OK tho.
However there is almost no space because the students hog all the spaces all day so good luck finding a place to sit and eat. Maybe make a max amount of time people can sit?
The Dockyard Social is a trendy and vibrant food court located in an abandoned warehouse at Glasgow's former docklands. This weekend hotspot features unique themed bars, live DJ sets, and carefully selected local street food offerings from various cuisines such as Thai and Greek options. Visitors can experience ethically-sourced deliciousness from 11 different food vendors who specialize in global comfort foods with big flavors.
Atmosphere has always been really good, great selection of different foods on offer. Music and themed days for kids. Dogs welcome. Toilets could do with an upgrade. QR code available for ordering drinks to table is simple and quick. Would like to see the food stalls coming together to offer a sharing platter with a selection of the best dishes. Highly recommended

Surprised my partner for an anniversary night out here! Great vibe with a DJ playing music, lot's of people yet lots of space. Great vendors that are changed every 6 weeks! Love all the lights. Decent price to try lots of different foods in the one place. The pizza is hands down the best and Abandoned Chips were delicious. Try all the cocktails! Highly recommend for a night out with your partner or group of friends. Loved the atmosphere and staff were great! Definitely going to revisit soon!

Read a lot about this place and it was all correct - this is an amazing place. Friendly atmosphere, kid and dog friendly with food for everyone.
I was a little surprised to see the quality of the cocktails. A perfectly balanced whisky sour is something you don’t get every day. The Negroni was also a great experience.
Food wise we had the pork gyros and they were so good I’m going to have cravings for them. The “Mickey something something” from the kitchen next to the gyros place was also a great find.
If you’re in Glasgow, this place is a must.

Amazing idea! Food not the cheapest but it is ridiculously tasty. Vendors change every so often. Can highly recommend Noi's Cafe - Bankok Street food! Their chicken satay wrap is to die for! Also, peacocks chocolate brownie and ice cream is heaven! One criticism of the warehouse would be the seating. Some are picnic benches and they're not the comfiest, if you're lucky enough to get in early make sure you get a chair!

Dockyard Social has a cool concept of being set in the converted warehouse and comprising many food stores selling delicious street food from all around the world. Huge seating area and good space for socialising, especially for larger gatherings. Very kids friendly. You have to pre book tickets at 5 quid per head but that goes into your first drink and I had the watermelon daiquiri which was absolutely delicious. Food cost ranges between 5 to 8 quid. As it is street food style, you'll likely order a few dishes to keep your stomach happy. Great for sharing. I recommend the pulled pork tacos

An absolute foodie overload in the heart of the Glasgow uber trendy Finnieston. Out after work on a Friday "briefcaser" with all of the head office. You buy tokens "hungry" and "thirsty" for the purvey. Takes c 20 minutes for each dish as the pop up restaurant carts put it all together. Great concept, with a bierre hall vibe. Highly recommended.

Some food/alcohol expensive for what it is (benches in an old warehouse). Gyros really weren’t good - could make better myself. Only able to attend specific slots so don’t get too comfy, can’t stay longer than a couple of hours. Burgers and Pizzas were awesome though and good value for the quality.

Might be a bit confusing the first time you go, but settled in once i got a seat. Wasn't cold even in January, they have heaters there. Ticket price gets you a drink, so not too bad. Food vendors vary but we had Iberia tacos, spicy tenders fried rice and ice cream cookie sandwiches, everyone loved their food. Prices were reasonable. Good crowd was a mixed bunch, good for just 2 people or a big work crowd. Had fun, will be back again. Staff were super nice.

Atmosphere is absolutely lovely, I adore the multiple street food options.
We tried the hot dogs and some nachos, everything was delicious, and messy as street food should be!
Staff was also immensely friendly and helpful!
My only compliant is that the food is a bit pricey, without it being a generous portion either. That combined with the entrance fee can make this an expensive day out. Bigger portions please! 😆

My friend and I were there for the Dogyard Social with our dogs. Food was great and there are a lot of options. The dog stalls were also good for a browse and there was lots of choice and vendors. Atmosphere was great, but the ceiling “patio style” heating was on when it wasn’t really necessary and the dogs were struggling with the heat. We eventually had to sit outside next to the smoking area (we don’t smoke). Luckily it was dry and sunny, but it was quite windy and didn’t feel as secure for the pups

6£ entry fee comes with a free drink. Many food stalls to choose from, order at the stall and they deliver to your table. Make sure to grab a table before ordering food, it can get busy so have a place holder for your table. You can order drinks via the QR and they deliver those to you.

Really enjoyed it, we ordered a few plates of chicken wings (which were amazing) bao buns and burgers as well as a plate of dumplings. The food was all great but the chicken wings stood out as a favourite. We had a few cocktails as well which were great and really well priced. The staff were lovely, especially Charley who couldn't be more helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

The Friends of The Britannia Panopticon Music Hall Trust (SCIO)
The Friends of The Britannia Panopticon Music Hall Trust is a non-profit organization that aims to restore the former music hall to its former glory. The building, which opened in 1827 and is located in Glasgow, Scotland, is one of the world's oldest surviving music halls.
What a fantastic place full of Glasgow history. One of the gems of Glasgow and well worth a visit if your in Glasgow. Walk down the lane open the grey door just walk up stairs to top level. When you open the door you can just imagine how this place would look full with artists from the time. Lots great historical products on walls its a different from the typical thatres in Glasgow. The images taken April 2018.

I absolutely love the ambience, the queerness and the retro-ness of this place. The whole space looks like a movie set for a thriller taking place in an unidentifiable but heavily aesthetic time in the past. The service is excellent, the shows are great

This has to be one of the best pantomimes ever. Our family had a great day. Hayley (8) and sister Courtney (6) travelled from the East Coast for their 1st pantomime and they had a great time with cousin Macy (7). The cast were fabulous and they made us all laugh. We didn't notice that the hall has no heating, but blankets were available for those who wanted one. Tickets booked for Jack and the Beanstalk 2020. Can't wait.

The oldest musical Hall in Britain and the stage where Laurel from Laurel and Hardy first performed!
Sadly, it's been badly neglected and is just a dark, hollow shell of its former glory - it's really too bad it has not been recognized as the historic landmark that it is and restored ☹️

The oldest music hall in Europe, the Britannia Panopticon is, to most, a hidden gem in the warm heart of Glasgow. A "must find and see" experience.
The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow is a popular cultural spot with an exhibition space, cafe bar, book shop and theatre space. Lots of events held at the theatre and cinema are also free, making it a great place to visit.
Fantastic old building that has been restored for the benefit of Glasgow and for all the arts. Great food and drink and staff were very friendly and helpful.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Queen's Cross Church is a popular tourist attraction in Glasgow, Scotland, and is one of the most significant examples of his architecture. The simple yet stylish design features stained glass windows and carvings inspired by Mackintosh's Scottish heritage. The church also houses an information center and gift shop with items relating to the architect's life and work.
Great venue for a small gig which was the reason for my visit. Went to see Ward Thomas who were brilliant as always. Access wasn't the best for wheelchair users but with a little help, a wheelchair could be managed up the couple of steps. Disabled toilet facilities were available once inside. There was a separate room housing the bar and merchandise. Would recommend a visit.

One of a handful of Mackintosh buildings in central Glasgow and his only church and one of the most beautiful now open to the public with the twice burned School of Art currently shrouded. As of September 2023 the entrance fee was £5. The church has fairly limited opening hours so check the website before visiting. Once you gain admission you're free to explore on your own.

The Mackintosh Church is an absolutely amazing peice of architecture:) Walking into this Church is like walking into a mini Glasgow School of Art before the fires. Glasgow Scotland is lucky to have the Mackintosh Queens Cross Church. This is well worth a visit. The staff & volunteers make it all worth while, telling the historical story of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. The Church is a venue for Art, Photography, Exhibitions, Music & social Events. An amazing peice of History.

Magical. Been walking or driving past this gem for years, promising myself I'd go in one day soon. More than worth the wait. As beautiful inside as out. Not a religious person but this is so beautiful it can't fail to be an emotional experience. The staff - all Charles Rennie Mackintosh experts - could not have been any nicer or more helpful and as happy to let you explore on your own as guide you and answer questions. Get yourself along here.

Lovely church, lots of little motif’s all around the church and the stain glass is beautiful. Small side room with quite a bit of Macintosh items and a little shop.

Typical drab blackwood pughs but C.R.M influence well evident. Enhanced at the moment by the Gaia exhibit. A planet earth replica globe suspended from the ceiling which shows how the earth looks as seen by.N.A.S.A. astronauts.A constant surround sound soundtrack connects the sculpture with the space and architecture around it, filling the room with atmosphere and ambiance.
My friend Gordon Calder from
Aberdeenshire expressed a desire to see this church whist here on holiday.Neither of us were aware of gaia exhibit until we went there. Unsurprisingly Gaia is a greek goddess, Mother of "Earth".
The church is at Queens Cross Maryhill and is well worth a visit.
The Glasgows Science Centre Tower, the tallest rotating freestanding structure in the world, offers sweeping views of Glasgows panoramic landscape from its 127 metre height. The tower also houses the Glasgow Tower where you can view sights such as The BBC Scotland HQ and The Waverley, the worlds last paddle steamer.
Finally managed to get up the tower today! Well worth a visit (come on a calm day as the tower closes when wind is more than 25mph). The view is stunning and you can see so much from 100odd meters off the ground. I've been up the Berlin Fernsehenturm and you can see way more from Glasgow tower (and the windows are cleaner)

The tower was closed due to winter and high winds but I have done this in the summer before and is an great experience getting above the city a d looking all around and can see the whole city, it does turn so has different view points. The tower is wheelchair friendly however if in event of emergency then you would need to be able to walk down the stairs.

We visited here yesterday during the bank holiday but the place was mobbed.
There wasnt even enough space in the carpark yet were still given a given to try and find a space.
There was plenty to do but it was next to impossible to see most of it because people were pushing in everywhere.
There should be better control of how many people are allowed in at one time and how long you get to spend at one section.
There was hardly any staff about as well to keep an eye on things.
It was £30 for my wife, boy and myself but i wouldn't say it was value for money.
I will go back when its quieter as there was lots of things to do and see but most of what our wee boy wanted to see was extremely difficult to do due to how overcrowded it was

Showed up a bit after they opened on what had been a gray and rainy day. We ended up being the first group up as they apparently can't operate the elevator when the wind is over a certain speed.

This is one of the best attractions in Glasgow!
We used to go for night walks along the river and enjoyed the view but decided to give this a try in summer.
Although a bit on the expensive side but definitely worth a visit atleast once.
We found the staff very friendly and helpful. I have a slight fear of heights and was having second thoughts in the elevator but the then I found myself mesmerised in the views and fear was gone!
It's amazing to be so high up that you can see the entire city almost! Family liked it too and we got our certificates on the way out!!

What an amazing venue. The only reason I can't give it 5* is because I think they should invest in A/C in the upper function room. Other than that it was perfect. Fantastic food! Sharp service and obviously a beautiful room. Was well worth the trip up from Coventry for the visit.

The portions are huge - we shared a starter between the two of us but it could have just as well been shared by 4 people.
A bit on the pricey side but we had a reasonable bill because we shared (although had no dessert as we were full).
We've been seated inside next to the heater - it had to be turned down because it was roasting there. It was dimly lit which was a bit dark for my taste but I think other areas were better.

Lovely place to sit with drinks and/or food. Atmosphere was lovely out in garden area with all the different seating and lighting. Would recommend a visit.

Food was barely OK, not impressive, as average as it can be. Service was nice and efficient.
Their location within Ashton lane, the nice garden & indoor service area are the highlight here I would say, very cozy and welcoming loved my table and they are dogs friendly.

Nice pub / diner. Relaxed atmosphere and ambiance. Pleasant staff and I enjoyed my meal of Muscles in a lemongrass and mild chilly broth. Prices reasonable. Good near by parking. 1 minute from Hillhead Subway so easily accessible from other parts of the city. Also has covered and no. Covered outdoor area and beer garden.

Avoid the fondue. Very disappointing. Arrived warmish but the gel fuel they used kept going out. It was a stodgy cold mess, which we gave up on after 5 attempts by staff to relight the fuel. It was inedible. Shame, as the bar is in a great location and looks quite impressive. Staff were fine. Not their fault. Maybe other menu items were fine, but best to avoid the fondue.

Every time I visit brel it's improved . I only get back every year or two from Germany but I always head to brel. The back terrace area now resembles an ibiza beach bar than the west end cramped wee bar it was when I first started going there about 20 years ago

Gorgeous interior giving off a European pub and beer garden vibe, with indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was cozy. We went on Tuesday and it was a fondue and raclette night! Was fun to self-prep the cheese. The fondue was okay to share between 2 people. It was a good experience but the platter was quite basic. The service was average, very friendly but I think they were a bit stretched in staffing.

Had a wonderful evening at the Brel on Friday night. Our server Jules was fantastic, she was very helpful with the menu and provided us with awesome service. The food was delicious, I had the Risotto. We will definitely come back next time we get over to the UK.

Been here several times for the good food and the atmosphere but never once had good service.
Went last week for dinner and drinks and had booked to sit outside. The place was quiet and there were lots of staff on but still took a wee while to have our order taken. After we had eaten, we were sat with dirty dishes in front of us for absolutely ages waiting for them to be cleared. We ordered a chocolate fondue which was brought out with no fondue forks or plates, the server said they would be right back with them. Waited 10 mins and still no forks or plates - our server was having a chat with their colleague at the bar inside so we ended up just digging in with our hands. We also had to go and pay at the bar since no one was around to ask for the bill.
Also had a birthday meal here earlier in the year, had booked weeks in advance and they stuck me and my partner at a table both facing a TV with football on😅 had one drink each in the hour and a half we were there because no one bothered to come and check on us to take an order.
The food is good, the beer garden atmosphere is lovely, the servers are friendly enough; however, the service is consistently rotten.

Bring blankets, but not your appetite! Dined here for the new Sunday roast for two, but literally had to ask the server if another plate was coming. The temp inside was Baltic, but they did provide blankets -- and the fondue gravy also provided have warmth. The portion was small, and the meat cool, and it tasted like the potatoes had been cooked from frozen.

Absolutely gorgeous spot. Lots of tables inside and outside - we sat outside and it was lovely and warm, lots of gorgeous leaves and string lights. The firepits are wonderful too, they keep you warm while you have a drink. Bartender was really charasmatic and happy to chat with me while he made cocktails up, wonderful spot!

The Z Hotel Glasgow is a hip hotel with a cafe that offers free Wi-Fi and glass-enclosed wet rooms. It's popular with past guests who love the quality vs. price ratio, and complimentary wine and cheese are available from 5 to 8 each evening.
Spent 3 nights here recently, costing just over £50 a night, and thoroughly enjoyed it once again after having some time at this hotel in 2022 too. Staff are all attentive; location is just off the lovely George Square so close to everything going on in the vibrant city, rooms are compact but they've been designed in a really good way with everything you need with comfy beds and Sky TV there as well which you don't get in many hotel establishments. Slept great through my stay with the building being sound proofed. Couldn't find fault with anything & will be booking another stay for next year.

Great little budget hotel. Right round the corner from Glasgow Queen Street rail station. Staff very friendly. Room was small and compact but had everything we needed for a one-night stay. Very clean and modern. Particularly liked the laminate wood floor - HATE carpets in hotel rooms which are probably full of bugs and bacteria! Water pressure was good and strong in shower. Instant hot and cold water in washbasin. Towels were good quality and bigger than usual for a budget hotel. Tea/coffee making kit in room. Bed was a little too soft for our old backs and there was some noise of footsteps on the wood floor above but those were our only complaints; otherwise we’d give it 5 stars. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent value for the centre of Glasgow!

The Z Hotel is good for people that have a short stay in Glasgow. The staff is friendly and the room was clean and very nice, it was only a bit small, but apart from that it was nice. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast in the Hotel, I would rather go and eat breakfast in a restaurant, because you only get intercontinental breakfast in the hotel. The intercontinental breakfast is good, but if you want a Scottish breakfast I would recommend eating out.

We stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The rooms are modern (almost to a fault – the bathroom setup for our room really tested our bond), albeit a bit on the smaller side. We mostly chose this hotel for the location as it's within walking distance to restaurants and attractions, so being able to enjoy the room and service was a bonus.
Christine Hoang — Google review
The Z is a great place to stay for a walking visit to Glasgow, since it's smack dab in the middle of the city, walking distance (even crawling distance) from cool and vibey bars and restaurants. We booked their smallest room which I don't recommend if you're not travelling solo as it's rather tiny and cramped for 2 people. They also had a windowless variety of this room but we were upgraded so cannot imagine how cell-like those must be. The reception/lobby/bar/breakfast area is really small but welcoming, as were the people working there. We had a good time here for our 1 night and definitely will give the larger rooms a try on our next visit.
Pedro Bem — Google review
Great little hotel. Right in the heart of the city. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are always immaculately clean. Rooms are literally just bedrooms with every inch used to the maximum, but if you are after a clean place to stay(primarily as a place to sleep) in the centre of the city, then don’t look past this place. We now stay here anytime we are visiting Glasgow.
Michael Christy — Google review
Very pleasant stay here at the Z Hotel.
Hotel is located 2 minutes walk from Queen Street and is close to everything Glasgow has to offer.
Very modern decor inside as well. Rooms are small but it is only a bed for the night and has a very good shower and bathroom so not something worth moaning about.
I would have given this a 5 star but there were ongoing building works that I wasn't informed about which took place in the morning. I do think besides this the Z Hotel was perfect and I will definitely return.

Such a strange hotel. Unfortunately my room was infested with flies, including inside the lights (see picture). I told staff and they said they would look into it. It clearly wasn’t a new thing.
I asked for another coffee sachet as there was only one in my room. After some fumbling around in the cupboards the 2 staff members didn’t know where to find any.
Good location in the city centre. Could be so much better with better staff and a bit of a renovation.

I had a great experience at the Z Hotel Glasgow - I had to reschedule my booking due to an injury, and the front desk team was very helpful!
When I arrived my room was clean, cozy, and bright. There was water, a kettle, a TV, and a modern bathroom.
The staff is super kind and helpful with recommendations- also, I’d recommend booking directly with staff for a yummy cheese plate!

The hotel itself is very central so great for getting about town. Me and my friends arrived earlier than check in but we were offered early check in which helped a lot. The room was small but had everything we needed in it (the mattress was quite hard though) After a night out one of the staff (Nathan i think his name was) went above and beyond. Very friendly, made us some really nice food and had good banter whilst doing his job. Overall a good stay but mattress maybe needs looking at.

I love the compact rooms, they aren't for
everyone but for a couple on short
getaway it's perfect. The staff kept the
room so tidy when we nipped out and kept on top of the mugs used and water.
A little thing is I wish that in one nook of the room there was even just an extra shelf that would've been perfect to lay out a few of our things as if it had been a longer stay we would've started to run a little short on space.
The bedding is amazing, pillows are very
comfy and made us upset to return to our
own bed and pillows, truly a comfortable
experience.
Very few things we didn't like on our stay,
one issue we had was the TV does seem to dim as you get toward night time (could be dim all the time don't fully remember) both being night owls and coming back to the hotel at the end of the day meant to only time we used the TV you couldn't fully see what was on it, more of a pet peeve than a full issue.

Amazing hotel, one of my favourites in Glasgow, rooms are small but not suffocating, set out really well, staff are lovely, been given a discount on rooms and upgrades for visiting more than once. Great for a romantic city trip, right on the edge of George Square and same road as Queen St Station, down the road from Buchanan Bus Station and about a 10/15 min walk from Central Station. Make sure you check out the bathrooms, though, glass sliding doors with enough privacy for a partner but not enough for family!!! They also do cheese and wine for free past 6.30pm if you book directly with them!

Always one of my favourite hotels in the city. Always very cheaply priced, rooms are small but comfortable, staff have always been faultless and lovely. Location is as good as you'll get in Glasgow as its a 2min walk to Queen Street Station and George Square. I've never taken up the offer of the free wine and cheese but it's a lovely touch, maybe on my next visit, which hopefully won't be too long. Wonderful hotel.

Great location. We were just passing through Glasgow. We were looking for a reasonable priced hotel, just for one night. We didn't want to miss our early flight at the Glasgow Airport. Z hotel was far the most reasonably priced among those that is close to the Train station. We were very pleasantly surprised. Even though the room itself was small, with great design it had everything we needed. The room was also clean and had a cozy, friendly feeling.
Hotel staff also friendly and accommodating. Appreciated those small gestures of providing a good selection coffe, tea and hot chocolate. I highly recommend this hotel.

On arrival the room was very small, the so called double bed wouldn’t fit myself in it never mind me and my partner. The hotel staff kindly upgraded us. The rooms were spotless the only down fall was you heard the city noise all night this can be easily fixed with better windows.
The Tv in our room did not work correctly and the heating also made a ticking noise all night.
I can not fault the service from the staff and how clean the hotel was but unfortunately we would not return due to not being able to sleep well.
Great location if your a deep sleeper.

A modern hotel in the heart of Glasgow City Centre, Apex City of Glasgow Hotel offers a restaurant and bar plus 24/7 room service. The hotel is located close to shops, theatres and sporting events. 104 luxurious bedrooms with free WiFi are available. NCP car parks are nearby for guests' convenience.
The hotel is ideally placed in the centre of Glasgow with Sauchie Hall Street, George Square and the St Enoch Centre all within a short walking distance. Both train stations are also a short walk away. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and attentive and were keen to assist you when required, also recommending places to visit etc. The only downfall was I wish the restaurant served a larger choice of dishes, but there are numerous bars and restaurants near the hotel.

Great hotel in the heart of Glasgow. This hotel is ideally situated for Bars, Restaurants and all transport links to anywhere in the city or indeed further afield.
The rooms are well decorated and the bathrooms are lovely. This hotel is extremely fresh and clean. The only slight issue is if you get a room at the front of the hotel you can hear the traffic noise from about 7am onwards.
Well worth the money.

We paid a total of $337 (£265) for this room which was a complete ripoff. Carpets were stained, dirty, and looked like they hadn’t been even vacuumed. Room was tiny. Paid for a “family room” which was just a normal room but which a fold out couch had been shoved into where there clearly was no room for it. The internet did not work in the room for longer than ~10 minute stretches. Looked out to a view of concrete and an air vent. Only positive side was the staff and the proximity to the bus/ train station so we could get out of here as soon as possible. Would not stay in this hotel or any Apex hotels after this experience.

Watch parking at the closest Q park, the hotel doesn’t give discount to this one. 5pm Sunday to 10:30am Monday £26. The discount is the one down the hill, call and they will tell you which one. Clean rooms, good breakfast.

We booked the duplex suite, the room was very nice really enjoyed the layout and the views are exceptional. The room was very modern and had everything we needed with extra amenities. The only downfall for this room was cleanliness and hygiene, there was lots of dust present at windows and light shades next to bed. We had a really good stay here.

A very good hotel - nice decor, comfy room, friendly staff and excellent breakfast (buffet continental or cooked to order). One star off as the bar menu at the moment is very sparse - I really think a hotel this quality needs to offer more than just pizzas or small plates for evening food, even if there is quite a lot of options around. Appreciate its likely due to staffing issues, but if this is the case maybe explain its due to that?

Apex is in a good location. Very central. I had one issue with a towel that was dealt with quickly. Bar inside is a bit expensive. Maybe try some offers?

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Apex Hotel located in the heart of Glasgow city centre, and I have to say that it was an excellent experience.
One of the standout features of this hotel is its prime location. It's situated right in the centre of the city, which makes it incredibly convenient to get around and explore all that Glasgow has to offer. It's within walking distance of a number of shops, restaurants, and attractions, and there is even parking available nearby for those who are driving.
The hotel itself has a sleek and modern design, with a minimalist aesthetic that feels clean and inviting. My room was spacious and comfortable, with a large and comfortable bed that made for a great night's sleep. The bathroom was also well-appointed and included all the amenities I needed.
In terms of price, I found the Apex Hotel to be very reasonable, especially given its central location and the quality of the accommodations. Overall, my stay at the hotel was very pleasant, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Glasgow.

Having had a bad start to my journey I arrived at the hotel to be told I did not have a booking. Lucky for me I had printed confirmation of my booking. I was feeling really stressed but the lovely young gentleman on reception managed the situation wonderfully. He was very calm, helpful and extremely professional. His handling of the situation turned a potentially horrible experience into an extremely pleasant overnight stay. I think his name was Gisan and I apologise if I have got it wrong. Special thanks to him. The other receptionist were lovely and friendly also. I would confidently recommend this hotel

Absolutely FANTASTIC stay! We wished we could stay there again! The room and hotel were full of "thoughtful little extras" to make you feel very pampered and special. The location is perfect and the food was excellent. The young man (October 22 morning shift) at the front desk was so helpful, professional and kind that he made our stay even better than we expected! I would not hesitate to recommend it or stay again myself.

BEST hotel in Glasgow. They let me stay in the lounge and had a great expresso while I waited for my room (I arrived at 7am and check in was at 3). I went to Edinburg for the day and on the way back I was trying to find a coffee shop open to charge my phone but everything I saw were bars and they let me be here even though I was not going to stay with them another night. Excellent service and the rooms are really nice to be honest.

The Fraser Suites Glasgow is a 4-star serviced accommodation in Glasgow, close to Buchanan Street and High Street. It offers an a la carte restaurant and entertainment activities, as well as a living area onsite. Studio units are perfect for solo or couple travelers.
Good value for a modern suite in a decent location. I'd recommend a studio executive room as it's really spacious. Our room was quite warm in September, though there was a plug in air conditioner/fan which I think you'd need to use in June - August time. There is a multi storey car park next door (not owned by Fraser Suites). We booked this in advance using the discount code from the Fraser Suites website and paid £29 for 48 hours. I'm not sure if this was in/out parking as we left the car there the whole time.

Great location and value for money. Room was really big, lovely to have so much space. Fantastic bathroom and great shower. Appreciated the free coffee machine in the foyer and laundry facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful and it was also very clean and felt covid safe in the room. The only downside was the lack of cooking oil in the kitchen for making food with, there is salt and pepper but no other condiments or things to help cook food with. Although there are pans and all the necessary equipment, the kitchen is better set up for heating food up in the microwave or making sandwiches.

We stayed in one of the apartments for a weekend visit to Glasgow. The building was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We even had a good chat with the fella that was working the breakfast room (I think his name is Andrew).
The only downside we noted was that the noise from the pub/club on the ground floor of the building was... well, noisy until they closed around 4 am; not a big issue for us but maybe not great if you're bringing kids.
Good value and very handy for getting out and about in town, we'll probably be back at some point.

Decent location, not in the true city centre but close to trendy bars and a short walk to the Barrowland venue if visiting for a gig. The only nearby parking is very expensive but that's to be expected in the location.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
The room was a decent size, but it felt a little on the grubby side. A decorative bed cushion had a large suspect stain and the sofa and carpet had also seen better days. It was fine just for somewhere to sleep but I didn't feel overly comfortable spending time relaxing or eating in the room.

Cozy apartment-style suites in the middle of Merchant City, in a block full of awesome bars. (Can get a wee bit loud in the eve though). Easy walking distance to the shopping districts and plenty more pubs within 15-20 mins walking. Rooms were spacious and clean—staff was welcoming. Some furnishings look a bit well-worn, but the space was tidy, and they offer L'Occitane bath products!

Really disappointing.
We chose this hotel because it had parking and is close to the centre of Glasgow. Our stay there was from Friday to Monday morning.
The disappointment started before we arrived.
The hotel does not assure you that you will have a parking space, because they do not have parking in their building, but they are associated with a paid public car park near the hotel. So for our stay there was no availability and we had to look for another car park.
On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the room, it was a mini flat quite complete and clean, the disappointment came again when we went to sleep. The hotel is located in a street close to a night pub and the soundproofing of the room was nil. During the 3 nights we stayed there we could not rest, we could hear everything: people partying in the night clubs, the rubbish trucks and the street sweepers picking up the rubbish from the party nights.
If your trip is all about partying, this is the hotel for you. It is quite well located, but if your aim is to visit the city and go on excursions, I can assure you that you won't get any rest here.
And last but not least, they didn't do our room during our stay there even if we said so. I asked on the second day when I saw that nobody had done it, they told me that they did it every two days 🤷🏻♀️ and the next day, nothing. No one changed our towels or picked up the room for the 3 days we were there. Shocking!
Our experience at this hotel was quite negative.

Nice room, though we were given a handicap-room. Spacy, but had to bend over for the sink. The view was to a backalley/construction site and the room had no AC. It was really hot somehow, even though the outside temp was low. Otherwise clean and comfortable. Big bed!

Nice location Good Upkeep Friendly Staff - the apartments on back side have continues noise of air ducts & trash bottles being loaded from ground floor. Also have a big parking lot in back so strictly avoid backside rooms. No Air Cooling so when warm need to use fans. Nesspresso coffee in rooms & in lobby good gesture. Overall decent stay for family but not as good as Paris or few other Fraser Suites.

Location was great but and the room had all that we needed. However, we had a room at the front and were kept awake every night until about 3am by clubbers and revellers. Hotel needs double glazing and better sound proofing.

Fabulous location, we were thrilled with our apartment, loved the beds and the complimentary extras. I would definitely come back. I visited Edinburgh Fraser suites also. Loved there too. I would highly recommend staying here.

I stayed here September 26th 2022 for 3 nights on business and I could not have chosen a better venue.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the rooms were Immaculately clean, with a great array of supplies.
For those who this applies to, this hotel is available on Clairity so make sure you have a look for it.
Well definitely be back.

What a place! Got an upgrade to a corner apartment upstairs. 2 bedrooms and just amazing. Above Maggie Mays and so handy for all amenities. Just a brilliant night and staff were very helpful.
Colin Clark — Google review
Great location for exploring downtown Glasgow. The room is extremely warm, often hot, with no air conditioning or ability to vent. There are windows but due to the room layout there is no ability for cross breeze just stifling. This despite the hallways being nicely air conditioned!
We would probably stay here again if visiting in the winter but not in the summer or warmer temperatures.
Parking is available at a next door garage at about 20 pounds a night. You must walk around the block to access the garage so you have to drag your bags a ways.

We love Fraser Suites. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Our suite was very comfortable with a small kitchen and living room area. We asked for a bath and the receptionist was so helpful and made sure we had one. The bath was huge, the towels really soft and the toiletries were great. The location is perfect for shopping in Glasgow or going to a concert. I've stayed in lots of hotels in Glasgow, I would highly recommend the Fraser Suites, it is my first choice when planning a break in Glasgow.

Arrived to a very large 1 bed apartment. Unfortunately it was not welcoming. Dark cold room looking into the multi story car park next door.
Asked to move room which te staff were happy to do.
Second room was smaller but nicer. Would benefit from more lighting.
When it was time for bed, we realised there was a Pub below our room with music playing until 2am. The floor was vibrating with the loud music.
We then requested another move due to lack of sleep.
Again staff were happy to provide another room. This time we were given a studio which was smaller again and dark.
Bed was really comfortable and not much noise before 6am then it must have been bin emptying time.
I dont think we would visit here again as it was not a restful break.

We stayed in the Fraser Suites in Glasgow which is a serviced apartment that is in a very good location that is easy to get to from all train stations in Glasgow city centre. We stayed here while they were going through renovations but this didn't affect our stay other than we had to use a different door which was fine, they had a great Indian restaurant nearby which we went to for dinner. I liked their kitchenette although the instructions for how to use their cooker could be more clearer as we were trying to cook in there and we weren't very successful I'm going to put that down to our error and not the apartment's issue. The staff here were lovely and the room is incredibly spacious, I know I'd love to stay again but it's just now at that price where it's not possible however if you do have that kind of money I would recommend coming here because you do get what you pay for and it shows in this place.

Stayed here for 1 night, nice clean hotel. Check in was straight forward they do breakfast but we never went for any also they have a coffee machine which is free to use. The room was big and has pretty much everything you need to make your own dinner or store stuff away, the only thing that the room was roasting, the windows won't open and there's no AC there is a small heater to plug into the wall and you can change the setting to cold which was ok, the TV wasn't infront of the bed it was basically next to the door as you walk in which is random 🤣 so if you wanted to lie down and watch TV you would probably need to move the TV. The beds are comfy aswell. Overall gd stay, would stay again
The health food restaurant Martha's provides diners with hearty and healthy dishes made with local ingredients. The simple ethos of the restaurant allows diners to make healthy choices without losing out on flavour or quality. TheChipotle chicken meal deal was excellent, with the salad being particularly fantastic. I am looking forward to returning to Martha's soon.
Fantastic. The food in Martha's is excellent. I had the meal deal with chipotle chicken. The salad was fantastic. I'll be back. Nice chilled place with friendly staff

The first time I had the Papaya Green salad, which was super yummy and flavoursome. Definitely no boring salad here! I also had a vegan banana cake, which was incredible. So moist and flavoursome, and just the right balance of sweetness! My second time I opted for the Thai veggie curry, which I loved even more than the salad from the other day. The flavours were just incredible, and the portion size was perfect. I stupidly didn't think to ask for the vegan coleslaw however, but now I know for next time! I also got a raw peanut butter cake, which I saved for later because I was too full. I think I preferred the banana cake, but the peanut butter one was wonderful too.

It's great to be able to get a healthy, tasty and filling lunch in the city centre.
They have a really varied menu, and the service is so quick it doesn't eat into your lunch break. All the food is freshly made and if you're not sure what to go for, I would recommend trying the Lebanese veg or chicken rice bowls, so tasty!

If youre looking for a student-friendly bar with great cocktails, Vodka Wodka is the place to go! The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is fun and lively. The outdoor seating area is especially nice in cold weather.

Vodka Wodka is an excellent pub on Ashton Lane. Great bar with lots of drinks availability and a huge cocktail selection too.
Ample seating inside the front, even more behind and on a summers day in the HUGE beer garden, there is loads of outside seating and the DJ brings in a good crowd.
Highly recommended

Excellent venue. We got the 115 package with 5l cocktail and 1l of shots...really worth it. Venue is well run and ordering at table using local food and drink delivered app. Really quick efficient using that. Staff were great and really made the night great. Outside seating but plenty of coverage and heaters. Definitely be back and definitely recommend. It is 2hour booking slots but well worth it
Sub Club is a popular night club located in the underground space of Jamaica Street. It is loaded with badass DJs who are known for their sick beats and ability to crank up the party atmosphere. This nightspot has been around since 1987 and is well-known for its bodysonic dancefloor which is one of the largest in the world. It attracts a wide range of party seekers, with its diverse lineup of DJs always keeping everyone entertained.
good music and nice atmosphere , evrey drink 4.5 pounds . the entrance is tricky sometime they let you in sometimes not

PLEASE DO NOT support this club. I came up to Glasgow as an early birthday treat to see my friend. When we were in the queue and tried to enter the club, an extremely arrogant and rude bouncer randomly selected myself and my friend and told us we were not allowed in for being ‘too drunk’. Considering my friend had not even been drinking and I had only had a couple earlier in the night, this was completely unwarranted. I saw quite a few other people in the same situation and no one could understand why they were being talked down to when they had already pre paid their tickets and were not in an ‘unfit state’. I have seen similar reviews about this and I really think management should speak to their bouncer and fire him. It’s clearly a capacity issue within the club, but we had all already bought our tickets. I’ve been left really frustrated by this experience and I do not recommend this club to anyone who wants to have a good night with their friends.
Mia Brigham — Google review
Really unhelpful if you’ve lost your ticket for the cloak room. The moustache man working there last night was not listening to me when I was describing it and shoved my head with his fingers when I was dipping to see if I could spot my jacket hanging up. It’s really put me off coming here again!
Graeme Scott — Google review
UPDATE MAR 2022: Gave Sub Club another go, went to GERD JANSON night on 19th February, given all this fuss about the guy. I’m still at a complete loss regarding the music policy, honestly. Place heaving again, I really do think the crowd here will go bananas at absolutely any overhyped bland rubbish, banging the ceiling and chanting to the pattern of the dull, ordinary music. And the whole thing is pushed at you like it’s the best of electronic music, which actually irritates me because this is not anything of the sort. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Sub Club on Saturday was completely overcrowded. Bouncers really arrogant at door, one of them was rude to my friend and was staring later on in night, looking for opportunities to throw people out I think. Place full of the usual types too, is the Sub Club not meant to be cool etc, full of bams. The music was awful, I really don’t get its reputation for that at all, have thought it grossly overrated musically every time I’ve been. Don’t get this commitment to these two jokers dj’ing on a Saturday in Sub Club, the wee old guy can’t mix and the other geezer in the baseball cap isn’t much better. Thought it was meant to be innovative and all that but don’t seem to have had a new idea in the 30 years we keep hearing it’s been around. And I still think that Sub Club crowdfunding stinks.

Unbelievably immature young ginger haired Scotch lad of a bouncer. Myself & My Work Colleague (a man of colour) just arrived to Glasgow on a flight from Ireland, checked into hotel and went straight to this club to vibe to the DJ that was playing last night. Young lad "bouncer/doorman" who thinks he is a tough man asked did we know what was happening in the place tonight..we did indeed...as we know & respect the DJ that was playing....the young ginger lad mistakenly informed us that we were too drunk and to call back in half an hour...unfortunately we didnt have the pleasure of a drink having arrived straight from work...healthcare workers.....Needless to say I informed him we wouldnt be back and he agreed with me that he was a racist while appearing to have had enjoyment out of his actions. From a fellow Irish to a Scot...I am beyond disgusted. An apology would be beneficial, however, not expected. That young lad would bring shame to Scotland never mind to a nightclub & his work colleagues, bless his wee cotten socks.
Laura G — Google review
Unbelievably disappointed. Entry was over 11 quid and pre booked ticket only, go buy two drinks, dance with my girlfriend for less than an hour. A bouncer comes into the the dance floor and tells me I have to leave and takes me outside, completely unwarranted. Girlfriend also had to leave after paying 11 quid. Would not recommend.

Ian Corrigan — Google review
Subclub used to be a good spot where you wouldn't be subject to scrutiny. The venue itself is lovely, but the staff are terrible (mainly the people working the door) One person in particular, a female bouncer feels the need to be on a power trip and knock back people who are clearly 100% sober. Three separate occasions, I as well as other pals have not been let in for being "too drunk" even after shelling out 15£ for tickets. If you even think about having anything before you go, consider yourself not getting in.

The Gin Spa is a day spa dedicated to all things gin, and offers various treatments tailored to your skin type using botanicals like clove, lavender, pink grapefruit and bergamot.
Beautifully decorated, plush, relaxing spa rooms. Lovely therapists, giving lovely treatments. We had facials and reflexology this visit. In the past have had massages too. The little extras are a real treat too
Caroline Breen — Google review
It's expensive, however the treatments are exceptional. I go for a lot of massages, I had a deep tissue one and I'd say its the best in Glasgow. The therapist was amazing. They add additional little touches that are fab. Lost one star due to price and as its been awhile since I was last there and I felt the place could do with a lick of paint and update on furniture or the cards for example as well worn.

We will definitely come back soon.

Naomi was fabulous on the treatments. Loved it. The stag through on the cafe bar were very nice and helpful too. 4 stars is for the food. Ordered gluten free. The bread was the usual supermarket bread that I avoid buying as it breaks up but this was stale. The cucumber on the cucumber salad would have been half a millimeter and wasn't sure what was spread on one of the others as it was so thin too. Cakes were good though.

My son took me here for mother's day afternoon tea . The staff were excellent so helpful and friendly considering how busy they were they were still cheerful. My only criticism and it is a small one was the tea/coffee system. I much prefer my afternoon teas to be served with my own pot of tea instead of having to wait for someone to bring it. I would still recommend this place and I will be back.

All in all I will definitely be returning, and recommending it to my friends!

Came here yesterday for the first time to treat my other half and myself to a signature body massage, it’s setback in a really nice and ‘posh’ location just off the road. We were treated like royalty as soon as we arrived for our appointment, and were taken downstairs to a place you never knew existed. It’s really dark and calming and the noises make you want to go to sleep. We were both in separate rooms which wasn’t a problem and I was seen by Elenja, she first of all gave me a foot soak with some foot salts, gave me some privacy to get changed and then she worked really well on my back especially working out the knots and the aches and pains from 43 years. You get to select a good selection of oils for her to use and she does ask you what firmness you’d like her to use on you.
Everything is so nice and relaxing and the staff are so professional, brilliant first time there. You also get some positive words by selecting some cards st the start if your massage and a nice bit of detoxing chocolate afterwards . This was followed up by a nice glass of complimentary gin and tonic from the Gin bar up above.

Good value for the experience combining a treatment of your choice and an afternoon tea with gin and prosecco. Great concept! The treatment I chose (neck, back, shoulder massage) was excellent!

I was gifted a Botanical Bliss voucher for The Gin Spa for my birthday and it was amazing! The voucher included afternoon tea with prosecco and 60 minutes worth of treatments. The afternoon tea was delicious with a great variety on offer. The service was friendly and welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. Afterwards, we went for our treatments in the gorgeous spa. I opted for a back, neck and shoulder massage and a Reflexology treatment. My therapist, Ellis, was delightful and excellent at not only the treatments, but at explaining to me at the end what she had noticed my problem areas were and how to best look after myself. The treatment room itself was very calming and luxurious in feel. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and can't wait to return again. It was lovely to get some "me" time.
If you're in Glasgow and craving some delicious pizza, Domino's Pizza on Crow Road is the place to go. Whether you prefer a quick walk via Dumbarton Road or a more scenic route through Hyndland, getting there is easy. You can also take the underground from Partick and stop at Byres Road before heading to Ashton Lane, a charming alleyway filled with cozy pubs and beer gardens.
Great pizza but could be doing with a bit more cheese on top, staff friendly definitely will be back
Alison McCrae — Google review
Ordered for collection and was given the wrong sides, hadn't noticed until I got home and they wanted me to come back to the store to correct it asked them if they could deliver it to me and the replacements took over an hour (It was a Saturday in fairness) but shouldn't have been wrong in the first place. Pizza was substandard, not much cheese on it so the tomato sauce was dry as was the base. I like Dominoes but I'll refrain from ordering from the branch in the future.
Jamie Dingwall — Google review
The last time I ordered the delivery driver forgot my bottle of coke and upon realisation just shrugged his shoulders. He did not seem keen on going back to get it so I let it slide and told him it was okay, even though I was slightly annoyed. Tonight I have received my pizza with a long black hair on it. I know this is human nature and I'm guessing an easy mistake to make but you have a 'quality control' part of your tracker so why is no quality control taking place. On this occasion the hair was very obvious and I find it very unacceptable that it was sent to me this way. I won't be ordering from this dominos again and hope that this review will improve your levels of attention to detail and hygiene.
Stacey Coad — Google review
Appalling customer service. Placed an order worth £25. Wrong pizza repeatedly delivered, which I handed back to the driver. When I phoned up to speak to the manager, who was increasingly impatient, he concluded that they couldn't do anything as it was my fault. Paid for a pizza, but never had one. After 6 years of been a loyal customer, I'll be taking my service elsewhere.

The app has a melfunction. Accidentally selected extra cheese- added on the extra charge. Then unselected it- went back to the normal charge (to clarify I still wanted cheese just not extra and still paid the original price) arrived with no cheese. Called back , got attitude. Got told it would arrive soon. Still waiting two hours later. Will not order from dominos again.
Amy Le Grange — Google review
Worst dominos I’ve ever been to. The cheese was rubbery, either so much sauce or none at all on slices and I go to dominos around once a fortnight and never before seen it this greasy. Wasn’t just on one pizza - all of them were like this. Almost no garlic on pizza bread it was all tomato sauce. Wedges were hard and very obviously undercooked. Definitely never going back to this branch.
Becca Harrington — Google review
Terrible service! Ordered from here twice with bad service, first time the pizza arrived an hour late and it was cold, second time they phones to cancel because of bad weather, promised a full refund but this never happened, phone up and told it would be sorted, this still hasn't happened, will not order from here again! Bad bad service!

The Waverley Bar is a friendly and welcoming pub that attracts genuine locals and visitors alike. It's divided into two separate areas, both with clean toilets nearby. While it offers an outdoor area, it may not be ideal during certain times of the year. The bar is known for showing sporting events on TV without overpricing its drinks. Visitors enjoy evening entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as bingo and live music on Tuesdays.
Nice public house and does what it says on the tin serves beer

Ashton Lane is a quaint and lively backstreet in the city's West End, home to restaurants, bars, and a historic cinema. It is an epicenter of the action in this part of town, with cafes, breweries and eclectic shops all crammed into its narrow streets.

Get off on Hill Head metro station. Easy accessible from the metro station and therefore city centre. Not much to see, maybe it is livelier in nighttime.
Byres Road is a trendy area located in the west end of Glasgow, offering an array of cool cafes, hipster restaurants, boutique stores, and vintage shops. The cobblestoned streets around Byres Road hide hidden gems such as antiques and bespoke clothing stores. It's a vibrant area with plenty of options for dining and shopping. Additionally, the nearby Ashton Lane adds to the lively atmosphere with its bars and restaurants.

The tour takes you to iconic music spots in the city, including the famous Barrowland Ballroom, which has hosted some of the biggest rock stars in history. Led by knowledgeable music journalists, these tours are perfect for anyone who loves music and wants to discover more about Glasgow's musical heritage.
This was a great walking tour and I would fully thoroughly recommend it as an alternative walking tour. The lady doing the tour definitely knew her musical history of Glasgow. We learnt many things and we're taken to many sites of interest. The old music hall has to be the stand out, but as a Simple Minds fan I enjoyed seeing Barrowlands and the artist pathway at Barrowlands Park.

This is a fantastic guided tour around the music venues of Glasgow that I would highly recommend! The tour guide was really welcoming, enthusiastic and really knew his stuff. He made it so interesting and engaging. It was really fascinating finding out about all the world famous music stars that have had gigs in the city over the years. I would love to do the other tour when I'm next in Glasgow.
One word of warning; it can get a bit chilly/rainy even in the summer months, then sometimes the sun comes out again, so bring a jacket/coat that you can slip on and off or easily carry.

The Glasgow's Music Mile tour is a fun, informative and non-exhausting (if you can take the odd uphill climb) tour of some of the major music locations and legendary venues in the heart of Glasgow, some now sadly gone. Phil was a fantastic tour guide and his lived knowledge of the Glasgow music scene and genuine passion and enthusiasm for that and the city really come through, but his knowledge and love for other musical cities and a variety of genres is infectious. It's well worth spending your Saturday after lunch on!

I received vouchers from a friend and finally managed to book the music mile tour for myself and my husband. Fiona was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and was great to see photos and hear stories of venues that no longer stand as well as venues that still survive. Nice to learn something new about your home town. Would definitely recommend.

Very interesting and well delivered tour that dives into Glasgow's unique music history. The group size was just right and our guide told compelling stories.

A wonderful tour of some of Glasgow’s music scene. Great stories about venues and artists. Well worth it. Two hours (and a little but more) whizzed by.
