Basic dive bar. The help is pleasant enough, but the clientele is a bit rough and boisterous. This is basically a place for locals only.

Cambuslang

You know what? For a Wetherspoons in Cambuslang, this is a pretty damn good pub. I was here on a…read moreFriday night for a friend's birthday and the place was busy. We were seated up the top in the dining area and the place is an amazing restoration from the former cinema built in the 20s. It's got glamour and style, and I love how they've kept some of the seating area at the top - although the creepy mannequins are super... creepy. The only issue with this place is that its order at the bar (expect to be around 10 minutes) and the food menu is ridiculous. There was so many dishes to choose from (over 30, by my guess) that it took me ages to decide what to have. I ended up going for macaroni cheese with extra cheese (hey, it was an option). The food arrived to our table pretty quickly and actually, I really liked the macaroni cheese. It was obviously insanely cheesy but also had a nice crumb of cripsy breadcrumbs on top. Generous size and super cheap at around £5. While I can't imagine going out of my way to go here, it was a great place to spend a while for a birthday night out so if I was in Cambuslang again, I might make my way back.

First of all I need to give some background as context to this review. I lived most of my life in…read morethe west of they city where local bars are in abundance and there are literally tonnes of places I would go for a pint. A few years back we moved to Cambuslang and there was literally no where in the area that I would go for a pint without fearing for my life. This meant the news of a Weatherspoon's opening on Main Street certainly gave cause for interest. Again more context is needed as I am not a fan of the brand and therefore I was ready to hate the place from the moment I walked through the door. The interior is huge and has been done up nicely. They have left a lot of the old touches from the bingo hall that was open here many years back. I like that they have not ripped all the old history out. The beer range is amazing and cheap. Literally the cheapest I can think of in Glasgow. £1.70 for a pint of craft IPA is unheard of these days. They also do food, but I am not sure I would eat here, it's more a bar in my mind. That said I had some onion rings last night and they tasted fine. If this bar had set up in other parts of Glasgow this review would be different I think, but in Cambuslang for me this is the best thing to happen since I got here 5 years ago. It's a shame they don't play music, but you can't have everything I guess. If your a lost tourist, this place is safe to stop for a pint. If your a local not from the area originally and without a "local" bar you should give it a try. If you have lived in Cambuslang all your like and usually stick to your normal bars you should still also check it out. I reckon you will be surprised at the range and value for money.
