I've became a wee regular here, well so the Yelp app tells me. Hehe!! I was here last week and the week before but both times I had some eats. My last few visits have mostly been for the boozing including my last review so I thought it was about time to update on their menu. Some of us eager Yelpers, whom will be "och ayeing" all the way in kilts to Loch Lomond, decided to meet here to arrange some of our finer Kiltwalk details. It was also great opportunity to try the Inn Deep menu. I opted for the halloumi cheese and red pepper burger with a side of their sweet sweet potato fries. Only I could turned a veggie dish carnivore and I asked for some bacon on it. It did arrive with pickles instead, maybe they thought they had misheard me. "Meat on a veggie dish? Nah she probably meant pickles." Well unfortunately they were wrong, I cannae stand pickles, they gie me the bolk. My burger was super squeaky and salty. Ooo er! It was simply delicious. My next visit, I was with the delightful Tanya L. all the way from Edinburgh, and we stopped by for food. I have say it was super mega mahoosively busy and we only just managed to get a seat in the outside arch but unfortunately with the smokers. We did however get a wee heat from the heated lamps and were entertained by children and many many dogs. We ordered from the bar and this time I opted for some macaroni cheese with a side of those sweet sweet potato fries. Yum!!! The mac and cheese was lovely and creamy, it also comes with garlic bread but I don't do garlic bread. Sorry! I also treated myself to a Bacchus Raspberry Bier. Help those Sweet potato fries go down nicely. If you haven't been definitely go but I would maybe avoid getting food on a busy night like a Friday and Saturday. It can get crammed, especially with students. Inn Deep also has a tele so can become again busy especially if there's sports on. A great wee bar to visit especially as it's in a lovely setting of right beside the River Kelvin and the subway is just a hop skip and jump away. Not been yet? How no? Get in! read more

It's time for a THIRD review update for Inn Deep, and this time it's to take it to 5 stars. Woohoo! I've been here a bunch of times now. I'd previously had feelings that there was something missing in this pub ... but I couldn't really put my finger on it. I've realised that it's just the kind of place that takes a few visits to get properly comfy in, but woah - when you are - it's like the best bean bag ever. Things I love: - The staff, they are properly friendly and awesome - The food. They have a good, varied menu (although not loads of choice if you're gluten free) and you'll be impressed by what's dished up. I got nachos (again) and I'm pleased to report they were smothered all over in the cheese rather than just the top layer. - The beer, obviously. - The outdoor area - both along the walkway and in the side tunnel. If the sun is out, this is the perfect spot to visit and if it isn't, you can still enjoy the crisp Glasgow area and the calming noise of the River Kelvin rushing by from inside the snugness of the seating area. - The tunes. Things I don't love quite so much: - The toilet cubicles are a wee bit narrow. - There's lots of stairs. See, there's not really much to comment on by way of negative points. I love any excuse for a visit here and when the sun comes out, I'll be vying for a seat along the walkway with every other man and his dog in Glasgow. read more

Inn Deep I did you an injustice. I rated you three stars when you should of been at least four. Maybe it was the thick cut chips, maybe it was that I missed big blue, maybe it was because I did not appreciate your style and cool vibe, but I do now!! In a city that lacks craft beer bars this place is certainly worth a visit if like me you yearn for unusual bottles and several strangely named beer taps. I have been here loads of times. I love the beer variety, love the river view, I love the space under the arch, I love the way you let legions of dugs share the bar with the human punters and I love sitting outside on a summers day sinking a pint and watching the world go by. I won't rate you on food. I will rate you on coolness and beer range. Your really do deserve at least 4 yelpy stars! Maybe one day I will have food again and get to add number 5. read more

For the continued amazing selection of amazing beer that changes on a regular basis. For the house beers that match up easily to all the guest beers. For the new artwork on the back room. For the friendly service. For the love of god, go here if you like beer. G'bye now! read more

I love this joint. I do, I do, I do. When it first opened I would have written a 4-star, I liked it, but I just didn't love it. And yet, like the best pair of stompy boots I own, I've grown more and more comfortable there. A good deal of this, I think, has been the addition of the chef who used to work at my beloved Wise Monkey (now gone, rest in peace, *sob*) and with his arrival came an upgrade in the food. Not that it wasn't good, but now it's great. Huge burgers with interesting toppings, ribs so well cooked that you barely need cutlery, and from what I hear there's a new pizza oven. I'm *so* looking forward to the pizza oven. And when the kitchen can play with Williams Brothers beers as an ingredient? Oh yes. Oh yes yes yes. (See especially the bangers and mash selection.) Being able to spread out (within reason) along the banks of the Kelvin on sunny days (and not-so-sunny days if you have a jacket) is a welcome break from sitting in the fumes of Great Western Road, as is your main option round here. The outside-inside area (one of the railway arches next to the main bar) is a great addition to the space (and a major change from Big Blue, its predecessor) and you can get food out here (as well as on the tables by the river) although beware smokers. One of the main things I like about the place (other than the awesome staff) is the atmosphere and ethos of the place. Unlike a certain other craft beer place in Glasgow, there's a huge range of other brewers' products, with an emphasis on variety. And Black Rat Cider for those of us who aren't big beer drinkers. Run, don't walk! read more

Inn Deep - Halloween decorations... - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

A hop, skip and a shoogle to Kelvinbridge Underground - up the ESCALATOR OF DOOM (don't run up the down one, it's not big, it's not clever and yes, there is video proof of me doing it on YouTube one drunken night) and across the bridge, and in the nondescript door, and down the stairs, the almost endless stairs... And contained within is Williams Bros nirvana. I'm quite partial to an ale or two (or three, or four, or five) and Williams Bros stuff is just the ticket for me. It's not just those ales though, there's a wide selection of guest beers and the usual spirits and what not. The layout is a bit weird at first, but it's fine once you get a grasp on it. When/if the summer arrives, I'd imagine the outside seats are popular and give a great view of the river in full flow. There's also plenty of skulking places for Johnny No Mates like myself to stand with a pint and try not to be noticed, and bizarrely - a great phone signal for that essential Yelping (nice touch with the sign at the top of the stairs encouraging you to review, too!) that simply can't wait. The staff are capable and friendly and the prices are fair for a damn fine selection of beer. This is a place I can definitely see me going to again and again. When I come back, it'll be for some food, I saw some mac and cheese go by that just screamed EAT ME. Not literally, that would be weird and a bit freaky... read more

I visited Glasgow for two days. On the first day, I asked my tour guide where to eat lunch. I told her that I wanted great beer and a great atmosphere. I was NOT disappointed. The bar tenders are super friendly, they had an amazing selection of beer, including both cask and draft and it is a great place to hang out. I sat outside, by the river and met some really cool folks who were also visiting Glasgow. If I lived in Glasgow, I would be a regular. Instead, I have great memories. Cheers! read more

Great beer, great staff and a great atmosphere. This is the closest thing to the Williams Bros brewery tap room you are going to find. They always have a great selection of cask and kegged beers on tap from Williams Bros and guests. Great well cooked food from a good menu of burgers, sausages and pub classics. Good portion sizes so you feel you are being filled right up. You can sit outside right next to the kelvin and enjoy the tranquillity of the river flowing past. Right next door to Kelvinbridge underground and on Great western road making access to public transport dead simple. It is a must visit venue. read more

A hidden, yet popular west end gem, situated at Kelvinbridge, running along the riverside. You can enter via the Gt Western Rd staircase, or round the back of Kelvinbridge subway. Though beware of cyclists and enthusiastic dog walkers! Owned by Williams Bros brewery Inn Deep caters for craft beer enthusiasts like myself. They have 5 or so regulars on tap, including my favourite, Black Ball Porter, as well as an ever changing menu of guest brewskis. It's not the cheapest place to drink, like most craft dedicated bars, and of you're looking for Tennents or Carlsberg, keep walking, but the quality of the beers, draught and bottle, make up for it. There's also tap and bottled cider, and a full bar of spirits and wine, and a coffee machine for those beer haters. My favourite place to enjoy a beer is their outdoor seating area, open till 10pm, and you have the choice of a table overlooking the Kelvin, or a heated nook under the bridge. Particularly nice when the weather is turning a tad nippy. They also have a range of tasty meals to warm you up and line your belly, including the pub standards of pizza and burgers, as well as warm sandwiches. Staff are generally friendly, knowledgable about their brews, and happy to let you try before you buy. read more

Love the Herrljunga cider from Sweden. The pub is also quite clever looking and smart with a view of the river. The allergen alerts are quite thoughtful. Tonight we tried crab tacos, baby squid, pizza, mussels and the brisket sandwich. Altogether a cohesive experience paired with good service and an exceptional meal. Service was a slightly slower than normal due to the hordes of people gathered around to drown out the pressures of life and living, but given the wonderful food and atmosphere, that didn't really detract :-) read more

The first time I went to Inn Deep, it was a friends birthday back in September. We got a big seat in one of the arches outside next to the River Kelvin and it was a great night. Their menu is quite extensive and impressive, but what's even more impressive is their selection of alcohol. One of new favourites is a Swedish Lemon and Ginger cider. It. Is. Amazing. and I thank the lovely Carolyn E. and her other half for introducing it to me. Brilliant. Even otherwise though does Inn Deep have an incredible selection of whisky (and they all ways have a Whisky of the Month which is very decently priced, if I may add that) but also of craft beers and other ciders. In that respect, it definitely gets five stars! The food is great, the burgers look brilliant, I've been told the brisket is fantastic, the pizzas are tasty with a huge selection of toppings to choose from. Last night I went for the broccoli and spinach fritters which came with a "blue cheese" dipping sauce (I put this into inverted commas for a reason, but bear with me), and my friend went for the mac and cheese, and to quote him "Seems like they don't like cheese here". The mac'n'cheese - the cheese is in the name - were definitely lacking cheese and my "blue cheese" dip was not blue cheese, but more like a tangy mayonnaise. I liked it, but it's a little misleading if you're expecting blue cheese. Furthermore, they did have some sort of coriander-like spice that I wasn't too keen on, and I found a number of peppercorns in my mouth too. Even so, there is something about that place that doesn't convince me. Unfortunately I can't put my finger on it. It has a super relaxed atmosphere, the staff is, for the most part, very friendly, and their choice of music is absolutely brilliant (think a little underground but if you've ever liked a bit of rocky beat with drums and guitars to your music, with a bit of the Roots thrown in, you'll love it!). So there you have it, food, great music, outside seating and great music, it's absolutely A-OK! read more

A wander on what turned out to be a sunny day found me at Inn Deep. A confession, it feels a little like I should have my Yelp badge removed as this was the first time I've stopped at Inn Deep - I know, I know, there is no real excuse other than it being at the 'wrong' end of Great Western Road for me - but it won't be my last! I managed to get a seat outside in one of the arches, which was handy as whilst it was sunny, there were some random showers. I plonked myself down with a Drygate Apple Ale, and watched the world and their dog go by. It was a brief stop, but the well stocked bar, laid back atmosphere and friendly staff - plus all the great reviews here - mean it won't be my last visit. Just need to find a reason to get back down to that area again, c'mon the sunshine! read more

I've only been here once and it was for my flatmates birthday. We had outdoor seating which was perfect as the night was amazing and there were about 15 of us. We all started with drinks and decided to get food. Most of us got pizzas of various flavourings, I went for the brisket which was amazing, one of us went for the steak pie and my guy and I went for the haggis balls which were pretty tasty as well. For pub food, they really know what they're doing. I would definitely be back for their brisket which I'm pretty picky about. The overall feel of this pub is pretty awesome. Relaxed, friendly staff, loads of beers to choose from, even interesting ciders! It gets pretty packed on a Friday, but with outdoor seating, when weather permits, it's really a great place to be. read more

One star remains in reserve, on my Yelpese throwing star storage belt, because I think this place potentially has more on offer than I've so far had the pleasure of experiencing. In addition to this hedging of bets, almost the entirety of those four stars come from the beer selection. Remember when drinking ale meant a pint of John Smiths or at best, Best? Thank god the real ale movement has transmorphified itself into the craft beer phenomenon, and thank that same deity Glasgow's pubs have embraced it. Inn Deep boasts one of the best selections in the West End, with guest beers on tap, regular William's Bros. brews alongside them, and a healthy selection of bottles from local brewers and further afield. The ever-rotating guest beers are going to get me in the door, and the surprising reasonable prices will keep me there. Honestly, exceedingly reasonable. Ever paid £4.00 for a pint of European lager? Stop that, it's dumb, go to Inn Deep and get something interesting, exciting and delicious for less. Also on offer is food, however I haven't clocked a menu, nor sampled it. The pizzas which I saw wheeched out the kitchen did look great however. The Big Blue (peace be upon him) was a very regular eatery for me and mine, serving tasty grub at decent prices. I hope this has been maintained in Inn Deep. Many of the bar staff from the former establishment have been kept on in the latter, so fingers crossed the same can be said of the kitchen staff That's beer and food, whit aboot music? Well, on the occasions I've dropped in the music has been great, and at a decent volume. The exception to this was a Saturday when some dancey-dancey-doof-doof music was playing. Not quite suited to the quiet early evening pint I was hoping for, but the DJs whose names I recognised but since forgotten, are ones I've seen attached to some pretty big and trendy/hip club nights around Glasgow, and the prospect of a night club style experience in Inn Deep's surroundings (and beers) is not one I'm in any way against. The pub's split in four areas - ootside by the river, ootside under the archway, inside under the archway, and inside roon' the back. Under the archway inside affords a cave-like atmosphere which I always love/require my favourite pubs to have, and I only wish the outside areas could have had more use before Scotland's winter descended (which officially happened yesterday when I stuck a jumper on). I'm looking forward to seeing how DJ nights turn out, and am hopeful about live music in the future. Until then, this is my go to ale cave. read more

I feel kinda guilty doing this review as i have been drinking in this pub for quite some time now. So long in fact that my face is on the wall (prize of high five at the next yelp event if you find it) But then i realized that the only reason that i do frequent this pub so much over the years is on the grounds that its been a great pub from the start. Geographically its not my closest pub, there are 4 closer. So what makes me walk by those pubs and more importantly give me a longer walk back home after a few? Quite simple really. Good beer, good food and the ever important good staff. I would even go as far to say that the staff are great. I don't say this to try and score points with them as my opinion of them has been formed over the years. But lets break it down. The beer. Now I'm a cider drinker but every now and then i will try out one of there constantly rotating guest beers or something from their fantastic range of craft beers. also nine times out of ten one of the staff to hand will have tried the beer and can tell you about it to help you make an informed choice. The food. I wouldn't call their food pub grub as i think that is to do it a disservice. Highlights for me are the special burgers that change on an almost daily basis and for under £10 you get a great burger and chips and side salad which seems to be a rarity when you go to an actual "gourmet" burger join these days. And finally the staff. Inn deep is one of the few pubs where i feel quite comfy going in by myself for a quick pint and this is solely down to the staff. They are friendly, knowledgeable and I always get a bit of chat from them (this is usually how one pint ends up being 3). This is what turns a good pub into a great pub. a pub can have the best beer selection in the world but if the staff are crap i dont really want to give them any of my money. And that's why Inn deep makes my few extra minutes walk totally worth while. read more

I was never in the predecessor to this pub, The Big Blue, but I've heard Good Things about it. I'm a fan of the Williams Brothers beers and ethos, so was pretty excited when I heard they were opening a bar. I was also cautious, as I had got myself into a tizz about a certain doggy brewery doing the same just over a year ago, and I haven't really taken to that place, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Inn Deep. Still retaining all the fishy based décor of the previous inhabitants, they've not done much to change the look of the place, other than give it a bit of a paint and a dust. But hey, who cares what a pub looks like, eh? The important factor here is the beer. And boy is it good! From the lager-y Caesar Augustus and Joker IPA, through to the darker, heavier ales, there is something here for pretty much everyone. The selection of spirits is not great, yet, but I presume that will change over time. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, and it's a stumble away from Kelvinbridge underground station. Haven't tried the food yet, but have only been in twice, both times after eating locally, so will need to check out their menu. All in all a great wee pub, with nice views of the kelvin in the summer, and a pretty, fairly lit arch to sit in on summer evenings (if we ever see such things again...!) read more

Oh Yelp, it's been a while! I'll grace your sweet interface with a shiny, happy review of Inn Deep. This is a local I should utilise more, because it's ticking all my boxes. Laid back, cozy, promoting local ales, tasty nibbles - really tasty nibbles - yeah, it's great. I said to my friend that this was a good first date place since it's snug, the food is banging, the music is at the perfect level for holding a conversation (or pretending you can't hear them if they're a snoozefest) and the endless selection of beers is a talking point. The bar is like Joseph and the Technicolor Boozefest, with the stickers off literally hundreds of ales flickering back at you from behind the counter. I always enjoy a wee night in here, to the point that I find a spot, plant my flag and don't want to move. It's the best bar on this stretch of GWR. read more

Love Inn Deep! The former restaurant The Big Blue has been transformed into a destination venue for beer and burger fans in the west end by the guys at Williams Brothers brewery. Sporting a large range of their own and guest craft keg and cask beers, this place should satisfy both fans of American-style chilled craft beer, as well as more traditionalist cask aficionados. Oh and it's cheaper than Brewdog! On those dry days, and especially when sunshine breaks through the clouds In Deep's outdoor seating overlooking the Kelvin is the perfect spot to while away the hours with a few tasty glasses. Beneath road level and situated on the cycle/walkway from Botanics to Kelvingrove, you're uninterrupted by traffic and supplied with a steady flow of passers by for people-watching (seriously, just how many people in the west end own a Border Collie?) Inn Deep's food is amazing too. Priced at what seems like cost, they don't scrimp on quality. Large hand-stretched pizzas at a set price with any three toppings, and the most amazing burgers, with a pay-as-you-go approach to toppings are the highlights. My burger was textured and succulent, in a brioche bun with a overly-generous portion of pulled pork atop. Coupled with a mix of hand-cut potato and sweet potato chips, the meal was outstanding value - and at same price for mass-produced rubbish in chain pubs. My only gripe is the differing "vibe" of the place. Some nights there's sport on the screens, other nights club DJs, and at other times the bar staff choose the tunes. But that's not enough to warrant knocking a whole star from Inn Deep's 5* rating. read more

I love Inn Deep - been drinking Williams Bros beers for a long time and they have a great bar. The musics good, there's a good selection of both Williams Bros and other interesting beers. The food can be a bit one track - burgers, pizzas, barbecue - but is all very good. Sweet potato fries should be available everywhere. The location is lovely, particularly on a warm day with a good outside area overlooking the Kelvin and a sheltered arch for when it's a little cooler. read more

I like it here. The bar is literally indeep, as you traverse the subterrain of Glasgow via a cyclonic staircase. The barstaff are really helpful in recommeding beer which is a nice chage from the usual. The atmosphere would probably be better on a weekend as I've only been midweek. Its ran by the Williams Brother brewary and they know a good pint like I know christmas socks. The bar is a very casual affair and the prices are good. My pals from the anti 'ill just have a stella society' like it here too. So sling yerself in fur a bevy pronto! read more

I was in here again this Friday - and still cannot decide! I think it's got bags of potential, but as previously stated, it's such an awkward space, it's going to prove a big challenge making it work. The product on offer - Williams Brothers - is undoubtedly excellent, but the whole place seems a little confused - not sure what it's meant to be. I think, given a few months to bed-in and what not, this could become excellent. At the moment though, I'm rather indifferent. read more

When I first heard those Williams Brothers were opening up their very own pub in Glasgow I did a wee squeal with delight as I loooove their beers. I did not know however that it was in the exact place where Big Blue used to be. Now Big Blue was one of those places that wasn't fantastic but served a purpose and that purpose was mainly the outdoor seating area beside the river. Such a lovely place to sit on one of those (ultra) rare sunny days in Glasgow. It was so popular on sunny days that many-a-time I went and had to make do with either sitting on a manky wall or standing huddled amongst strangers along the riverside trying to drink my beer without it spilling all down my dress. Ooft. I didn't even know Big Blue had gone actually, but to be honest when I arrived at Inn Deep I wouldn't have even have thought Big Blue had gone - it hadn't really changed that much at all. I expected a completely different looking pub/bar but instead it was like Big Blue but with better beer and nicer staff. Myself and a friend were eating so we made our way to a booth to sit and perused the menus for ages before we realised it wasn't table service. Haha! Duh. So we both decided on a burger; my friend a veggie wan & myself a spicy chicken job. Seens as this was a Williams Brothers pub I just HAD to have a beer (or 3) so I opted for the 3 third of a pint taster thingy-ma-jig. Only trouble was my friend (who does not drink) went up to order the drinks and brought my selection to me but didn't know/wasn't told the names of the 3 beers I had! They were all very nice anyway & I could roughly guess what 2 of them were. After that I opted for a pint of the tasty Caesar Augustus. Hail Caesar indeed! Sluuurp. My burger was lovely indeed, the chips were nice but kinda a bit TOO chunky for my personal liking (more like wedges than a chip) but my friend ordered a plate of the sweet potato chips (she'd actually asked for them with her burger in place of regular chips but they got that wrong so instead brought out a plate of the sweet potato ones which was nice of them) also onion rings and both of them were very good. Unfortunately my friend did not like her veggie burger. She only managed to eat a wee bit of it but said it was too full of peppers for her taste so she left the rest and upon taking our plates away the waitress asked if everything was okay with our food, my friend said she wasn't too keen on her burger but reiterated it was probably just down to personal preference...however the waitress apologised profusely and when we came to pay our bill they had not charged us for it! How nice of them. Awfully decent. They then told us that all feedback is very useful for them as they're still working on their menu. Nice to hear that. I would definitely go back to Inn Deep if only for the lovely beer & choice of other great beers. Would also like to try their pizzas too as I have heard they're pretty good. One thing I will say kinda ruined the atmosphere/our evening was the LOUD music/DJ they had. It was fine when we arrived at 7pm but by about 9pm it was getting a bit daft/club loud. We actually had to shout to hear each other speak. Not great in a wee(ish) pub like this. I like that they're trying to bring real ales/proper beers to a younger audience - I respect that greatly being a fellow beerophile. I nearly gave this 3 stars but I really think with a few tweaks here & there this'll be a super wee pub, especially in the Summer time when no doubt we'll all be fighting each other for that PERFECT spot outside, by the river. read more

Popped in here for some birthday drinks last week! Not much to report other than great range of beers and ales, and at really decent prices too considering this is slap-bang in the middle of the west end.

caravanned over by uber - the whole work crew. we shuffled down into the cavernous pub. the tunnel feeling, the funky lighting, the quick bartenders, it all works. loud, packed, scottish accents everywhere [which was my favorite part] and music. you have to give props to the music that i couldn't exactly identify. a proper pub experience with my favorite people, in my favorite city outside of san francisco. cheers! read more

OK, I admit it, I'm a fan! Inn Deep is like the Big Blue died, went to hell (let's face it, it did a bit towards the end...), did some sort of deal with the Devil and came back younger, hotter and with more pals! They still do food (yay!) and have kept some of the awesome nosh that was previously available - arrabiata and pizza sticks (sweet or savoury) being amongst the favourites I'm glad I didn't have to say goodbye to... They've even added a much-needed telly in the back, so you can still see the fitba even if you're not propping up the bar! I still haven't seen any live music, but it's very possible that I've been in on the wrong nights. Everything positive that I said in my first review still stands, and I have to admit I'm in here at least once a week these days (but don't let that put you off...). Also, they have board games and a really cool fish tank. If there was just one teeny, tiny thing that could improve the place, I'd want it to be a bit warmer - if you're sitting in the main bar, especially the end nearest the door, it can get really, really baltic! At the moment it feels like we live in the city of eternal winter anyway, but I guess the cool (temperature-wise) ambience will be a bonus if summer ever comes around again... I'm sure you all know how good this place is by now, just thought it deserved a wee nod after my previously cautious review. Another lovely local that takes a wee bit of the sting out of paying West End rent! read more

Update time! Ok, gone is empty feel to the place, gone is the old vibe from the predecessor pub 'Big Blue' and in come some really nice touches such as funky murals, artwork, beer mats on the wall and just a proper pub feel to the place now. Of special note is the wonderful selection of beers and the fantastic food, especially the pizza, and for just £6 with three toppings, its an absolute winner every time! Crowd can still be a bit lary though. read more

Simple question. Do you like beer? Of course you do, why would you be looking at a review of a pub if you didn't? So, let's assume that you do like beer. You are going to love this place. It has a large...no, huge...mm, ginormous selection of great quality draughts, bottles and kegs. Not sure what you want? Ask the staff for recommendations. Still unsure? Try a sampler platter of 3. It isn't your typical ale pub. No, this is bringing good quality beers to a younger crowd, but not in the brash way that a certain dog has been doing. It's just as fun but without the arrogance, and I found the pub much more friendly and inviting than the dog. It's going to be a great stop when walking through the park of a summer, and with Kelvinbridge underground just a stones throw away, there would be very little reason not to stay for one...a few...a lot more. I know the place is specialising in craft beer, but the much coveted Wigglonian 5th star will be awarded when there is at least one interesting rum/whisky behind the bar to complement the awesome beer. read more

I remember the big blue... but boy were they doing it wrong! Inn Deep has just gone and done it the right way. Great craft beers with even better food. I have been here twice recently, how did I miss it before? I would say it's the best dog friendly bar in town. Love the outside area and it looks like they are expanding. Which they need as it seems to be very popular! Excited to see what is in the future for Inn Deep. Only thing letting the place down is Mr Grouch, a manager standing behind the bar on his laptop or phone. Good luck getting a smile let alone a drink from him. read more

I have had some of the most random and fun nights here and will always go back for drinks or food. The food is quite tasty and reasonably priced for the west end. The highlight in my opinion is that you can get a mix of normal and sweet potato chips. And honestly, they are the best sweet potato chips I have had in the city. The beer batter onion rings are also worth it! They serve predominantly Williams Brothers and are always changing their draft beers and always have specials. I personally love a Caesar Augustus! The best thing about Inn Deep is its location! On Great Western Road, next the Kelvinbridge subway station and right by the Kelvin. The outside area is a great place to enjoy a few drinks with friends. Definitely worth a visit on a warm day or night! read more

If you're meeting up with a fellow beer lover one drizzly saturday before a gig where do you go? Inn Deep obviously! I've only been in here a few times, I keep getting it confused with Munros down the road (I have zero sense of direction) but I think Inn Deep outranks Munros, certainly at least on beer selection. I can't really comment on the food as we didn't have any! On the to do list for next time I'm in that neck of the woods though! We slid into a wee booth with our lovely pints of Caeser Augustus (I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of that stuff! Yum!) and proceeded to gossip the next hour or so into nothingness..my only complaint during this time was that we were fairly near the doors to the smoking area and I was catching distinctly smokey wafts, but that's noted for next time and I'd probably just make sure I was that wee bit further back from the doors! Caeser Augustus polished off, we decided to have a cheeky half pint before heading on elsewhere, the pal went for a Highland Muckle something or other, I asked the barman for a cheeky wee taster and it was pretty nice, but I'd spotted the Joker on tap and I hadn't had that in a while so went for that instead! All in, I was really impressed with Inn Deep. It has a really chilled out vibe, even when it gets that bit busier and the bar staff are great and seem to know their stuff pretty well. The bottle selection is also pretty sweet, be checking that out next time too! ;) read more

Why is it that there is not 0.5 star grading on Yelp...can't we sort that out? :) Anyway, I always liked this place geographically. I like where it is, the 'urban' or 'gritty' interior (fair descriptions?), the outdoor space and in it's former life Big Blue was alright if you fancied a plate of mediocre pasta. Went for a quick post cinema burger, but opted for a pizza instead...why is that? The regular pizza was ok, a little soft and just not as good as other places for me (Munros, Black Rabbit...even Bier Halle). The Calzone was allegedly very good - didn't taste it, and wouldn't really know a good calzone if Mr Calzone himself made it fresh for me. I really wish I had tasted the burger in order that I could make a comparison on this front, there are just SO many places about just now it's tough to justify a return visit for any offering which is just ok. Lost a LOT of time for this place when the dessert came out (gutted they were out of sticky toffee pudding), the sweet dough sticks were just awful. I had flashbacks to Paperinos awesome Pizza sticks back in the day - before it was overpriced and below average buts that's a rant for another day - but these things were just crispy/burnt, greasy and frankly horrendous. Made for a sharp exit. So yeah, I probably would go back to try something else, but not in any massive hurry and NOT for dessert... read more

So this place used to be one of my faves back when it Big Blu but now it just seems to lack something!! It's has a good range of beers is you are looking for a little different however you might end up overdosing on Williams Bros! Outside is nice set up on the cycle path dressed with fairy light so if you can't get a seat inside. I have tried their food! Ok for pub grub and if your drunk enough you will eat anything...eh? Staff seem friendly ready to help you find something to your taste. read more

Our first Glaswegian pub visit was to the quirky, riverside Inn Deep on a sunny Thursday afternoon. Located under the arches of Kelvinbridge and overlooking the river, it was already pretty busy with drinkers taking all of the seats on the terrace outside. Thankfully there was room around one of the tables in the empty arch next to the entrance, which made for a decent people-watching spot. It's dog-friendly here too, so bring your canine companions down (as long as they get on with other dogs and drinkers wanting to stroke them!). They have a good selection of beers, with several from Williams Bros. Brewing (who own the place) so it was great to be able to try some local ones right off the bat. It was a fine choice for a brief pit stop whilst we familiarised ourselves with the area. read more

Semi-good pub for chilling out and relaxing, especially in the summer as there's loads of outside seating and you can watch the Kelvin flow by and have a nice cold beer or two. It can get extremely busy on a nice day though, so get there early if you want to stand any chance of a seat and don't bother ordering food if they're busy, it can take an ice age! I've been in a few times when the place is absolutely overrun with people watching sportsball and being generally twattish; on one occasion I actually left as it took about 20 mins for me to fail to be served! I actually prefer Inn Deep during the winter when it's quiet and it is cosy inside, the food is pretty good and it's a fairly nice spot for a Sunday lunch and a couple of pints. Nice beer selection and good cider too which is handy if you've got non-beer-drinking mates. However, the staff could be a bit friendlier and the place is very cliquey - sometimes I get the feeling I'm kinda interrupting the staff hanging out with their mates - but they are quite knowledgeable. Music is very hit and miss, with loads of trendy nonsense sometimes and not enough rock and roll, but there are other bars for that I suppose. In all, it's a decent place to grab a pint if you're in that neck of the woods. read more

[updated to reflect the very high prices for beer - this has knocked a star off too] This place is pure mad amazebaws man. CRAFT KEG and CRAFT CASK (Real Ale) available at expensive prices, in a place with great food, people, and outside seating area and sports live on TV too. IMPOSSIBRU!!! A must visit place, especially for anyone on a GWR beer-crawl or when you're with your four legged friends as this place is extremely dog friendly. read more

A Williams brothers bar you say.. Well don't mind if I do! If you've charted the rather meteoric rise of Williams Bros you'll know they own this wee place along with Valhalla's Goat. I'd been in a couple of times for a beer, but never really thought too much about the bar. They have 5 Williams Bros beers (+1 cider) permanently on tap + a rotating number of other Williams Bros/guest beers, meaning you'll never fail for a good beer. The riverside location is a real coup for the bar, with the beer cave offering respite from the unpredictability of the Glasgow weather. It's wildly popular during the summer months, with outdoor space at a premium from the afternoons onwards. I stopped in for some food on my way to a gig and was really impressed (and full). I ordered the Halloumi burger (what else) with mixed fries. The kitchen use an old car horn to signal when an order's ready, given its use in old Hollywood films, I was waiting for someone to slip on a banana peel or for a swinging door to knock someone down.. I was really impressed with the hand cut 'slaw, it was chunky & had a real bite to it so you can tell it's fresh. The huge slab of halloumi was topped with roasted pepper slices (which I love), I added Jalapeños for an extra 75p & together with the slaw was aaaamazing! I'm putting it on my top 3 veggie burgers, before we even get to the chips! I was so glad to have chosen mixture of sweet potato & regular fries because they were both cooked to perfection! Sweet potato fries are often over oiled & fried till they're too crispy, so they lose their sweetness, not these bad boys! The regular potato fries were cooked really well & the rosemary salt contrasted the other fries really well. They also have English hot mustard instead of the ubiquitous american yellow mustard (win!). Whatever magic the Williams Bros bring to their beer, it's obviously been passed onto the kitchen, which means I'm inn deep trouble cause I loooove this place! read more

Inn Deep - Halloumi burger with mixed order of regular and sweet potato fries and hand-cut coleslaw - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Stopped in last night (17/7) for a pint before heading to a whisky tasting evening at Kiltr. Great setting by the river and even better in the glorious Glasgow sun (I'm convinced the sun shines nicer on Great Western Road!). The bar is well stocked with various beers, evidenced by the many labels proudly affixed to the wall. The staff are friendly and the vibe is definitely Camden-esque; a mix of hipster and local punters. I was only in for drinks so judging solely on the alchol but from overhearing other folks ordering I think I'll be back in for a bite to eat soon enough. read more

This is a smashing wee bar, selling a good range of craft beer, and with an ace view of the river. I had a pint of German wheat beer - Maisel Weisse I think it was called - something along those lines anyway. It was very palatable indeed. Today I also had chips as I was hungry from the mental exhaustion brought on by our arm-knitting crafternoon. They were very good chips - thick and chunky, and fluffy on the inside. We were sitting beside the door, but it was still nice and cosy, and there's a good atmosphere in here. It's a great place to stop for a drink if you're doing a walk along the Kelvin walkway. In summer, their outside beer cave is very popular with the hipster contingent. I'm probably one of them given I just arm-knitted a scarf :-) read more

I've never been here for food (but heard good things), but Inn Deep is one of the best places to drink in the area, especially if you love all things beer. Situated right next to the River Kelvin, making it a great spot to go to on a sunny day, it's a small indoor bar with a nice outdoor area which has heating in it during the colder months, so can be sat in almost all year round. There's a great selection of beers on offer, which is ever changing. The common beer sold is usually brewed by Williams Bros. who make some nice beers, including a gooseberry one (reccomended if you find it!). It's often very busy, especially at weekends, so can be a bit tough to find a seat in at times. The outdoor area is a bonus though, and is in a sort of cave like structure so you're protected against the elements. I often see people here with their dogs, and there's bowls of water out for them too. read more

Good beer, good food, good location, will be excellent in the summer
