Good breakfast & environment! Wouldn't say there was anything special about the food but it did the job. I ordered the small veggie breakfast & it was nice. My boyfriend ordered two egg + bacon bap. They were big! Staff was very friendly. I wouldn't ask to come back to Lauder's but I also wouldn't refuse. Just an OKAY-type of place. ‍ read more

My first experience with pub food. We came here with the Pet's sister. It's not far from her conservatory where she attends classes. We took a table, and since I'm used to US service, I didn't realise we were supposed to order at the bar.. When we just kept sitting there, the waitress finally came over and explained, but she said since she wasn't busy she'd take our order. Very nice of her. We ordered - Gammon (Pork) steaks, Steak and Guiness pie and fish and chips. Everything came out at once, except my steak and guiness pie, and everything was served with frozen green peas. *scratches head* but the truth is, the serving sizes were huge, the prices were average and the taste was good. It was odd to me, that you don't HAVE to tip, you only tip for exceptional service. in this case, I did tip because she took the order. read more

Lauders is a pub on Sauchiehall Street near the Cineworld cinema, that I go to occasionally before going to the movies as an alternative to Walkabout. The fish and chips is really good, with other good pub grub such as steak pie. It is a bit cramped, but the waiting staff are always friendly and (as pedantic as this is) have good condiments. There are some decent quiz machines with news or sports on the TV's and a constant background chatter from older couples or single men at the bar which can be off putting when you are trying to have a conversation with your meal. If it is busy and you cant get a seat up the back, I would not recommend it. Otherwise, it is well worth a look with a decent menu. The Sauchiehaugh on Sauchiehall Street offers the same menu at the same prices and it is a far bigger and tidier establishment. read more

Lauders - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I came here because I was still hungry after last place I went too. My views on here. I use to come here all the time years ago, as it was the hangout pub for all the Glasgow Thistle hotels staff. This was the first time I've had a drink with food here as far as I can remember. Tinned processed peas and and frozen chips from either the 3663 or Brakes suppliers. Fish probably from Ross Osborne. The frozen chips and tinned peas I could live with. But the fish tasted like a bland water, with very little flavour, and very wet. A sign the fish has been frozen or defrosted in cold running water. When you freeze fish, you lose the fish flavour and replace it with a bland water wetness. If it wasn't for all the sauce, I might have been sick. I'm so peed off, as I wanted this place to be good as I had fond memories of drinking here with people from the old hotel I worked. I still think the drinks are good and cheap, and very chilled. Sorry about the one star, but I hope that can help you put things right. And please use frozen peas as the tinned processed peas have lost all their lovely green vibrant colour. And a better batter recipe from me. Soda water Plain flour Baking powder Or S/R flour instead of the plain and baking powder. Egg yolk Vinegar Lemon juice Cornflour Salt Turmeric I hope this helps you. read more

Well there things this place needs: 1. Some new lights to replace darkness 2. New furniture to bring it up to date 3. A damn good clean and a facelift. Also they used to do curry sauce but no longer. Portions have decreased while prices increase and the breakfast not as nice ( who deep fries potato scones ). There are worse places out there and this is ok in an emergency but only a emergency read more

Walking past Laurders you would be mistaken for it to look like a run down jd weatherspoon but that would be an insult to them. The bar are needs a good scrub with hot soapy water and the tables too. I could see food debris on the floor and tables where not wiped, l had to take the glasses that where on the table to the counter as the the bartender was busy just floating about chatting to some older guys at the end of the bar. l could smell urine i'm not sure if it where from the toilets or a customer, but it was bad that we would not eat due to the smell. This is more of an old mans pub and i'm not a fan of this place doubt that l would be back soon. read more

Meh. Lauder's is okay. It's your typical, kind of grungy, outdated decor pub. The prices are decent, especially for the City Centre of Glasgow. I stopped by with a group of friends after watching the Bonfire Night fireworks at Glasgow Green. The place wasn't busy at all, so no problem to get a pint. Unfortunately there were some (overly) intoxicated men sat near us, which was slightly uncomfortable. Especially when they started speaking to us and we didn't have a clue what they were saying. But I guess that's part of pub life! And not really the fault of the staff. read more

My partner introduced this place to me and I have to say it's not that great for food. Their breakfasts are OK and cheap but anything we've had for dinner has been below par and tastes like re-heated microwave food or something bought from Iceland and dumped in the deep fat fryer! On one of their special club meal evenings he ordered a 20oz steak and when it turned up it was a few small pieces of burnt to a crisp "rubber". We also had a gammon with egg meal another time and instead of a gammon steak they served 3 slices of cooked ham from a packet! I'd say avoid it for anything other than their cheap morning breakfast, which is a fairly good deal for the price. The prices for the main meals are far too high for what you get, there's plenty of other places nearby offering much better quality and value. read more

Despite myself, I sort of almost maybe love this bar a little bit. It was an accident, I swear! I've always felt quite comfortable in Lauders in spite of its dingy décor and worn-out furniture. It's sort of like a cosy, moth-eaten pair of PJs that you won't stop wearing. On the surface, Lauders might share many qualities with The Goose, but they are so far removed from it at the same time. There's never any trouble in this place. Is it cheap? For this part of town, yes it is! Is the music good? That's all down to the people, since it's a jukebox - my friends and I like to hijack it for long periods of time. Are the staff friendly? They are certainly all about the banter! Are the patrons hospitable? For the most part, yes! There's a good mix of people in this place, not really belonging to any one particular age group or social group per se. On the weekends, many of the punters go there because they are looking for a cheap place to drink before a night out; others you might see having a few drinks before or after a jaunt at the cinema to making an evening of it. I've been guilty of both! It's kind to the pennies when I want to go out but am nearing the end of the month, and it's convenient for getting food and an aperitif in between films when on one of my movie marathons. The handy-dandy taxi rank right beside the pub also makes it convenient for those being rolled out the door legless. As far as bars go, this is a pleasant place that does the business. It doesn't particularly excel in any area, but it's always nice to visit. read more

From the front, Lauder's doesn't look very big, but it extends up the back to accomodate a large amount of people. Traditional kind of old-man styled, but it attracts the whole cross-section of punters. From young neds on their first legal pints, to seasoned grizzled old men, everyone has been here at least once. I wasn't such a big fan - the booth we sat in was a bit boggin and there was a bottomless hole in the booth seat - I was a bit scared in case I fell in and ended up in a wormhole. read more

Lauders - Taken by Liz - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Yea--it's like an American Applebee's meets a bad sports bar. It stinks like pee and cigarettes and is definitely a local spot often hit up by the 50+ crowd but, you know what? The people are nice, there is plenty of beer and a great staff. No, I would not really come here again when I can hit something less gross and closer to campus but it was pissing rain, we were cold and hungry (I have had better onion rings from a bag). We got our pints, whiskey and had a break (of course, using the free wifi). This place was pretty dirty, too. Not going to lie. But for what it is, it's alright. read more

I have ended up in Lauders usually as a last resort when I've been looking for a pub lunch and found the Counting House or The Ark have got no spare seats. The food is good I must say, especially the steak pie and the ciabattas. It is quite a large and comfortable pub, with music videos or Sky Sports news on the telly to give it a bit of welcome background noise. I have found the clientele to be very mixed - old men at the bar, families, the odd student, though it does attract a few neds unfortunately. Unfortunately too many of the tables are too close together and it can be difficult to squeeze past someone to get in. It is also annoying if you end up with quite a few very loud folk right next to you shouting in your ear all evening. A word of warning - the mens' toilets are titled "Laddies" on the door, while the ladies' are "Lassies". They are easily confused, especially if you're drunk. I haven't quite gone in to the wrong one yet, thank god, though I once came very close. So watch out! read more

Now i must admit that I've only ever been in this joint on one occasion, that was when my dear old maw was in town. Now she believed that the promise of a jazz band on a Sunday afternoon was just too good to be true and must mean that this had to be one classy joint, much to my opinion to the contrary. Long story short, i was right she was wrong. This is an old Glasgow pub filled with folk aiming for a bevvy from the start of the day till the end of the night. Now it ain't as rough as I've heard folks say it is, or at least it wasn't when i was there, however i does indeed have a certain edge about it...like your just waiting for some guy to ask you if your "looking at ma burd" even if he's sitting on his lonesome. Cheap booze and cheaper food is the draw here, nothing more and nothing less. Do not be fooled by its city centre location, this bar is as metropolitan and symbolic of the city of Glasgow as a burberry cap wearing bottle of irn bru....in the past man. read more

Lauders is like a local Weatherspoons but not quite as low as a Yates. I had some friends staying with me and we needed somewhere to have some food before they got their bus home from Buchanan Bus Station. Our hung-over brains and bellies were lured in by the bright signs of cheap and tasty food and we found ourselves huddled around a table while the football blurred in the background. The bar is quite big inside and has the classic Glasgow lounge feel that some people can't get enough of. If you like that kind of drinking establishment then this might be your bag but it is not for me. We ordered our food and some drinks and as we waited I was struck buy how characterless the inside was. When the food arrived it was far from tasty, indeed it was yet another example of how pubs sell cheap and nasty food to make up for lost smoking revenue. Tut Tut. read more

not a big fan of this pub. Its pretty grotty and lacks atmosphere.

Nice place and kitchen remains open till 10pm unlike many other places. Food good also especially the chickenyummy

One thing that can be said for Lauders is that the toilets are not particularly well marked - in the couple of times I've been in there the bigger steamers have mistakenly entered the wrong lavatory. Maybe it was intentional! The punters here like their drink but I wouldn't exactly class it as 'rough'. There are a few characters hanging around and I wouldn't spend a night there, mind you. read more

Well said,LynnieB of Paisley.I've been popping into Lauders for over 20 years and it's hardly changed in all that time.Even back in the eighties it was grotty and lacked atmosphere.I don't understand why folk rave about it. read more

Been to this pub many a time with workmates as we work just round the corner. Good food with usually quick service, good meal deals including a burger and a pint for a fiver. Good priced pints and pretty good atmosphere and friendly staff. Worth a visit. read more

This has to be the worst bar ever in Glasgow. Rude bar staff. Do no go here. Go to the Maltman.

Went into Lauders after the pictures for the first time in years. Found it a bit worse for wear and the barmaid was a bit surly but we could live with that. What we found outrageous was that they did not call time and we assumed it must be open till 1am as they were still serving. My husband went up bought 2 spirits and a bottle of beer at 11.55am and less than 5 minutes later the bouncer was up telling us in no uncertain manner to drink up and leave. We had hardly touched our drinks and left feeling ripped off. Wonj't be back and won't be recommending this pub to anyone. read more
