I love a good theme restaurant but I always have low expectation for the food. I figure people go for the fun of it but that's not the case at Lebowskis. The burger was really good and the White Russians were delicious. The dude is a classic but the Walter is the one I'll go back for.

Well people i've just finished writing my will. I have requested that my ashes be carried in a instant coffee container to this establishment and scattered over the bar, hopefully with some of it finding its way onto someones beard........... Don't get the reference? Well then stop reading this review, get your hands on a copy of The Big Lebowski and watch it you fool or i will be forced to cut of your johnson.......Finished? good, we shall begin. Ok so this place borrows on the cult status of the dude and has little more in common with the dude than some cool artwork, dude themed menu and dude like music (Dylan la,la,la,la...man in me)...well folks its sure as shit of a shovel good enough for me. Now before i continue its important you understand just how hard it is for me not to pepper this review with quotes from his dudeness, El duderino.......oh crap too late. Now,apart from the hee hee its the dude factor its worth pointing out the other plus points of this joint. A kick ass menu with fresh Scottish produce of the highest quality means a mouth watering option of grub., i plumped for the tomato soup served to me in what can only be discribed as a basin sized bowl (truckin huge i tells thee) with a couple of wedges of bread....yurm. Add to this some comfy seating, free wifi and really friendly staff and you have yourself another reason to drink, eat and computerificate in this neck of the woods. Lebowski's i salute thee and would never piss on your rug (honestly guys watch the film!)

My boyfriend and his friends can actually hold entire conversations by just reeling off film quotes to each other. TV series' have started to get a look in too- Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development being the most recent favourites. Last year I actually quoted an entire scene from Curbed without ever having actually watched it just on the basis of the their quotey indoctrination. There are two films which I blame for having started this trend amongst them- 1) Anchorman- 'I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly... ' 'That's the smell of desire my lady' 'You are a smelly pirate hooker' 'Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.' 'I love lamp' 2) The Big Lebowski 'We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude' 'That rug really tied the room together' 'Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.' 'Nihilists! Jesus. Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. ' I could go on far, far longer.... Knowing what you now know about my boyfriend you can appreciate how jealous he was when I told him I was visiting a bar in Glasgow named 'Lebowskis'. This place acts as a bit of a shrine to the film, not in a tacky themed decor style but within the bar menu which will definitely strike a cord with any fans of the film. Over 40 different White Russian variations are offered from around the world with unique spicings, vodka's and mixers. Very tasty, very cool! The barman here was lovely and keen to point out that there was a comfy sofa towards the back of the bar if we wanted to grab it before things got busy. His 'Glasgow-banter' style was very welcoming and relaxed- think 'The Dude' meets Robert Carylisle and you're just about there. It's this kind of service that makes a bar worth returning to and I know I'll come back to Lebowski's. The Dude abides!

Good times with William Bros

This is a great pub in a good location. Lebowkis has been about for years and pubs around it seem to come and go but it has always stayed safe and a favourite of many. Hands up. They let dogs in as well (I will add it to my Glaswegian mutt pub list) so I give it extra points right up front, but there is much more to like about it than that. Service is always very quick and the beer selection is decent with lots of variety and usually several William Bros options. If the sun is out there is space outside to sit and enjoy a bit of the rare good weather we get in Glasgow. Last time I ate here was on an itison deal and I had a burger and chips which was excellent and obviously great value for money as we were basically getting two for one pricing. Good Glasgow pub, well worth 4 stars.

Lebowskis is a great pub in Finnieston. Here it's all about the burgers and the White Russians. Did you think there was just one recipe for that particular cocktail? Think again - Lebowskis has managed to come up with 26 varieties. Obviously, with such range there is the side effect of having a very well stocked bar, with rum fans being served especially well. If cocktails and rum aren't yout thing, fear not, there's plenty more to chose from and they usually have at least a couple of real ales on draft too. The food is pretty decent - obviously Glasgow has more burger places than you can shake a stick at but they do a few other things too and their desert menu is always especially tempting. They also get bonus points because their kitchen generally stays open until 10pm, which can be really handy when you want a late bite to eat but don't really want to resort to a full on restaurant or to fast food. The pub quiz is on Wednesdays, is free to enter and is a lot of fun. They also run a couple of live music nights. It's easy to see why this place is so popular. Consider booking ahead if you're visiting with a group and would like to sit down to eat - it can sometimes be hard to get a table.

Lebowskis is a tribute to probably the most quoted film of all time. I see previous reviewers have found it impossible to resist littering their reviews with words of wisdom from The Dude so I will try very hard not to follow this pattern. Following my first visit a few days ago, I am pleased to confirm this bar is not all style and no substance. The vegetarian burger I ordered, which was loaded with peppers, aubergines and goat's cheese, was delicious. The decor was stylish. And clearly a lot of people in Glasgow agreed with me, as the place was absolutely mobbed. With something on every night of the week including a dj, live music and a pub quiz, I will most definitely be back. Hey look, I managed it!

Mac and cheese is always welcome to the party!

Friday night at 7pm in Lebowski's is absolutely jumping, even with the smallest of gigs on at the Hydro. With that in mind there was still a lot of confusion when we showed up for our booked table. First off the people in our booth refused to move and this was just accepted by the staff. This resulted in us not actually being sat down for 15 minutes and standing by the door while people shuffled past is constantly. Not a great start. When we were sat down I was so hungry that everything on the menu looked appealing but I opted for the chilli cheese dog with a side of mac and cheese. The food was... nice. The sausage itself was great, lightly smoked and full of flavour. The chilli had no heat and the cheese was totally overpowered by the other flavours. The bun was lovely but it fell apart almost immediately so I had to CUT UP my hotdogs... Into chunks... With a knife and fork. Sacrilege. The mac and cheese was creamy, quite mild, but well cooked. It was a good side but nothing to rave about. I wanted to love Lebowski's. But I just liked it. The food was good but it isn't somewhere I'll be rushing back to for food. Especially when there's something on at the Hydro.

Lebowskis is of course named after the film starring "the dude" probably the most influential man in the world who wears a dressing gown after Jesus. However, this pub isn't a cheesy tribute act. References in the film are dotted around in the menu and the wifi code but that's it. Instead, the pub has a Glaswegian influence; its logo is three of the Titan cranes you see along the Clyde in Finnieston and Clydebank. Based in the West End bit of Argyle Street, Lebowskis is the coolest addition to the most up and coming nightlife area in Glasgow. The food is solid, the music is spot on and the decor is stylish. But you'll be lucky to grab a seat as word has spread and the place is always mobbed.

Savanna L.

This themed pub is superbly done, down to the "Dude" inspired White Russians. There was live music and just a good vibe all around. The drinks were reasonably priced for cocktails and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of our White Russians.

There's a few reasons for that, and while I'm sure there's just something to the atmosphere that's impossible to quantify, these are the things that I think give it at least part of its charm. 1. The whisky. They have a huge selection and they're easily the best place to come for whisky in Finnieston, although most of the bars around here have a few bottles on offer. They staff are very knowledgeable about it, without being snobbish or pushy, and at quieter times are happy to make recommendations and to chat to you about their favourites. 2. It's small. Not in a cramped way but in a cosy way. You can sometimes struggle for a table but it's the kind of place where you feel OK about sharing tables with strangers. The regulars are friendly and are happy for you to pull up a chair 3. When there's music it's fiddles, usually being played by those friendly regulars. I saw an accordion there once but usually it's fiddles being played and being played well - they tend to get involved with the Celtic Connections music festival. 4. It's dog friendly. There's usually one or two dogs running around and the staff are happy to provide a bowl of water for them. So there you have it. Finnieston might be getting awfully fashionable but if that's not your scene it still has one of the least hipster-ish, most traditional whisky pubs in Glasgow and it's a pub that's well worth checking out.

Small pub, massive whisky selection -- and I mean massive. We're talking over 1,000 whiskies on the…read moreshelves, plus a solid lineup of beers on tap. It's cozy, crowded, and buzzing with life -- often standing room only and packed shoulder-to-shoulder with locals and travelers alike. If you're a whisky fan (or even just whisky-curious), do yourself a favor and try one of their Scotland whisky flights. It's like taking a mini tour of the country's whisky regions without ever leaving your barstool -- and without worrying about driving. The bartenders really know their stuff and are happy to guide you toward something you'll love. A quick heads-up: no football colors allowed, which keeps the atmosphere friendly and relaxed no matter who you support. And speaking of friendly -- the locals here are as welcoming as they come. This is exactly the kind of place where Scotland's famous pub culture shines. Prices are surprisingly reasonable too, so you can sample a few drams without feeling guilty. Whether you're a seasoned whisky nerd or just looking to experience the local vibe, this is the spot. Pull up a stool (if you can find one) and enjoy a proper Scottish night out

This may prompt you to feel like ordering a drink. You are in good hands and they can totally recommend something that you may like. Their selection is so huge they don't have a menu, you just have to ask for your label or take their recommendations. Naturally, most of the selection is Scottish whiskey, but if you somehow prefer otherwise, (say you are a local tired of Scotch... or just want to reaffirm nothing beats a Scotch?) they do offer whiskey from other countries, as well as beer and ciders, as well as gin, rum and the like. They do offer pies and other bar food, but we went after dinner and just couldn't stomach more food, tempting as they may sound.

Good location to stop on your way back from Kelvingrove's Art Gallery and Museum. We walked from the museum to the pub without any problems. It's nice on the inside. There are some tables and the bar is at the center with a nice display of alcohol both on tap and on the walls. Beer: there was large selection of beer and liquor to choose from. I was looking for a good stout and the bartender, Andrew gave me some really good recommendations. I settled on the Overtone Milk that he recommended and it did not disappoint. It was smooth, full bodied, and flavorful. Nice chocolate flavor with a hint of smokiness to it. My husband got the Drygate IPA and it was crisp and hoppy. Service: I always look for good conversation, attentiveness, kindness, and whether or not the server and or bartender was knowledgeable about what they're serving. Our bartender Andrew was all of the above. He was so welcoming, and my husband and I enjoyed the great conversation With him. He knew a lot about the selection of beers and whiskey, where it came from, and who it came from, so that was wonderful! Thank you Andrew for a great experience. We hope we can stop by again while we're still in Glasgow.
