Haggis and Chilli pizza & gourmet burger and fries!
Austen M.

Nice Idea - but needs the food to match... I went to Munro's on Monday, drawn in initially not by the food but the Craft Beers on offer. It was a Monday afternoon so the place was quite empty and we got our pick of the seats on offer. Firstly the place looks good, it has been done up well and really ties in with the "Scottish-Munro" theme as there is plenty of photos and artwork about. Beer wise it was great - they have loads of options on the main menu and then another menu printed on the back of an envelope (looked cool and cheap to produce I imagine) with a whole selection of guest ones. I tried three options whilst I was there. Adnams Innovation - Good beer spicy and easy to drink - not as good as the Spindrift from the same Brewers, but still nice. High Wire from Magic Rock Brewery was indeed "Magic" a fruity pale ale which I would have again. Sadly the name of the third option has slipped my mind if I am being honest - it was the poorest of the bunch anyways, so no big loss on that front. (Well unless you go for it and I could have warned you against it..) Food wise we went with our favourite of the share the meals option again, so I had 1/2 a haggis and chilli pizza and 1/2 a gourmet burger and fries. The Pizza was good - Thin based with plenty of haggis and loads of Jalapenos. (Maybe to many of the latter, but that's a matter of personal taste and I am sure local fire eaters and dragons would disagree) The Fries were standard, nothing special and nothing bad about them. Chuck a bit of Mayo on top and I was happy. The Gourmet Burger was poor in my opinion. Now it was going to be a challenge as I has been in "Burger Meats Bun" the day before and had fresh in my mind what a burger should be. This just did not match up, over cooked, bland, unseasoned, lacking sauce and a dreary roll. Not sure what aspect of it was "gourmet", this just seemed like a standard frozen burger option that you would get out a low spec pub. A burger that would be embarrassed to be called a burger. In sum - on the big Craft beer selection they have available I would go back to try some more, but I would probably stick to the "beer bite buckets" options (wasabi peas, olives, stuffed jalapenos, etc) rather than try and have a proper lunch. If they plan to try and sell themselves on the basis of good food as well as great beers - they need to throw a bit more imagination/passion into what they are offering.

late night veggie pizza

Took the impoverished offspring to Munros for a big feed recently. Neither she nor her older sibling have recovered from the shock of losing the beloved Captain's Rest and the idea of stepping over the new threshold met with some resistance. It looked pretty spiffy and fresh from the outside, was just around the corner from where I had parked, and they had some great beers and a 2 for 1 pizza deal - so lets just say I got all assertive. There was nothing to fear. Two of us had the pizza's which were pretty darned good, with thin crispy bases just as I like them. Daughter had the freshly beer battered fish and chips, and a decent sample of my pizza and declared them excellent. I thought the desserts were on the expensive side and didn't really have room for one, but the waiter brought an extra spoon for me to pinch a taste from someone elses plate. He really knows how to impress a girl! All in all a very good visit to Munros. I would go again in a heartbeat, especially if I wanted somewhere to blether and chill out with a drink long after the food has been finished.

Now I never knew Munro's in it's previous guise as the Captain's rest , so my visit to this fine establishment is a completely new experience for me. What drew me here? The nice clean looking exterior and the promise of craft beer. I've been pleased to see Glasgow taking a hold of the craft beer revolution and running with it, and with the promise of some of the big boys like Magic Rock on tap you need say no more! Also interestingly, these guys are part of the same family as 3 judges which can be no bad thing in my book! Inside there is a range of seating options, intimate little sofas and nice tables by the big windows, take yer pick! Nice simple menu, we opted for the pizzas and weren't disappointed. Hand stretched pizzas with thin crispy bases, the meatball one hit the spot bang on. Attentive staff made our lunch trip pleasant, my apologise to the waitress for us being so vague with everything! Plus one for the tweed sofas (I can't help it!) and with a rotating craft beer selection I will certainly be back here. Hooray for craft beer and pubs that want to serve it in style!

Cheese and bacon burger
Vicky A.

I don't live too far from here and it's very handy for an after work drink or a Saturday pre-drinks burger/pizza. The staff has always been very friendly and they offer table service, which is very handy if you're in for the long haul. They offer a tasting bat of craft beers, which is great if you can't decide. If you're on a budget their house beer Munro's is £2.50 a pint and quite drinkable. Their food is quite tasty and their menu includes the usual array of burgers and pizzas. We were quite keen to sample their venison burger at the weekend but unfortunately they had already ran out. Average price is about £8-10 for food, which is usual for the West-end but I do admit I miss their 2 for 1 burger offer on a weekday. Overall it's a nice little pub to meet friends for food and drinks to watch the tennis/football or take part in their Thursday night pub quiz.

Meatball pizza!
Martyn M.

On Monday, I was trying to decide what to do for dinner. Normally in this house Monday night is Mexican Mondays where I cook a small Mexican feast and everyone digs in, but I hadn't made the effort to go get anything in to make anything for Mexican Monday, and so I was thinking of other options, and that's when Munro's posted on their twitter; "@MunrosGlasgow: Remember quote #freepizza 5-7pm tonight for FREE Pizza when you buy a drink! #MunrosMondayMadness" Buy a drink and get a free pizza? I am 100% sold. My mum and dad even wanted to come when I asked so this must've been a good deal. When we arrived I instantly liked the place; mismatched furniture, contemporary, spacious and friendly staff - what more can you ask for? We were seated by the window and drinks were ordered. Before long, after quoting #freepizza of course, we had our drinks and our pizzas - and what delicious pizzas they were. I had the meatball and herb, which was absolutely wonderful. The pizzas are freshly made, you can just tell by how good they are. The huge bar is fully stocked with at least 15 different beers, some bottled, some on tap, and the service was quick and friendly. I look forward to coming back!

Appalling chilli dog. Avoid at all costs.
Joe P.

I must say I'm not exactly overwhelmed by munros... The beer selection for somewhere styled as a "craft beer pub" isn't very exciting for a start, but at least they do have 3 cask ales, a real cider and four craft keg beers. The food... Most of my table had pizzas which were pretty tasty... Is very hit and miss. The burger looked ok but didn't taste great, the skinny chips were really good but what let everything down for me was their chilli dog. Now I was expecting something gourmet for £7.50 but what i got was one of those turkey/chicken dogs that come in a brine jar at £3 a half dozen, some half cooked onions lazily draped on top and a small pot of chilli on the side- a pot so small most restaurants would only serve condiments in it. I'm disappointed with munros and I hope it gets better, but with Inn Deep pretty close I don't think I'd venture here again without a good excuse.

Catching IRELAND vs WALES 6Nations
Sarah A.

Dropped by to catch the 6nations match. I only ordered cider so I can't really comment much on the food. The pub itself is really nice! I'll have to go back to try their food but regardless the staff are friendly and they have many selections of drinks which is always great. Space itself is super!

Craft Beer Sampler

So I have a fundamental rule about not going into a place into which I cannot see from the outside. I tend not to do it unless its some sort of hidden gem or speakeasy type place which I have researched the death out of! This was always the case with the Captains Rest on Great Western Road, despite the good reviews, there was always that...'but what if I have to walk straight back out for some reason?' That's just embarrassing for everyone..." type thought hanging over me! I was so glad to see that Munros not only stripped away the dark and misleadingly unfriendly previous exterior and replaced with a nice wooden frontage with big windows all the way around, exposing a really nicely decked out bar. The décor is really nice, there's a good mix of booths, tables and comfy slouchy seats to fit whatever mood you happen to be in that day. Its now a place you instantly feel comfortable in, and fast becoming my new 'local'. If you like Craft beers there's a good selection (as well as 'regular' drinks of course), the pizzas are delicious and the staff seem very friendly, knowledgeable and good at their jobs overall. I have been a few times now, even picked up a voucher deal for one visit and happily found absolutely no difference in the service or quality whatsoever from full price...which is also still pretty reasonable...Munros is a great addition to this end of Great Western Road and highly recommended.

Went along here for their 1st birthday bash and really enjoyed myself. We were sat in a window booth and despite squeezing 6 of us in, was quite comfortable. Having been invited along we received some free food and drinks to sample and everything was delicious, I even liked the jalapeno poppers and peppers scare me! They weren't too hot though and had a lovely crispy coating and creamy cheese stuffing :) The chicken wings were tasty without being too smoky (my personal taste) and I LOVED the pepperoni pizza (also not usually a fan of pepperoni), it was so cheesy! The cajun fries were delicious too! The staff were lovely, very quick and smiley and there was a great atmosphere. I also liked the toilets - plenty of space and nice and clean with an effective hand drier.

My amaretto sour with a smoky twist
Carolyn M.

I remember getting flyers for this place my first and second year of Uni but I never really fancied stopping in. It's on the outside edge of Kelvinbridge so you either need to be heading in from city centre or heading out of Kelvinbridge to really hit this place. A group of us were doing a random pub crawl after an adventure day of crazy golf and drinks and stopped in here. Luckily when we arrived, we were able to grab a table (well, the girls had room to sit anyway) and the guys were able to stand nearby. We stayed in this pub the longest as the drinks were reasonable and the atmosphere was great. I eventually strayed from my usual cider drinks and wanted to see if the bartender could make me an amaretto sour. Not a difficult drink to make, but she decided to add a twist to it with some smokey whisky. This, therefore was not an amaretto sour, rather, a whisky sour. I actually didn't mind the taste, it was very lemony which I loved but it had little to no amaretto in it. No bother, I drank it anyway and was quite pleased with it. I really quite enjoyed this place and I'd be curious to come back for food.

Mac n cheese with chips...

The Pot Still - 1000 whiskies

City Centre

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

Even if you are not a whiskey fan, this place is worth visiting if you're in town. Just to see…read moretheir ginormous, or hmm, whiskey-normous, selection of bottles lining the wall, and the bartenders going up and down the ladders to fetch them. 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.

If you are into craft beer and chill vibe this is a great spot. They carry Overtone Brewing line in…read morecans and it is as good as any US NEIPA including Trillium, Treehouse, Singlecut, Other Half and Tired Hands. Come early or it will be crowded.

Great pub to stop and have a drink after walking around town. Located within about walking distance…read morefrom hotels. Appearance/Location: corner bar located on Argyle street. 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.
