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.

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.

So this was a Sunday night just chillin' and grabbing a few beers kinda night listening to all them dirty dirty blues. Da da da da dum! Oh and talking a whole lotta random nonsence. Da da da da dum! At the entrance it spilt into two, venue to left and the bar to the right, here I am stuck in middle..... er em. Sorry! Anyhoo we had a booth which looked like it could be closed to make a private party area. Steady! It was an all round really good night, the decor was non too shabby for a rock stylee venue with fancy wall paper and chandeliers, one girl actually blended into the wall with the top she was wearing. Nice! Drinks what you'd kinda expect to pay in the city centre but overall a fab night out and wouldn't mind swinging by again for some more of them dirty blues. Da da da da dum!

Made from "Smirnoff Green Apple Vodka & Xante Pear Cognac, shaken with lemons and apple juice. Finished with a splash of lemonade and a drizzle of grenadine, served in a chilled wine glass." There's no denying this cocktail had an apple zing to it - quite sweet but not too over the top and pretty easy drinking. I'd ordered the twice cooked fries (£2.95) and they arrived pretty quickly and were piping hot. They weren't amazing fries, a little greasy but overall they were pretty decent and we demolished them without any trouble. I then opted to get into a second cocktail - it was a Saturday afternoon, after all. The Black Magic Woman (£6.50) is an espresso martini with "Illy Espresso, Smirnoff Red, Patron XO & brown sugar shaken over ice, strained into a martini glass and dusted with chocolate." Woah. This was GOOD. I mean, really good. A bit addictive, even. Thankfully I wouldn't be able to tolerate two espresso martinis so that wasn't really an option. I loved the chocolate dusting and it was one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. I'd even go so far as to say I would go back to Slouch just for this cocktail, it was that good.

For a Sunday afternoon, there were a few patrons, but not many. The lunch menu was really cheap - 2 meals for £11! You can't go wrong. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked. Not too deep fried. The fish didn't taste frozen. I wish there was more tartar sauce, but there were a variety of other sauces on the table. It also comes with a drink. There's TVs and sports memorabilia everywhere.

It is not located in the hip touristy area next to Planet Hollywood. It is a small unassuming pub in a working class neighborhood. We walked from Glasgow University (looks like Hogwarts) which turned out to be a longer walk than Google made it seem. It was cold and drizzly just like Scotland should be so when we got there we were ready. We didn't have reservations but they were extremely nice and sat us down. This is a Pub. Just what you are picturing in your head right now. Dark, lots of dark wood, old crumbling bricks. I love this decor. We started with a couple of appetizers I ordered the Salmon Tartar and my wife ordered the smoked duck breast. I ordered a cold pint my wife had a glass of white wine. We decided to also have a half dozen local oysters. The waitress asked if we were expecting someone else. I guess 3 appetizers is not normal for 2. We were just getting started. Once we demolished all 3 appetizers I followed up with the Pan Seared Gigha Halibut my wife had the steamed Shetland Mussels. What a treat. All the seafood is local and very fresh. All of our dishes from beginning to end were tops. A truly historic dining experience from a historic eatery. In Glasgow then GO...... to The Finnieston. See what I did there. BTW we also had dessert.

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.

I opted for Japanese and my husband opted for a pizza. There are also multi-themed bars with a full bar. It was a great opportunity to meet up with the Glasgow Yelpers and celebrate Lucy B's birthday. Lucy suggested here due to their opening hours. So if anyone had children they could bring them during the day. It is also dog friendly. I thought that was a really good idea. Folks dropped in and left throughout the day at their own leisure. The Dockyard is only opened at the weekend but has long opening hours. Basically the party starts on a Friday from 5pm - 11pm, 12noon - 11pm on Saturday and 12.00noon - 8.00pm on a Sunday. It really is a great social dining area experience. One thing you need to do is buy a £5 entry ticket. I bought mine online from their website. Online let me choose a time slot. I choose 12noon - 5.00pm. We then exchanged our tickets for coin tokens at the cash desk when you arrive. So I presume you can also buy on the door. The token is worth £5 so this means you can redeem it for a free drink or a free food items for one of the stalls. I would advise using it towards the food as most items are from £5. I would also advise that you wrap up as it was pretty cold. They do have heaters dotted around the place but when your sitting for so long you can start to feel rather chilly. I've only experienced it during the winter so it will be interesting to see you how it is during the summer. I highly recommend this place as alternative day/night out. There's DJ's keeping the choons going, so it's got a good atmosphere. The only thing is I did find it a bit hard to find when using Google Maps. It's about a 10 minute walk from the Exhibition Train Station and you could walk by the entrance when you arrive. Fortunately there was a bouncer outside and he said we were in the right place. If you get the chance, go along, it's a great way to spend a weekend with a different type of dining experience.

PHYSICAL ASSAULT BY BOUNCER AVOID…read more When I visited this venue I ordered around £50 worth of food and sat at a table with my partner. Around five minutes later a male security bouncer approached me and said you haven't reserved this table you have to move somewhere else. I simply stated that I wasn't aware of table reservations and that I had bought a ticket for the event. He then told me "don't get cheeky" which I absolutely wasn't, in fact I was responding to the unnecessary tone he took with me initially. He told me you only bought a ticket, so has everyone in here. People have reserved this table so you need to move. I then moved to a table across the hall and spotted a female bouncer walking past. Still in shock about how I was spoken to previously I asked if I could speak with her regarding what had happened with her male colleague. I did not say a word of what happened before I was told "I already know what you're going to say and I am not putting up with it. He wouldn't be rude to you. I am a 52 year old woman and I'm not putting up with this." I asked if I could speak to get my point across as to what I was unhappy with when she grabbed my arms aggressively whilst her male colleague took my partners drink from his hands and told me to get out. This is utterly disgusting and they should be ashamed to run a venue where customers cannot ask for basic respect from staff without being physically assaulted and told to leave. Not only did I not receive the food I spent £50 on or the further £12 I paid in drinks which I did not consume, I had my night ruined and now have a traumatic memory with has shaken me greatly. Avoid at all costs!!
