The Swann Inn, Eaglesham, is an excellent local pub. Dating back I the nineteenth century, there's…read moretons of charm and character about the place. As you walk in there's a bar area which is relatively small but offers some privacy with booth areas. Towards the back and up some stairs is the restaurant area, again quite small but very homely. Their steak pie is lovely and well worth trying out, as is the rest of the food. Bonus of two real ales on at any one time too, the only cask beer for miles around.

I had a lovely wee dinner here on my first visit to The Swan Inn last Friday evening…read more The Swan serves traditional pub grub, steak pie, haddock & chips, gammon steak etc and the haddock which I ordered was piping hot and fresh, served with chips and a side salad. The child who was with me had the small steak pie (it comes in two portion sizes) and the small definitely looked big enough. From the lack of conversation & fidgeting whilst he was eating I'd say that the steak pie was excellent too. All in all a nice fresh meal, in pleasant surroundings (the kind of place you could take your granny). Well worth a visit if you're near Eaglesham.

Service was dreadful, food was the only redeeming factor it was ok. Layout is really disappointing…read more Its a restaurant with a tiny pub area. Hardly a replacement for the osprey which got it very right having a pub that you can get food at every table but we're WELCOME to go in and sit/stand whatever and have a pint! Exactly what a pub should be! Not here! Walked in a immediately got stopped with a "have you booked" on replying no the response was a very large sigh and we'll we'll try! (It wasn't that busy) One eventually getting seated and going to the bar to get served (they don't do table service but supposedly do drinks and dessert at your table after your initial order! ) I waited for 25 minutes to be served at the bar as there was only 2 people serving, there were 2 people being served and I was next in the line! one of the waitresses approached with her iPad and said I'll take your order since you've been waiting! No problem..... I start ordering and after much swiping and prodding she announces "oh I can as I can't put mains on the iPad!!" WHAT KIND OF SETUP IS THIS??? I asked how things had been since they opened the woman replied. "It's been okay it's just really busy tonight because people keep coming in!" THATS HOW A PUB WORKS!!!! Although I've never known a pub before that I need to book for! Beer tap selection was dreadful all lagers and ciders with 2 token ales. Won't be rushing back!

What always amuses me about this relatively trendy bar is the demographic of the patrons. We were…read morethe youngest of quite a number of customers in there, and we're in our forties! Perhaps it says more about the Newlands area on a Sunday lunchtime than the bar, because the bar should be popular with a younger crowd. The real ale selection is good, the decor is good, it could be more comfortable perhaps with a couple more sofas, but it is comfortable enough. The food, well it's comfortable too, not challenging, but very decent value and difficult to not like. I went for the 10 chicken wings (you can order 50!) with red hot sauce for the starter, and the "go large" cumberland sausage and seasoned mash, peas and onion gravy for my lunch main. The shock was that the chicken wings had a genuine kick, not what I'm used to in this pub, and that though they were small 10 was a large starter, 50 for £10.99 would be a pretty large meal. At this point I was thinking about giving a four. Then the main came, and it was okay. The mash was typically a bit safe and the sausage too. It was fine but lacking spice and herbs, so back to a three. I think they know their clientele, but I like a more intense flavour.

We were booked as a band for a night of music in Sweeney's, playing alongside some other local…read moreacts. The night itself wasn't organised by the bar but someone outwith who hosts a regular music showcase. The evening felt very uorganised, and although, little of this is down to Sweeney's, the staff were of little help. We arrived early. The decor is eclectic, the pub definitely has a personal touch. I really liked the musical and instrument motifs by the stage area. There's also some quirky signs by the bar. Although, it did all a bit funky and mismatched to me. When we walked in, instruments in hand, we made our way from one half of the bar to the other; one which has the stage. Although the bar staff in the first room had explained we'd to head through to the second, nobody welcomed us or explained what would be happening when we got there. Other than a heckle from some folks at a table and a 'What will you be playing for us?!', we were left to it. We took a seat and, noticing no other instrument-in-hand folks, wandered exactly what the plan was. So we ordered drinks, and then I introduced myself and the band. At this point, more musicians were in the bar. Phew! The barman explained that the person who runs the night was running late. Understandably not their fault, what could they do? But then time went on and on. And there was no update from the bar. We just waited and waited. We'd presumed we were first since it had been listed that way without a mention of running times but after waiting till after the night should have begun (when the organiser finally arrived), we found out we were second. By this point, we just wanted to play; play and go home. In addition, the monitor mix wasn't great and the organiser had mistakenly thought there was two of us, so Sweeney's only paid two of us for performing. The general feeling was that there's venues out there doing amazing things for local music. The best and memorable gigs for us have had great hosts behind them. We just didn't feel this way about Sweeney's, and that's a pity.

I've been to Mulberry Street loads of times down the years yet shamefully have never reviewed it…read more Time to put that right! Mulberry Street is a bar/restaurant that's doggie friendly, sells up to three real ales (usually Harviestoun and Fyne Ales), serves food and has a pretty big outdoor seating area. The beers are always well kept and this is shown by the yearly entries in the Good Beer Guide that Mulberry Street enjoys. The food is really good and not that expensive too, with Sunday brunch being the highlight with all dishes being served with a pot of tea or speciality coffee. They also have a quiz on Monday nights which is free to enter. The staff are really friendly and efficient too. It tends to get pretty busy on a weekend and in the evenings, and if it's a sunny day you'll need to turn up early to get a prime seat at one of the bistro style outdoor tables to watch Strathbungo life go by! Other establishments in the area may be more hyped, but they can't beat Mulberry Street's dedication over the years to this once obscure area of the Southside.

It's not all that memorable in terms of decor (lots of cream colours) but it is nice enough and had comfortable couches. There's a separate area for the restaurant which was very quiet compared to the bar area but maybe that was because it was mid afternoon. Toilets are downstairs although when we'd visited, the power had gone out so the waitress directed me to the disabled instead. Staff at the bar were really friendly and chatty and I was impressed with the range of drinks. I opted for Strongbow on tap, and there was also West beers available. A round of 4 drinks was just over £10 so not too pricey either. Only downside was that they don't do cocktails but it is a pretty small bar so I guess they can't do everything! I'd definitely head back to check out the food after this visit.

There is live entertainment available on certain dates. I saw one live band here a few years ago that was very impressive. They have a Robbie Williams impersonator coming soon. I used to be taken here in 1980 by the teachers in my school with other pupils that played Table Tennis and badminton on Wednesday evenings.
