Tonight I went to an event at the Paisley Spree, as much as I was looking forward to seeing James…read moreGrant I didn't expect it to be this awesome. The venue totally earned an OMG! Tonight's gig was held within a stunning Spiegeltent, which apparently means tent of mirrors. This tent came all the way from Belguim....beautiful, I was in awe of the lights, mirrors, fabrics, ornate seating, carpentry but the acoustics blew me away....they were phenomenal and better than most music venues. James Grant was his usual entertaining self, supported by Chris Thomson and RSNO string quartet. Like chocolate for the ears it was languid and satisfying. It was a seated gig and the Spiegeltent allowed a scattering of table and chairs, the layout enhancing a cosmopolitan feel to the event. The venue was supported by a local wine bar, Saporito...I loved that you were served quickly. Don't you just hate having to waste time at the bar, missing some of the gig. The staff were so lovely we went onto this bar after the gig and the cocktails were fab. I honestly haven't enjoyed a gig more.....if you ever get the chance to go see a gig in a Spiegeltent, go you won't be disappointed!!

Five stars is all I'm allowed to give this place, but I'd rather give 6/5!! Friendly guys, REALLY…read moreHELPFUL, and top quality stuff that's at a very, very reasonable price. I only went in to buy a microphone stand, and I know this sounds like an advert, but I was really impressed with this little shop. If you're driving there, parking is easy across the road in a side street. If you have ANY interest in playing music at all, MAKE THIS PLACE YOUR ONLY STOP!! Thanks guys, I'll be back.

I visited the museum for the first time in years last week. I was relieved to find that they still…read morehave Buddy the Lion who was always my favorite exhibit to touch although all the signs told me not to. Buddy the Lion was accompanied by a tiger back then but he seems to have been done away with. I didn't get to spend long in the museum as it was just closing but it hasn't changed drastically since my last visit. I hope to go again soon to see what I missed out last time.

Brilliant! Popped in for Brick Wonders, an exhibition dedicated to LEGO. Great exhibition, with…read morelittle brick creations of the African Savannah, Niagara Falls, London Bridge and the Space Station but to name a few things. Kids (and bigger kids) can play with giant bricks to build lego towers or make trains with Duplo. It really is entertainment for all ages! Cost £4 adults, £3 concessions (the 2 year old was free), we spent almost two hours looking at lego exhibits and playing. Entry to the rest of the museum is free and yes, Buddy the Lion is still there. 4*'s still I go back to see the rest of the exhibits but it is worth a visit!

forced to buy tickets to get beer, then TWICE given less tickets than we paid for. once could be a…read moremistake, twice is deliberate. count your tickets if you ever go. given flimsy plastic cups that are easily spillable as you can squeeze them when navigating the overcrowded room. no seats available. No where to put your jacket. aggressive bouncers on the door looking to cause trouble where there is none. wouldn't recommend. Beer was very average for the price.

If you like craft beer you need to come check out the Paisley Beer Festival! They have over 250…read moreunique beers! And lots of cool names! If you like it blonde, there is everything from the Foxy Blonde to the Supernatural Blonde to the Blond Obsession, or if you are not sure there is always the Pretender Blonde! If you like to dance: Moondance, Bouncy House, or Dark Masquerade! I personally like to go dark: Black Hawk, Dark Island, Obsidian and my favourite the Windswept Wolf! In terms of the beer, the festival gets 5stars. I was a little bummed there was not more seating, food, and live music. Also it was a lovely day, so it would have been nice if they had the doors opened to the courtyard. The food that was there was a decent German sausage and crepe stand. I enjoyed my spicy bratwurst and the customer service was great! More options would have been welcome though. The only music was a little tent with a young guitar and drum duet whaling out songs...not bad, but could have been better. Music in the main town-hall would have added to the ambiance. Oh and I can't forget the balloon guy, he was making all kinds of fun creations! It really was a good time! I thought I was going to spend a FEW hours with my friends at the beer garden in the evening...ended up taking the last train getting home at midnight!!! :) Cheers! Salud! Prost!

I enjoy coming here, staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drink is cheap and tasty. They…read morehave just moved the ticket/max desk to inside the hall- much better now, although can become quite busy nearer the start time of sessions. I have had a few wins since the new year when I first came so cant really complain. The downside is the hall can become to hot at times. Sometime people do not listen to the rules ie turn off phone sound and don't talk during bingo which can become annoying

Good Fun! Drinks are…read more quite cheap and the food is good too! Very friendly staff and callers!
