Ambiance, service, food, all excellent. My B&B was in Dennistoun and I joined my hosts for a meal here. Came back twice more. The food is Asian fusion and excellent. The ramen is thick and hearty--less soupy than in a traditional Japanese place. The bar is a classic beer-heavy pub. Service is friendly. They have variations on music--one night was a DJ spinning, another night was a Celtic kitchen band. Another night just their staff spinning vinyl. There's not a tourist in sight. This is a place of locals--but they made me feel welcome. An outstanding spot. read more

I don't visit the east end all that often, but there was a few places along Duke Street I wanted to visit. And what I was really interested in were the steamed buns at Redmond's - that sounded like something I needed in my life. Redmond's is a nice looking, welcome pub from the outside and lovely and cosy inside. Tweed booths and tall benches mean there's seating for every occasion - on a Thursday lunch time it was pretty quiet though so I grabbed a window seat. Looking over the menu there's a good selection of bits and pieces like flatbread pizza (and mini versions), salads and the aforementioned steamed buns (chicken, pork, mushroom and prawn). I like the menu - it's different from most pub offerings and it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The guy working was super helpful and welcoming, and suggested the pork bun, but as I was just after a snack I thought I'd stick with what I love and ordered a chicken bun. The chicken is crumbed in panko breadcrumbs (the delicious, super crispy kind) and has a hot mayo sauce with it. The bun is £4 or you can get a side with it for £5.50 (soup, salad, wedges). The bun arrived quickly and was nicely presented with a wee garnish of salad. I took out the cucumber as I'm really not a fan, and bit into the bun. Then, I giggled. Yeh, sometimes I giggle when I eat, what of it? That's when you know I'm really happy. The bun was perfectly pillowy soft and delicious. The spicy mayo gave it the right amount of kick, and the chicken was crispy and tender inside. YUM. The bun does have a tendency to stick to your teeth a little but just keep wolfing it down and enjoy. I enjoyed everything about this pub - the decor, the music, the staff and the food. It won't be long before I'm back. read more

Redmond's was one place on my list of the (many/new) places to try when we moved back to Dennistoun. I remember walking past it last year when I was in the area & thinking 'Wow. I never thought I'd see the day; Duke Street actually has a really cool looking new, proper pub...one that doesn't look like I'd get stabbed in! I must try it' I jest of course with the stabby bit but I think it's pretty fair to say Duke Street/Dennistoun wasn't exactly renowed for it's non-local/non-footie fan-friendly pubs. The closest I got to a place that felt like a pub was Tibo. So it's with HUGE welcoming, boozy arms I say 'Woo! & 'Yay! *hic*' to Redmond's. A pub I can go in without feeling as though I need to pretend to be a local hardman (although sometimes in my head I pretend I am...EH?! WHAT YOU LOOKING AT?! hehe!) I've been in Redmond's twice now; once for (weekend) daytime drinks and the other for evening drinks & food. Both occasions I felt not only really relaxed in here but also very welcome. The staff are just lovely. On our 1st visit we said we were just in for drinks but upon spying us reading the food menu a lovely lady came over and said 'Here's the weekend Breakfast/Brunch menu too if you'd like a look at that also...' she also said we could take a seat & they'd bring our drinks over to us which was also pretty cool. The place looks really nice; lots of wood and sea/nautical themed things about kinda reminding me of a hipper version of what the old Captain's Rest (RIP) on Great Western Road could have been. If they'd have obtained the old (albeit creeeeepy) captain mannequin from the CR then he would have fit in quite nicely here methinks. This pub is also bigger than I first imagined. There's quite a few tables & dookits for folk to snuggle into of an evening with a pint or 3. Beers on draught are currently: St. Mungo's, Joker IPA, Heverlee, Tennent's and the guest just now is Under Current, an oatmeal pale ale. I tried it at the weekend and very nice it is too. They also have loads of great cans/bottles of beers too. Redmond's also serve (pre-mixed) cocktails for £5.50. The food menu is pretty varied. I had their steamed buns; one with the panko chicken breast & the other breaded haddock with a side of Parmesan wedges for £9 ~ all of it was delicious. The buns were delightfully sticky and super fresh & the fillings were divine. Only thing that could have improved it was to maybe give me a bigger portion, haha! Seriously though, food was top notch. The pizzas also looked really good and their smaller plates sound really nice as well as do their desserts. I will deffo be back to try more & I really want to try the Breakfast/Brunch menu too. It's worth noting this place is dog and kid friendly (in that order, haha) and on a Wednesday night they have a pub quiz. If this place had space for live bands it'd be just perfect, even still this is one pub I am thankful to call my local. read more

Redmond's is very hipster and cool. The food is delicious, but it's much more 'city centre/Merchant City' than it is East End vibes, both with the clientele and the prices. I find the beers quite pricey, at over 4 quid a pint. The food isn't cheap either, but it is good. Any evening, and especially on a weekend, this place is completely packed - you would be lucky to find a place to stand comfortably let alone sit. It's definitely a popular joint in Dennistoun and it is worth a visit - I haven't been to the pub quiz or seen live music there yet. read more

After the excitement of the Team Scotland Athletes' Parade through Glasgow last Friday, my folks and I ventured into Redmond's for some teatime refreshments. I'd been eager to visit this new Dennistoun bar since I spotted it a couple of weeks ago. Impressed with the drinks on offer - Williams Joker IPA, West St Mungo and Drygate Apple Ale on tap was encouraging. Unfortunately the Drygate Apple Ale just finished leaving my dad to settle for a Joker, which he had no complaints about. The staff are great. Welcoming and friendly, with some good banter too. The interior is pretty good too - not the usual "post-industrial shabby chic", more a makeover of the prior pub with some cool wee booths and high and low tables, and retro bare bulb lights. Just as we perusing the menu my brother and baby arrived to join us for a bite to eat - unfortunately at the time they didn't have a daytime licence for under 18s so the baby was barred! The staff were really apologetic and said the licence application was pending. Sadly we didn't have a chance to try the menu, but I'll definitely be back to do so again soon. We dropped by later that evening after eating elsewhere and the bar was nice and busy. A fantastic addition to Dennistoun, well worth a visit. read more

This won't be much of a review as my guy and I only stopped in for one drink after lunch the other day. As we were walking to lunch, we noticed this building and it looked quite new and trendy, so we made a note of it and decided to stop in on the way from lunch. We walked in and headed straight for the bar, ordered drinks and were told to sit down they would bring us our drinks. Strange-ish, but ok. A lot of seating around the bar and behind a big brick wall, even more seating. Once we got around the brick wall, the pub lost its pub feeling and randomly it felt like a dark-ish restaurant. The lighting was very dim and the mixture of wall paper and brick walls kind of closed everything up. Even though we had just had lunch, we looked over the food menu and it looked quite nice. I overheard a server saying they had a brunch menu as well, which might be worth looking at. I'm curious about the food which would be the main reason to head back to this bar, but on a sunday mid day, there's not much going on here. Tip: Dog friendly! read more

I suppose we came on the busiest and toughest night for the staff at Redmonds cause it seemed like nothing was going too well for them. I can't complain about the staff nor the food/drinks because everything was lovely. Staff were accommodating and friendly, steamed buns were interesting and somewhat a new dish for me (in Glasgow at least) and drinks were great! The only thing was that we waited for our food for one and a half hours(++)? We were informed that it'd be late tonight due to short amount of staff members but I didn't expect it to be so super late! It was like 10.30pm already. And it was for steamed bun burgers that didn't seem too complicated to prepare anyway! They didn't have enough paper for their cashier machine either so they just wrote down the total of our dinner on a paper and we had to deal with it ourselves. Hmmmm. Also, the card machines weren't working well so we had to try like 4 times to pay for our late meal. My feedback would just be to maintain quality of these simple things?? Also have enough staff members on a weekday night guys hello?? Can't imagine what it'd be like when it's twice as busy on a weekend night then! Luckily for the lovely company last night, it was still pretty fun despite the tardiness of our food and such! Again, food and staff were fine so I'll give this place a second chance some time and update this review :) read more

Redmond's - Steamed buns and a lot of booze - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Had some time to kill in the area, so went in for a light lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. I have previously known the place as an old mans pub, but in recent times it's become a more youthful, west end type establishment. I had the goats cheese salad with rosted peppers and courgettes, which was suprisingly delicious. The prices might not be the cheapest in the area (the reason why i gave it 4* in stead of 5*), but it more than makes up for it with the atmosphere. They also do sourdough base pizzas and steamed buns. The service was also delightful, the guy serving me (receipt said Luke) was really welcoming and even said i can put in song requests . Would definitely go back in the near future, perhaps to take part in their events (pub quiz etc.) read more

Redmond's - Warm goats cheese salad with a wine spritzer. - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

By now everyone should be well aware that Dennistoun had been having a pretty awesome revival over the past few years. Redmonds is a prime example of this. It's a fairly mid sized bar, quite modern, with wood everywhere. The atmosphere is nicely relaxed, and on the weekends it has a real buzz about it. The staff have been great every time I've been in - sorting a tab is no biggie. The beer selection is pretty good, and not overly expensive. I've eaten here a couple of times too, they do a mean pizza and chicken pot thing. Without a doubt, one of my favourite bars. read more

I almost don't want to tell folk how good Redmonds is...it's brilliant! Keeping the nice touches of the original incarnation, opening it out and giving it a friendly outlook, not to mention the excellent stripped back but still relaxed and cosy interior, the welcome couldn't be warmer! They serve a wide range of craft beers alongside a simple but oh-so-tasty menu, the steamed buns are out of this world, portobello mushroom in hoi sin being my winner, we may have been a couple of times, you know...to check consistency...uh huh! If you aren't sure what you fancy, the staff are great for recommendations and are always really friendly. Another perfect addition to the growing food and drink community in Dennistoun, I'll raise a pint to that! read more

I love this pub the beer is ace, the staff are always friendly and helpful, food is also very very good the pub dennistoun has been crying out for for years read more

I liked the pizza more than the steamed buns, and the chorizo was particularly tasty. The service was excellent and the place has a laid back hipster vibe. The prices were just a bit higher than I would have expected. read more

I was excited to try yet another new bar in dennistoun. We went on saturday night and the place was quite busy. Its nice inside..quite modern. They sell beers from drygate across the road. I ordered prosecco which came warm. I asked for a cold one and they had none in fridge so i had to wait untill one was chilled. O was a bit confused why they even served me it warm instead of offering me something else. My friends ordered wine however they have no wine glasses so had to drink from normal glasses..they werent to happy about that. We ordered quite a lot of food from the pork and chicken steamed buns, wedges, chorizo pizza, herring and venison pate. The best dish was the pate with oatcakes. The pork bun was nice but the chicken one was quite dry. The flatbread pizzas were nice however my friend prefers crispier bases so dodnt finish it all. The prices were ok. However there isnt a big selection of food so id say its a better place for drinks and a nibble. Our server was very good and the food came fast. read more
