There was a wide selection of beer on tap, but the craft beer doesn't compare to what is available in the states. Pizza is also available if you're looking for food. The place is spacious with high ceilings and it was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a chill place to check out the beer scene. read more

We went there for pizza. Very interesting concept, you order at the bar, they give you a device with number, which rings when your pizza is ready. The pizza itself was very tasty (I had mushroom and rocket salad), especially with blue cheese dip. My only complaint it was too loud because of the music, like in the nightclub, so was really hard to talks but considering they paid DJ so maybe that was the idea? They add 5% service charge on top of your bill, which is very modest these days! read more

My wife and I walked by and decided to stop in. The selection of beer was great. They had plenty of their own beers, as well as a large selection of guest beers. Their NA selection wasn't bad either, as my wife is pregnant and was looking for something without alcohol. Cheers. read more

Shilling offered a great respite during our multi-day tour of Glasgow. The staff were attentive on both of our visits. They were also friendly and enthusiastically suggested some sights to check out while we were in town. The pizza had a crispy crust and just the right amount of toppings. read more

After a day of exploring Glasgow, and needing a break from the fancy food we had enjoyed, we thought pizza and beer sounded good. And this is just the place! We stopped in on a Monday evening when they were having a quiz (trivia) night, and were running a special on 2 for 1 pizzas. Delicious 12-inch personal pies with plenty of toppings. Just what the doctor ordered! Out of our league on the trivia, but we didn't have room to pack our thinking caps. The team names did not disappoint. read more

I really enjoyed myself at SBC! Bartender helpfully recommended the local version of Guinness and it was great. Wonderful place to meet locals. Lots of tables were reserved for the early Saturday Evening rush, but a nice waitress was able to shuffle us around to find seating. This is a more "posh" place than others close by read more

Stopped by here for a quick dinner and to try some beer. The pizza was delicious and came out quickly. Of special note: the garlic bread was baked so perfectly, it was like a cracker in some spots it was so light, airy, and Delicious! The beer was pretty good and the flight contains 1/2 pints, so it was very generous! Stop by and enjoy the garlic bread for sure! read more

The venue itself is gorgeous. Well designed, in a great building, they have obviously spent a lot of money on it. So they got the first rule absolutely 100% right. Great environment. As for the second rule, the service is decent. not great but pretty good. As for the third rule, I didn't try the food, but this is a Brewery, so on to the beer - it's not ready for prime time. I tried four pale ales, none of which qualified as a pale ale. All of them were overly sweet and lacked on bitterness. "These Streets" gives you strong hints of pineapple, like a juicy IPA, minus the hops. Too much like fruit juice to qualify. Next is the wandering eye, with a hibiscus aroma, and a hint of sweet tea on the pallet, again, seriously lacking in bitterness. The US Pale is anything but; hazy in color when it should be clear - a mildly smoky, but mostly sweet aroma, reminiscent of Swisher sweets; the flavor is very fruit juice. Last I tried Happy Chappy. A strong aroma of burnt rubber, with a smoky flat finish - not great. As the venue is incredible, and we've got some owners really understand the business, or show it seems, let's hope they get their brewing up to snuff ASAP. The brewmaster is not ready for prime time, but hopefully will get there soon. Let's look for some more complex, brighter, hoppier notes, and dial the sugar way, way down for cleaner finishes. I wish them the best of luck and hope this place succeeds. read more

Great place in Glasgow for a local brew and some great pizza the staff was great and made you feel like old friends

A new pub you say? They brew their own beer, you say? They sell pizza too? Ok, thanks Yelpers, obviously this had to go to the top of my "to visit" list. I got the chance last night. First impressions: The interior is really lovely and I am far from the first to discover the place. It was just the right kind of busy when we arrived at ~7pm on a Thursday night, with a good atmosphere but still a couple of tables left. We ordered a couple of pints and took a seat. So the beer is indeed brewed on site and the brewing equipment isn't hidden. I'm not sure if they do tours but if they do I think I'd like to go on one. Over the evening we tried the Glasgow Red (my favourite) and The Steamie as well as another IPA and a wheat beer. While the Glasgow Red is a pretty classic red ale the others all seemed to have something more interesting going on. I guess that might not suit everyone but I enjoyed it. Having read Briony's review I knew I had to try the lamb mince pizza which is also topped with aubergine, almonds, fiery red chillies and mint yoghurt. The chillies were hotter than I'd normally go for on a pizza but that's just me being delicate. I removed a couple and really, really enjoyed it. These pizzas rival some of the best in Glasgow. I think they might be my partner's new city centre favourite too. The staff were pretty great too and, although it was busy, didn't mind telling you a bit about the beers and letting you taste them if you want to. We'll definitely be back. read more

Craft beer and pizza.... Mmmmmmm That's my general thoughts on both pizza and beer, so when I heard there was a new place doing both in Glasgow I was keen to check it out ASAP. First impressions were that it's quite swanky inside and not the usual style of bar serving craft beer. They have invested a lot of money it seems and it has been used to put together a very nice looking venue. On the beer front they have around 15-20 taps (I think), but sadly a load were taken up with Tennents, Guinness, etc. (catering to all tastes I guess) Still on a positive note they brew some beer on site and three were their own brews. I had a really enjoyable Unicorn IPA and I got to try the blonde they did as well. It was also pretty tasty. Again another plus is they have about 15 bottled beer options, there was a few I had not tried which always makes me happy. We did not want to leave without checking out the food to, so we shared a pizza. We went with the basic mozzarella and tomato and it was lovely, right up there with the tastiest pizzas in Glasgow. They have a proper pizza oven and chef and it shows. They appear to be serving up a very high standard of authentic pizza. All in it was a good experience. It's nice to have another place in Glasgow brewing beer and offering something different from the norm. It's not cheap, but it's probably average these days for city centre. They major plus point is the nice pizza the do to go with your selected IPA.. Definitely worth a look if you like beer, pizza or both! read more

The staff is welcoming, the atmosphere (with visible tanks of beer) is great. My only concern is about the pizza garniture : they are good and original but not enough loaded... Nevertheless, a good address to have a drink or a meal :) read more

I popped in for a quick drink on a Thursday night while I was waiting to meet friends for dinner. Inside is a completely different look from Horton's - it's modern, classy and has some really interesting decor - probably not what you'd expect from a brewery/pub. It's more upmarket than most and so you can happily go in for a drink when you're dressed up on the way out somewhere and you won't look out of place. I was on my own and the staff were incredibly friendly and chatted to me while I sat at the bar so I didn't feel like a total nigel. I initially wanted a cider but then spotted Little Creatures sold by the bottle so got a bottle of that - it's a lovely Aussie beer and not that many places in Glasgow have it. I like that Shilling are brewing their own beer, right in the heart of Glasgow. You can see the tanks behind the bar and as you go downstairs to the loo, there's a brewing room you can peek into (I don't think you can just walk in there though! It is available for private functions). As well as their own beers they do Drygate, Williams Bros, Guinness and Tennents on tap, plus bottled options and cider. I don't know if they have any wine offerings. The other thing I like is the pizza and the open kitchen so you can see the pizzas getting prepared right in front of you. I have tried the food but it was at a launch night so I need to go back before I can properly review it - I will say the lamb mince pizza was CRAZY good and really impressed me seeing as I don't even like lamb. That's what I'll be ordering next time I'm in. I like this new addition to Glasgow. It's doing something a bit different and from what I've experienced, it's doing it well. I know some people are put off by the idea of "craft beer bars" thinking they might be pretentious or snobby, or hipster, but I do genuinely think this place has mass appeal to most tastes. I'm looking forward to going back for a proper try of the food very soon. read more

Another addition to Glasgow's exponentially increasing craft beer pubs. This is a pretty nice addition in the city centre. This is just a bar review (surprise surprise) and have yet to try the food. They make a big deal out of their pizzas so I'm sure they will be worth a try. Visited on a Friday evening a few weeks after opening and it was, not surprisingly, pretty busy. Inside though there is a ton of space, the super high ceiling makes the place seem huge, though there's space at the back which is a bit more cosy. The decor is pretty nice, with large beer hall style benches and a nice bar. Probably the coolest thing about this bar is their own range of beers are made on site (you can see some of the brewing equipment behind the bar). Naturally I tried their own range of beers. Special mention to The Steamie though, this was a cracking beer, tons of flavour and dead easy to drink. Only drawback to the selection on offer, half the list of beers consist of some standard pub staples, so they could be a little bit more adventurous with some of their guest beers (guess this will change over time). Definitely worth a visit for the beer lovers in Glasgow. read more

Mind that time you only ever had a choice between Tennents or Carling when venturing out for a few evening pints in Glasgow's city centre. Now there are pubs in the middle of the city with a full blown brewery in them like in the recently opened Shilling Brewing Co. We visited on a Saturday at around 8 and were pleasantly surprised to get a table despite arriving unannounced. The space is big with high ceilings and the hints of a brewery behind the bar. In some ways it was very similar to the businesses that had been there before whilst still being different enough to feel new. Having gorged ourselves at the Merchant City Festival we skipped the pizzas, that looked pretty good, and went straight for the beer. Having never knowingly had a sample from Shilling 4 of our group went for the beer flight. 4 1/3 pints in a funky copper holder for £7. A price that was subject of much debate at our table as it appeared to us that if you were to buy the 4 drinks in the same volume separately it would have been a couple of quid cheaper, a riddle we never actually bothered to solve. I thought the beer was good without being amazing, with Glasgow Red being the pick of the bunch, although I would have liked to have a free choice on my 4th instead of getting what I was given especially as 3 of the options are only advertised. My pint of Black Star Teleporter was my favourite with that classic coffee and chocolate flavour that any good porter should have. Prices (flight confusion aside) were very reasonable considering the market with pints hovering around the £4.00 mark and halves and thirds available whilst a full bar was available for those with less hoppy tastes. It's nice to find something like this slap bang in the middle of the city centre and I'm sure I'll end up popping in again in the future if only just to see what the pizzas are like. read more

I was excited to try Glasgow's newest craft beer place and beers I hadn't tried before. We went in and, hey, it's Glasgow city centre on a Saturday afternoon, in a craft beer pub, they must have had vegans in here already. I asked if their beers were filtered with isinglass (fish bladder, making it neither vegan nor vegetarian) and the friendly guy behind the bar said their IPA was unfiltered, and he'd check with his line manager. Came back, said manager said none of their beers were suitable for vegans. I looked at the list: "Caesar Augustus is vegan, Heverleee is vegan, Joker IPA is vegan, Innis and Gunn is vegan, Tennents is vegan. Guinness isn't vegan but will be next year once they've built their new factory...". I like beer. Does the manager even know or care about the products he's selling? We went with a couple of Williams Bros beers, and when he said he was vegetarian himself but didn't think he could go vegan I recommended the Glasgow Vegan Beer Festival next month to him. :) Three stars for being able to get a seat, a beer, and friendly service, and I like the soul + swing music they've been playing. read more

Edit to previous review, was fully stocked on Saturday and had some really good ales. Try the Notorious DIPA!! I had hoped the lovely helpful bargirl was going to be there again but instead we got a grumpy unhelpful barman. I love my ales and was excited to finally be heading to SBC, although this visit wasn't great I will be back as I reckon they were just having a bad day! The building itself is not your norm hipster industrial but quite swanky which I wasn't expecting, not my bag really but pleasant all the same. I was however appreciative of the lack of hipsters and more of a 'normal' crowd. Lol. The selection of ales looks tremendous but here's the down side, nearly every ale I asked for was off!!? I thought this was very poor indeed but the girl behind the bar was very very knowledgeable, helpful and really nice. As I say I will try going back... If they have the ales in it'll be 5 stars. Didn't try the food so can't comment on it. read more

Craft Beer? Pizza? Can I get a hell yeah!!!! So shilling Brewing Co....another new Craft Bar and once again I am super excited to try. 18 taps... All Kegs I think, only three of them were their own. Glasgow Red, The steamie and Unicorn IPA. Whilst running down the tap list I became a little disappointed as Tennent's and Guinness were headliners in this fancy new bar. I opted for one of their own and it was very pleasant. What I would say is that it's sold in pints and maybe 2/3 would be more enjoyable. Once we got seats and settled in we noticed an extensive bottled list which was impressive. The place is big and quite plush inside, not your normal hipster dive, or your proper independent Craft bar! If I didn't know it was a "brewing company" I'd say it was imaged on a wine bar. Nice bathrooms kitted out in Villeroy & Boch. Last but not least we did try out the Pizza and it was decent, weird toppings but the plain pizza wasn't bad at all. It's a nice place but i don't think it would be my first choice for Saturday Night Beers!! read more

I almost went here when it first opened but I had mistakenly thought it was dog friendly so couldn't actually go. It then took me a whole year to return which I now realise was a very bad idea. This place is all about craft beer and pizza. Two things we all love (or should do anyway). Beers are great and the pizza is great. So make sure you check this place out if you like either or both of these things. read more

Very nice brewery and craft beer bar set in the interior of on old bank. Their own beers are delicious, and there is plenty available from other craft brewers. They also have their own wood-fired oven for making pizzas but I'll have to be back to try those (even though I am confident they'll be absolutely fantastic). read more

Shilling isn't gonna set the craft beer scene alight but its certainly upping the stakes in terms of quality city centre pubs in Glasgow, so this is a solid "A-OK" 3-star review from me. On hearing that Shilling had some 18 taps with their very own brews (Unicorn IPA, Glasgow Red and The Steamie) on offer, I was initially very excited. Although I didn't dislike their own beer, I found them slightly difficult to drink and ended up struggling with a full pint. The flavours for me just didn't win me over, but perhaps things will improve as they master their brewing techniques. Other guest taps included some rather unspirational offerings like Tennents, Guinness and a few from Williams Bros, which was slightly disappointing. I would have liked to have seen some more interesting and unique beers on draught, but again, the range may improve with time, seeing as they are just recently opened. So, strangely my favourite this about Shilling wasn't the beer, but the pizza. Perfectly baked, well flavoured and good quality ingredients already make this one of the best pizza joints in town!!! Unfortunately the choice of toppings were not exactly authentic and Shilling have clearly opted for a wacky variety of tastes with things like lamb mine / haggis / Cajun chicken toppings. This meant fussy pants was left with a limited options, but opted for the safe bet, the good old Margherita. Again they put their own spin on by adding fresh topped tomato on it (why??) and I must say I thought the pizza was a little on the small size. Shilling is a really smart and classy place, again something I would not of expected for a craft beer bar. The staff were well presented, knowledgeable and friendly. The city centre for me is really lacking in quality bars and I think over time Shilling have a proper winning formula with their excellent pizza and wide range of beers. I can definitely see myself coming to Shilling for post work drinks and should be a real hit with the office crowd. read more

Back in Glasgow for the first time in a while and came across this place that used to be Hortons. Awesome choice of different beers and the Unicorn IPA is a must try! Will definitely be back! Oh and had some killer haggis nachos to share! read more

Only in Glasgow for 3 days and been to this place twice! Great beer (Glasgow Red & Steamie are favs). Get yourself a 'flight' so you can try the different brews. 1/3 pint with pizzetta before 5pm for a fiver is a winner! Great place to hang out. The bankette seats have power points so you can charge your mobile. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Glasgow. read more

Fantastic brewpub! Excellent, knowledgable, and friendly staff. The building is gorgeous, and major props to the interior decorator who decided to feature so much of the original interior, while infusing the space with very clean, contemporary touches. The beers are delicious and varied, and the pizza is the perfect balance of thin, Napolean crust, and pure, simple toppings. Pricing is quite reasonable, especially given the high quality. I came in by myself, but will be coming back to bring all of my friends. As a highly experienced member of the brewery-visiting community, I highly recommend this place if you're ever in Glasgow. Sure beats the grey and the rain! read more

Here on vacation...what a venue. Big place with ample seating and open feel. They only had four taps open when I was here, but the beer it legit. GOOD STUFF! they have a huge guest tap list so don't think it's just their beer. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Tho when I went (4ish) there was no table service. Not sure if there is at all really, but no biggie. Great place! read more

Nice brewery, but the whole place has tables reserved so hard to get a seat. I guess you need to call and make a reservation for tables here, even the high tops. The beer is good and the pizza was above average but not awesome. read more

I'm not a massive beer fan but those I was with are quite the connoisseurs. One of the three house options, unicorn, was sold out which was a bit disappointing and none of us were particularly keen on the steamie or the Glasgow red on offer. That said there were plenty of others options. Lovely venue and the pizzas looked great, although we weren't eating. Great venue for larger groups. read more

As craft beer lovers we popped in over the weekend to try out beers made inhouse. We sat by the kitchen area and impressed by the pizza oven and obvious home made pizza. The wife and i went for Haggis & Chicken and was served with small jams. My wife ordered the beers and the barman chatted us through the types and plumped for Glasgow Red first....lovely, followed by Unicorn my favourite. What a fantastic place with great staff and a welcome addition to the Glasgow scene. If 10 * were available it would score that high. Cant wait to return read more

Pure. Dead. Brilliant. Loved it since it opened, good as ever. Amazing pizzas, beer perfect. Cheers!

I can't believe the service I just got at the Shilling Brewing Company. They have a fantastic deal for a pint and a pizza for four pounds. Unfortunately it appears that ordering 19 pizzas is unacceptable for a group of 6?? We were in no uncertain terms told off by a certain member of the wait staff (beard) who had the audacity to question the "economic viability" of their own deal. We were also subjugated to fat shaming when one of our members (who has had a long struggle with body dysmorphia) by suggesting that his "fourth should have been enough." We and our chubby friend (who felt extremely victimized) feel that this is blatantly disrespectful and DO NOT plan on returning unless extremely skint. read more
