I need to go back to Sunday school!…read more I began to wonder if there was any hope, but deploying my sharp elbows and a deep holler of "mind yir pints!" soon opened a corridor of biblical proportions for me to saunter through. It was obviously the threat of a 'spilt' pint that did the trick, but nevertheless Moses would have been proud. And there he was, DF. The only one who didn't move for my arrogance, and with eyes firmly on the fitba telly he said "All right Steph? There's no hope, Scotland are p*sh tonight!" But there was hope. They've added a third fridge full of bottled wonders. Just when I thought I'd only have 50 or so beers to choose from, they come along and add another 25! Help yourself and Bob, is indeed your uncle! But maybe that's why there's no room for people in this pub? It's full of beer fridges. This all suits me perfectly well, as craft beer IS my best friend and people are overrated anyway.

It took me over 4 years of living in the Southside to visit Heraghty's Bar, but I'm glad I did and…read moreI'm sure I'll be back. The bar is really small but that gives the place a nice atmosphere. There is a lovely ornate bar serving standard Glasgow drinks. Unfortunately the Erdinger draught had run out, but the Budvar on tap was lovely. Given that the beer selection isn't great I'd never plan to visit the place on its own, but added to a visit to Mulberry Street and the Allison Arms it's well worth popping in.

When the other bar was found to be rammed we dashed back to Heraghty's and bagged the last table. And there we stayed. Live music, good friendly atmosphere and a strong neighbourhood vibe meant we felt right a home instantly. For a pub that's a little on the blokey side I was heartened that at least the ladies loos were something good to write home about. The drink selection for such a small place was very decent too. We'll be back!

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.

This dog friendly pub is a nice spot to pop into for a drink. We initially sat outside although it…read morestarted to rain a little so moved inside. 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.

We never ordered food but lots of wine. They have a great selection and the staff were pretty helpful considering there were about 15 of us. I'll go back for food next time I'm home.

I will give it this, the tennents was beautiful. was my first outting since my surgery and my first time here, will not be returning unfortunately.

We decided on here for our Sunday dog-friendly lunch destination and were really chuffed with it…read more Lebowski's is very dog-friendly - as soon as we arrived, they brought over a bowl for Joffrey and all the staff were really nice and welcoming to him which was good! When we were there, they seemed to be only doing a brunch menu which was a shame as I actually didn't feel like brunch but I went with the veggie breakfast (no beans) all the same. The brunch menu is pretty standard - full breakfast, veggie option, pancake stack or eggs florentine/benedict. They have gluten free options as well which was good to see. Food didn't take long to arrive and the veggie breakfast was good - nothing ground breaking, but a good selection for £8.95. Most interesting was the falafel which was really nice. The menu said there was a rosti but I didn't seem to get that which I only just realised writing this review! All up, I was really pleased with this brunch spot in terms of the dog-friendliness and how relaxing it was for us. We'll definitely be back.

We opted for the burgers, it is after all what Lebowski's are famous for, they're not particularly cheap and you pay for extra toppings, but they come with a choice of skinny fries or tats (sic). They were very friendly, I even got a tour, and were very generous to our party. The service in general was good too. I really liked my burger even though I'd only elected to have a smoked Applewood cheese slice on it augmented by ketchup from the table. The bun stayed together, the juicy burger stayed together, and the meat was of good quality and nicely seasoned. What more can you ask for from a patty? The skinny fries were as good as any too. So why is it not five stars? Well, a couple of other people commented their burger was a little too dry, so taking that into account a four.

This was part of our International Food Night arranged by our very own International Yelper Man of…read moreMystery Rocco G. It sounded like a nice wee change and a visit to deep south of Glasgow. This was indeed a special wee Yelp outing as these don't happen very often. I was looking forward to my Caribbean treat and meeting up with my fellow Yelpers. I managed to find the Southside by train to Queen's Park Station and it's only a 5 minutes hop, skip and jump to The Rum Shack. I was unfortunately in still a bit of pain from the Kiltwalk so think I didn't get to enjoy the experience as much as I had hoped. We were seated on stools at 2 separate high tables. I think I was craving a normal seat, which are available by the way. The menu had a fairly nice varied choice of Caribbean dishes, some with a Scottish twist. So I opted for the Haggis Balls to kick off this food night. The starter was absolutely delicious, the sauce wasn't too hot and with a pleasant amount of sweetness to compliment my balls. Oh yeah! OK, so they were actually "fritters". I felt some of the menu for me was a bit on the spicy side so opted for the vegetarian dish of Cuban black bean and rice with fried plantain and sweet potatoes. I have to say it was very different but quite palatable. It was lovely décor and the staff could not be any more helpful, they were very accommodating and polite. I'm not sure I would venture back here as I felt there was nothing else on the menu I would really try, I think it would be nice to swing by for some drinks as they have a fully stocked bar and I'm sure there's a rum lurking in there somewhere that I may like. Try for yourselves, for me I just wasn't blown out my boots.

Popped in for lunch on Saturday after having it on my list of places to try for a while. It was…read morequiet and when walking in to the main bar for the first time there were no menu's on the tables. We weren't sure where to sit or the set up of the place but after finding a seat the staff were welcoming and helpful. We were in for food more than drinks, however I did have a tasty dark rum and ginger beer or two which was as nice as you'd hope. The service was quick and after ordering the waitress brought over a bottle of their house chilli sauce with a warning that it was incredibly hot - she wasn't lying! It was lovely though, not sure if they do, but they should sell it by the bottle. The menu was small which I find a welcome sign, I always hope this means the kitchen have perfected the few dishes they list and I was not disappointed. To start we had Accra and Popcorn Prawns, the prawns were nice and came with a tasty sauce but the Accra was the definite winner for the starter. For our mains we had Jerk Pit Fish of the Day and Jerk Pit Pork belly, both came with corn on the cob and rice and peas. The jerk seasoning was great, and had a good heat to it, as you would expect. The rice was well cooked and well seasoned and the fish tender and flakey. I could have done with an extra corn on the cob - that dipped in their hot sauce was a highlight for the veggie lover in me. Not eating meat personally, I never tried the pork belly, however I was told it was delicious. It's not far from a top rating for me (I'd give it 4 and a half if I could), the only downfalls I found were the atmosphere little a lacking, probably down to the time of day we visited, between lunch and dinner. I think it would be a great evening trip. I found the material of the plates a little distracting, it felt a little like eating off of paper plates. Over all I'd recommend it, I'll definitely be back to eat here again!

Hard drinking and hard rocking (all of the most played songs on the jukebox are by AC/DC), Strathies is not a place for the faint-hearted but equally it's not as scary as it may seem at first. Despite its rough exterior, the Southside establishment offers all the simple things you could really ask of a bar; football on TV, jukebox, cheap drink, pool table and darts board. It's actually rather welcoming in a "do what your told, and we'll leave you alone" type way. While I can't say I'll be frequenting here often, give me this sort of bar over the sterile style bars of the West End any day. Rock on, I say (although I'd probably be barred if I uttered these words in the place).

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.

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.
