It's described as a steak/chophouse and the smell of steak really hits you as you walk in! The bar area is a little weird - Steph S describes it perfectly as having a real hotel bar vibe, so hopefully they do something about that. It's very sparse and not very welcoming. We had a seat at a booth which was great - but we could have easily another 4 people to our party. This was the same kind of set up in the restaurant area. We were initially told we'd have to wait an hour for a table, it was more like 20 minutes and we got regular updates from the maître d who was excellent and super friendly. We ordered a couple of starters to share - my dining companion is pescatarian so we got the scallops and requested to leave off the Parma ham, and we also got the calamari. The scallops definitely needed the salt from the ham as it was a little bland, thankfully the scallops were lovely and juicy, and the pea puree was delicious. The calamari was also good and nicely seasoned with pepper - already the dishes were of a higher standard than I initially expected. I ordered a steak for a main, medium rare. There is really too much choice between cuts and sizes on the menu, the waitress couldn't really offer any guidance on whether I should order the premium Scotch or Aberdeen Angus. I also ordered an extra side of mashed potato which never appeared and I forgot to check it wasn't on the bill. That being said, the steak was really delicious - well cooked, simply presented with a generous pot of roquefort sauce and a nice addition of some roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine. Service was fine - the waiting staff seem quite young (maybe I'm getting old) and as this place is brand new, they are obviously all still working out their processes. We did get checked up on a few too many times by different waitresses but I guess it's better than being abandoned! I think this bar/restaurant needs a little time to find its feet and its crowd - I'd definitely head back to the restaurant, but I can't see myself going to the bar for a drink in its current format when there's bars like The Bungo nearby that ooze personality.

Just off the main strip of the shopping district and tucked through a little alley way. Sloans is a place that everyone knows about. Somewhat of a fun beer garden vibe outside and the main bar is inside. They were carding to get inside. Table seating was first come first serve outside. Pretty much we're all taken both inside as well. The main bar area is where you can order. It was card only. We did manage to get a seating along of the booth against the corner. The vibe is pretty fun. A local pub that everyone meets and mingle. It's a full bar and I believe they also serve food. I've only entered through the little alley way but this time we left out through a door that takes you directly onto the street area. It looked like theres a hotel up the stairs in the lobby. Maybe there's a hotel or it could just leads to different businesses. It's a cool bar restaurant that's pretty much known in Glasgow. A mixed crowd that's there for all the same things, grab a pint and have a good time.

I think they're a good price and tasty! I love milk-based cocktails and it's great they have the white russian, and their girl scout cookie cocktail. Both yummy! I also ordered a portion of curly fries which came in a nice big portion which I tried to share but ate most of. I've had their burgers and full breakfast in the past which I really enjoyed. I have a small complaint which didn't actually affect me but my friend where if they did not have a specific cocktail ingredient they either missed it out, or substituted without asking. This led to some unexpected and some rather unenjoyable cocktails. Luckily this was raised with staff and replacement cocktails given. The café next door which I believe share the same kitchen is also great for filled rolls and hot food for lunch. It's always super busy during lunch time though as there is a high school, university and construction workers all wanting food.

I met a couple of friends here and I had fairly high expectations after hearing good reviews. The decor of the restaurant is nice - spacious and interesting art work on the walls. Sadly the rest of the experience didn't live up to these first impressions. The menu itself does offer a wide variety of dishes, catering for both carnivores and vegetarians. They also had a number of specials up on the board. I settled on the Louisiana chicken served with sweet potato mash and thyme gravy. The service was incredibly slow - it took about half an hour for any food to arrive and it transpired that we had been given the wrong dishes so we had another wait on top of that. My dish was very tasty - the chicken was juicy and the sweet potato mash was nice and smooth. However, I did feel the portion size was fairly small for the price. There was also an issue with my friend's dish - she ordered a sweet potato salad that arrived without any sweet potato. All in all I found my experience at Ad Lib fairly disappointing and I won't be rushing back.

U to the P to the D-A-T-EEE!…read more Yup, it's update time. And it is with great pity and sorry that Ad Lib loses a star from its City Centre branch. I was in here with colleagues not too long ago and I just felt my whole experience was a bit 'meh'. The place looks tired and 'meh', the staff looked tired, the food was decent but nothing to right home about. I feel as there is SO much good food out there in Glasgow right now, Ad Lib is really starting to lag behind, so until they sort it out its gonna be an overall meh from me I'm afraid.

I thought I had written this review ages ago but somehow must have forgotten. A couple of months…read moreago I attempted to go for some food here and very quickly changed my mind. I was a fan of this chain many many years ago when it first hit Glasgow, but over time the gloss came off the city centre location as the food quality went down and the prices stayed very high. I have now not been in years. The one at the Fort has not done anything to improve my view of the chain. On entering it was very very dark inside. They seemed to have cut out all natural light. Which on a sunny day is not what you want. We got shown to our seats and I immediately started to think of an escape plan. The place was really dirty. Nasty sticky seats, sticky tables and menus caked in old food. I could not stay, we got up and left and went elsewhere for food. I can't imagine going back here, but If I did I would be taking my own antibacterial spray with me to clean up before eating. The place needs a good scrub.

Its a lot more roomy inside, has more booth seats which is always a plus and more room between tables. On a Saturday night around 6pm it wasn't too busy and we were seated straight away at one of the booths. A few bottomless soft drinks whilst we browsed the menu were brought over quickly by a super friendly waitress. The menu has the classic American diner style option, burgers, ribs, fajitas but also some pasta and tapas so there's something to suit most tastes. I opted for the veggie burger with salad instead of chips. The brioche bun was nice and sweet and I liked the fact that I got a proper size portion of salad with different leaves with dressing on the side. As for the veggie burger itself, I'm probably spoiled from having some good ones in Burger city Glasgow, it was tasty enough but not anything to write home about. My folks and sister had burgers and chicken dippers with chips or sweet potato chips, and they all thoroughly enjoyed them. My dads usually a pretty healthy eater but splashed out on one with bacon, beef and cheese which he proclaimed fantastic. No way was I passing up dessert, but from previous experiences I know the desserts can be pretty substantial so we ordered one chocolate fudge fixation cake with ice-cream with some spoons to share. I dominated the chocolate fudge ganache topping and fudge (which tastes like actual fudge) filling. It might not be healthy or particularly fine dining but it was blooming tasty. Price wise it was as you'd expect and although it might not be my top choice of venue, its somewhere I'll likely return... mmm that cake.

I'd read earlier today they were having a free craft beer tasting this coming Friday, so when I…read morewas in Shawlands this evening looking for somewhere to go for a drink I thought I'd pop along here to check it out. I just spotted the restaurant area at first on arrival and was pleased when we were offered the bar area through the back as another seating option as we'd already eaten dinner and didn't want to order food. We bought two craft beers - one by Williams Bros and one by Deeside Brewery, £3.95 each, from their craft beer fridge. I liked that this fridge was easily accessible for people to peruse and select a drink as often it can be hard in bars to get a good look at the selection behind the bar, and also it meant I could look at the labels to read the drink descriptions and ingredients. On the bar was a basket of crisps (Kettle Chips :)) and nuts priced at a £1 per bag. The Lite Bite food menu didn't have much on it that looked suitable for me (as a vegan); perhaps the veggie haggis would be ok if there was no butter in the neeps and tatties, and I spotted on the restaurant menu they also have sorbets by Porrellis, which are vegan-friendly. The toilets had a nice smell and good handdrier. :) There were two TVs, each with the volume off, showing different sports. It was really quiet tonight and as we left we were the only customers in there, possibly because it's not only a Monday but also a bank holiday. I don't mind quiet places though so that was quite nice. Would be nice if there was something on the menu to take my fancy to make me want to go back to eat, but service was good and they have a good selection of craft beers so happy to give 4 stars for somewhere to go back for drinks if I was on a night out on the southside.

I hadn't been to Munro's since the closure of the ol' Captain's Rest. It's such a complete difference. I did like the kinda dinginess of the Captain's Rest and the vibe of the place especially when there was a gig on. Alas I have been converted by the bright lights of Munro's. It looks so much bigger and there's lots of light coming in through the many big windows. The day we went it was the quarter finals of Wimbledon with Andy Murray playing, I was so pleased to see they had it on the teles when we arrived. I was super addicted and was glad to get my fix. My man had to book a table as required by the Itison deal, so I was pleased to get a good size table. The staff were really nice and helpful and explained, when I asked, what we could choose from the menu on the deal. We could choose from the burger, pizzas or hot dog. I opted for the burger, which also had mozzarella and bacon and came with chips. It was very delicious and extremely filling. I would defintiely go back and try more on their menu. It is a tad hipster but visiting on a week day night it was ok but I can imagine it gets pretty mental at the weekends. Good food and somewhere a wee bit different.

On a Wednesday night at 6, it was oddly (or not?) empty except for a couple who sat in a booth by the window and had stopped in for an early dinner before the theatre.

From there, at the wait staff's recommendation for a stick-it-to-your-ribs option, I ordered the roast pork belly with chorizo. It could have done with more fat rendering; if that had been achieved, it would have been five stars for me. From the previous reviews, you'd guess that you could watch the football here at Munro's, so initially I was disappointed I couldn't just stay and watch the Champions League semifinal. However, true to their kind hospitality, one of their staff kindly drew me a map so I could find another pub 10 minutes' walk away he recommended. Nice one!
