Leaving the pub to go to their own house and coming back again ????? Unbelievable customer service , unfortunately this member of staff let's the pub down with her terrible, appalling attitude ! Even a customer was disgusted with her attitude and left !!! Well won't be giving them my custom anymore , plenty other better establishment's to have a quiet drink in without hassle from a barmaid with MAJOR chip on her shoulder !! Also seems to have an ageism problem saying to young adults " what you drinking in here for , it's an old man's pub " ! Kept changing her reasons to why she was justifying throwing out people for no good reason , stating " She's a scheme bird from Castlemilk " !!And ????

Today we were coming back from a day out and had hunger pains We arrived 15 minutes early but were seated right away. We received excellent service and hospitality.

(We found a spot upstairs. Our bartender was quite knowledgeable in the extensive collection and guided us to a good choice.

That got us to a Duich Moss dram...heavily peated (just the way I like it) from Islay...a great choice for one of our last whiskeys in Scotland. If you like Scotch Whiskey, you can certainly get it any and everywhere in Scotland...but this place is a true Scotch lovers' destination...the selection is unrivaled, and you'll find yourself in a great, historic atmosphere to enjoy it. Don't skip this 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. Whether you're a seasoned whisky nerd or just looking to experience the local vibe, this is the spot. Pull up a stool (if you can find one) and enjoy a proper Scottish night out

I haven't sampled the food so can't comment on that, but for a good night out, it's hard to beat the Village Inn. At weekends there is always live music, which can vary in style and indeed quality, but there is always a good atmosphere and it's usually very busy. The pub is open till 1am at the weekend and unlike some other places nearby, they aren't desperate to take your drink from you two minutes after serving it at last orders. A true local community pub, they have special Christmas dinners for pensioners and a book swap. This places comes highly recommended.

This pub used to be known as more of a traditional 'old man's pub' but in recent years has become very popular with the younger generation. It is traditional in decor and style and has a bar wih an adjoining lounge for karioke or live music. We had very plesent lunch; i went for a chicken curry which was nice enough. It came with chips and rice, and the potion was waaay too big! Good for a hungry shopper though. It was really quiet with minimal background noise except for the jukebox when we went, which was a nice oasis from the busy shopping centre.

The owners when I worked there, sold up and moved to Portugal, and the new owners didn't want me. It's changed hands quite a few times in the last twenty-eight years and is now owned by the same guy that owns the Village Inn (I think ). It's all been re-arranged downstairs and there is now a longer L-shaped bar with a pool table where the cellar used to be. There are six televisions of varying sizes around the pub. All the popular football games are shown, but, the place is mobbed when Rangers are playing. I wouldn't suggest going in and cheering a Celtic goal when there's an Old Firm Game on. This is the pub that Ally McCoist drank in with all his young pals when he was 18. The staff are all very good at serving and will even go and find you a bowl to give the dog a drink. Children are not allowed in, it doesn't do food, but you are allowed to take your dog in. Overall, quite a friendly pub. The staff don't really smile a lot, but they are happy to see you, (I think )

The Calderwood Inn, found funnily enough in Calderwood, East Kilbride, is a pub I have known all my…read morelife. It is a two-minute walk from my Gran's and I would pass by it numerous times when up visiting her as a kid. As a curious child I used to wonder what it was like inside, since it was impossible to see into, but I recently went for only the second time since turning 18 and it didn't disappoint. The Calderwood is a fairly standard Scottish pub, but it has been spruced up since my last visit and has gone from what I as a kid envisaged as a dingy, grubby local into a classy pub/bar that could as well be in the centre of Glasgow, were it not for the fact that the patrons were predominantly local middle-aged men enjoying a drink with each other before they walked home . Flatscreen TVs line the walls, and as it was midweek match-night I enjoyed a pint of Tennent's to the football, meanwhile a pool table was constantly in use by the loud and merry locals. By chance two brothers whom my dad remembered from school came in and asked if the inn held functions, as unfortunately their dad had recently passed away, and were informed by the warm and friendly barwoman that the Calderwood certainly does do services upstairs, another pleasant surprise for me and another reminder that my previous impression of the inn was misguided. I was pleased to learn that my Grandpa's and dad's old local was not as I had always assumed: a dark and dingy pub inhabited by men afraid of sunlight, but an elegant pub/bar that I would happily frequent again and again.

Every time I visit someone always engages you in a random conversation. Staff are great.

There's vegetarian options and being lactose intolerant, there were lots of meals on the menu that I could choose from. The staff are lovely and were very good dealing with everyone's requests at my dinner party. Sometimes they have bands come in at play at the weekend which certainly brings in a crowd.

It's a fine, 300-year-old, stone-built inn, that sits above a weir and just before a tall, ancient bridge. Inside it's just as you'd hope such a place would be, the eager staff will even regale you with the story of the "Black Lady". She comes in some times, and they even hold seances so you can communicate with her! The beer choices are acceptable, not great, the food menu though is more interesting. Two of us picked langoustines with charred bread and a garlic butter, for - I think - about £6. Obviously we expected either tiny ones or a couple of medium ones, but no, there were four pretty large langoustines for that price and there were no complaints about the flavours either! Almost astonishing value. I went metro-retro for the main and opted for the lasagne. It was a nice lasagne, cheesy, firm and with plenty of mince, not quite as mother would make it but everyone likes theirs differently, and she was a very fine, qualified cook. It had more cheddar than parmesan, but I love rich food so it was no problem to me and I may well have it next time.
