First stop on my wife, Dianne, and I's date. Two pints of Furstenburg, please. No problem sir. Back to the 80's in a pint. Fabulous! While we were in the 80's, we had two pints of Red Stripe as well. Bringing back our early days, cheers . Brilliant staff, brilliant service, brilliant beer. Bravo Service: 5/5
Came for food and drinks before going to the comedy show downstairs. Felt a very welcoming atmosphere as soon as I came in. The pub was pretty busy but still managed to get served quickly with great service. The show was hilarious, such a great space downstairs and ran smoothly. We ended up staying in the pub for a while after the show as we loved it so much. Bar staff are tremendous. Will definitely be returning, highly recommend.
Walking into Blackfriars of Bell St felt like stepping into a scene where everything was just a little off. The atmosphere was chaotic, with bar staff looking stressed and directionless, as if they were trying to manage a situation that had long since spiraled out of control. The music was unreasonably loud, which didn't help matters. It felt like they were trying to drown out the chaos with volume. The food—while decent—didn’t quite hit the mark. The menu was limited, and what was served in Just Eat boxes from Nonna’s felt out of place in a setting like this. Eating from cardboard containers doesn’t exactly scream “welcome to a great night out.” And when the NFC menu on the table didn’t work, it just added another layer of frustration. As someone who’s worked in hospitality, I couldn't help but notice some concerning details. The bar itself was cluttered, and even more troubling were the partially open bottles left sitting out. That’s not just sloppy—it’s unprofessional and raises questions about hygiene and quality control. Service wasn’t much better. Despite giving our booking name multiple times, we were vaguely directed to our seats with a point from behind the bar. It was clear that the staff were overwhelmed and uncoordinated, with everyone trying to stay afloat amidst the chaos. The live show had potential, but even that experience was tarnished by disorganization. Instructions were shouted through a small stairway, and guests were crammed into every available space, including seats awkwardly placed against the walls. The room felt claustrophobic, made worse by the lack of ventilation that turned the space into a sauna. It’s a shame because the act was brilliant—11/10. But the venue itself is in desperate need of attention. With the recent closure of the Metropolitan, Blackfriars should be stepping up, not stepping back. If they want to stay in the game, they need to address these issues—starting with cleanliness, organization, and basic hospitality standards.
I went to this bar as I needed to rest a bit as it was my first day in Glasgow and I’d been walking around a lot 1st August 2024. It was very quiet nobody in the pub at the time but the music and atmosphere was still amazing. I ordered one of the new sandwiches with fries but was told it could not be accommodated due to how they were produced. But that was okay as I ended up having the margarita pizza instead with fries and it was so good the service was quick the staff member on shift was so lovely and accommodating and he helped me make choices on what food to have. It definitely feels like a really good pub and will definitely be coming back any time I’m in Glasgow now.
Went at the weekend for a comedy show, the show was great and in an ideal setting! After the show we stayed for drinks to enjoy the live music in the pub cause the atmosphere was great. Ended up ordering food and the bar staff were so helpful and friendly, got a salt and chilli hot dog - 10/10Food: 5/5
Had such a good night in here. Left four almost finished drinks and went out for a smoke and came back in to a very apologetic Chris and Liam, they were so lovely. We laughed and said it was completely fine but they poured us fresh pints! Genuinely very kind guys and very quick service and friendly service! Definitely going back x
Staff working hard on a Saturday . Very busy . Music could have been a bit lower as everyone was having to shout ., but it's a good pub with plenty of quiz nights and music and something on most nights . Did not try foodService: 4/5
Stopped in for a couple of pints, nice place.Service: 5/5
Traditional Scottish pub. Slightly more expensive than it’s neighbours and not as warm and inviting as it could be. Outside seating area a bonus and step free access for those less able. Pub quiz Tuesdays and pizzas provided by the well known locale Nonna Said
Didn't eat, went for a comedy show. Great atmosphere! Lovely staff! Lucky enough to see David Duffy singing songs as well! Great fun place, be going there on a Sunday afternoon more often!Service: 5/5
