Waxy O'Connor's Glasgow Reviews Summary

Interior Design

Pros:

• "What a find! STUNNING interiors... just breathtaking."
• "The decor in this pub is simply amazing! I loved the layout, especially the different areas such as the library."
• "Such a fun pub experience in Glasgow. There are so many hidden rooms and the interiors are incredible, including trees, stained glass, wooden staircases and a small balcony where the live music is played from."
• "It looks like a hobbit cave or a place right off the Lord of the Ring."
• "The interior is fantastic. It is a mix of game of thrones meets lord of the rings. It has such an amazing flair."
• "This venue is a very generic pub with one big difference; the interior is something designed in the harry potter world."
• "Amazing design absolutely stunning decor music, was feel good."

Cons:

• "Despite looking like a maze it's a rather impersonal place."
• "The general appearance of this place is that it's best days are behind it."
• "If you enjoy sitting in a dimly lit plastic pub with a vague theme."
• "It's like walking into a large tree! There are multiple cozy rooms on multiple floors, roaring fires and (I think) 3 bars."
• "It has a very unique layout, it's very Lord of the Rings-ish to me."
• "Super atmospheric place with Harry potter (and the chamber of secrets) vibes."
• "One of the most unique pubs in the whole entire wide world. Looks like something out of Middle-Earth, or maybe some of the really rural bits of Scotland."

• "Worst pints ever. We had a Guinness and a pint of Heineken and it was hands down the worst pints we have ever had."
• "The atmopshere was ok, the prices are ok, we stayed for around 4 hours. The food was disgusting and ruined any inclination for us to stay there."
• "OMG the food was disgusting, the double cooked chips were burnt to a crisp, the cajun sweet potato fries were covered in pepper not cajun."

Accessibility and Layout

Pros:

• "The manager replied that there is most definitely a lift to all floors for the purposes of moving people with mobility issues to any floor."

• "Cool place with friendly staff, it's a bit of a maze but adds to the charm."
• "A quirky pub with a lovely atmosphere and real mix of folk."
• "A place not to be missed if you are visiting Glasgow. It is an unusual pub. It is quite large and gets very crowded, but it has a lot of nooks and crannies at different levels to give it a cosy feel."
• "This is without a doubt one of the strangest but coolest pubs I have ever been in."
• "Such a quirky place, the highlight of Glasgow! Six bars hidden within a maze of trees, book cases, church, cottages and more!"
