Cons:

• "Some of the beers were fantastic, one session IPA stands out in particular. There were also some that nobody in our group could drink - a couple of very sour light-coloured beers."
• "Disappointed, far from freshest beer in Glasgow, own brewed beer is truly awful."
• "Nice selection of beers, but beers made in site are lacking of quality, IPA absolutely full of diacetyl."
• "Beers are good, especially craft beers but it was tooo much for a cider."
• "Prices are way above other craft beer pubs for the same beer."

• "Pizzas are nice."
• "The pizzas and dripping sauces were amazing."

• "Plus a number of different vegan/veggie pizza choices!"
• "The pizza surpassed our expectations - the base was really tasty."

Cons:

• "Our pizzas came very spread out meaning some of the group were completely finished while others still had to wait another 15-20 minutes for anything to arrive."
• "If we had accepted the 8 pizzas we would have essentially overpaid by £82."
• "It's a bit lacking in food options."
• "Our group came in for a pizza - half our party ordered and 30 seconds later the other half were told they couldn’t get pizza."
• "They left half the group without dinner."
• "The pizzas were edible but the dips on offer were out of a large pre-bought squeezy bottle, which I found disappointing."
• "Nice bar, nice wine (and beer apparently) but when ordering food half our table ordered (at the bar) but the other half were told ‘the kitchen is closed’."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Great place and reasonable prices for the location."
• "Nice ambient and background musics."
• "Such a good vibe."
• "Hands down the best place we found for good local brewery beer in Glasgow."
• "Beautiful bar architecture, owing to the building formerly being a bank (the toilets are in the old bank vaults)."
• "Nice atmosphere, relatively quiet and chilled out."
• "Very spacious with hip decor."

Cons:

• "Music was way to loud, could not have a decent conversation with anyone."
• "The incessant branding being projected onto the walls is annoying."
• "Music was super loud and no sound dampening throughout the room so you're basically yelling."
• "Family unfriendly."
• "They seem to have now hidden the prices."
• "Great selection in terms of beers and an interesting venue but with the music cranked up uneccesarily loud."
• "Do not book to watch the Rugby World Cup. No commentary and the projected screen could not be seen from the allocated table despite specifying in the booking. Staff were totally indifferent to any concerns raised."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "Booked as we thought it seemed like a good deal."
• "4 third glasses for a fiver is also good value."
• "Prices are fair considering the quality of the beer and the location of the pub."
• "The price was very affordable, students have 50% off pizza from sun to thurs whole day."
• "Prices reasonable considering that it's a trendy city centre bar."
• "Special offer of a £5 pizza 12 ‘til 5 is a good one."
• "Option to choose a flight of 4 from £7 upwards."

Cons:

• "Bought one cider. It costs 10 pound…"
• "4 stars because the drinks can be pretty overpriced at times - £12.50 for a perfect pour gin was eye-watering."
• "I think it is very expensive. Nearly six pounds for most of the beers."
• "Drinks were extortionate."
• "We had paid £348 all in for this meal, so taking into account it was sold to us as a pizza buffet, arrival drink and 2 drinks tokens this immediately made no sense."
• "Bar staff were rude. Booked a table here and when arrived with a party of 12 people they gave table away."
• "Beers are good, especially craft beers but it was tooo much for a cider."
