  • I’m going to say Sloans. It’s a nice old building and all, when it’s nice and busy on a Friday night it’s sound. But the price of the pint really doesn’t match the service, atmosphere, choice or experience. by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 15th Sep 2022 10:39pm)

  • Have to point out that other places say “get to fuck” and “did you aye” or “yeah no bother pal” It’s just that everything sounds better with Glasgow accent and people are just less serious than down south. by sympathyforthestrawb (Sat 1st Oct 2022 7:25am)
  • Check out Money Matters by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 13th Oct 2022 7:50pm)
  • Nothing works anymore, it’s just one thing after another. Glasgow feels very stagnant too. It’s a hard time, I live in shawlands and they reckon it’s a cool Place to live, I can tell you, it’s boring as anything. Nothing happens here and there’s either alccy pubs or swanky bars that are overpriced with no atmosphere. Just dull. by sympathyforthestrawb (Fri 14th Oct 2022 5:37pm)

  • Great response thanks, I’m sorry if I sounded grumpy about the youth. I guess I see a lot of folk sending snapchats to each other in public whilst doing that vague smile pout thing and I can’t quite deal with it. I will work on my priorities and remain positive by sympathyforthestrawb (Wed 26th Oct 2022 7:46pm)
  • Rain isn’t depressing. To me it’s way more comforting and inspiring than dry heat. Windy shorty days are hard work but rain in general is sound. by sympathyforthestrawb (Mon 31st Oct 2022 11:56am)

  • Some people prefer there to be no chat between staff and customer. When I worked there I enjoyed that too. Sometimes a quiet place with good food is just what you want. They aren’t miserable they are just content by sympathyforthestrawb (Sun 6th Nov 2022 2:30pm)

  • That cunt just sits there now with the cats round him eating a piece and Dairylee, he doesn’t even play tunes anymore and people still watch by sympathyforthestrawb (Wed 25th Jan 2023 5:42pm)
  • Most places in Glasgow are owned by the worst people ever unless they are independent, I always ask if they take a tip at the end of a shift: but if the food was shite and the service was shite then I wouldn’t leave fuck all, or even pay. by sympathyforthestrawb (Wed 25th Jan 2023 5:46pm)
  • Not true one bit. Glasgow has a high bar for cleanliness in pubs. The JStirling is a dive by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 2nd Feb 2023 6:36pm)
  • The Quaich not even getting a mention and best Guinness in Shawlands both pour and price. The punters let it down by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 2nd Feb 2023 6:34pm)

  • It’s worse now it’s full of folk wearing ill fitting trousers and dungarees. Lining up for coffee and brunch discussing their dogs bowl movements after yoga at the bandstand by sympathyforthestrawb (Sat 11th Feb 2023 8:57pm)
  • Enjoy your pig face gelatine snacks and samosa combo. by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 14th Feb 2023 6:54am)
  • Shame Phillies is so expensive, sometimes it’s a bit of a dull vibe too cause folk sit with one drink for ages. I do like the place I just wish people mixed in there a bit, it’s perfect to go with pals but you will only interact with the people you go with and the bar staff who will be at your table before you have finished your drink. by sympathyforthestrawb (Sun 19th Feb 2023 8:56am)
  • Nobody eats this by sympathyforthestrawb (Sun 19th Feb 2023 10:25pm)
  • If they didn’t have bbc 1 on the tv every day for no reason I would maybe get a pint here every now and then but it’s soul-less and unorganised. by sympathyforthestrawb (Wed 22nd Feb 2023 8:43am)
  • Ace, thought corona was closing by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 23rd Feb 2023 7:32pm)
  • Great answer by sympathyforthestrawb (Thu 23rd Feb 2023 7:30pm)
  • This is true, the trend is over. I avoid getting my haircut and just let my mrs do it. It’s all just fake gentleman experience bull shit to make it more expensive. Your market research wasn’t thorough by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 28th Feb 2023 7:45am)
  • Yeah he seems to have “memories” of stuff that likely happened once then expects everyone else to remember them by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 28th Feb 2023 7:52am)

  • No, I’ll give them a knock next time might get involved by sympathyforthestrawb (Wed 1st Mar 2023 4:00pm)
  • Salt n Vinegar in shawlands is so bad and overpriced. Catch is great but it’s posh style. I’m from Yorkshire and lived here 7 years still to have a chippy that is decent. Had one in Burnside years ago that was decent but still just not hitting the spot. I’ve given up trying now by sympathyforthestrawb (Sun 5th Mar 2023 1:48pm)
  • Definitely not by sympathyforthestrawb (Mon 6th Mar 2023 4:47am)
  • The fact you can get fish chips and a pint in the Granary down the road for 7.00 and it’s a really good fish and chips by sympathyforthestrawb (Mon 6th Mar 2023 1:33pm)
  • No but I will by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 7th Mar 2023 8:39am)
  • It’s not 2 quid dearer it’s 7 quid with a pint which makes it 3.60 on top of the 4.20 pint. Maybe it’s because SnV is so busy that they don’t allow the chips to sit long enough that I feel the chips are always too bright in colour and just undercooked. The fish tastes fresh I agree but the batter has no flavour or character. People like different things from a chippy so it’s preference. Also I just prefer a real chippy instead of a poly box situation with watered down vinegar. Just do it old school and do it right. The paper adds to the way the food sweats after it’s wrapped. That’s a good thing, the vinegar should be straight from the bottle it’s bought in not decanted and watered down. by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 7th Mar 2023 8:37am)
  • Trust me, it’s so good. Always piping hot and always crispy batter / mushy peas on the side and tartar sauce, it’s not chippy style it’s pub style but for the price it’s ridiculously good. by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 7th Mar 2023 5:33pm)
  • Dows across from queen street serve a great pint but the walls are sticky and the toilet is one of the worst ones in glasgow, although it does have a baby change table in the middle of the bogs opposite the urinals by sympathyforthestrawb (Sat 1st Apr 2023 4:24pm)

  • Will be using them by sympathyforthestrawb (Tue 22nd Aug 2023 12:38pm)
  • I passed my test in June and I’ve been shocked since, so many fuckers staring at their phones whilst actually driving forward in a built up area, so many people run reds even taxi drivers, nobody has any patience when you are trying to park or are merely doing the speed limit, people get so angry at cyclists. It’s a shame by sympathyforthestrawb (Sat 9th Sep 2023 9:10pm)
  • Pretty difficult bike to sell on without you spotting it. Also not an easy bike to strip and sell for parts, weird that someone would steal this just hope it’s not some idiot who’s nicked it to trash it and you get it back. by sympathyforthestrawb (Sat 9th Sep 2023 10:16pm)
