Little pricey can't lie £6.25 for a pint of Innis and Gunn and £4 for a cranberry juice a bit too much but can't expect less on the main part of the city. But highly recommended if you wanna watch football for sure.

An "ok" pub. Servers were not very friendly or helpful - a small example: they didn't know what the "soup of the day" was. Tables and floor were 'sticky' from food/drinks residue and obviously not thoroughly cleaned. Mens' washroom not clean. We won't be repeat customers.

Just regular. They didn't have the meat on the menu. The burgers are not bad. The one with blue cheese is pretty good. You have to order food at the bar and pay for it when ordering. He asks you if you tip, but how are you going to tip before you know what the service is like? And, furthermore, if you have to order at the bar, the service is reduced to having the food brought to your table. And the worst of all. They placed us under a huge TV, and they were broadcasting the IPS-LIV match. With a Liverpool fan, dressed in his shirt, behind us screaming like a madman every time (2 times) his team scored a goal. And, furthermore, other people looked at us badly, because we covered part of the screen. It's a pub.

Welcome non-existent and not at all friendly, the waiter is anything but smiling. You pay first, and you are served: uncooked, bland and cold vegetables, plus they don't give you the cutlery, you have to look for them yourself, without a word of apology! Frankly, to avoid!!

On Nov 3,2024 My husband & I were visiting from the USA and were dropped off near this pub at the end of an all day tour and told it was a short walk to our hotel. We were having difficulty determining which way to walk as it was an unfamiliar area, very dark & rainy, and street signs are extremely hard to locate on sides of buildings. We decided to stop at this Pub for a drink & something to eat, after which we’d get a taxi ride to hotel. The bartender greeted us. We found the pub to be very nice. Food was good. We watched a football game between Chelsea & Manchester. Great experience. But when we asked the bartender to please call us a taxi she told us they “have a policy NOT to call taxis for customers”. I told her we were unfamiliar with the area and didn’t feel comfortable trying to find our hotel on foot. She reiterated the policy of not calling taxis for customers. I asked her if she could give us a phone number and she said “0132-777-7777” or something close. I asked her the name of the pub because I didn’t see it anywhere. She said “just tell them Shandwick Place”. I tried calling and it went to an automated menu that did not work for taxi service. I thought maybe it was my phone so tried again on my husband’s phone. It didn’t work either. I asked the bartender if I needed to dial a prefix or something since our phones are based in US. She just repeated the number. I asked her what I was supposed to do and she offered no reply. My husband & I left feeling some anxiety and very disappointed at the experience. We tried using Google Maps to direct us to our hotel, the Mercure, a 15 minute walk from the Grosvenor IF you know where you’re going. It took us much longer and the faulty navigation due I guess to weather and tall buildings kept reversing itself. Not being able to see street signs made it worse and people we asked didn’t know what street we were on & were unable to help. We ended up off the main roads where we were the only ones walking except an occasional man here or there, in the dark, and I became frightened. My husband is 80 years old. We eventually came across a street name I recognized from earlier in the day, no thanks to the navigation app, and finally stumbled upon our hotel. It took a beautiful day of touring, a lovely pub experience, and soured it with a frightening experience. It could have easily been different if only the bartender had been more helpful.
