I loved this pub. It’s a real dump but has great atmosphere. Reasonably priced beer. Original cast iron Victorian era pillars. Not tarted up. Genuine Glasgow local.

Staying near by and thought we would go for drink.my friend had been before so thought it would be ok. Apparently not !!! On opening the door at 8:00pm we were met by an angry bar man who shouted at us “I thought I had locked that door how did you get in ?? “ before replying we immediately felt intimidated as up to 10 people were staring at us in an unpleasant manner. The bar man told us one drink and leave. We decided to not take him up on his offer as we felt embarrassed and to a point we were actually a bit afraid. We left with apologies from bar man. However a regular followed us and tried to defuse the situation as he could tell we were very upset. He invited us back in and apologised. Which is not a customers job !! Obviously a local bar for locals only not very welcoming. To make matters worse we walked across to the strathduie bar to be met with exactly the same hostility !! A closed bar which was actually full of customers. Holiday ruined !! Sad state of affairs. I am a bar maid and I welcome all manner of people at all hours of the day. Not the bars fault obviously just horrible people

Popped in to watch the Celtic game v heart's. Plenty of 📺 TVs to watch any sport. 4 drinks one cola as they had no irn bru (hence a star off) £20 . The warm welcome from the staff was genuinely appreciated. Young chap with the beard , think he was from Australia,was always on hand to see if everything was OK. The Guinness was lovely and poured well ,not rushed. We we certainly be back again, sadly the toilets are a bit of a trek downstairs (a star off) . That said, we all liked the vibe.

Went downhill over the past few years, couldn't believe the state of the place, you'd think as it's in Glasgow's Merchant City they'd have tarted it up a bit...suppose its always been an old man's pub though. Not impressed. 2 and a half stars.

Came in with my fiancée as we recently got engaged the previous night. I told the bar staff our good news and straight after was told to leave the bar. We had no drink whatsoever before this, add to this my partner is a police officer and was on call. All we wanted was a non alcoholic drink but still told to leave the second I said we got engaged the night before. I have autism and struggle with my communication/speech so I can only assume 1) I wasn’t the right fit for the bar. 2) our sexuality or 3) as we didn’t want alcohol we weren’t bringing in enough money. Regardless it is unbelievable how we were treated. We done absolutely nothing wrong but walk in. Will never be back and will let everyone know this going forward!!

The bar tenders attitude was an absolute disgrace. When faced with a busy bar which it took an age to get served and people pushing in, when asked to be served next his attitude was nothing short of insulting. I will never set foot in this bar again. I have never been spoken to in that way by someone who serves the public before.

I have no idea what these people are reviewing but it's not the same pub I've been in. What food? What atmosphere? + apart from Lucy the young girl the rest are rude + the boss Mary leaves you waiting for a drink (unless ur a regular) while she collects glasses she doesn't need. She also lies so, watch out for that, she likes embarrassing u + gets a kick out of ur being uncomfortable. That's the absolute facts, beware! I'd give - * if I cld.

Popped in here while at the mechant city festival, as we were fed up getting ripped off at the festival. £5 for a pint of lager in a dirty wee lane out of a plastic tumbler! Anyway the bar staff in the black bull were customer friendly. There was a karaoke and the ladies were happy to let us get up to sing. Thanks for a memorable evening Black Bull.

This ,is a very small Bar with reasonable drinks prices and good service. There is Karaoke but as the premises is so small it is difficult to see and join in.

Tried to visit this bar on saturday 27th may to watch the scottish final and have a good day out in glasgow with family and friends .All bars in merchant city area where bursting full so we decided lets try here but as we entered we where told that no celtic fans where welcome so we about turned and left shaking our heads .This pub truly has shown how bigoted it is and how sad the people who run it must be . I would therefor like to say if you wear green you are not welcome .sad sad people

I was in today at lunch with my daughter. I was waiting on a skinny latte, I asked again for the skinny latte and the girl Maria went to her colleagues to moan about me as I was standing right there! I called her out and said that was shocking to openly talk about a customer, she said sorry! I asked to speak to a Manager she said not one here. I'm appaauld by that behaviour. I was also embarrassed.

Delicious freshly made scone with Butter and Jam and superb Vanilla Latte (Mum had an amazing Mueille Feuille) cake. Lovely friendly, helpful staff who were engaging and couldn't do enough to help us. It's also great for people like one of our family members who use a wheelchair. We had never been before and had a great experience.
