Bloc in Glasgow City

10/10 class place, decent drink price, sunday jazz and monday jam is all top tier

I hadn't been here before, but my friend that suggested we meet here definitely understood the assignment! As soon as I saw pride and Antifa flags, and punks hangout smoking, I new I was going to like the vibe. Great staff, good food, great prices!

Came here on Monday the 9th of September for a dinner with my girlfriend. She's vegetarian and they have a whole vegan/vegetarian menu which is perfect for us. My steak and chips was cooked to perfection and so was her veggie burger. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Very enjoyable overall. Waitress was great despite my mate being annoying and difficult which I scolded him for. Only issue I saw was place seemed slightly understaffed for the night which could be for any number of reasons. Would definitely go again.

Excellent venue, has been for years. Prices aren't too bad for Glasgow (these days), interesting food menu, regular live music and jam nights are a lot of fun.

Good place but done away with the Sunday deal. Big mistake tbh

Stumbled on this fabulous venue on day one and had to come back again as it was so good! Reasonably priced grub, great choices for veggies and vegans (vegan corn ribs divine) , dad loved his (meat) burger with blue cheese - and teenager enjoyed his wings etc. Friendly welcome and efficient service and the background music was 10/10 on both visits.

Very good atmosphere! The IRN Maiden poutine was amazing!

Went with a group of friends and had the Wednesday steak offer which was really good value for money. I would feel safe going there on my own as it's such a welcoming place.

First time here, fairly quiet and relaxed atmosphere, late afternoon on a Thursday. Barman was super friendly and helpful, a nice welcome as I was on my own. I order Lucky Saint 0% alcohol on draft which was a nice touch as you usually only get 0% in bottles. £5.50 a pint… I order the Thursday daily deal which was chicken in a basket for a fiver! A good deal and good food, pleased I decided to come here and I’ll definitely return next week when I’m back in Glasgow.

The vegan food is amazing, best buffalo cauliflower I have had in years and the beyond meat franks with the vegan cheese and chips...Ooft a game changer and not too dear. I hadn't had an appetite for weeks, think to my friends dismay I hoovered up most if the sharer plate..

Bloody fab spot for local bands, live music. Space is comfy with low ceilings and red lighting, it's a casual spot for great fun and music (+ late night pizza)

Got a steak deal. Tasty. Woukd Def go back.

Nice place for a drink very good food and live music . Some outdoor space too. Toilets are gender friendly and prices are good. One down side there was not much on draft beers on offer mainly bottles. Goood gigs and ipen till 3. Beard are not the strong point

Great place staff friendly great food and drink prices excellent atmosphere

Had the trash steaks. It was below mid

Popped in here for some steak frites for lunch with friends. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent prices. I mean £6 for steak and chips, and a helping of salad and sauce. Prompt service at the table, good banter with the waiter, polite service when the food arrived. Steaks cooked to perfection, two medium rares, a medium, and one well done. Thank you Bloc+ for a quick bite to eat and a great experience in 25 minutes (had to rush to get back to the office). One of the best eateries in the city.

Called up on the last ever Super Special Sunday to see if Bloc took bookings for small tables, they normally don't but so kindly fitted me and my fam visiting from abroad. I was pretty devastated over this last ever special Sunday being spent at Bloc BUT Rachel with their class customer service was amazing! Genuinely so class and so friendly. James was lovely too along with everyone's name who I didn't catch. Amazing service team<3

They were playing a long form lets play of Final Fantasy 7 on the TV screens and the portion of tater tots was vast. Excellent. Easy for my gluten free partner to see what on the menu was suitable for him.

Excellent place for a gig! The staff, sound engineers and booking agent looked after us so well and were very helpful and informative, it made the whole process really smooth and a great night for everyone! Bloc is downstairs, the restaurant was full and the food looked great, lots of friendly staff, clean facilities, they cleared some space for the gig from 9pm. It was awesome, great crowd, great sound, really good space, some seating indoors, outdoor space and tables. Bands are well looked after here. Loved it, we'll definitely be back! 5*

Good atmosphere, good selection of vegan options and good selection beers 🍻 the Durty Vegan Burger is amazing 🤘highly recommend a portion of the Vegan loaded fries, choice of versions, stsffare friendly and always on hand to take your order.

Best open mic night in town! Love their deals, too. One of my favorites.

My first visit to Bloc recommended to try by my sister, went for lunch and the macaroni cheese was the best I’ve ever had. Will definetley be back again

Great Venue and food not bad either

Went to Block Bar and Grill and it was a great date venue. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Our server Waheed was absolutely excellent! I would go back again

Super nice staff, immaculate pub, banger playlist

Staff are great, food is great as in value for money

Appalling service from some of the most uninterested and rude staff I've ever come across. Burger was also absolutely disgusting. Arrived stinking of old grease and I couldn't eat it. Absolutely repulsive. Wasn't even a smash burger or decent quality meat. One of the cheapest, fatty, gristly bits of meat I've ever eaten and the ly should be ashamed serving it. The smell was absolutely grotesque. Avoid.

Amazing quality food 😋. The cocktails weren't that great though but they are cheap. Very attentive and helpful staff 👍

Superrrr cool and I recommend it

I absolutely love Bloc+, and I have been coming here for years. The food never disappoints, and my husband and two year old loved it too! Craving the vegan hot dog again!

If I could have left no stars I would have as this restaurant doesn’t even merit 1 star. I was in here today for food with my family. Customer service was appalling one member of staff brought me the wrong soft drink and when I politely pointed this out she became aggressive, denied it, accused me of lying and kept saying I had ordered that instead of just rectifying her mistake and simply swapping the can of juice. This went back and forth for about 5/10 minutes before I actually got the correct drink. It seemed this member of staff was in a vile mood, rude, argumentative and ignorant. When I asked her could I speak to a manager she ignored me and said she ‘couldn’t deal with me’. I really couldn’t understand where all her aggression was coming from as I had only asked to swap an incorrect soft drink to the drink I had actually ordered. The service we received for the remainder of our meal was shocking, we were made to feel so unwelcome.

great friendly bar. good service. reasonably priced

If you are looking for bang for your buck this is pretty much the best menu in Glasgow city centre. The daily deals are amazing. It’s a perfect lunch spot. Portions aren’t massive but enough to fill you on a lunch or quick dinner. Just be wary not to chuck in some add on purchases as they pretty much double your bill and don’t really add value for the quality you get. It’s a pub, live music venue and eatery but I see it more of a cafe diner. It’s also an abso bargain. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, good service and cheap food! Very good music!

Great street food! Try anything with irn bru.

The restaurant was opened without a chef in the building the male manager did explain why a short wait later.....around 30 mins or so we were served a decent steak and chips very reasonably priced unfortunately I felt the atmosphere wasn't great and the service was average table not that clean and sticky. I couldn't guess who worked there as some of the staff wandering around looked like they were on a night out.

Good food at good price. Very good live music 👍

Excellent meal and atmosphere, visited with family. The bar staff are very friendly and the best

Good deal. Steak £6 and bottle of wine £10. What could be better?

food was absolutely awful and only good for the bin!!!!

Visited here with a friend of mine for the first time. Not a local but it came up with good reviews. My friend however had been before. Ordered food and drinks, took around 30 minutes to arrive, no big deal. For the price of £36 we received two cans of cider, a single burger, no side salad or fries. Just a single lone small burger. As well as 5 pieces of store bought falafel, hummus and some basic bread. The food wasn’t bad per se, just vastly overpriced and small in portion - even by Edinburgh city centre standards. My friend remarked how only a month earlier the food was way better and larger in size. Despite this, staff were great and the venue is cool. I’ll be avoiding going forward as there are plenty better options around Glasgow for the price.

Excellent service 👍 had a lovely steak chips and salad, under £10♥️

Different specials each day. We were there for burger Tuesday, for £4 each with chips. I got a portion of core slaw and some jalapeño which bumped the price up. A couple of pints and a coffee took the total for the two of us just over £20. Well worth a look in if you want some reasonable grub at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff too.

Disappointing food, everything was cold, overcooked *mac and cheese was burnt to the bottom of its dish. Had to wait 40+minutes for it after waiting about 20 to be served. Didn't really seem that busy but obviously understaffed.

Waited 30 minutes for drinks we gave up and went to the bar ourselves. Then waited 1 hour and 20minutes for food to arrive. No one updated us on the food being late or problems in the kitchen. I had to ask what was happening and we planned to leave. Finally the food came. Can’t fault the food but the slow service was really disappointing. No one asked if we wanted any more drinks which we had finished well before the food arrived. Hoping a one off cause we love the food!

The nachos were lacking any toppings and chips were cold . It's cheap enough for quick lunch.

Understaffed their priority is deliveroo orders wouldn’t waste your time or money and the smell not the nicest

Nice place, nice gig last night. Very friendly people. Live music, good venue, good people.

Food was mediocre , the staff in This place is extremely rude especially someone called ‘bendy Wendy’ food was so expensive for not even good quality meat ,bread ect definitely do Not vist HETE

Been here a few times. Food is Good. Tried the durty burger was good but we didn't like the gravy. Hotdogs are banging. The irn bru pakora was OK. Vladimir poutine chips. Definitely not worth £7.95 would definitely go back to try other things. On the menu. Staff are friendly place has a good feel to it. Please change the slaw back to the way it was.

Paid £13 for this weird hotdog that had noodles on it, and it didn’t even come with chips. Extremely disappointed. Better off going to the dirty duchess.

Great food, comfortable, friendly staff , will be back

Great venue. Free entry. Cheap Drinks + Friendly Staff. Brilliant Monthly Techno night called Noise Box.

Thursday is fried chicken day for the lunchtime special, which was delicious. Can't believe I've been working in town all these years and this is my 1st visit!

Cool place, good food, good beer, goo service. Not for everyone though 😉

Was in yesterday,place was full and buzin. Staff wer great,treated us like regulars(1st time from newcastle)burgers wer the best weve had in ages.frickles??? Mental.cant wait to come back and make a session.top drinks menu with Belgain beers.cheers

Visit at least once a week for lunch. Great selection of foods and beers (especially the vegan food).

One of favourite bars in the city for some good cheap grub, been several times and never been disappointed. Burgers, dogs, loaded fries, vegan versions of all in a unpretentious atmosphere, check it out.

Literally the number one place I head to with friends and family when I’m back, after 4 years not living in Glasgow. The English manager(?) guy is really lovely and the other staff too. Deals are banging and the peppercorn sauce is too good. It’s a real shame that there’s one female waiter who’s obviously had enough of the role. On this occasion when visiting with my partner decided to be really incredibly rude and accusatory when I had politely mentioned that my chicken was a bit tough. She walked away without replying then repeatedly told me there was nothing she could do and that I should have informed her sooner (I had only eaten a bite of it). I explained that it wasn’t a big deal, but that we didn’t have time for another to be made. She then smirked nearby avoiding us being able to ask for the bill. After 12 years in hospitality I totally understand the rage but it tends to be best to save it for rude customers who deserve it. It was all a bit embarrassing for her when she did eventually take the problem item off the bill. Again, such a shame to have one ignorant person spoil a gem, but if you can handle being spoken to nastily - the peppercorn sauce may be worth it.

Food is nice and lots of choices for gluten free but was really disappointed with the fact that there were no gluten free desserts as an option on the day even though they were on the menu.

always a treat coming here and friendly staff happy to help😊

Stays open late, so best place after midnight

Wrong Life we're like the medication 💊 I take to keep my heart going

One of the best places in Glasgow for vegan food, can't recommend enough

For an organisation which prides its self on inclusiveness and making everyone feel welcome. I was made to feel that I was nothing more than an annoyance by staff who seemed more interested in talking to their friends. I am someone who has enjoyed bloc in the past however this experience has made me think if I will be back in the organisation. Staff training is something which should be looked at as some staff could do with serious retraining. Only reason I have put 2 and 1 stars in service and atmosphere rating is because there was no option for no star rating or that is what I would have put as the service was that poor.

What do you get with £6 these days? I stake a fries with pepper sauce in this wonderful bistro I found on my trip to Glasgow. The best stake I’ve had in years!

Great service, awesome food. Brisket was incredible

Great night out. I actually enjoyed this place more than the other bars. Allot of space to dance, the drinks was well priced too. Music was great & DJ played songs to suit the people in the room. 👍I would recommend this place to my friends and would definitely come here the next time Im in Scotland. Thanks guys 😊

The food here is unique, reasonably priced and delicious. Vegan, GF, Veg all catered for. Good selection of beer/IPA too. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The decor is awesome 😎

Comfy atmosphere,good tunes,awesome staff!

Steak and chips were good Poutine didn't have any gravy! The cheese didn't even melt.

Cheap, good service and great atmosphere

Salt and chilli tater tots and fried chicken, outstanding

Gem of a place! The food selection is pretty amazing and so cheap too!!!

The food was pretty good, but the service was very slow - the staff took a while to get round to taking our orders, and the food took even longer to come out. Still, nice vibe to the place in general and always good for a pint.

Just went for drinks and it's honestly become my new favourite spot in Glasgow. Friends got some food and they wouldn't stop raving about it!

Amazing little place with very creative menu !

craig was the best speediest bar tender changed a keg and i didn’t even notice !

Highly recommend the corn ribs and the sauce is great to dip your frickles in. Service is fantastic and the staff are helpful. The atmosphere is fun for a date night or meeting with friends.

I was looking for a place with vegan food and had a lovely surprise. I had a vegan hot dog for just £5, good options for beers, a great atmosphere with everyone dancing and laughing. The waiter is excellent; he talked to us three times. He's a very good guy. I hope I can come back someday to Bloc+.

Good food, good prices and a nice atmosphere. Just wish you were served a wee bit quicker, especially at lunchtime when time is tight.

Brilliant night out live music. Food is good.

I absolutely LOVE this place was here a few years ago and then could never remember how to get back decided to look it up on Google maps and went for lunch the food is just as good as I remember it and the atmosphere is still busy whilst chilled. Best place for affordable food. They have a great menu for both the meat lovers and the vegan lovers. Can't wait to get back to Glasgow again and hopefully get more people to try it out. Keep up the amazing work all at Bloc+

Fantastic food as always...service always 5*

Fabulous venue with the loveliest staff and best cosy atmosphere. Diverse range of nights, cannot fault it! ❤️

Great place for students and cool kids.

Steak Wednesday is insane. £5 for a sirloin steak, chips and peppercorn sauce.

Went a few weeks ago for dinner. Waited around 15 mins before our food order was taken (it wasn’t too busy). We made it quite obvious we were ready to order by placing our menus down in a pile, the usual restaurant etiquette, and tried to catch a member of staff’s attention, before having to explicitly ask to order food. The guy that served us was friendly, but not the best. We were a table of 4, and said he would remember our orders (burgers and chicken), and at the end said ‘ah wait I’ll need to get the ipad’. Not great. Food was decent enough. The thing that really put us off was the female server (dark hair, quite short), who really looked like she really couldn’t be arsed at all, no smile or friendliness and seemed really inconveniced to be honest, and practically chucked our food on the table. When we got the bill at the end, we asked for a couple of minutes to work out who owed what. We were busy chatting and she came back and said ‘have yous still not worked it out?!’ Totally snide. We were quite taken aback by her rudeness. Have been to Bloc loads times over the years, but the poor service on this occasion has lost our custom. Ashame, as I did really like this place.

If this wasnt a basement bar id have given it a 5⭐️ The service was spot on, atentive but not overbearing. The menu was creative instead of your run of the mill pub grub. Decenr beers and a few cocktails, the ones we had were nice. The food was really tasty, mac and cheese wasnt exactly creamy but it tasted good the bao buns and brisket were fantastic and the portions were on the big side, id happily come back for a few more beers and to try some other stuff off the menu

Great food, service and place is awesome thanks!!

The gf options are great and tasty and good, the service is friendly and efficient,

Always our favourite in Glasgow

Person at the door only interested in women with short skirts. Refused entry to just order food saying ‘not tonight lads’ (myself snd one pal) and then immediately let a couple of young ladies in not 5 seconds later. At the mercy of the ego of the bouncer if you get the chance to try this place.

Tasty food at a reasonable price by city centre standards served by the eclectic and friendly staff.

Always go for the deal of the day, it's great value and the food is top quality, highly recommend.

I don’t think I’ll be rushing back. We ordered two vegan fried “chicken” meals that are the Thursday special. They came and were real chicken. When we asked for it to be changed, the waiter was friendly and a bit apologetic but obviously there was no urgency on the fact they had given us the wrong food as we waited for the replacements for the same amount of time we did for the original meal. When the replacements came, it was obvious that fresh chips had not been made and had instead sat in the cold while the correct food was made. The girl that brought over the replacements was so rude as well, slammed the food on the table and didn’t bother asking if we wanted anything else. The seitan “chicken” was dry and chewy with little flavour. Overall, not very impressed and won’t be rushing back. Used to come here a lot but it’s gone downhill.

Went for lunch with friends. The food is really good, which is why we went. But the service is some of the most awful I’ve experienced. Non existent even though they tell you to sit down & they’ll come over. No one came to take our food order for 20 minutes & only did when I had to go to the bar to ask for a drink. We could see the staff members chatting to their friends instead or going outside for a vape while we sat there waiting for someone to come over for our order. One staff member was incredibly rude & sullen. Not friendly in any way, shape or form & treats you like an inconvenience. I really loved bloc in the past, the service & staff have always been friendly & great. But it’s far from that now. If it hadn’t been for the really nice food we’d have just left & went somewhere else because the attitude towards customers has become diabolical now. So sorry we interrupted your social event with your friends by wanting to come in for some lunch. How dare we.

Locale perfetto per noi italiani dato che la cucina rimane aperta anche sul tardi. Camerieri simpatici e gentili, posto non pulitissimo ma cibo buono. Direi un pub caratteristico giovanile dove passare una bella serata in amicizia. Hanno un menù identico al normale interamente per vegani. Ampia selezione di alcolici locali e molto economico.

Good food and drinks in a nice atmosphere.
