Browns Bar & Brasserie in Glasgow City

Browns is a yearly Christmas treat the ambience is so Christmassy and we love to relax with a cocktail. However this year was a let down, obviously short staffed - dirty tables and dirty glasses loaded at the end of the bar - no Christmas atmosphere whatsoever and cocktails not nicely presented nor in correct glasses

Improvement to quality of food , cleanliness of toilets and staff approach towards customer required as a matter of urgency.

My daughters and I had an amazing meal at Browns last night. We all had the braised blade of beef which was perfectly cooked and delicious. The dessert of salted caramel profiteroles was also really good although there was no sign of the fresh berries which it mentions on the menu. Our meal was made even better by our server, Jill, who was friendly, very funny but also professional. We will definitely be back.

The restaurant is perfectly located on south side of George Square however the food let it down on our visit. Starters were all ok although the crab and avocado came out looking like a paste rather than fresh avocado and crab but the mains were questionable. The sea bass risotto came as a small portion is chorizo risotto and two slices of fish on top so more like fish and rice. The roasted cod and salsa verde was dry (assume sitting under a heat lamp). Profitter rolls were counted in chocolate rather than dark chocolate poured over them and finally there wasn’t a choice of port to accompany the choice of cheese. When questioned, the waiter said he never recommends the cheese? At £70/head for a party of 8 and service automatically added I feel very let down.

We have been to Browns previously and it was always lovely. The venue is really nice and comfortable. The staff are always nice and engaging, the food delicious. However on this occasion the food was lacking. The starter - Traditional Oak-Smoked Salmon, Clementine & Honey, Dill, rye bread. 3 small strips of salmon, no dill taste and barely there vinaigrette. I wanted the beef for lunch however found out that the gravy was cooked with celery which I can't eat. This was not mentioned on the menu itself but on a separate page if you went looking. I had to settle for the turkey, which I did not enjoy. Thankfully my husband enjoyed his meal as it was his birthday though the crackling was rock hard and could not be eaten. The deserts were delicious. The waiting staff did apologise and offered me something else but I didn't see the point.

Came to browns to have lunch with my sister, and our waiter Steven made sure we had an amazing experience. I had the smoked salmon to start and the haddock fishcakes as a main, which blew me away! Great atmosphere, food, and wonderful service, thank you Steven!

Very good service and food. Nice setting and decorations. Our server Steven was very good. Nice setting near George Square.

Very nice meal. Wine was nice. Great service and recommendations from our server Mihai. Would definitely go back again.

Visited Brows in Glasgow last week to try out their breakfast/brunch offering. The restaurant area was fairly quiet but there was still a pleasant ambience. My server was Michael and he was very welcoming and friendly. I chose the Eggs Benedict with extra toast on the side, together with coffee. Michael asked if I also wanted tap water and I agreed. The eggs were very tasty, and soft, just how I like them. The only downside was that the food could have been a bit hotter. Afterwards, Michael checked if I wanted anything else and I had another coffee. Overall this was a pleasant experience and I would do it again. It was certainly good to meet staff who appeared to enjoy what they were doing rather than just going through the motions. Good customer service does make a difference.

Had a lovely meal out with great and friendly service from Eilisa, and delicious food as well. Blade of beef was definitely a good choice :)

Amelie was our server and she was excellent. Recommended a cherry spitfire which is new on the menu and 10/10 would recommend. Attentive, helpful, friendly - but also very human and real, you can tell she is good at her job and enjoys it. Great chat even when we were clearly quite tipsy! Been here a few times and it is always a treat - good cocktails, lovely ambience, toilets nice and clean, good tunes.

Booked while staying over as it wasn’t far from our hotel, service was good, food was delicious & the cocktails were great. Had a lovely evening @ would definitely eat here again

Birthday celebration lunch for 18. Well done to all the staff for providing excellent service. We never felt rushed and food was good. Thanks to all the team in particular Elle, your a star!!

Dinner today was amazing as always! I’ve never come to browns and been served up anything less than perfect! Food was amazing yet again. Browns is my no.1 favourite place to eat with family and has been for years. Our server Gill was wonderful today, making us giggle and right there with a smile whenever we needed anything!

Fabulous impromptu dinner with family - Jill was a great waitress and really looked after us all. We will be back again! :)

Expensive but food better than average quality. Scallops and Camembert great. A couple items not available including the Sauternes desert wine. Service good. Ambience nice.

Expensive Pub Grub! Had the Xmas Set meal. Turkey was like shoe leather, portions not worth the money. When asked by the waiter how was your meal, and he clearly seen I hadn’t eaten the Turkey! I showed him the leather meat and his response was that’s why I do a sweep and ask if everything is okay! I replied by the time I turned my head you had gone, he just laughed and shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I’ve had better pub meals for a fraction of what they charge. Won’t return as his attitude was crap! On telling my friends in work, the ones who have eaten here agreed that the food is overpriced and they have had the same experience

Great ambience and amazing staff. Server was funny and charming! We had the Christmas menu, and it was even better than expected. I had the beef and it was melt in the mouth. Absolutely loved the piano.

Lunch with family on Hogmanay. Great service, pleasant atmosphere and great food. Enjoyed everything.

Great evening with friends. Nice, stylish establishment with a great selection of dishes to suit all tastes and budget. Friendly, attentive service (except we waited far too long at the entrance to be shown to our table). Food and portions were good and tasty. Great wine selection. Would recommend.

Average food, close to a Wetherspoons quality , rude patronising staff , with cheap wine dressed up as expensive wine. Very disappointing experience and never to be repeated.

Having used the excellent Brown's in Edinburgh a few times, and being a Glaswegian I tried the George Square glasgow one. The decor and seating is certainly not up to the Edinburgh standard. The menu is fairly good and the serving staff are friendly. The food itself was also good. The waiting times for the food to appear was excessive. With every apology we were asked if we wanted to order another drink.looked a bit of a format! Also, the toilets could do with regular cleaning checks. Sadly, hard to put a finger on it, but doesn't reach the level of somewhere charging as they do.

Visited here for Christmas dinner 2023. Welcomed on our arrival and we’re seated and drinks order taken quickly. Service was amazing. Extremely busy but it did not affect the service or quality of food. Christmas dinner was really lovely. Came toasting hot and order was exactly what we picked. The good quality was really high and we all enjoyed our choices. The portions were extremely generous and our server, Micheal was incredible. Thank you for making our Christmas meal special. Would definitely book for next year.

Browns is our go to place to eat and drink in Glasgow. Service is excellent and our waitress Sarah was attentive and friendly. Great central location. We will be back!

Great food and service, nice atmosphere, helpful staff, great food and overall a nice experience. Would highly recommend

Had a fabulous meal would decently recommend, all staff were friendly and tentative as well. Will be returning.

Had a very disappointing lunch at Browns, my food was cold and I had to send it back, not much of an apologie and it meant that myself and a friend I was with had to eat separately which was not nice. It was also very expensive, they have definitely put their prices up.

So disappointed today. Come here often but felt like such an inconvenience today. The staff didn’t have notification of my reservation. I showed them my confirmation email but the girl still behaved as though I’d made it up!!! I was told categorically that we had two hours and that was it. The table was tiny which was fine but why make patrons feel crap!!! Everywhere was busy so I didn’t to drag my friend around town looking for an alternative so I sat. After we finished our main and we asked for the dessert menu we were told we had 20 mins left to have our dessert…. Honestly… we didn’t have a dessert due to this. How disappointing. We spent £100 between us but I can honestly say I’m so disappointed with how I was made to feel. If this is your hospitality then you can keep it. I won’t be returning!! It’s great you rely on your group bookings and disregard your regulars.

Lovely christmas 3 course meal and great service from Andres. Always made sure we were OK and how the meal was! We will be back!

Everything was excellent, the food and service were excellent, I made a reservation and they delivered the table quickly

What an amazing spot for brunch, lovely food and drinks. Attentive staff who made sure we had the best time. We were a group of 12 girls and loved every minute. A special thanks to Holly, Ian and Charlotte for looking after us so beautifully.

So tasty. The service was amazing, attentive thought. Food mouthwatering. We experienced the Xmas set menu perfect. Location lively. My opinion, a glass of large wine 11£ plus a little over priced.

We had a great meal in Browns of Glasgow the meal the services, the staff really excelled. I honestly thought that Browns in Birmingham would be hard to equal but this was every much as good if not better thanks to all the staff for...

Took my grandmother and great grandmother out for Sunday lunch (due to the waiting times - I'd probably call it dinner!). Ordered the drinks, the hot chocolate was practically back so sent it back and the girl came with another one, and said "If you...

Excellent service by Andrés. Felt like a values customer despite my first visit here. I was hoping for a little more lobster on my eggs Benedict but the kind way I was treated more than made up for that. Lovely Virgin Mary and damn fine...

The welcome was very friendly and the staff very efficient and professional. The food was amongst the best i have ever tasted and there was a great selection of wines. Personally thought that the prices were very reasonable for such a high end service.

A really good breakfast including an outstanding mushroom omelette. The restaurant itself is beautiful and looking very festive at this time of year. Special mention for our server, Andres, who was friendly, efficient and even gave us an idea about what to do that evening.

Brilliant lunch in a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Our server Sam was also so pleasant and very on point to all our needs. Couldn’t ask for any better service or food

We were there as parents, child and grandparents to celebrate a birthday. We were greeted by a lovely female who also gave us the menus, took out drinks order, served the drinks, took our food order, served the meals - starters, mains desserts and extra...

Superb atmosphere as usual and Andres made the whole experience even better. A true hospitality expert. Get him on training other staff!!

Food was brilliant as always. Always come here for breakfast on our trips to Glasgow. Eggs royale is 10/10. We were serviced by Steven who is a credit to the business.

Lovely food, very nice atmosphere. Holly our server was not only lovely, but well presented and friendly. Would come again💕

A Saturday lunch that went very very wrong. Stood at the entrance for approx 10 minutes before somebody finally could be bothered to greet us. Then sat in the bar area that was simply just filthy--the floor was covered in liquid, the bar covered in...

We visit Miller and Carter often but fancied a small change and opted for Browns which we believe to be within the same chain. We arrived promptly at 6:30 on a Friday evening, the restaurant was not busy yet staff shied away from us, leaving...

Well done to Steven the honest waiter who explained service was included when we tried to leave a tip! Service good but felt good was overpriced for what we got( salads )

Michael was a great waiter. The food was excellent. A certain enjoyable visit. Would recommend Brown's.

I had a fabulous meal. It was a great atmosphere from the moment we were greeting at the door to Gabriel who served us I cannot find fault. The lamb I had for main meal was delicious and would recommend. I finished off the meal...

This płace is great for fine food. We followed the recommendation of Steven , the waiter, and took the salmon salat as the first dish and the steak as the second. Both were superb. The stay had not be so pleasant if Steven had not...

This restaurant is beautiful inside and the breakfast food is such good quality and very good priced. The service is also really great too, our waiter Steven was polite and friendly.

Very good food and desserts! We had a steak and salmon. Both very good. More than enough food, drinks and fries.

We had a great lunch, the service was first class. Both our meals were delicious , everyone should go here.

Excellent service from Sam. Quick and happy to help! Brownie was tasty and she was very helpful. Thanks Sam!

Lovely restaurant, very impressed by the quality of the food, a delicious lunch. Excellent service as always - very polite, professional, friendly and attentive. We sat outside as our dog was with us. We would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service from Steven today - thank you so much! Really lovely food as well and a fab location.

Great food, great service from Steven.. lovely surroundings. Absolutely no complaints at all. Looking forward to coming back already

Amazing food had the surf and turf for two so incredible! Steven was also a fantastic server making sure we had everything we need!

The drinks were nice but the staff looked overwhelmed when we visited. Iain was very knowledge and kept us smiling through the time we were there. Might come back and try again but not sure

Love this restaurant food amazing staff wonderful very attentive talk through the menu so that it meets your dierty needs

Had great food and drinks here with a group of colleagues, and our server Michael was incredibly patient and helpful during our payment process.

Absolutely amazing food and drinks and the staff service was fantastic - well worth a visit and will definitely be back!

Great food and beautiful surroundings, staff very friendly and attentive. Great menu, great choice and cater for food intolerances too. Would highly recommend Browns

Disappointed… After going to several restaurants in the area the food was very underwhelming. Expected better… service was nice enough but ultimately, food spoiled the evening.

Afternoon Tea with family.Loved the afternoon tea. Steven our server was fab.loads of lovey sandwiches qnd cakes

Hugely underwhelming! My girlfriend and I bought the ribeye and sirloin steaks. The ribeye was mostly fat and the sirloin was extremely thin and over cooked. We paid over £100 for the meal and I genuinely felt so disappointed at the end of the night....

Lovely brunch. Chilled atmosphere, great food and service. Thank you Steven for looking after us. Everything was excellent

Our server Michael was lovely and very attentive. He took some great photographs of our family lunch too!! The food was amazing too

Mushroom omelette is 5-star, plenty of gluten-free options, good coffee and friendly service. Thanks.

Prawn cocktail and Goats cheese beetroot salad were lovely starters Great Chateaubriand meal ,Cabernet Sauvignuan excellent,great service by Casey be back soon

We had been given a voucher for Mitchells and Butler restaurants and, finding ourselves in Glasgow, went to Browns. I tend to be a bit dismissive of chains but I really enjoyed my meal here. The building is spectacular and stylish, food was excellent and...

The food and service at Brown's Glasgow is first rate!. I popped on for an unplanned dinner before heading home. Michael,my waiter, was courteous, friendly and professional as were all of the staff that day. I had the pan-fried hake special which was delicious and...

We loved the friendly atmosphere in Browns. The food was delicious and the staff very engaging. This all helped to make a special occasion.

Go elsewhere as very expensive for 2 course ‘nothing special’ lunch & drinks for 4 people. My husband had the fish pie & it was full of sauce with very little fish in it! Total bill for 4 was £240. Overwhelming smell of deep fried...

Everything was lovely. Great food and service in a beautiful setting right in the centre of the city.

Second visit, first time for breakfast/brunch. Food was delicious, smoothies amazing - highly recommend. Our server Holly was lovely!

It’s the 21st of July, we’ve just had an evening meal and some drinks. The food we ate was excellent, atmosphere was relaxing, all the staff were were more than helpful. Somewhere we hope to return in the future. Special thanks to Gabriel.

Lovely food, surroundings and ambiance. Great wine and cocktails. I can thoroughly recommend the Upside Down Pineapple Cake cocktail.....stunning! Our waiter Iain was very attentive, friendly and good fun. Service with a smile, as well as going above and beyond. A really positive experience all...

I'm not used to write reviews but for this restaurant I'm glad to make an exception. We had breakfast in this unique atmosphere: a very big dining room, lots of tables but austerily equipped with a touch of luxury without exageration. The music was calm...

Came here on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. The service and food was lovely and Stephen our waiter was great. Will definitely visit again!

We have a really nice dinner. The food was excellent but even more so, the drink selection was terrific and the drinks were very well made. The place is nice but not stuffy. It definitely seemed like a place where business dinners eemed to be...
