Never again. I used this studio once before and while the room was small, it was fine and the younger guy was such a gem. We felt comfortable to come back today and despite knowing it was vocals and bass, they had no way to get sound going. A studio doesn’t have cables?? Our room was up a narrow spiral staircase, which with heels and a bass, we felt uncomfortable going up but were told no other rooms were free.. fair enough. We were led to a mouldy smelly attic and given a smashed mic. Old guy spent 20 minutes looking for a cable so we could get sound (shouting and swearing about us loud enough for us to hear, mind you.) we decided to cut our losses at this point and leave. My bassist thanked the guy anyway on the way out, only to be confronted TO PAY. For what?? When told we didn’t get to practice for obvious reasons, the guy became aggressive and started shouting/cussing us out!! Bassist offered to pay to shut the guy up, only to be told to leave and “never come back” , as well as threatened. No worries, definitely not coming back and telling every musician I know to avoid.

Have used before and all good, however thought I had a booking for last Friday and had 30 people organised for the event only to find out someone had messed up big time and not booked me in. Major headache and no apologies and no dates left. Real shame as recording a Christmas charity song now down the pan, unless I can find another studio. Only found out by calling the day before to check a tech detail. We could all have pitched up on the night and wasted our time.

As a Carlton, stopping at Carlton Studio while visiting Glasgow was a must. Lovely little cafe for a snack and a chat. A nice place to step back from the hustle of Glasgow and have a walk on the other side of the river. Had a lovely bacon and egg roll. Was gifted a Carlton Studios t-shirt

Just had the best lunch I can remember for a long time at the Carlton studios cafe, you could tell from their regular Frank it was going to be a welcoming cafe, it’s immediately interesting as soon as you walk down, the food was awesome toastie and soup first class and the staff / owners were the best even giving me a Springsteen tile to take home for free despite me trying to offer them cash for it , will definitely be back whenever I’m and around that area of the city

It's a fairly decent priced studio, but it honestly needs a complete makeover, I've been to this studio three times in my life and it's always been in the same room, the acoustic panels were close to falling off and the spiral staircase that leads to the top practice room is a pain, especially during the winter time when it becomes cold and slippery and it's pretty dangerous especially when carrying heavy equipment.

Fairly decent price to book for 3 hours, however the practice space have solid walls and floors and no acoustic panels. Sound just bounces all over the place. It's very difficult to hear each other when everyone is playing together. I would not recommend it for a fairly large band to practice in.

Este pequeño café está bajando unos pasos justo al lado del río. Fuimos allí después de regresar del palacio de justicia que está a la vuelta de la esquina. La comida es barata y casera. Todos disfrutamos nuestro desayuno y conversamos con el propietario, que ha tenido la cafetería durante muchos, muchos años. Las otras personas en la cafetería parecían estar ayudándola, pero también parecían clientes en lugar de empleados, ¿tal vez clientes habituales? Esta cafetería sirve como un estudio de música por las noches y un hombre sentado en una mesa nos ofrece subirnos y mostrarnos la música que toca o toca un grupo, pero desafortunadamente no tuvimos tiempo; Sin embargo, la oferta fue muy apreciada. Este café y compás son mis sentimientos hacia la ciudad de Glasgow y, una vez, mi lugar, y la razón por la que he vuelto y volveré.

Así que tienes la pista de abogados y sus clientes, y es bueno, pero barato, así que los jóvenes y no tan jóvenes. El personal es muy agradable y te tratan como un amigo que he visto que más de una vez.La comida es preparada y es buena y buenos precios. Fui a trabajar una tarde y mi tercer café llegó libre después de terminado mi segunda sin preguntar. Ha enganchado desde entonces.Es cruzando el puente colgante de la calle South Portland justo al otro lado de la calle Clyde Enoc. Pero mucho mejor que los costos. Y siempre abierto! !

Para una reunión y queríamos tomar un bocadillo rápido sentarse. Un pequeño lugar con sólo un par de mesas pero comida fantástica. Mi colega y yo quedamos con un par de sándwiches tostados - ambos estaban llenos lleno de abundante y las dos sándwiches tostados y un par de copas y nos dieron cambio de 10 libras. La única pega es que estaba tratando de pagar como una vez que habíamos comido tuvimos que hacer cola para pagar la comida. Aparte de eso, un gran pequeño lugar.

Conocido localmente como "Barney's" es un pequeño café. Tiene sólo unas pocas mesas pero la mayoría de la gente viene desde las oficinas circundantes para una llevar. Los precios son muy razonables para la comida fría y caliente y las porciones son muy, muy generoso.Los rollos de mayo de pollo son sublime!

I have never left a restaurant review before tonight. This was a last minute booking. Fairly average food and generally disappointing. The good reviews here are very surprising! As others have said the chicken was overcooked and dried out, both within the pakora and in the chicken tikka masala. The menu on the website says they serve naan. They don’t. All the menus in the restaurant have it crossed out. False advertising ? Anyone else ever been for a curry in the UK where they don’t serve naan? When we asked the waitress why she explained they didn’t have room for the correct equipment which I assume is a tandoor. So I asked how it was possible to cook the tikka part of the dish we had just eaten without a tandoor and she said it can be done on the pan ie like I do at home with a jar of curry sauce from Lidl. Except mine tastes better. All a bit of a pity as we were looking forward to this. Lots of “merchandising” in the entrance hall but it seems like a case of style over substance. The vegetable pakora and the coriander relish was good but all the other food was not great quality. So many better options in Glasgow and this place is letting the side down. Avoid

We had the chicken tikka and chicken 65 starters, followed by the chicken tikka dosa and lamb punjabi The food and service was excellent, we just turned up and were lucky we picked a great time to come. We arrived at 6.45pm and by 8.30pm it was full mobbed. Great place and highly recommend!
