A traditional pub which serves decent beer. The price of a pint was reasonable too for a city centre location We visited on a midweek evening and enjoyed the ambience in the ground floor bar. I would happily visit here again

Booking made for a hen party weeks in advance from 6pm - 12pm, deposit paid and confirmed night before by email and when we arrived at the bar around 7pm we were advised we were late and booking had been given away. Deposit was returned but at no time were advised we had to be there by a certain time. Absolutely shocking!! Extremely disappointed and will NEVER recommend Horseshoe Bar 😡

They report and get the majority of their negative reviews deleted so be careful what you write. All ill say is the LGBTQ community need to be wary coming here. The bouncers are absolute bullies. They are both, verbally AND physically aggressive. If anyone needs to know more about what happened to my partner and I, feel free to message me. Horseshoe staff, keep deleing my reviews from 2021 but ill keep posting because your bouncers should be in prison for what they are doing to customers. A girl has even posted about it on tiktok which has went viral. Disgusting.

We all loved our food at The Horseshoe Bar. Great deal of two main courses for around £11. There were 3 of us so we ordered a spare Mac and cheese with garlic bread which we shared . My fish and chips was delicious and a big portion. The waitress was really lovely ! The desserts sounded lovely but we were completely full ! (The only small point for improvement was the donner sauce could be served in a separate bowl ) Will definitely be back here again ! Great “pub” food !!

Went with work colleagues, told upstairs was full for them to let people in after us. Only letting one person at he toilet at a time - only reason I was let to the toilet was because I was on my period - which I shouldn’t have to disclose or share. RUDE bouncers with an absolute God complex who said to me ‘Do you think you’re better than me?’ - no I’m just trying to use the bathroom. Would not waste my time attempting to get in. They need bouncers who have manners and who are professional.

Horrible bouncers. Got told I couldn't go upstairs to use the toilet at the same time as my SISTER. Bouncer said I had to wait outside, I asked if I can wait inside he said no, when I asked why he said 'because I told you so.' I stood outside but it was absolutely freezing so asked if I can go get my jacket, he told me no and told me I was to wait outside until she came back, I said it was freezing so I was going to get my jacket. I went back inside and stood literally at the front door where he could clearly see me standing waiting. He then proceeds to come up to me and tell me to go get my jacket so I can wait outside. I said to him can I just wait here until she comes back. He was very persistent to the point he had me in tears. I went over to my table where my mum and other sister were sitting and he actually followed me over. He tried to say he didn't mean to upset me but said I was giving him cheek. At this point I couldn't be bothered even arguing so just took my jacket and left. We were outside waiting on my other sister so we could leave. It got to the point he was arguing with me AGAIN telling me I was in the wrong. Definitely will not be back, I am not a confrontational person and have never experienced anything like this in my life.

Was in to watch the football and have a few drinks, at half time we were going to move upstairs so we could listen to music. Bouncer told us it was full so decided to finish our drinks and leave. My friend and I went to use the bathroom before we went and we were told one at a time which I honestly thought was a joke at first as no bouncer was upstairs enforcing this rule to any other person in the building. We were also told the bouncer wouldn’t know if the venue was fully booked or not. Was a weird experience from the bouncers and the upstairs room was half empty, probably wouldn’t go back unless the door staff changed

I went here on a Saturday with my mum at 4.30 and was told that you couldn’t get in before 7 unless you had a booking for food. We asked if they’d be letting people in at 7 and the bouncer said they would and to come back. So we went elsewhere and had a couple of drinks then came back at 6.50 to be told by another bouncer that it was full and they weren’t letting anyone in. The bouncer didn’t even look at us when we walked up - just looked past us and said ‘full’. I explained we’d been told they only let people in for food until 7 and to come back then but he just repeated himself and said ‘full’. Fair enough if they were full but he was so arrogant and rude for no reason. And I also don’t know how they could possibly be full when apparently it was only people eating until 7 - so there must have been standing room. I’ve had other people saying similar happened to them. Seems like the bouncers are on a power trip. Also I was in there the Sunday before and it was £12.40 for two vodkas and a small bottle of Diet Coke so it’s a rip off anyway, even for town.

Arrived at the horseshoe bar sober, the three males got in and said the rest of our work shift would come in later (5 mins) The rest of our shift (two men one woman) arrived) and got told no. I came downstairs to ask why they couldn’t join us and the 19 year old bouncer said because of MY attitude even though they’d already came to get in themselves. The youngest of the three personal being 41. I was already upstairs inside the premise where my friends tried to get in the first time and got rejected. Not a sip of alcohol between them. Needs looked at before people from Falkirk/Edinburgh come through for a celebration.

Regularly visit this bar, when in Glasgow and it ticks all the boxes. However when water (I hope it was just water) starts raining down on customers and the paper on the ceiling is bubbling and peeling. That the staff would be more proactive. Reported twice to bar staff, zero action / investigation happened. Hopefully the door staff may have shown more interest when reported on way out.

Absolutely disgusting bouncer trying to throw you out before you’d finished your drink, I was there with my daughter and had just ordered our second drink then bouncers told us we had to get out as they were closed and if we didn’t they would call the police. This was after the bar stay telling us we still had 15 minutes. I am a 56 year old woman and was definitely not intimidated by these excuses for men however I really think someone should look into how they got their SIA licence and it should be revoked. Disgusting way to run a business and by the rest of the reviews seems I’m not the only one that thinks this

What a despicable Manageress. Ordering my second cider of the day I politely asked if it could be served in a beer-type glass, "Best, Bellhaven, lager" type glass as opposed to the tall and thin glass that Strongbow cider offers. (new straight glasses are available but the Horseshoe doesn't do them either. She replied that they only have tall glasses for all beers yet looking around the bar were people with beer in straight glasses. I explained why I don't like the tall glasses and was now told, "if ye ur gonna staun there discussing glasses then ye kin leave the pub coz am no serving ye" Shocked and overcome that a simple request was denied, I asked a barman that was close by, the same question. Midway through the question, the same Manageress comes stomping up, madness and rage showing on her face. She now comments, "Whit ur ye asking him about? I'm the Manageress" and proceeds to go on another rant about being not willing to serve me. A few unpolite words came from her mouth and the only reply was to tell her, "Freck Off" and we left the pub. In all my years of drinking in what is normally a great bar, I was deeply saddened and disgusted to be treated in such a manner. If this is the way that ageism and discrimination are slowly creeping into society then I will certainly not be back at the Horseshoe. Their loss, not mine.

The Horseshoe Bar es una institución de Glasgow y, como definitivamente cumple con los criterios de ser un pub tradicional a la antigua, me queda perfectamente bien.Debido a la pandemia actual, debe informar a la persona en la puerta, quien tomará los detalles del rastreo de contactos y le explicará las reglas de entrada. Una vez dentro, nos llevaron a una mesa y una camarera tomó nuestro pedido y nos trajo nuestras bebidas.Todos seguían claramente las reglas de distanciamiento seguro y nos sentimos muy relajados durante nuestra visita. Ah, ¡y el Tennent's fue perfecto!He visto críticas anteriores sobre porteros desagradables y supongo que esto tenía que ver con la entrada (¡o no!) Al bar Karaoke. Todo lo que puedo decir es que el tipo que se ocupa de nuestra entrada al pub principal fue encantador.

Revisión similar a la anterior sobre la mala experiencia del cliente debido al terrible nivel de los porteros. En caso de que estén leyendo esto, mantendré las palabras cortas y fáciles de entender. 6 de nosotros en Glasgow para una comida del 60 cumpleaños intentamos ingresar al establecimiento alrededor de las 10 pm. Desconcertado por nuestra negativa a entrar, ya que aparentemente uno de nuestro grupo estaba bajo el clima o molesto, como señaló el portero. El tipo en cuestión, un superintendente de la policía de Strathclyde, había tomado cerveza azul esa noche cuando estaba en el turno de la mañana del domingo. Los payasos en la puerta eran abusivos, groseros arrogantes y todo eso es malo con el manejo de la puerta. Como se puede ver en otras críticas, esto es algo normal y no se puede hacer nada bueno en el bar de herradura. Si continúan así, estoy seguro de que este ícono de un pub en Glasgow se cerrará. Lamentablemente, el estado de cosas y la administración deben cortarlo de raíz para garantizar la supervivencia en estos tiempos difíciles.

Could be a brilliant karaoke bar but the "men" on the door will only let you in if you are a youngster with a short skirt! Myself and my husband were refused entry for no reason, but young women wearing short skirts were allowed in after we were refused. We only managed to sneak in when the "men" on the door were physically laying into a poor guy, again unjustified. Will go elsewhere next time.

So, tourists and new visitors to all things good in Glasgow. Let me tell you of my experience at The Horseshoe bar in Glasgow. Never, EVER have I been treated the way I was treated last evening in what is reputedly Glasgow’s premier spot for fun and Karaoke. It would appear that in order to gain admittance you have to be below a certain age that is determined on the spot and is also disputed on the spot by unregistered doormen who cannot agree between themselves in front of customers who should be admitted and who should not. I say unregistered because they displayed no visible registration or ID and refused to identify themselves truthfully when asked. So Manager Susan, who seemed a bit unsure of her name and John Johnston (?) decided that three ladies approaching their half century were not to be admitted while allowing entry to two very much younger customers signifies perhaps that their customer relations and discriminative selection process needs to be placed under advisement. Let’s not forget that the doormen’s command of the English (Scottish) language really does not need to include reference to the size or capabilities of the customers husbands manhood. The hand gestures offered by Mr Johnston (?) to emphasis his point were vulgar and crass in the least. Under the Private Security Industry Act of 2001, licensing individuals as doormen should ensure that doormen are fit and proper persons. Whether or not these persons are licensed with the SIA, the blame lands solely with the owner and management of this establishment. Shame on you Horseshoe Bar! You have done Glasgow and it’s reputation for hospitality a disservice.Please also note that there are multiple pages for the Horse Shoe bar although both pages reference the bar and restaurant. Since we didn’t get in I cannot comment on the food. Also note that we did attempt to contact the manager (this time Steve?) by phone who assured us several times that there was standing room upstairs. When we brought up the rudeness of the doormen he hung up.

That said, a better turn over at the bar would definitely make the difference - service is never great yet there is always time for people walking around thrusting a tray of Jagerbombs under your nose???Toilets are always a down side. Because of how busy the place always is its somewhere to avoid due to the lack of cleanliness.Otherwise, you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself here!

It was jumping and a really good atmosphere even at 6pm. It does take ages to get served but it’s really busy so expect thatPeople were dancing in the queue whenever someone was singing which I thought was brill. Drinks reasonably priced too.

There is nothing quite like The Horse Shoe pie and peas. little bit of pepper, a few splashes of vinegar over the peas. Absolute quality. For those with a sweeter palate then the beans are a good addition. The pies are always fresh and tasty.

This pub is what you would expect of a Glasgow pub... lots of tv’s to watch sport, reasonably priced drink and great service, plenty of staff. Did not have any of the food on offer so cannot comment on that service.

The Horse Shoe Bar is a genuine Glaswegian bar, real place, real people, good value and never disappoints.

Iconic Glasgow pub. Good old fashioned style bar. I love this old , real traditional pub, with it's dark wood, and huge mirrors.Any time when I am in Glasgow I go there. Can get very busy but is still great place to a visit. Very reasonable prices for City Centre. Great atmosphere.

Famoso bar de Glasgow con la barra más larga de Europa (unos 32 metros) Está abarrotado de gente de la zona, nade de turistas. Los precios son muy ajustados, pagamos unas 3,5 libras por pinta. Nos sirvieron rápidamente y pudimos encontrar mesa. Imprescindible pasar a verlo al menos si estas por el centro. No probamos la comida.

He ido al Horse Shoe Bar durante muchos años y estuve en el local el domingo 5 de mayo. Ambas mujeres fueron agarradas y bajadas físicamente por 2 hombres, mi amiga fue arrastrada por las escaleras y mi amiga no podía mover su asiento lo suficientemente rápido. Se pusieron agresivos de inmediato y nunca nos dieron la oportunidad de irnos de manera amistosa. Tengo moretones en los brazos. Tampoco me dieron mi bolsa y mi chaqueta de la premisa en la que tenía la llave de mi casa y el dinero para llegar a casa. Un amable caballero vio todo lo que sucedió y regresó a las instalaciones para recoger mis pertenencias.

Solía frecuentar el Horse Shoe, regularmente, y esta era la primera vez que regresaba, pero nunca regresaba. Ahora es parte de la cadena Mitchell & Butler, que vive de su reputación anterior y la ordeña como una 'vaca lechera'. El personal es amable y eficiente, pero ahora es solo un 'bar' y hay muchos bares mejores en Glasgow. La comida que se servía era lenta y gradual, mientras que el "viejo" Calzado para Caballos, para cualquiera que cuida su presupuesto, era fantástico.

The Horse Shoe Bar is the longest bar that you ll find in Scotland. Desgined in the shape of a horse shoe (Hence the name!) it caters to people in a panoramic manner. It is a great place to go for a local night out.

Visited here for drinks one evening and lunch another day. The place itself is quite pretty with a large circular bar and the atmosphere is good. The selection of drinks not too bad either. Was disappointed with the food quality unfortunately. The cleanliness of the gents toilets left a lot to be desired too, particularly the area beneath the hand drier.

I don't usually write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to write here because of the poor service that I received by not one, but three employees. There are two listings for this place - one mislead us to thinking it was good......

The Horseshoe must be visited if you visit Glasgow! It is probably the most cosmopolitan and lively bar wit the best atmosphere in the city - cheap drinks too!. What more can I say?h

Ordered drinks downstairs and talked about singing up stairs with the bar staff. Went to go upstairs with drinks was told couldn't take them up in the same pub by a rude bouncer. Shove it horse shoe. Hope you go bust! Terrible attitude...

Turned up at 5pm to make sure we got a seat. But apparently you have to 'reserve' a table now ( which really means seats for favorites only). Icing on the cake was when we were asked to stand away from the bar. There were plenty of empty seats around the place but not much standing space away from the bar.

Been visiting here for years and it is such a change to find an old traditional city centre bar like this. Good range of ales and lagers, all reasonably priced. Simple honest food which is very reasonably priced and arrives quickly. I've always found all of the staff friendly and obliging.

He estado aquí a lo largo de los años muchas veces, pero la mayoría de los antiguos empleados han ido. El personal más joven que no se preocupa por los clientes siempre es perezoso para acercarse a usted o para llevar perezoso a otro personal para tener alguna consideración por la comunidad local. Lamentablemente decir que fui al sábado por última vez como un miembro del personal muy grosero y descarado, que tenía cabello rubio y lentes en su 30+. Fuimos en 7 de nosotros ella era nuestro servidor. El miembro más antiguo del personal estaba allí para que ella fuera encantadora. Pero debe de sentarse en el área de lassis rubia, así que ella era nuestra camarera. Esperando eras y eras llamaron su atención, pero luego nos olvidaron. No estaba ocupada, solo estaba perezosa charlando en el bar y en la cocina. Así que nos marchamos por última vez hace más de 35 años pero nunca más. Guarde su dinero, el lugar de los chicos se hace ahora a muchas escaleras. No es un buen personal ahora estoy seguro de que es una cena rápida en un pub económico. Pero ahora tienen una selección tan vasta en la ciudad. Gracias por los recuerdos . Pero realmente pobres ahora los chicos de la cocina trabajan duro y los clientes están ahí, pero se han perdido mucho en comparación con lo que solía ser. Día triste, uno de los mejores lugares para estar en un momento en el que formaba parte de la parte de la comunidad de Glasgow donde todos no lo hacían.

Had to rate this average this time. Been here often. Has great ambience. Plenty of bar staff and bar manager who are excellent but this time there was a cock up with our meal. They delivered one meal and one starter that was meant to be a main course. The bar manager apologised and offer us a free drink that was accepted but had to wIt awhile for the main course. When it arrived my husband had almost finished his meal while I was just Stratton’s mine. This did not go down well with me, having said that the meal was delicious. When departing the bar member who took our order apologised also.

Karaoke is not my bag generally but this is a cracking bar for it. Singers are superb and don't murder a tune you love. Was having a drink with a girlfriend and one of my favourite tunes came over the PA and I thought, 'the DJ has good taste,' and then excused myself to go to get some more drinks from the bar and it was a singer up on the stage. Nice friendly crowd and staff and good range of beers and ales etc. And reasonably priced too.

I have been a regular in this bar for many years and after a recent visit was very dissapointed with the level of noise from the speakers in the bar. It made it impossible to have a conversation and despite asking for the bar staff to turn down the volume, there was no action taken. So if you are wanting a quite place to have a chat with your pals do not go to the Horse Shoe Bar.

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.
