Had my mum over from New Zealand and she absolutely fell in love with the place. Ended up going back 4 times for dinner and a few pints! She even bought herself a t-shirt. Great food, atmosphere and incredibly helpful and friendly staff. They even remembered our drink orders and were able to recommend some delicious gins to try! The live music was an added bonus as well. Highly recommend to anyone visiting to Glasgow. 10/10!

Great pub, great old fashioned service. Great range of beers. Well worth a visit to an authentic Scottish pub. Although we didn’t eat their menu looked great. Check out their live music as well.

Nice old pub. Prices are probably more expensive than other places. However be careful. They tried to charge us twice for food. The member of staff knew what he was doing because as soon as he was challenged he walked away so make sure you get a receipt or they will try and charge you twice. Don't think we'll be back.

Recientemente visité Macsorleys y puedo decir que disfruté mucho de mi experiencia. Los estándares de limpieza eran altos y no decepcionaron. Me sentí muy seguro, el personal fue profesional en todo momento y aun así me las arreglé para pasar un buen rato con mis amigos. La comida era deliciosa y las bebidas a un precio razonable. ¡Definitivamente volveremos pronto! Gracias chicos sigan con el buen trabajo! :)

Cada vez que visito Mac Sorleys es la misma experiencia. . . . excelente personal del bar, música en vivo aún mejor, pero al final de la noche el portero es grosero y desagradable en un esfuerzo por despejar el bar. Necesita un "trasplante de personalidad" porque no tienes que ser grosero o agresivo para alentar a los clientes a que dejen de beber y salgan de las instalaciones.

My mother and I are in Glasgow for my 20th birthday. We heard the live music from our hotel and were immediately drawn towards it. Above the bar, there was a chalkboard wall with drink recommendations ranging from beer to frozen daiquiris. The place was packed with people dancing and drinking, having a grand ole’ time. Despite it being packed and hard to move, everyone was so friendly and made a path to the bar and the upstairs balcony. Where ever you are in MacSorleys you can find someone to talk to and enjoy the night. We plan on going back again.

We always try to visit here when in Glasgow and spent an hour here on way to concert.Came in at perfect time as A blues band with a lady lead singer were just starting.These are the kind of pubs I love and could spend ages here but unfortunately I picked the wrong lager to drink.I had an Amstel and have to say it was terrible.The bar was very busy so I just picked the one closest to me and couldn't see others.The other problem I had was trying to get Internet,there was a password on wall saying it was gieitlaldie but it wouldn't work and the bar girl I asked when she wasn't busy was very unhelpful but next time I'll walk round bar and check other beers out.

The HN&T; was good but there were to much pepper corn in the gravy, otherwise it tasted very good. The burgers and fish & chips were also very good. The food portions were huge, ample to be shared. The beer was also great.

I was recently in Glasgow on holiday and visited mcsorlays, I was alone in the bar area when a gentleman approached me and made me feel rather uncomfortable. One of you bartenders mark noticing I was not happy with the situation came over and discreetly asked me to come and look at the beer selection thus avoiding an awkward situation which let me enjoy the rest of my night. Gold star for the barman and also the drink selection is phenomenal needless to say I travel to Glasgow twice a year and will certainly be visiting the bar again and will be recommending to friends and family in future.

Couldn't get into The nearby Wetherspoons which was rammed becausde of the televised European Cup Final so ordered some food here, I had a delicious chilli nachos. It comes in three sizes, Small, regular, and large. I ordered the small version.It was enough to feed two hungr people with ease. Plenty of chilli, loads of nachoes, topped off with dollops of cream and fresh chillies. Lovely. Beer is about £4 a pint. Recommended.

Was meeting a friend for lunch and decided to try somewhere different hence went to MacSorleys. What a brilliant choice. Place was quiet, had a lovely homely feel and good choice of music playing. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Menu had plenty of choices at superb prices. Both my friend and I struggled to finish meal because the plates were so full but not at detriment of taste. I, got one, will definitely be back. Well recommended. Ps only gave 4 stars because although there is a good choice of lagers and beers I’m an old fashioned die hard and only drink dark beers. Belhaven best and Guinness were my only draught choices. Visit here and you will not be disappointed.

My friends and I visited MacSorleys on the 29th of March, for casual drinks and dinner. We were in for a treat as on Thursday's the pub host's a Mac's Rock Night, with a LIVE band may I add. We opted in for a Mini Munch deal, which get's you 3 appetizers for £10, which was a bargain, considering the portion sizes!!! The staff are a lovely bunch. They were attentive the whole night and their knowledge of spirits and craft beer is excellent.

Not one for going out my way to write reviews but credit where credits due. Me and the wife were in Macsorleys Saturday night after walking buy and hearing the live music from inside. The lads on the door gave us some rubbish banter before we got in. Lol was rare to have a laugh with door staff. Inside was warm and cozy considering the weather out side. The main reason for the review though was how amazing the food was. I ordered the steak pie with mash and was plenty to fill me (I'm a big eater). The fish and chips the wife ordered could have fed 2. Already looking forward to going back with a few friends next time as the atmosphere was amazing. Thank you to Kirk also for looking after us and making us feel welcome.

Staying in Glasgow for the weekend with my other half and came across this bar next to the Jurys Inn. Only intended a few drinks here before heading further into town but the live music was great we ended up spending most of the evening here, and after drinking else where came back to finish the night here! The young lad on saturday evening was amazing, relaxing yet energetic all in one! The band when we came back later were fantastic as well. I'm from a big city and its not often you find this quality of music for free.The drink selection was vast and although we tend to stick to lager there was a brilliant selection of all spirits so youd be hard done by to not find something you are after. We had a quick bite to eat from the lunch menu the next day before heading home and of course it didnt disappoint. All in all, this find made our weekend that bit special and if we're ever back will be sure to pop in and say hi to the staff!

Popped in for a quick drink to show a visiting American friend a 'real' Glasgow bar. Band was on and playing (not great, but it is free!) Pub was quite busy and the lone barmaid looked under pressure. We finally found a space round the far side of the bar and waited, and waited, and waited, for 15 minutes for the barmaid to take any notice of us, and when she did notice us, she walked up to us and said I'm not the most pleasant way "I can't serve you there, it's for waiters only!" and walked away. Our American friend was quite taken aback by her rudeness and also commented that it might have been a reasonable comment if there actually had waiters (which they had not) We left and went to the Royal Scot where we enjoyed pleasant staff and a nice evening. McSorleys seems to give the impression that they are doing you a favour by actually being open. I will never set foot in the place again.

Let me start by saying that this pub has been a firm favourite for my partner and I for several years now but we're becoming more and more concerned over the quality of service you receive. On our last visit we ordered some food (burger and chilli nachos) and after 45mins of waiting I approached the member of staff who had taken the order and asked if they knew when it would be ready? He said he'd go and check and I returned to my seat. After several minutes I noticed the staff member had returned to the bar area but rather than approaching me to provide an update he proceeded to chat to people at the bar. He then disappeared and wasn't to be seen again - I'm assuming his shift was over - we never received a response to my query. After a further 15mins wait our food finally arrived with no apology for the time it had taken and with only one set of cutlery and no offer of any sauces etc - I had to go and pick these up. The food was lovely but we were disappointed with the level of service provided particularly as the bar wasn't that busy - we've also found ourselves standing at the bar waiting to be served for long periods of time on previous visits. This has the potential to be one of the best bars in Glasgow and the live music is 1st class but work is required on service to customers.

Usually found MacSorleys a great place for a decent meal, and service but, this time the wife & I thought we'd walked into the wrong place! It was a Saturday afternoon, and we popped in for lunch, a drink, and to listen to the superb "Muldoon's Ragtime Jazz Band". First off, there was only 1 person serving at the bar on a packed Saturday afternoon... Not a good start. Eventually, another bar person eventually arrived, and I ordered a pint of lager, and a large soda water & lime. He didn't appear to know what a soda water & lime consisted of, and instead of putting in lime cordial & a slice of lime... I only found out that he'd just put in the slice of lime when I took it to my wife and she tasted it!. This was returned for the cordial that it required (as at a crazy £7.50 for the 2 drinks I think we were entitled to..). I then ordered my usual fish & chips meal, and my wife opted for macaroni cheese & garlic bread. After waiting a good 25 mins, I eventually received my meal which looked nothing like the lush fish & chips that I usually received here. It was obviously cheap, frozen oven chips, and my fish was long, and round (more like an eel than a haddock), and not pleasant. I was so hungry by this point I started eating it but not enjoying it. My wife then got her macaroni cheese... It was cold, dry, hardly any cheese, and obviously out of a cheap packet that was done in a microwave, and then re-heated but still allowed to go cold. This was returned by my wife to the manager, who apologised, and she told him just to replace it with fish & chips (she, at this point didn't know that this was disappointing as well). When this appeared, she ate about half of it before giving up. I have awarded the 1 star for the band. If I could have awarded a minus rating for the food, service, and bar work, I would have. Will be popping into the "Crystal Palace" across the road from "MacSorleys" as It's meals have not only been good everytime but, cheaper, quickly served, and the drinks are very reasonably priced.

Used to go for the live music before it closed. The refurbishment looks good, the staff were great and the meal did the trick. The monster stack of tacos looks great although we only managed the normal which was still plenty.

Your staff are rude. Your management team are worse. You have to remember that being open for such a long time doesn't give you liberties in being rude to customers and staff. Create some bloody character to the place and be nice.

Me and my other half came to MacSorleys on a Saturday night after reading lots of good reviews online and it didn't disappoint. A broad selection of drinks and a cracking atmosphere with a good live music. Best night we've had in Glasgow for a long time!

Nice pub, grateful wee band on, decent food, just a pity about having to wait 15 mins to get served, then waited 15 mins to pay for bill, 1 person on bar, and very rude aswell...

Un cadre sympathique, service rapide, un plat du jour, une carte avec des burgers entre autres.Bien servi, un bon burger avec des frites allumettes excellentes et des tarifs très abordables.Une très belle terrasse pour les beaux jours.

Nice wee pub , decent food and decent priced beer , noit cheap but not the dearest. Main issue was trying to get served at bar , not enough staff on for a Saturday night and the bar becomes overly busy when there is a band playing , the room is greatly reduced and standing / drinking space is minimal ( sardines), Friday or Saturday afternoons is the best time to enjoy this pub

This pub was 2 mins away from our hotel.We called in on our 1st night in Glasgow & we enjoyed the live music & the vibe of the place.We went back the next night & there was another great live band playing.It's very busy with all different age groups.

f you ever get hungry or thirsty while staying in Glasgow, MacSorleys is a place you should go, without any doubts.Meals are as good, as they're cheap (considering that most of the meals include the drink).The choice's is quite broad, as they also offer (in addition to the "classic" menu) to pick between a vegetarian/vegan, a non dairy and an gluten free menu (Which is nice, as it changes from the food you can usually get in most of the Scottish restaurant).And for beer amateur, no doubt you'll enjoy the place, as you can literally choose from dozens of different beers (My favorite being the Bottled Beers from the Isle of Skye).And to top it all, the atmosphere is quite nice.So, make sur to go there if you're ever in Glasgow

After a day of Christmas shopping in Glasgow my Patrner and I visited Macsorleys bar for some food and a drink.When ordering our meal we were told that only certain items on the menu were available.We then ordered from the limited menu , to be told 20 minutes later that the battered fish we had ordered was not available either.We ordered steak pie as an alternative.We then waited for approximately a further hour for our chicken wings starter to arrive.When it arrived we were not provided with side plates.The chicken wings were so hot with spice that they were almost inedible.I would liken them to an inferno.The steak pie that arrived was a pre packed pie that you would expect to purchase in somewhere like Iceland Store. It was 95% pastry with only a small amount of meat.Definitely not the home made steak pie we had expected.It was so bad that we refused to eat it and immediately called on a member of staff.Our complaint was then referred to the Manager who it turned out was not available having left the premises.We were then referred to one of the bar tenders in his absence.We explained about our dissatisfaction, the poor quality service, the long wait for food and the poor quality and requested a refund.The bartender refused to accept our complaint and belittled every point we made.His attitude was extremely unhelpful to the point of being offensive.Having no further option we left the premises with no food, no refund and extremely unhappy with our experience and treatment.Having slept on it we tried to contact Macsorleys by telephone the next day to find that there phone number is no longer in use.It is for this reason that we write on this site to share with others of our bad experience with Macsorleys catering and staff.

Stopped in here for a few drinks before going to a gig at the O2 Carling Academy.Apparently this place has recently been refurbished, but it retains and old school Glasgow pub feel. The drinks are not the cheapest, but we stayed for a couple of hours as their was a good vibe and atmosphere in the place. Whether this is because it was quite busy with other people going to the same gig as us, I don't know. Service was remarkably quick considering there was only one barmaid on and was pretty cheery too considering the pressure she was under and was serving four different customers at the same time without mixing up any orders. Definately set us up for the gig.Like I said...a good pre-gig venue that is only 5 minutes away from the O2 Academy

I so wanted to love everything about this place...I support establishments who continue to offer live music without a cover charge. And while the music is great and diverse ( I loved the Lennon/McCartney tribute on John Lennon's birthday that featured an "Elvis" opening Act), I was very disappointed in my food order both times I ordered. I am happy to pay a premium for decent food but feel ripped off paying for bad food.So be like me: Support Macsorley's by filling the place and buying drinks and maybe even some starters while enjoying great live music in Glasgow...but pass on the mains and sandwiches!

This would have been our first pub meal in the UK and we were looking forward to it. The food was so greasy we couldn't eat it. The place was nearly empty and that should have been the clue.

Thoroughly enjoyed home made soup and a delicious panini for my lunch followed by tea and biscuits. Didn't want big breakfast my hotel offered and the tea rooms bacon roll and excellent cuppa got my day of to a good start - 3 times. Found the staff very friendly. Sorry for other traveller who felt ignored must have been a one off.

Worst shawarma I’ve ever had. I grew up with the best Lebanese/Middle Eastern food outside of the old country in Dearborn, Michigan. I enjoy pushing the envelope a bit with the cooks up King Street and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, and while a bit greasy, that food is all right. Shawarma Boy? Man: you gotta grow up. It’s clear that the food is hanging on its laurels with jalapeños, chilli…and zero taste underneath. For £13 for a wrap and chips, I expect a lot more than a tiny wrap which was made wrong in the first place - not okay for someone to order food without stuff to then have half the junk on it...I mean, get it together. The worst chicken shawarma I’ve ever tasted in the entire world can be found at Shawarma Boy in the Barras - Calton, Glasgow at BAaD. It's awful. Avoid.

Place is a shambles. No consistency whatsoever. Shut every time we visit. Ye phone to order and they to you use the app. The app doesn’t work. Their timings are all over the shot. What’s the point in having a shop if you’re never open or reliable. Local area needs a better roll shop pronto. Would make a killing.
