Rab Ha's in Glasgow City

Perfect location for everything city centre, staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming and, oh my gawd, the breakfast!!! The most spectacular full Scottish brekkie you will ever have and being Scottish I’ve had plenty. We’ll definitely be back

Steak pie is delicious 😋 service is excellent 👍

Great food. Service a bit slow.

Chill wee pub with a nice fire. Solid pint of Budvar and Guinness is no bad

genuinely the nicest people ever, great location and the food is to die for (I almost did!)

Solid 5 stars for me. We had a room for the night just to crash after a party and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice it actually was, the staff were also really nice. We were at an event and got back at like 1am and the bartender offered us a free drink to take up to our room before he closed for the night. And a decent continental breakfast. I think this is going to be our standard spot whenever we go to Glasgow.

Rab Ha's Hotel is a charming and convenient stay located just a short walk from Argyle Street train station. The relaxed atmosphere, paired with its prime location near St. Andrew's Cathedral and The People's Palace, makes it an ideal choice for travelers. The four laid-back rooms are well-equipped with modern amenities like free Wi-Fi, iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities, ensuring a comfortable stay. The en suite bathrooms add a touch of convenience, and room service is a nice bonus. Downstairs, the warm restaurant serves classic Scottish cuisine in a traditionally decorated setting, while the cozy bar with exposed brickwork offers hearty pub fare. Whether you're here for the food, the location, or the comfortable rooms, Rab Ha's Hotel delivers a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Perfect for those looking for a blend of comfort and local charm!

I didn't sleep in the hotel but I ate at the pub several times. The place is small but very welcoming, the corner with the fireplace is very nice. The staff is courteous. The food was very good, generous and quality rations. There is also the possibility of tasting some typical Scottish dishes which I personally appreciated a lot.

Only had a drink in the bar when in town . Belhaven , sodia and lime £7 £ 2 for a sodia ?

We had lunch here, Ian, a local tour guide, recommended it. The food and the service were great!

Sur les conseils de Graham, notre guide pour une excursion, nous avons dîner ce soir dans ce super resto-pub. Un endroit très sympa, un serveur super accueillant qui nous a gentiment permis de goûter des spécialités (haggies), et le reste du repas était vraiment parfait : poulet cajun, vin, itrish coffee, tout était excellent dans une ambiance cool. Merci au cuisinier aussi. Rapport qualite-prix top. Excellente soirée pour nous (eric et Corinne de France)

Went for food, which was tasty . Would recommend if you're looking for nice pub food

Central location and friendly staff. Room was warm and comfortable. Continental breakfast had selection of fresh fruit, pastries,toast, cereal and yogurts

We had lunch here in June - after it was recommended by a local tour guide and so glad we did! The staff were welcoming and friendly (special mention to Ruby). We didn't have a reservation, but we were given a table quickly. We ate the "special of the day" - "Potato fritters with Haggis and black pudding"! We were traveling from Australia and we really enjoyed this Taste of Scotland on a plate. The prices were very reasonable!

Almorzamos aquí en junio - después de que fue recomendado por un guía turístico local y tan contento que lo hicimos! El personal era acogedor y amable (mención especial a Ruby). No teníamos una reserva, pero nos dieron una mesa rápidamente. Comimos el "especial del día" - "buñuelos de patata con haggis y pudín negro"! Estábamos viajando desde Australia y realmente disfrutamos de este sabor de Escocia en bandeja. Los precios eran muy razonables!

We booked dinner at this lovely pub given the excellent reviews. Good choice of beers and the best steak pie we've ever had in the UK! The place was quite crowded and noisy, but fortunately they reserved a table for us that was a little out of the way. The service was fast, the staff polite and kind. Advised

1st time visiting here and I though I was a really nice little bar will certainly visit again.

smashing pub, great staff, what's not to like?

Had dinner in its pub/restaurant, good service and good food!

My favourite bar in Glasgow.Frim the ambience of the place to lovely food & attentive staff plus an open fire place which is quite rare nowadays…Never used or be using the hotel facilities.as I stay in Glasgow.

I wouldn’t call this place a hotel—it's more like a pub with four rooms upstairs. It feels more like a spot for someone who's tired or had too much to drink to crash for a few hours. There’s no proper reception area, which was a bit off-putting for me. My experience wasn’t great. When I arrived, I was given a large room with three big windows. These windows were extremely old, with noticeable gaps and seams that let in cold air and noise. During a midday nap, I woke up freezing. Despite asking for a heater, I was told there were none available. I had to improvise by isolating the windows myself, using a duvet, pillows, and towels ... to block the drafts. Even the radiator in the room was unreliable—it would go cold at times. I requested a smaller, warmer room but was told they were fully booked, which wasn’t true. After I left the building and came back later, I found a note asking me to come downstairs for a room swap. They eventually moved me to a smaller room with just one well-sealed window, an extra heater, and standard amenities like an iron. This room was warm and comfortable, and I managed to sleep well. The breakfast options were basic: toast, jam, and fruit included in the stay, but cooked breakfast costs £10. Check-out time is at 12. Overall, I wouldn’t rate this as a 4-star hotel. It’s far from it. The larger room might be fine for summer, but it’s unsuitable for winter due to poor insulation. I don’t recommend staying here unless it’s your only option. Be mindful of the season if you decide to stay here!

We went here for our Christmas night out and had it booked. Some of the group went up to get the first round and one person was told they weren’t allowed to serve him alcohol even though he was absolutely fine. We weren’t drunk or loud but when questioning why this was done we were told (after buying 2 rounds of drinks by this point) that we all had to leave. I still do not know why nothing was done or said for this to happen. So we said we didn’t want to actually be here any way since it wasn’t welcoming for us and asked to get the round of drinks just bought refunded. We were told no and to leave. Wouldn’t recommend it in here at all absolutely shocking service.

Primera vez aquí , diciembre menú más pequeño que de costumbre pero que comida fantástica tuvimos y el personal muy servicial , macarrones con cobertura de queso azul increíble

Cosy pub in the city centre with a fire. Quite pricey but no different from any other pub in this area.

Encontré que Rab Ha es un lugar decente para alojarse. Su ubicación es buena para acceder al centro de Glasgow. Mi habitación estaba limpia y cómoda. Las escaleras que suben a las habitaciones son empinadas, pero es un edificio antiguo y no esperaría un ascensor en un pequeño establecimiento. El televisor no funcionaba ya que no había señal. Hay una pequeña caja con un control remoto separado adyacente a la televisión, pero no había instrucciones. El sitio web dice que cada habitación tiene Sky TV completa, pero este no es el caso. Decepcionantemente un desayuno cocinado no estaba disponible hasta las 09. 30 . Como tuve que salir a las 9 am no pude probar la opción cocinada. Se disponía de una opción continental razonable. El personal me pareció muy amable y eran un crédito a Rab Ha's. Me alojaría aquí de nuevo, pero me gustaría que el tema de la televisión se resuelva y se considere la posibilidad de ofrecer un desayuno cocinado antes.

Really nice staff and the Mac and cheese was amazing! Perfect meal for a chilly day

Well, the staff T-shirts say it all - "average staff"!! In fact, that's generous as I'd say they are less than average. Why? Well, it's all about customer service at a bar and when the bar is quiet and there is about 7 staff around it should be seconds before you are asked for an order. It was more like 5 mins and even then I had to shout down a member of staff - truly awful! When will bar managers and staff realise that it's all about serving customers quickly and efficiently. I'd recommend that the incompetent bar manager goes to the Piper Bar on George Square to see how a bar should be run Will never go back and if I hadn't been with family I would have walked out...shameful. For public, don't bother - go somewhere else as they deserve to have less custom for truly awful service

Very friendly staff. I was immediately upgraded to a bigger on arrival, without me even having seen the room that i should have been in! Really handy location, right in the centre. Breakfast was delicious, but no cooked option before 9.30am. On a Monday the ground floor public bar was quiet but not empty. I got a really good night's sleep.

Fantásticos haggis neeps y tetas con maíz o salsa de whisky. Gran ambiente y servicio. Hemos estado en Rab Ha's durante muchos años y nunca decepciona. Bien hecho a todo el personal. No puedo recomendar más!

Quaint little pub. Sells Budvar, also had Jarl (Loch Fyne Brewery).

Acabo de encontrar esta joya en Merchant City. Lo he pasado muchas veces, pero fue mi primera visita hoy. La comida era increíble... comimos macarrones con queso... brillante. Precios muy buenos también. Definitivamente volveré. Personal muy amable.

Estábamos de vacaciones en Glasgow y tuvimos algunos amigos de visita de Edimburgo. Reservamos para la cena y no nos decepcionó. Todos tuvimos diferentes platos y el era excelente. Buen servicio y ambiente y a un precio razonable. Iré de nuevo.

Best staff in town. Great pub and venue

Estábamos de vacaciones desde Londres y llevado a este pub por amigos que viven en Glasgow y alrededores. Todos disfrutamos de la comida. Gran variedad de comida y buen servicio. Sin duda volveríamos a ir si en la ciudad

Buena comida. Ambiente encantador. Sin duda recomendaría. Estaban muy ocupados... ¡pero aún así nos sentimos atendidos! Nuestras comidas eran Haggis, neeps & tatties y la hamburguesa. ¡Ambos deliciosos!

Lovely spot for a post work pint. Quality, lesser-spotted Estrella Galicia on draught.

A really nice bar and great food. Beer is pricey - but no worse than other city centre bars

Nice place for a drink good atmosphere

A wee Sunday vino with my buddy. Delightful relaxed atmosphere. Great wine & good vibes.

Good food good location and good service. Outdoor seating for whenever dinner decided to show up

Good food. Took a while to come but it was piping hot and tasty.

We loved the outdoor seating even though it was a bit cold and windy. The staff is friendly and nice. They are kid friendly however we didn't ask if they would allow children inside in the bar area. You get a good view of historic buildings especially the Hutchesons hall

A really good visit at Rab Ha’s for lunch. Pleasant food and friendly staff, highly recommended! We will certainly visit them at our next visit to Glasgow 😊

Sitting in the sun having a fabulous lunch. My fish and chips even had a gluten free crumb. Superb meal / highly recommended 10/10👍

Lovely food and excellent service. We had salmon teriyaki, haggis neeps & tatties and pudding...all great comfort food. Thank you

Had a family meal,Tuesday early evening, wonderful food, outstanding service from the two guys and the girl,great value for money, I think the best eating out experience I have had in ages.Cant recommend highly enough.

The only thing better than the food was the service. Where is the 6 star button. I can't recommend this place enough. Superb.

Nous sommes arrivés sans réservation et le restaurant était full. Nous avons demandé à pouvoir manger au bar, ce qui nous a gentiment été accordé. Le repas était très bon et copieux. Je recommande !

We ate here on our first night of a 3 day break and enjoyed it so much we returned on day 3. Service is friendly and attentive. We had someone with a food intolerance in our party and the staff were great at making sure our food was safe. Food was really tasty and there was lots of choice. Over our 2 visits we had had between us: the steak pie (highly recommended), the burger, the Cajun chicken, sausage and mash and the fish and chips. The only slightly disappointing meal was the fish but everything else was A1. I enjoyed the light humour on the menu and staff t-shirts and there was a good atmosphere.

This is a review of the pub. We had a skink soup and haggis for two people. Basic order? Perhaps. Absolutely delicious? Most definitely! The haggis portion was very generous - you have to be pretty hungry to get your own. Sitting outside, doing some people watching and enjoying our food with a pint was a great way to spend some time. Would definitely recommend this pub.

A welcoming venue with a cosy feel. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Food delicious, I chose the haggis, tatties and neeps. Log fire burning in the corner, but I sat in the window with good view of Hutcheson Street. Central location in Merchant City area so a handy stop off during my touristy day out.

Only had dinner here, but the steak pie was absolutely delicious and a great price. Really good beer and friendly helpful staff, well worth eating here.

Great food, excellent atmosphere, friendly staff.

Fantastic friendly staff and great food, a very enjoyable experience.

My daughter in law recommended Rab Ha s to me for a meal.She had been with friends last summer and really enjoyed it. I went with my daughter in law and sister in law for a dinner. The Staff were very friendly.We all ordered a drink and looked at the menu. We all picked our meals.All the meals were lovely and good size portions. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.The Staff were all lovely and made us welcome. We had a 90 minute slot so could relax and enjoy our meals. Would recommend highly and hope to go back soon.

Nice little pub. My friends and I popped into Rab Ha's for a quick drink. It's a nice cozy place with an open fire.

I’m writing this sitting on one of Rab Ha’s bed rooms. Room 2. Hello management if you are reading this! Not impressed. Really not impressed. I booked it - a double for my husband and me and he’s pretty pissed off at the star of it. When we arrived it was configured as a twin (“It was meant to be a double”, I said. “Ach, you can push beds together if you want” - said with a shrug) The bedroom is filthy. Not said lightly. It is filthy. When we pushed the beds together to make a double, we wished we hadn’t. There was years of dust underneath and behind the beds. The carpet was ripped. The room was BOILING hot. There is black mould in the shower and dust on every surface in the bathroom. At the moment several wee black flies are buzzing around the room. I’d rather be on a night out, but felt compelled to post NOW. I’ll update in the morning. Dust heaps in the corner. And the loo brush was just insanitary (see photos). There’s now a loud beeping noise like an alarm from the next door room. Won’t stop. So annoying. To be continued….

Popped in for lunch, great food and very friendly staff. Living flame fire in the corner was ideal on this cold winters day.

It is a great location and they have good food. The staff were excellent and the room had all the required facilities for making a tea or coffee. As the bar was very busy, no table available, they delivered my food order to my room. The bathroom, however, required a wee bit of DIY. The shower was leaking, sink chipped, and the toilet seat requires to be tightened / fixed. The cooked breakfast was nice, and there was a choice options for a continental style breakfast. Nice having breakfast in front of the fire. Cooked breakfast starts at 9.30am so if you are an early riser, you may miss out. It is also an additional £10.

Great wee spot, lovely food and a really nice team

Such a lovely meal with brilliant service. Highly recommended.

We had such a good experience, the room was lovely, food was amazing and the staff is just the friendliest. Highly recommend!

Food fabulous but restaurant is freezing we had to ask staff twice about the lack of heating,we ending up having 2 drink's taken off bill (we did not ask for this) thinking we are not the only customers to complain about the place being so cold. Staff super friendly and on the he ball but won't return until ins the summer.

Incredible lodging, great location, and the breakfast was delicious. Plus everyone who worked there was so so kind and helpful. We loved it for our wedding trip!

Great Bar fab food lovely staff

This is a very good pub with great pub food but it’s freezing and I’m not exaggerating. They are trying to heat the whole pub with a fire at one end of the bar, if your not sitting at the fire your going to be cold. I don’t nor bother with the cold but even I struggled with it and when I looked around the bar most people we’re sitting with jackets on and some even had their hats on. I get energy prices are through the roof but if you want your customers to stay and drink you nee to make them comfortable and at least warm. Our party of 8 had our food and moved on to somewhere warmer. Note to the owner. You cannot hope to heat the whole bar area with a small fire at one end when you have a double door in the middle and it’s -2 outside.

Tab Ha’s was recommended to us by a tour guide for a great place to try local food and we couldn’t have been more impressed, the staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was amazing and there was a great range of local beers. I would definitely recommend others to eat here.

Excellent pub very homely and welcoming would highly recommend if u like a cosier environment

Only had a meal didn't stay Meal was lovely

Here for a small friends gathering. Food was pre ordered ahead of the day. Some starters missed, main courses very late out. Food was ok staff very friendly and did knock meals off bill.

Travelled through from Edinburgh for a catch up with friends having booked this restaurant. A little surprised on arriving to see how small the dining area was. For some reason I had expected a proper dining area but it’s basically tables and chairs placed around a bar. Getting to the meal, two of the four of us had soup to start and both soups were said to be nice. Cullen Skink and the soup of the day - Scotch Broth. Mains chosen were steak pie times three and fish and chips. The pie was delicious. Plenty of very tender meat and gravy inside and crusty pastry. Lovely mash with carrots and peas. The fish was reported to be a little dry. Two of us opted for the sticky toffee pudding with yummy sauce and ice cream. Again delicious. All in all we had a lovely time here. Most of the tables were busy by the time we left. Shout out to the two young servers who were very friendly. Service was quick and efficient.

We had some good beers and lovely food in this pub. It was the first time we tried haggis, and it was great. We also had a lovely salmon (we share our meals). The service was good and they recommended nice bars to see football. I would recommend this place.

The best meal I had in my 10-day trip through Scotland. Also the best atmosphere. They have a few gluten-free options for food and drinks.

Quaint, delightful little place I booked a room here quite late so didn't know quite what to expect outside of a few reviews. Very pleasantly surprised! Unlike most reviewers I can't comment on the bar food or drink as I didn't really have the time to test out, but the room (1 of just 4!) was great, very comfy bed and cosy feel. Any quibbles (slightly cramped space-wise, some bathroom products not topped up) were just that. The continental breakfast the next morning was simple, unfussy but very good, the option for cooked is there for an extra tenner (also looked excellent). Staff were very friendly and helpful, neighbourhood classy in the Merchant City area. A lovely find.

Fab food at reasonable prices and the staff are friendly and helpful.

We had been on a tour all day and wanted a quick early dinner. We were able to get a table easily and ordered the wonderful Cullen skink (fish chowder), veggie burger, cheese sandwich with onion chutney (so good!!) and steak pie. Lovely food and attentive service. Great meal!

Relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff.

An excellent and cosy little pub / eaterie in Glasgow's cosmopolitan Merchant City area. Same owners as the equally excellent nearby Babbity Bowster. Friendly, helpful staff. Great beers, a good choice of wines and tasty unfussy food cooked with care. Not sure why I haven't gone in before but safe to say I'll definitely be back regularly.

Great atmosphere dog friendly bar too

Always love the location, around the corner from bus stop.. Went in for a couple of drinks and nothing else. Prices a bit expensive but for city centre what else can you expect, also it is a hotel so prices will be higher. Service polite but it was around 11.30am so nobody else in. I'm sure that the atmosphere is different in the evenings.

The food was absolutely outstanding. It's very tasty. The crouchettes were amazing and not one bit of Ayrshire ham anywhere near it. The chicken burger was also top of the range. Friendly staff and very well situated.

Good location. Tables inside & outside available. Food was tasty! Reasonable price.

Wow, this place was recommended to us by our Scottish friends and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing, delicious to say the least and the staff are really friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Glasgow. We had the steak pie and the cajun toasted sandwich. Compliments to the chef, truly delicious 😋

What can I say this place is amazing. We will definitely be going back again. The room was brilliant just want we needed nothing too fancy and the bed was really comfortable. The staff are lovely and friendly and give you a really welcoming feeling. The food 😋 😍 oh my days we had the steak pie and it was the best pie we have ever had. The cooked breakfast that you can get for an extra charge is amazing and if you have never tried haggis or black pudding. My advice is try it you may surprise yourself I did and enjoyed it. Could not fault the level of Customer Service here at all it is truly unbelievable definitely 5⭐️ in my book.

Great pub; delicious haggis, tatties and neaps!! 🙂😋

Stayed overnight and had amazing dinner and breakfast (as you can see in the photos). The staff went way beyond expectations. I would definitely return to this gem. The var and food area is small, so book in advance if you can. Great for food, or just a drink, as well as buffer rooms to stay. They also have a function suite downstairs, which is handy if guests want to stay and make a night of it. Staff kept a hold of my cases after checkout, too, which ibcollected 12 hours later. I love this place and highly recommend it for a stunning meal in a variety with loadsa history.

Great pub good atmosphere mix if ages

We found this place by accident and really glad we did!! The staff were friendly and a lovely atmosphere for lunch. Great selection of food. The steak pie was the best one I have tasted in some time, great value for the price! We will...

Bel pub con schermi per le partite

Vriendelijke bediening en klanten. Normaal en goed eten. Redelijke prijzen. Aanrader voor iedereen die in Glasgow is.

We had a table booked for 7pm but unfortunately Rab Ha booking system hasn’t updated correctly and there was no tables available when we got in. No problem to the not Average Staff though, the young gentleman with the dark curly hair (sorry, I didn’t...

Staff were amazing. Place was packed (always a good sign) and we managed to grab a picnic table outside. Atmosphere was great and weather was awesome. The food was superb. We tried lots of small plates and loved every one of them.

Went to the pub on a recommendation. It’s a very busy place, which is a good indicator. We ordered Haggis Neeps and Tatties with Peppercorn Sauce. My first experience with haggis. It was delicious, the turnip and potatoes perfect, and the peppercorn sauce great. Also ordered the steak pie with fries which were as good as it gets. Sticky Toffee Pudding was wonderful. This place serves first class food. We loved it. The wait staff are friendly.

Had a drink here only. Staff friendly and efficient. Nice ambience.

Personnel très gentil, lit et oreiller parfaits, ainsi que le repas, à conseiller

This place is quaint and amazing. The staff are helpful and polite, the room is clean and pleasant, and it's all conveniently located. I would absolutely book here again.

Hadn’t been in for a few years but glad we popped in for drinks with our grandson and his partner. We only wanted drinks but were able to use a reserved table. Popular spot in merchant city. Saw some people’s food all looked good will...

Last minute booking for a drink and a bite to eat in Glasgow with family. Fairly regular visitor and enjoyed the food once again, everyone at our table enjoyed their food. The bar was busy but the staff ensured we got our food all at...

An excellent pub, would thoroughly recommend to non Glaswegians. Great place to grab some good food and enjoy the atmosphere.

We were looking for somewhere different from our usual dining haunts and booked after reading positive reviews. We were certainly not disappointed. The food served was hearty and enjoyable (the steak pie deserves a particular mention), the service was friendly and well judged. We will...
