Red Sky Bar in Glasgow City

Abysmal service, left waiting to be seated for ages, when finally sat down was told table service only, 20 minutes later still no service, 4 members of staff just standing at the bar talking and messing about and the place was not even busy. Walked out after getting fed up of the wait. Staff need training in even how to complete the basic task of their job which is to serve customers, not mess about with colleagues at the bar.

Booked here for nibbles and drinks for our work Xmas night out attending Culture Club at hydro. We were really looking forward to going and seeing the views as have heard a lot about it. Unfortunately the bar staff working on Fri 13th Dec let the place down massively. There was a very flat feeling at the bar, no team work, waiting on drinks for ages, no eye contact from staff serving others to say be with you in a minute etc, a guy can on shift while waiting but didn’t look like he wanted to be there either, eventually one of us asked if everything was ok, and were told that it’s very stressful working behind the bar as very busy etc, I understand this but there needs to be more organisation. They ran out of Rose wine and wine glasses too, we were sorted at our table a bit earlier than our booking which was good however the table was dirty and needed wiped from previous customers. There was one member of staff on the floor who was very bubbly and offered suggestions from the nibbles menus and was smily and chatty, and another girl behind the bar working quickly and doing the best she could, however the rest of the bar staff were certainly wearing the right Xmas shirts with The Grinch on them as there was no pleasantries or festive cheer, we felt we were an inconvenience at the bar waiting to order drinks. Management need to address this issue as it would put customers off returning, most people at the bar were all saying the same. We understand it’s busy at this time of year, but mangers should be prepared for this and have their staff ready to deal with it. We all have busy jobs too and were looking forward to enjoying our annual night out but it was somewhat spoiled due to the service.

First time I went here the barman said take a seat and he'd attend to me but took ages to come back so I left. Second time recently I stood at bar to order a wine and was ignored by two staff fapping about with cocktails so gave up again. Like to sit up in this bar and enjoy the scenery but the staff don't care about a casual customer!

Place was awesome, great decor little touches like lift service all round 10/10 music atmosphere food just go well worth it.

Absolutely loved it. Will be back!

Great views, drinks and atmosphere. Was too cold to sit out on the terrace but still had a great time

Found this via google when looking for bars to go to. Was a great find, good views of Glasgow and the OVO arena. We only had cocktails but they were great. The barman with the beard and manbun made a great old fashioned, done correctly for the correct amount of time. Absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately the barman after him made it in less than half the time and the difference to any old fashioned drinker is obvious. Bar wasn’t particularly busy so he did have the opportunity to slow it down a bit. My partners drinks were great. And no complaints there. Would like to visit again

Did not have food but the drinks, ambience and staff was fabulous. The live music too was fab. Excellent place

Paula is one of the best! First class customer service and a credit to The Radisson Red! We had a great time in The Sky Bar and Paula’s professionalism is the only reason we will be back!! Thanks for making a special night even better than we expected, your customer service skills were exemplary!

Had an afternoon tea, nice but very sparce, think I prefer traditional afternoon tea.

Always the best spot to be loved everything.

Me and my friend got service from Polly. She was amazing. We had the best time here. I've been here before a few times and it's always been amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a wee bit expensive but definitely one of the best places to chill in Glasgow. Everyone and anyone should try this place once. This place does not do proper food just nibbles but all the same worth it. There is an outside balcony with seats and heaters. This place will not let you down 😁😎👍🏼

Worth a visit, good views of the river

Perfect place to chill out in Glasgow, beautiful cocktails and spirits with a great view! Recommend for those who want to sit back and even spot some planes taking off from Glasgow airport!

El personal (en particular la anfitriona ) con una excepción eran desagradables. nos sentamos en la terraza exterior y nos dieron un rollo de papel de cocina para limpiar nuestra mesa - los clientes que vinieron después simplemente lo pasaron alrededor. La comida y los cócteles eran geniales - lástima del servicio.

Great vibe from this place. From the lighting, the decor and the bar. Definitely recommend this place. Drinks are quite expensive and unfortunately it was Glens vodka they used instead of Smirnoff which isn't the biggest issue, Great view's from the sky bar over the Clyde which makes the expensive alcohol worth it.

Cocktails and food were 1st class. Looking out over the Clyde was amazing.

Un excelente lugar excelente comida y bebidas. Mi pareja tomó algunos cócteles y me quedé con el Guinness, una excelente pinta. Teníamos unos platos pequeños ya que solo queríamos un aperitivo ya que íbamos a un concierto en la OVO. La vista era impresionante y sin duda volveremos en los próximos meses cuando estemos abajo para otro concierto. Las mejores notas y lo recomiendo a todos.

Looked forward to coming here,waited 30 minutes before we were served a drink even though we asked many times, had it booked as well,.

Good choice of sandwiches and small plates. Service was prompt and food was tasty.

Fui a almorzar a Red Sky. La comida estaba bien, pero casi autoservicio. Tardamos una eternidad en pedir, una eternidad en venir, fuimos al bar a buscar nuestras propias bebidas. Probablemente no volvería.

Great views lovely vibes and drinks ☺️

Waited a while to visit here and were both really disappointed. Attended prior to hydro concert so pretty busy but staff were just stressed and couldn't manage a smile between them, really poor service. Booked a table and expected some waited service but just have to stand at a very busy bar to order ?. On a time limit with your booking also. Food arrived at table before we had even got our drinks at the bar . Over priced bites !!! of food. Bar was filthy and absolutely chaos stuff everywhere. Offered a spritz in aa tiny glass as no clean glasses so bar members had to use my previous glass. Toilet hanging off the wall leaking on to floor. Sink area flooded. Not a great experience. Style over any substance. Beautiful views especially when sun was setting but not worth the visit. Shame thought it would be really fab.

Different style of afternoon tea,but food was good as was service

The view says it all and if you get a good day even better , we had a Cream Tea gift from Friends and I would recommend to any one....

Superb customer service from poppy, Connor, Issac and ella

Arrived for afternoon tea with friends and there seemed to be a mix up with tables but Jenna was very professional and sorted out the problem. She went out of her way to make sure that we had a wonderful afternoon. The afternoon tea was lovely but the staff more than made up for the initial mix up.

Had a brilliant experience here when I attended with some work colleagues. Really high level of friendly service, we had the joy of being hosted by the amazing Jenna! Thank you so much!

Good view. Good wifi speed. Nice coffee. The glasses were a bit dirty and had to ask for clean ones a few times. But staff seems to be friendly

Great selection of tunes, at a volume enough to enjoy them but also to talk. Cool vibes with awesome views and good drinks. Wouldn’t recommend the small plates, very expensive for mid flavour and portions; but otherwise excellent place. I’ll keep bringing my first-dates here.

Went here for a special birthday was met by Jenna who was very friendly and made it feel special for us .we were then served by Anna who was also very pleasant and made us some lovely cocktails nothing was a bother to them both .Food was also lovely .well done girls keep up the hard work .

Had a fantastic time at an event hosted here the other night! The views are unbeatable and it was so nice to have both a protected space from the rain and outdoor space when it was dry and I needed fresh air. Paula and Poppy took such good care of us, and I had a delightful elderflower cocktail made by Leo behind the bar—Jasper was also working the bar and kept the delicious drinks coming! Highly recommend.

Nice views and a great place for a few drinks.

Excellent place, great atmosphere and staff and fantastic cocktails. Busy when we were there but we were shown to our table quickly and plenty of staff on the bar so didn’t wait long to be served. Special mention to Paula who spoke to us and made sure our evening was great!

Nice place to have a drink or eat. Acceptable and good food but very slow service, 45 minutes until they served us the food after much insistence

Excellent views over the city - plenty to see. Comfortable seating inside and out. Wide range of drinks and nice service - thanks to Paula and her team.

We have stayed twice now at Radisson Red recently. Booked a table for drinks at Sky Bar. We both had small lite bite plates to share in the afternoon which were lovely. Served by a new staff member on Sunday. Very professional. We both had West Beer and a few cocktails. Sam served us our drinks in the afternoon. The staff I have met in Sky Bar have been lovely. Jenna, Andrew and Erin. Arran good at making Old Fashioneds.

Excellent venue, helped by the super service by Paula and Poppy

We called in here for drinks as recommended by a lady on the train prior to our night at the Armadillo. We didn’t eat as it was just a drinks stop off, but the food we saw looked lovely. Drinks were reasonably price with a great selection obviously but it was the view and the atmosphere of the bar terrace that made it. Super place to drink and would definitely recommend.

Been here a few times & it’s been very good, booked for 830pm Saturday 27th July. Other times been earlier, possibly that’s the issue this time. Our booked table was fine but various other tables not cleaned / cleared of glasses etc. paying £12 for a cocktail to be put into a wine glass or beer glass is very poor service. I also saw others complaining about cocktail quality. Bar service not great either, 4 / 5 bar tenders but slow service. Hopefully a blip as usually it’s good.

Had a anniversary drinks and food here; gorgeous and unique views over the Clyde and a fun selection of drinks. Snack food were really good and varied too. Lovely, polite staff too

Me and my partner came here for our anniversary and were treated to excellent food, drinks and service with a great view over the Clyde. We had booked an inside table but there were no issues with moving outside to enjoy the rare sun while it lasted. Our server Sophie was friendly and attentive, recommending lovely in-house cocktails, and we felt well-tended to all evening. Will recommend to all friends!

First time in the Sky Bar, from the moment we arrived at the Hotel we were greeted warmly, the Bar itself has a great atmosphere and the views are spectacular especially once night falls. Special mention to Andy and Erin-Ella who were friendly, warm and extremely welcoming

We had a wonderful visit at the Red Sky bar in Raddison Red Glasgow. The food was delicious and offered a few vegetarian options. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was modern and vibrant, making it a great place to relax. #avthewanderlust

We were staying in Glasgow for 1 night in a nearby hotel, went to the Sky Bar for the sunset and ordered 2 cocktails, the waitress was really inexperienced in making the cocktails and for £25 for 2 drinks, they were very disappointing. We complained and the manager was very quick to resolve, he offered us a replacement drink and refunded us our money. The waitress in question wasn't very happy that we complained and we seen her talking about us as we left the hotel as she pointed us out to a colleague, which wasn't very professional, it wasn't a personal attack on her but the cocktails really were shockingly bad for the price. We had some food in the bar which was lovely and the view and atmosphere were very nice, we didn't let the situation put us off as the Manager was very helpful.

Amazing experience. Staff are amazing and the views sensational. Jenna was unbelievable in helping us experience this place to the most. So polite and catered to all our needs. Will be back because of her (and the views!). Thank you very much!!

From the room to the Sky Bar, we had an amazing visit. We really enjoyed the cocktails and the view. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Paula was an absolute ray of sunshine. Asked questions to find out what we would like to drink and made recommendations. We can’t wait to come back and are hoping to make a return soon! ❤️

Brilliant night at the Sky Bar. Drinks were amazing and loved the vegan options available. Paula was a fab host and made us feel welcomed! 100% be back!

We purchased 3 vouchers from a 5pm.com deal which was for 3 small plates and a cocktail, beer or soft drink for 2 people for each voucher. The food was cheap quality and unappetizing in fact it was rubbish. As for the cocktails the staff were incompetent and didn't know how to make them and one ever asked am I shaking the cocktail shaker properly. We purchased additional cocktails and even although we ordered the same cocktails they were completely different when the staff changed shift. We ordered long cocktail Sunrise and although the first one wasn't great it was in a tall glass. The same cocktail ordered later was put into a small cocktail glass and was all mixed together with no appearance of a sunrise. It was just a cloudy orange colour. A couple next to us ordered the same sunrise and got a small glass like ours and theirs was red in colour. When they asked why they never got a tall glass they were told we don't have any tall glasses and when they asked why it was red they were told that too much grenadine was put in it. The staff are clueless, incompetent and the service is very very slow. All in all it was a total waist of money and I would not recommend this place or this deal to anyone.

Would like to give Poppy a massive thanks for her hosting and hospitality. We will definitely be back. Music, atmosphere and service is second to none. Thank you Poppy Jay & John

Great bar with beautiful views on Glasgow

Spent a couple of hours here admiring the view on a lovely sunny night. Staff were very accommodating in finding a nice table and delivered a couple of glasses of fizz on the house as it was our wedding anniversary.

Great bar and great service from Leo!

First four cocktails I requested they didn't have ingredients or didn't know how to make. Eventually got a cocktail and it was vile tasted like vinegar. Staff could've cared less. Took forever to get served. Waited forever for food that was dry overcooked and cold. Only thing going for this place is the view. Tried to speak to someone but they really didn't care one bit. Cancelled future reservations. Shocking

Nice bar, with that certain something. Although it is a Bar, the few foods that are offered should be better.

Amazing service, lovely cocktails. Thanks jasper x

The afternoon tea had stale donuts and a curdled yoghurt drink and the other bits were not very appetising. The staff were unsure if the whopping price included tea/coffee. The glasses were not clean with marks and lipstick, the toilet was flooding onto the floor and after asking for water 3 times it finally came 10 mins before we left. Nice views and a nice atmosphere but way overpriced and a disappointing experience.

Lovely birthday cocktails with great snacks and a stunning view. Jasper was our fabulous bartender. Highly recommend. We’ll be back.

Great venue. Fab views and good drinks/food. Served by Jasper who was charming.

Love this place, amazing atmosphere and views. Andrew and the rest of the staff add to the relaxed but vibrant feel of the bar. Food and cocktails as great as the view. Will be back soon I hope.

Stumbled across this bar during our bachelorette party and fell in love!! Best cocktails and especially the bartender Finlay was just amazing (and super handsome omg)! Ended up spending the whole evening there and enjoyed Finlay's bartending skills, highly recommended!!

Elissa and Jack served us on our first visit to Red Sky Bar and were outstanding. I worked in bars for at least 6 years and could tell these people really knew what they were doing. Really friendly but professional and knowledgeable. They added to the great atmosphere in the place. Also, genuinely the best espresso martinis I've ever had 👌🏻

Jeez such a disappointment- great views but gawd total inability to provide decent, never mind quality experience when in fact you have everything in place to do so. Negroni - worst ever - & no orange for garnish as apparently out of supply??!!! Hugo Spritz with wilting mint garnish too. Ordered food & the dismay just continued squid rings that were thread thin, cold chicken skewers. Unbelievably poor experience on a fabulous sunny Glasgow day. You simply could not lose unless you just don’t care about your customers. This is the Radisson but gawd it’s acting like a 2-3 star provider. Gear up guys & sort this nonsense out. Atmosphere only scored high as it had nothing to do with the Radisson.

Went to the skybar today and it was a brilliant experience despite being very busy! Poppy was excellent and so was Sophie! Good chat from both of them! I can’t recommend enough!

Love photos of the trophyless Krumbledome against the Green and White of the hydro, probably holding a gathering of sorts for the Champions

Booked last minute prior to going to the Armadillo for the evening. The staff on the phone couldn’t have been nicer but unfortunately the same can’t be said about who appeared to be the manager of the sky bar. His attitude was terrible (possibly stressed as they had a private event on later in the evening but that wasn’t our fault) tables were cluttered with glasses from previous customers, floors at the bar area were sticky and there was no atmosphere. The attitude of this specific manager has put us off and we will not be back nor will we recommend in the future.

Great place to visit, good beer and great views, staff know there job very relaxing but take a few quid.

Visited for afternoon tea, took a while to get seated, then when we were, we were told bar service only. The afternoon tea was a poor offering as per the picture. I got a gluten free one, was given cream and jam, but no scone or anything to put it on and only one cake. We had to go to the bar to request coffee and then before we got our gin that was included, everyone was told that they had to leave in 10 mins for a private function. We were given it, but had to take it downstairs. The bar person serving us was lovely, but the manager didn’t seem interested.

An excellent top floor bar and restaurant in Glasgow. The view from the floor is amazing. Food and service is even better. Overall, a good place to go for dates and hangouts. Price for food is also worth it.

Need to be more professional as its a hotel.

Lovely bar, lovely staff and amazing views from this location. Had a few drinks in the evening and some small bites which were very tasty. Got to see the sunset as well

The wine was tasteless….expected much more given the price. The bar staff were arguing over an order in full view and hearing of customers….not professional. Confusion over food orders meant a table got cold food. Our food was tasty but some of it was cold. People taking drinks back due to taste. The female bar person was miserable bordering on rude. Tables weren’t wiped between customers. People smoking in close proximity to people eating….the area should be no smoking/vaping. We booked a table online assuming we could sit outside but it seemed a free for all with walk ins taking outside tables. This should be a fantastic experience….instead it was very disappointing. The only real highlight was watching the sunset.

Had booked the Sky Bar for drinks and small plates prior to a show. Sat happily at a corner table however after eating requested a move to a window seat. Jenna was kind enough to allow us to move to an empty window seat for the best part of an hour prior to other guests arriving for their table. Beautiful evening, Glasgow had sunshine ☀️, refreshing drinks (thank you bar staff), lovely food (thank you to the kitchen staff), lovely views (thank you Glasgow for being sunny for once!). Thanks for the window seat Jenna! (Promised a good review 😜)

Had the most amazing night at the sky bar! Got to enjoy some delicious cocktails with a stunning view! Izzy’s cocktail skills are to die for, easily some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The staff were really attentive and ensured that we had the best experience possible so huge thank you to Izzy, Poppy and Andrew for making our night so good🩷

Had the most amazing night in the sky bar! Popped in for a few cocktails and the staff were nothing but perfect, Izzy, Andrew and Poppy really made our night perfect and Izzy’s cocktails were delish easily one of the best cocktails I’ve had!! And the view was stunning especially during the sunset. Will definitely be coming back here

Booking was moved to restaurant bar, without notice or apology due to a private function! Extremely poor!

One of the few places in Glasgow with a rooftop bar. Views of the Hydro and up the Clyde. Drinks with standard rooftop bar inflation applied. Went after work for a couple of drinks and was quiet, probably mobbed at the weekend.

Wow, what a view, and what a lovely afternoon tea, it was a 70th birthday surprise. Staff are so lovely and attentive. Thank you xx

Lovely afternoon tea and the service by Jenna was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely visit again in the future.

Great people with great fun attitudes. We’re very familiar with area and made great recommendations.

I should start off by saying the veiw from the sky bar is satisfying, especially good for an evening with a drink and book. Next is the staff, there are brilliant. I saw 4 of them while I was there, Jen was amazing, multiple funcky cocktail along side poppy and was great to chat to. Joe was a great laugh, checked in on me periodically throughout the evening to make sure I was okay and I met Connor and Poppy through my time there, they were also lovely to chat to. Pull at that together with and a nice atmosphere after a long day, I would say if your in glasgow for an evening and happen to be round the Raddison, or lucky enough to stay with them, you should pop in, its well worth the visit.

We had a fantastic time at the Red Sky Bar last night. Went for light bites and drinks pre going to The Armadillo. We chose 5 light bite plates between the two of us which was perfect. All the plates very yum and service was fab. View was incredible on a rare sunny day in Glasgow.

Horrendous. Inattentive staff. Forgotten orders. Didn’t clear the table. Food options poor.

Poppy and Romanie were excellent, lovely service and really accommodating, cocktails were spot on and were more than happy to help us with recommendations. Would definitely return next time in Glasgow

Had a great experience this afternoon out on the balcony, marranella was very friendly and so was the boy with blonde hair jasper made us some non alcoholic cocktails! Think her name was Izzy! She was very lovely and chatted about the conference at the secc!

Visited the sky bar on Sunday night for some drinks and had the loveliest experience! The staff were so accommodating and really made sure we had the best night possible ! Such a nice atmosphere for a chilled drinks with a stunning view! A shoutout to Andrew, Joe, Poppy and Sophie who were working behind the bar, so lovely and friendly, will definitely be back!

Had the best night here the best service and amazing cocktails couldn’t fault anything, thanks to Joe poppy andrew and Sophie for the great service will be back!!

Randomly popped into the Sky Bar on a Saturday afternoon, and without a booking got a table for 2. A drink each and loaded fries were fine - and prices pretty reasonable I thought. We had a very pleasant 45 minutes or so looking out at an interesting view [and rainy of course] of the Glasgow landscape. Definitely worth a visit. Waiters Cameron & Martin were very helpful / cheery / welcoming.

We had a fab time staff were brilliant, fab table only one thing was odd we had afternoon tea which was lovely but l assumed tea or coffee was included ,not here it seems . All in all great service fab place

A bar in the sky with great views of the city! Bar tenders are friendly and efficient! A very chill environment ☺️

Took the 3 small plates and drinks for two deal (£25). Cocktails were delicious, and the three small plates were sufficient for two people as a large snack / small dinner. Haggis sausage rolls, chicken tikka skewers and bao buns were tasty. I'd suggest booking a window seat in advance, and try (Glasgow weather dependent!) going on a sunny / not cloudy / dry day. Take sunglasses, as the sun pours in later in the day! Also, go as the city lights come on & the sun goes down for best dramatic effect....so 4:30 pm booking in winter?. Outside terrace is great too when it's not too cold.

We booked a slot in the roof bar (they only allow 1.45 hrs) and there was just not enough staff on which essentially meant we were standing at the bar waiting to get served for most if it. We then went downstairs to the bar as we were asked to leave our seats (even though there was no one waiting to go in to them). Once down in the main bar, same poor service with little staff on! People were asked to queue to the side of the bar out of the way to hide us away from view. For the money you pay for dri ks and food, this was quite a disgrace.. On a better note, the staff were generally quite pleasant however, you could see that they too were embarrassed by the low staff levels.

What a fantastic place to relax in. Amazing views of the river Clyde and surrounding areas of the city. Great food and a brilliant selection of drinks to choose from. On our visit we met Jenna and Jack, two wonderful staff members who could not be more helpful. Great bar complimented by fantastic friendly staff, thanks very much Jenna and Jack you really made our stay a little bit more special.

My best friend and I had a great time at the sky bar thanks to Jenna. We had been sitting in a corner seat and Jenna was kind enough to move us to a window seat to take advantage of the view. She had a good giggle with us and made sure to make us feel welcome and just genuinely lovely. I could overhear her helping guests on the phone and fixing issues and she did it all with a smile, what a gem! The cocktails and small plates were fab and I make this a default when I have friends visiting.

Jenna was fantastic! She was so friendly and provided a great service. She recommended some cocktails for us which were absolutely brilliant!

We were here last week and had a great day with fantastic service from Jenna. We can back today and had similar service! Friendly, helpful and attentive. And Jenna came over to welcome us back again! We will definitely be back again. Thank you!!

Tasty well presented snack food. Friendly and attentive staff. Great view and cocktails.

Fantastic view, and lovely food. Staff are very kind too. Worth trying if you're staying.

Popped in with friends without a booking on Saturday 9th March the bar was very busy and all tables were booked but Jenna went through the booking system and was able to accommodate us by offering us a table for 50 mins and then got us onto a second table for another hour. Jenna was a great host very accommodating and very friendly. We are staying at the hotel next week and hope the staff next week will be as good as Jenna.
