This bar is for those who love Rock and Metal. Awesome music. Great drinks. I have a feeling this will be a staple bar when I’m out in Glasgow. 10/10 can’t wait to come back.

Nice alcohol free visit this time around. It's getting pricey but everywhere is. Great rock and metal tunes for 8ish on a Saturday night. There seems to be a little more stuff on the walls these days which helps and they still have the coolest bathrooms with tiles distressed to look like aged copper. The 2nd bar upstairs is totally underused and is a nice refuge. Can't wait to come back in for a proper session.

Been coming here for decades. Glad it survived the lockdown. The food's good (update: the food is gone 😟), the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is unique. I do wish they'd dump the video screens showing movies and TV shows. They're distracting when you're in conversations and if I want to watch TV I'll stay home.

Love this bar especially the upstairs smoke area on the roof. It’s ideal so you don’t need to go stand and loiter outside the front. The music is always decent and love the comfy sofas. Staff are chilled and pleasant too.

Awful service. Poor food. Very expensive and limited selection. Beers didn’t taste good like the lines need a good clean. For a rock bar the music was pretty poor like listening to the classic rock radio station. Wouldn’t rush back

First time here last month (Saturday night in Glasgow) and I came in to meet a friend and whilst I was waiting they had my favourite film on (saving private Ryan) and my kinda music as well as some Guinness for the Irish person I am. It was perfect. I would have gladly sat there myself to watch the film and have some drinks! I enjoyed the kinder flavoured drinks too (white Russian?) The atmosphere was very good and I really had a lovely time there… my friend wanted to leave (I secretly hated him at this point) but to be a good pal I went with him but seriously I wanted to spend my evening here! Next time :) especially if there’s such great films playing like epic war films or something similar. Best time thank you! 🖤🖤✨that was my first night out in town In about 1.5 years so it meant a lot

Awesome place to be to come, hang out and listen to good music. Rooftop area was difficult to find but once you know where it's easy to get to. Music was a little too loud for me and my friends to where sitting in the rooftop area for the quieter music was more preferable. Staff were very friendly, chatty and even allowed me to request a song or two.

Excellent service. Our waiter, Sid, was fantastic with my son. He checked in regularly offering different little things to keep him entertained and give him some attention. This was really helpful as my lunch buddy was late and my toddler could easily have become a bored handful. His personalised stamp was really appreciated 😂 😆 The coffee was great and the food was lovely. Haven't been in years but we'll be back!

Lovely and polite service, although the lady did obviously try and upsell us. Nonetheless, we look forward to our food. My partner’s steak arrived overdone, no big deal. However, my burger was very burnt. My partner tried it to confirm it was burnt, disappointing especially at that price. I work in the industry so I get it, but just don’t send out a meal you won’t eat. All whilst being serenaded to loud corporate pop which absolutely murders the atmosphere. I would give a miss.
