Shabby entrance belies the warm and plush interior where the welcome is warm and hospitality generous. Members only.

Went here with a friend and had some nice whiskies. Place is very nice n swanky. Its members only. Did sit in a little closed section and seating could have been better. Did ask the waiter what Malt of the Month was. To be greeted with I really should know that. As my friend said Yeah well there is only 12 of them..lol

One of the best bars... I suppose I have to add, in Glasgow, and that it's a member's bar... But it still is one of the best bars. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great food, AMAZING whisky. And good beer thanks to West Brewery too. Fab times. Thanks to the team.

Brilliant visit this evening - dinner and ambiance were first rate but it was the patient and attentive service we got from Tim that was the true highlight of the evening. He took time to discuss our preferences in whisky and help guide us towards the right drams a Glen Garioch 19yo and a Blair Athol 15yo - these went down a treat and were reasonably priced. Looking forward to a return visit the next time we're in Glasgow.

They should have a day pass. £85 to get in if you're a visitor to town is dumb, particularly when it's a Saturday night and the place is deserted. If it was £30 and you got something to drink, we'd probably have done it and spent twice that.

An oasis in the middle of Glasgow. If you didn't know where it was you'd walk straight past. A very cosy yet spacious bar / restaurant with really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Either pick a whisky from the magazines on the table, or tell the staff what your taste is and see what is delivered, you won't be disappointed! Hundreds of different whiskies to choose from. Had dinner there too and the food was spectacular. Started with the smoked salmon mousse and whisky smoked salmon slices. Easily the best smoked salmon I've had in years. The ox cheek bourguignon was spectacular. Unbelievably tender meet, creamy mash potato and perfectly balanced flavours.

Wonderful bar with a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always very welcoming and knowledgeable on whisky - staff members Tim and Chris gave us some great recommendations. We also saw them deal very well with a group of 12 people last night who didn’t have enough memberships and then became very rude and aggressive with the staff. A lot of bad reviews seem to be because guests turn up without memberships and expect to be allowed in with no questions asked - it is called a “members bar” surely it’s pretty obvious that you need a membership! Takes a few seconds to check this on the website. Would highly recommend.

Awful. Staff are pretentious and rude and not a reflection of Glasgow at all. I would be embarrassed if foreign visitors think this a true representation of Glasgow or Scotland as a whole. Absolutely negative experience on the 3 separate times I have visited. I believe in 2nd chances but sorry 3 strikes and you're out. I will not be renewing my membership and will never set foot in any of their premises again!!!

My first ever night in Glasgow I have reserved a table for dinner through the app provided in Google. During the reservation process, When asked, I had the option to state I am not a member and the app confirmed my booking. Only when I have arrived at the SMES I was told that I MUST first pay the annual membership fee to enter. They should be clear about this both in their site and their booking platform. So my bad vote is for not providing their services.

The best SMWS location bar none! Worth every penny of the membership cost if you don't already have one. Whisky, bourbon, Armañac, cognac, rum, etc. Barrel proof and exceptional service. A must experience!

Was quite shocked at the experience as I was told this location was the best. Only had one pour as my server barely came by to check on me, didn't seem knowledgeable, or chat about recommendations. Was quite attentive to the gentleman's table next to me though. Been a member for over 3 years so was sad this was my first experience here.

Came here for the first time because my friend had a voucher for a whisky tasting. A couple of wee hitches on our side but we're quickly sorted by the staff! Amazing team there, friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. I've had a membership for a wee while but it was the first time actually going, regretting not going sooner now! Will definitely be back. The decor is amazing and the place clean and tidy. When I think about a great place to drink whisky, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Glasgow ticks all the boxes. Might have to get along to the Edinburgh ones and see how they match up.

If you love whisky this members only club is a must! I went as a members guest and it is the bougiest place I have ever been. The whisky is phenomenal, the snacks are tasty and the vibe is "very fancy old man in his study" but in the best way. Prices range from pretty standard bar prices to insane once in a life time. I drank middle of the range drams which were £13 each

Fantastic place to chill and enjoy a few of the best drams of your life. I'm not sure it's open to the public or if it's members only, but if you can it's well worth a visit. There is no better place to sample a fine selection of the finest whiskies.

City centre location, a fantastic range of whisky and friendly, knowledgeable staff to guide you to the right spirit. What more could you want? Very much worth the membership fee even just for the access to the city locations. Also serves well-prepared staples like haggis, neeps and tatties...but you'll want to stay for the cozyness of it all and of course a top class dram.

SMWS is a great place in the city centre to go for a quiet drink or meal.
