Stag and Thistle in Glasgow City

Lovely warm welcome on a chilly autumn afternoon. Great selection of beers. Service fantastic. Lovely clean and very well maintained establishment. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

Went for mother's day. The staff were nice when you could actually get hold of one. Although the boy who first served us was scratching his belly as he took our order. Our starter came out fast enough but was very poor quality with stale bread and tasteless sauces that I could have made at home. The main took two hours to get to us and my mum had a taxi booked to take her home so we were eating right down to the wire as her taxi arrived. They did give us free shots for our trouble but that wasn't quite appropriate for a family table with a minor and my older mother. I ended up having to have 3 of the 6 shots. The staff are nice people and I understand that mother's day is stressful but it seemed like not many people were eating yet our order was forgotten about. I also had to clear my own table twice as no one came by to get the plates or glasses. Anyways I definitely won't be back for food. I honestly don't think they should have a kitchen as their chef is pretty bad . Also the staff need to get better at working under pressure. I know it's a hard job but the standard elsewhere is way higher. Probably fine for getting a drink but bad for food.

Pretty terrible service, being in the nether outskirts of shawlands, strathbungo area, a favourite haunt of students and what i can only refer to a yuppy twats, it has failed t9 impress, took 20 minutes to get a drink, which didnt come, bar manager needs a wakeup, sort it out

We booked a table for 3 for Mother’s Day lunch. I’m sorry to say on this visit truly dissatisfied. We opted for the Mother’s Day deal, waited 45 mins for starter then not far off for main. My husband got the roast and hardly touched it as the meat was full of fat. Waiting staff were all disorganised and not friendly, not even a smile when order was took. The Girl I think her name is Anne was the only one who was so welcoming and lovely. Smiling and bubbly. My visit was definitely not worth £100. No alcohol was purchased in the bill.

Hoy me metí en el Stag & Thistle para llevar ☕️. La bienvenida que recibí de los jóvenes miembros del personal femenino y masculino en turno fue excelente. Una cálida bienvenida encantadora, sonriente y charlatán Sin duda recomendaría y volvería

Took 40+ minutes to get served our food (and we only ordered starters), which we were not pre-warned about. The food itself was just ok, expected better given the atmosphere of the place.

My four sisters and I booked for a meal, one vegetarian, vast Vegan and Vegetarian options it didn't disappoint, Aristea was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional, food served fresh and piping hot, not the cheapest but quality ingredients and delicious cocktails made our afternoon special, will definitely be back. Xxx

The portion are too big at a perfectly good value, the staff it’s too nice, the music too pleasant, the lighting too cozy. I hate how much I love it!

Went for lunch with family and friends. No booking required. My 4 year old was being demanding, the staff were brilliant.

Good Food and atmosphere, worth a visit!

Walked in soaked from the rain and needing a spot to work from for a couple hours. I was invited in to sit by the heater and I was given a cute little heart shaped hot water bottle to warm me up. 1000 stars for hospitality and kindness. Thanks guys x

Stumbled across the Stag and Thistle on an icy Tuesday evening, what a fantastic place. Had the Cheeseburger and a side of salt and chilli onion rings which were amazing. The Guinness was great too, highly recommend 👍

What a lovely find. Popped in for lunch when our intended place was too busy, I'm glad now as this was far better! Really lovely staff, delicious food and cool decor. Great place.

The best pub with the best service. Friendliest staff in the land :)

Quick service for 6 people.Good size portions.Food was Very Good. Will definitely visit again.🙂

Excellent food. Be sure to get a coffee just to taste the best tablet ever 😋

A bit of an odd place, service is slow and you can’t get a drink at the bar. “Table service only”, so no chance of nipping in for a quick one.

Really enjoyed the bottle of Malbec we shared . Burger delicious and salt& chilli fries always a winner. Service is brilliant, friendly and considerate

Very disappointing. The food was below average (poor quality eggs with cheap sriracha and swimming in hollandaise, and a ‘spicy’ falafel wrap that had no spice or taste) and the condiments and cutlery delivered to the table were filthy.

Un sábado por la noche muy ruidoso disfrutamos de un tagine marroquí y eglefino con patatas fritas (no combinado! ) Aunque el ruido dificultó la conversación, el ambiente era alegre y el servicio rápido y amable. Un lugar apto para perros donde su perro es bienvenido.

The manager in here needs to go back and learn some basics around customer service. She give us our bill before our last drinks had arrived for me and my wife. She then started shouting sarcastically in our face that " it was really fantastic that we didn't finish quicker." You didn't serve the drinks in time, not me. Clearly the staff dont care about customers. I will just go to Strathbungo or somewhere else next time.

Lovely brunch with my doggy. Warm welcome, doggy brought water and breakfast and I had a delicious beetroot hummus. Fab! 😊🐾x

Vino para el almuerzo del domingo sin reserva. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida como un montón de disponibilidad. El personal era encantador y la comida era excelente. Como familia, disfrutamos de un relajante desayuno cocinado el domingo, y este fue uno de los mejores. Sin duda volveremos!

Visitado hoy cuando llovió mientras estaba de paseo. Ambiente acogedor. Personal amable y atento (4 personas diferentes, todas encantadoras) Comí 4 entrantes y 2 bebidas, hummus, gambas tempura, sopa, papas fritas. Todo bien preparado y una parada perfecta del sábado por la tarde. Espero volver.

Food and service was excellent.

Went here for tea 2 nights on the run whilst staying in the area for the weekend. They have a great choice of food - even a separate vegan menu. The staff there are amazing. They are very friendly and extremely efficient. Orders taken promptly and food delivered just as quick. Atmosphere was super. Make sure you book. We have our Airbnb host to thank for the recommendation.

Really great atmosphere, excellent food. Service was a little slow but they were very busy.

while the meal was lovely, the service was excellent too. staff are very accommodating and patient with customers. i felt like i was considered every time i inquired about something whether it was food or hospitality.

Birthday meal with family including tween and teenager. Lively atmosphere on early Saturday night, food nice. Best thing for us was the service, as our server was just amazing. Clearly knew her stuff and wanted us to have a great evening, to the extent that a surprise birthday pudding arrived with a candle, which meant the whole place sang happy birthday to the birthday man. A lovely memory.

Nunca he sido un fanático. es el único popular por su soleada ubicación exterior. Tenía un chorro de papas en mi bolso. Y tenía un mogollón. Te dijeron que vendíamos papas fritas. Como si, pero tú vendes papas fritas. Él, está bien, punto justo, pero si no vendiéramos ron, ¿traerías el tuyo propio pasivo agresivo? No estábamos en la comida. Estábamos afuera. No aprecié el sarcasmo. Estábamos listos para más rondas a 16 libras la ronda. Fue a otro sitio. Tu boca lista. Sabes quién eres te costó 60 libras. Un paquete de patatas fritas. Vivo en el coche de las reinas. Este no será mi local. Adiós.

Great pub Scott was a star give the young man a rise.he worked like a robot all the staff in this pub are all good workers.keep hold of them you can never get good staff in pubs.but this place knocked it of.11 out of 10.thanks Franco

Great staff and non alcoholic choices. Wine good too

The staff were warm and welcoming. The décor is really nice but I was really disappointed with the Sunday roast. The meat was very tough and leathery. I could hardly cut it with the knife and I couldn’t eat it. I told the waitress and they gave me a 20% discount which meant I still paid £17.45 for a few small potatoes, a small amount of carrots, broccoli and a cup of tea. Won’t be going back!

Great for drinks. Fund and lively atmosphere. We don’t eat so can’t comment on food.

Was in here yesterday with my boyfriend, been in several times now, food always amazing and such a great choice for veggies and vegans. Food was delicious and staff so friendly!

Delicious food. A quiet night so not a lot of atmosphere.

Tuvimos que esperar 1 hora y 10 minutos para nuestra comida. Nos habían advertido que habría un retraso de 40 minutos porque estaban ocupados. Básicamente desde que el lugar ha sido reorganizado la cocina no tiene la capacidad para el tamaño del restaurante. El área del restaurante debería reducirse a la forma en que estaba anteriormente y entonces podrían hacer frente a la situación. Cuando la comida finalmente llegó estaba seca e insípida. El personal era atento y agradable, pero una experiencia muy decepcionante. No voy a volver.

Impeccable hospitality, great atmosphere lovely couple behind the bar considering it was closing time.

I was here a few weeks ago and the food, drink, service and atmosphere was great. Sadly I won't be going back as there were just too many dogs. Getting in the way on the floor, barking, whining and generally making it a less than relaxing experience. It really is not hygenic having dogs in a place where food is being served either. For all those restuarants who are making their place dog friendly, you are putting off other customers.

Visited yesterday while looking round Queens Park for a treat - Coffee and Cakes. Excellent value - excellent staff. A wide variety of seating both indoors and outdoors - so can go with whatever the weather. Looks like they are all geared up for the Euros with an outdoor screen ready to go!

I went here for a birthday lunch. It was a sunny day so sat outside, it’s a good sun-trap on a nice day. I had a salt and chilli chicken burger- it was okay. My sister had a roast - bit salty/soggy veg. Staff were more than lovely and they do a nice French martini but the food was just a bit lacklustre, felt a bit like a Wetherspoons menu. Considering the prices/aesthetic of the place, you expect a bit more.

Outside ...great until the ☀️ moved around....Bbrrrrrr

So dependant on the day. Food can be delicious or actually quite gross, if it's busy service can be really slow and mistakes made with ordering. Great outside space for drinks but unfortunately really depends on the day for the food.

We had a lovely time ,meal was excellent service from Ross and the rest of staff was excellent . We had three courses unusal for us but couldn't not have a sundae that were beautiful .thank you for good night

Not even left the establishment yet but feel the need to start my review, absolutely impeccable service from the man who served me today, I’m new to the area and just wanted to pop in for a drink to start my ventures of looking my new favourite pub in the unfamiliar environment, he made me feel so welcome after I opted to sit outside with my pint he came out and found me sitting out the front and informed me they have a tent area round the left side of the restaurant out of the rain, and also starring some heated lamps under the tables, just what I needed on a rainy day ! He brought me over to the area found me a ash tray and got me seated, as he new I was only in for a couple drinks he asked if I found like to see the food menu for future reference of course I accepted. Looking at the extensive menu filled with good bunch deals and many vegan and vegetarian options it looked wonderful prices not overwhelming either, can’t comment on the food as I didn’t try anything today but absolutely will on my return in the future ! He informed me his shift was over but he hopes to see me soon and again welcomed me to the area. Top class costumer service in this place, not to mention the beautiful interior inside, will be coming here regularly.

Love this place on the Southside at Strathbungo. Large outdoor area, great selection of drinks and friendly staff. Can't rate the food as I haven't actually eaten there! Great place for a catch up with friends while you watch the world go by!

Very nice lunch stop - great outdoor seating area with heaters which is amazing. Really nice menu with lots of options - the sandwiches were incredible had the fish finger and the buffalo chicken. Both were huge and delicious. Good choice of drinks and fairly reasonable. Staff were lovely and very helpful and will defo come back

The people who work here are all so lovely, and on it! The service is amazing, the food is so great, and the fact they have their own vegan menu is so thoughtful - and the food on it is delicious. They have a little dog water station which is super cute too. The tempura and the satay chips are my favourite. Thank you!

The food was amazing, the staff was incredibly nice. Great music selection as well! We’d recommend it to everyone.

Had a table for 4 booked booked for my 70 th birthday today and was blown away by the lovely service and food. It was really busy but the staff we're amazing. We all had something different from the menu and all enjoyed our meals. I had the fish supper and can't believe I.Had to wait untiI I was 70 until I tasted perfection 😋. Thanks to everyone, you made my day xxxxx

Great food and lovely staff. Mahou on draft 👌

The staff went that extra mile to make my mum and self very welcome on my birthday 🎊

Last minute request for the team to accommodate 4 adults, a four year old and baby on Mother’s Day. Couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant on a very busy day. Definitely recommend 😀

Nice outdoor area with heating and cool vibes inside. Good marg too, importantly

The vegan burgers with peanut butter and jam were to diiiiiie for. The availability of outdoor eating space was a big plus!

I loved this place. We called in for a beer and had such a warm welcome we had to stay. The music is really cool and the food fabulous. The fish and chips was a bit hit, great value and included a, large pickled onion which I haven't had since I was 12!

Very friendly pub/restaurant. Food was great and there was a lovely atmosphere in the bar Staff super friendly but busy so took a while to catch someone's eye when I was ready to order.

Food was amazing, great service. Highly recommend 👌

Food was great and the waiter went above and beyond, can't fault the place

Great food, quirky decor and delightful staff. Thanks for a smashing brunch

Came here on New Year’s Day and the staff were so lovely & welcoming, especially Paul who was an angel!!! 🎉

Visited this place over the years when it was called Marlbury Square . Great food and service. Outside seating .

Really busy when we arrived but managed to find a table. Food was excellent, hot and generous portions. Good selection of beers, what more do you want.

Visited today for brunch. Absolutely great waitress who was friendly, and attentive, and made stopping in as a solo customer a comfortable experience. I had the vegan breakfast which was great.

I don’t give 5* easily. This place was perfect on all accounts! Great food, large portions, great service and nice ambience! Thank you!! Will return.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere. Great for families and nights out. Staff are all lovely. The fish tacos are a must. Moreover, a genuine local that care about their community and go to great lengths to make folk feel welcome. This is truly one of the best pubs on the southside and a real asset to all. Love, love, love it.

Came by for a lunch date with my good lady and we were met with Ari, she is lovely and couldn’t She was lovely and so welcoming. Couldn’t be more helpful and made a dreary day a great one for us. Need more people like her, will definitely be back again soon! be any more pleasant than we could hope for. Keep up the great service! Will be back again, Many thanks, Jimmy & Zoe

Was in the Southside of Glasgow for a football match at Hampden, and friends were arriving later, so went for a pre-match meal, and the Stag & Thistle is somewhere I have wanted to try out for a while. Every time I pass by it always seems to be busy, and after a visit, I can see why. For a Sunday afternoon, and with Kick Off for the game still 5 hours away, it was very busy (but not mobbed) and got a table no problem. Good extensive menu and a great drinks selection. Ordered the Stag & Thistle Burger, and washed it down with a few beers. Really good food and can highly recommend. I will almost certainly be back again in future.

Lovely welcoming staff and nice pub. Didn't eat, so I can't comment on food.

Gluten free beer available! The value for money tempted us for dinner (buy one get one free on main meals on a Tuesday!!) which would describe as good pub food with an extensive vegan menu. Also 40% off some unique and tasty cocktails. The staff were really lovely, the vibe was top. A really nice evening location we stayed at much longer than the initial pint we intended!

Very friendly staff but the food is a scam. Paid 6 pounds for a tiny serving of Tesco hummus and a flatbread that in fact was a cold multipack tortilla. Eat somewhere else before going for drinks here.

A wonderful pub with really well executed food and attentive staff. They even have a whole separate vegan menu. Will be coming again.

Excellent food . Terrific service. Pleasant Atmosphere

Have now dropped in to this place a few times when visiting the area and honestly cannot recommend highly enough. Great atmosphere, great beer garden (weather permitting), very helpful and friendly staff, and the food is quality pub-grub. Also a great selection of beers on tap and in the fridge - what more do you need?

Absolute favourite in Southside!

Good value food. Attentive friendly staff

Favourite place in the Southside. All the staff are absolutely lovely and go above and beyond on every visit. Also the best Bloody Mary I have ever had!

Disappointed. The S&T is usually very good but on this occasion, service was really slow, food was just OK and it felt like we were getting the tail end of a busy week, both in terms of produce and waiting times. Servers were very friendly though.

First visit with friend for lunch. Loved comfortable rustic feel of venue. Terrific staff . Very friendly and helpful. Though not vegetarian, i had a vegetarian stack.Which consisted of a large baked slice of sourdough bread topped with mushrooms, spinach, sundried tomatoes and i added a poached egg it was delicious but only complaint, which was quickly remedied, was that it was a bit on cold side when served. Attentive waiter dealt with that swiftly. My friend had Fish Soft Tacos which he very much enjoyed. Coffees were excellent also. Whole package coming in at just over £30 inc. 3 coffees and a beer. Situated very close to Queens Park on main Pollokshaws Rd, This is a place i would love to try for evening dinner.4/8/23. Good as last time, everything perfect .

Really lovely staff. Drinks far too expensive. Realise things have gone up but still just too far for me. Mahou - £6.30 Disco Forklift (a local glasgow beer) - £6.90! Sorry but this isn't London and that's too far. Will avoid I'm afraid based on price.

In for just a drink but you couldn't take a seat. You had to be given one. Expected to give your order asap. Didn't have time to look at the beers on offer. Incredibly loud quiz then started.

Nice atmosphere and food choices are very good and a really good vegan menu. I will definitely be going back

Went to eat here before a concert. The servers were amazing and some of them were going to the concert as well. The vibe at the place was amazing. And OH MY! The food was absolutely fantastic. I had a creamy macaroni with garlic bread and i’ve been DREAMING about it every day since we went there. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

The food, vibe & team are really friendly - it's a great place with a real mix of people

Good place for a first date. Delicious selections, full vegetarian menu, fairly priced drinks and plates. Music was a bit loud for proper conversations but playlist was excellent. Service was friendly and accommodating but a bit slow on the night we were there. To be fair, it was a busy night.

how ben before for dinner, which is great, but tonight went for the quiz and some snacks. good fun and lovely service from Amy- recommending drinks and good chat with all. will be back our next free wednesday night!

Love this bar. Staff are lovely, accommodating, and seem to genuinely care if you’re having a good night.

First visit and its not often I come across somewhere as good as this bar and restaurant. Staff at a different level when serving and food excellent.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Drinks were lovely. Definitely recommended 😊

Late lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon, slow service, we were seated in restaurant for 15 mins and still no drinks order taken, had to call staff over to get drinks, then took another 15 mins before drinks came thats when they took our food order, we had the table for two and a half hours which is how long you need to get your food . Food was nice enough, staff okay but would not rush back

Me and my boyfriend came for a drink last night, service was so attentive and our servers were so lovely and friendly! Thank you :))

Despite being passed by multiple staff several times, we were waiting half an hour just to get the menu. We finaly got the menu but we now had to wait again for someone to take the order. We were ignored again, while watching other tabeles getting their second drinks. After about another 20min wait we just lost our patience and left. Shame as I was really into trying their great looking fish super.

Food was outstanding pub a bit dated but still had a great vibe

Very nice food indeed and lovely staff

Please keep the peanut fries and halloumi tempura on the menu for good👌

Great place to relax after long day.

Came here today for an early dinner, hadn’t booked but got a table inside. Friendly and helpful staff. We were a bit worried for our nut allergy child with several peanut options on menu but with being assured her meal would be prepared separately & clean boards etc we ordered. She had a kids steak pie & chips which was delicious and a good size for price. The Chicken tempura was delicious. Just the right amount of seasoning. We had to wait a little while but that was understandable when a big table had ordered just before us.

Fish tacos are a definite win for current menu.. vegan options could do with a little bit more love, underwhelming to say the least.

Excellent place in the South side, best place to sit outside when the sun is out.

Great wee place. Staff are always super friendly and attentive, food spot on, they love dogs , great selection of beers. Only suggestion is they need some better wines ☺️
