The Crescent in Glasgow City

Terrible service. I waited at the bar for ages and the bar staff continually served other people who arrived after me, despite the bar staff acknowledging me whilst I was waiting. Ended up leaving rather than waiting any longer.

One person in our party forgot their ID and the bartender responded with “who even leaves their house without their ID” followed by a smirky laugh and pointed at the 25 challenge sign. We didn’t kick up a fuss (we knew it was on us for not having brought our ID), 4 of us left and 2 people stayed on as they already got their pints. We all met up later and the 2 people who stayed behind said the bartender kept going on and on about how someone can leave their house without their ID. Strange strange behaviour, we’re obviously not upset about not being served it’s just the way the bartender handled it!

Great service, lovely space, decor, ambience and lighting, but I implore you, please play some more fitting music for a cocktail/bourbon/wine bar. Some jazz, some Tom Waits, some blues and r 'n' b. Disco sucks! That said, I do like your pub and I will be back :)

Un buen lugar solo para tomar algo tiene una mesa afuera al sol durante unas horas. El servicio era muy bueno junto con las bebidas. Lo visitaría de nuevo.

Me and my friend walked past looking for somewhere to have a drink whilst waiting on our other friend to join us, and the place was empty. We waited outside to see if there was any signs of life or other customers and seen the bar people closing up, so we googled and seen it was open u til 12 (hours away) so we went in and ordered two drinks to much fuss. Trying to make conversation with the bar tender was difficult and we both felt she was annoyed we came in whilst they were cleaning. This was made clear when two other customers walked in, asked for drinks and were told they were closing early - the bar tender then proceeded to start breaking down the tables and perhaps “accidentally” sprayed me and my friend with the anti-bac… We finished our two passion fruit martinis - both served with flat prosecco and waited for our friend elsewhere.

lovely GM. will gladly go back 🪿

Relaxing atmosphere, decent drinks, friendly staff.

Encantador bar y un servicio amable, pero lamentablemente no hay comida, lo cual es decepcionante ya que el menú se veía increíble. Más aún cuando llamé por teléfono para reservar me dijeron que no había reserva, que había llegado, etc.

We were served by a very cute and lovely finnish girl who took the time to recommended the perfect drink for us. Would recommend for the relaxed atmosphere, good drinks, and stellar customer service. Definitely would come again to enjoy the view.

Perfect for a chilled Sunday afternoon

Super friendly bar staff, excellent selection of cocktails and beers, ample room to sit and enjoy a drink (even on a Saturday). Lovely bar.

The staff were rude and accused one of my friends of being sick in the toilet which she had not been. The manager came up to her and told her she smelt of sick and asked her to leave. She was sober and had only two drinks. He was racially profiling her It was humiliating and disgusting

Nice atmosphere & very good spicy marg

Waitress left a wet, smelly cleaning cloth on our table for the duration of our stay and then tried to overcharge us £7.50 for the drinks we had ordered. Wouldn't usually mind stuff like this, but when you're spending £8 on a 20ml pour of a fairly standard bottle of malt, I would like the service to make up for it!

Popped in here for a drink after dinner. We both loved the decor of the bar, very trendy, good selection of drinks and was relatively busy. We would return again if it was warmer, I had to keep my long puffa coat on and also the music was not to our taste. I might be 58 but I'm not ready quite yet to sit and listen to obscure boring jazz type music for a whole night. This however may suit others but get the heating on!

1st time visiting and loved it. Lovely bar and great staff. Place was just a bit on the cold side. But will definitely go back. I didnt find it any more expensive than some other bars in the area.

The Penicillin 🍸 was delicious. Cosy warm, friendly atmosphere. Stopped in for brief pre dinner drinks.

Lovely place for a drink but the loos were really poor, no locks , didn’t look clean . Such a shame

Absolutely looved my cocktails at Crescent, the place smells amazing and the staff is really cute and nice.

Drinks were nice! Great atmosphere!

If you order a shot and a drink your excessively drinking (as the staff says) all because we were at El Jeffe’s and got free hats. Doesnt mean we are drunk. Ben Nevis Loved us. So much for supporting your local business. Never again. Staff are as morbid as A cemetery .

Love the vibe in Crescent, great for a date night or just casual people watching with pals. A wee gem in the city.

Attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere and delicious drinks

Well decorated and comfortable bar. Good staff & great choice of rum.

Came from a wee drink after dinner and had some leftover pizza and we sat outside. I had two slices left and went to take a bite of one when the woman came outside and spoke to me like a peasant. I completely understand if this wasn’t okay and coming out to explain but she spoke to me so unnecessarily rude that we were so embarrassed and I almost cried. Will not return as the staff aren’t nice at all.

Beautiful decor and a nice atmosphere, cocktails are a little pricey but ok.

Superb cocktails and great service

It took twenty minutes for two drinks to be made; that is pretty poor service to have to wait for that long and it has put me off from coming back, especially where it wasn't that busy. The server didn't offer apology or reason for delay. Meh- comes to mind.

Great place for some pre dinner cocktails. Good selection to be had a the staff friendly and helpful. Went on to the Crab shack after which is just a short walk along the street.

Decent bar on the main drag in Finnieston. Slightly cheaper than the likes of say Kelvingrove Cafe. Nice crowd on a Saturday afternoon.

Each time I visit Glasgow, I stop into this place. It has a great atmosphere and excellent cocktails. Friendly service as well. I will continue to check in on my visits across Scotland.

One of a number of good pubs in Finnieston.

Bar stools all a bit un stable. Ask the price if you are buying a bottle of wine. It can be a surprise. Nice tunes and staff.

Went for a drink after being out for dinner. Staff greeted at the door managed to get us a table. Table service lovely cocktails. Very efficient.

Went in for a quick shot before going to get the train, got charged £25 for 4 shots and when we challenged the bartender he admitted to overcharging us he refunded us £3.7 he charged us over £5 per shot. Very annoyed. He charged us for 6 when we got 4. It should’ve cost less than £15 and charged us £25. Never be back.

Amazing range of drinks and very knowledgeable bar staff. Very quiet (was a Tuesday night) but very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Didn’t eat but the drinks were great! The bar itself is very clean and comfy - would recommend for a drink. Don’t expect Wetherspoons prices - or clientele! This is much better.

Rude staff no atmosphere Stinks of bleach (wonder what it’s covering up!) £15 for a pint of lager and gin and tonic Definitely won’t be back

Lovely surroundings and good service work a decent range of choices - not the cheapest but enjoyable all the same.

So, I came today to have a drink, a little after 12. I was 'greeted' by a curt woman who was putting chairs outside, who said I could have a drink. Fine, that was all I was after. I went in to the bar, where I approached a menu. I opened it to find that all there was a QR code. I asked the girl behind the bar for an actual menu. She huffed and said that all they had was the QR code. I have to confess that I don't know how those work and I have never had a menu only have one before. I struggled for a minute and then left. 'Service' was rude.

Overpriced bar. £36.50 for a bottle of wine is ridiculous.

Great cocktails. Great atmosphere. Really sharp service even when it was super busy.

Tried to order a round refreshments after patiently waiting. Only to be told by bar staff they were having a conversation. Not the best customer service to be honest. Left and went to pub across road and got served with a smile 😎

Nice place for catching the sun . If you can get a seat Ran out of coke for mixer on our visit is dearer than other pubs near by .like the Grove

We went for a couple of cocktails on a Saturday evening. The venue is stunning, however the place lacks a good atmosphere. When we walked in we were greeted by a host/ waiter who said she would find us a table. She never returned so after standing there a while, we just took a seat at the bar. We were not acknowledged for about ten minutes and as we were about to leave, someone took our order. The cocktails were very enjoyable however the flat atmosphere and poor service took away from the experience. I wouldn’t go back in a hurry..

Their Violet drink is amasing. Will be craving it for months now.

Lovely service and fantastic atmosphere, drinks were wonderful. Fully recommend.

Lovely and cosy place. Very friendly staff.

Good pub ,although several customers not wearing masks when moving around ! I appreciate some people can't wear them but wearing them on their necks lol

Amazing cocktails - the bartender was incredibly skilled! Brilliant atmosphere!

Great place with a true local feel. Very relaxing.

This Argyle Street bar is lively and fun. The window seats are a great place to enjoy a spot of people watching whilst enjoying a drink

Victorian epidural cocktail highly recommended!

Lovely atmospheric surroundings. Lovely staff too. Nice place if you want a chilled drink in the afternoon

So when you ask a member of staff if they are doing food today and they reply, "No, because if we did we would have menus on the tables wouldn't we." You may wonder why bother having a drink here? but I did. To get a drink I had to wait until the member of staff cleaned the bar down while looking at me waiting to be served: eye contact made but no service, and then watch as someone comes up the stairs from the toilets, walk to the bar and be served immediately by that same member of staff. Two weeks previously we walked into this establishment and took a seat at the window only to be told they were full and we couldn't have those seats. We went outside and watched another couple walk in and take the seats. I went to talk to them to see if they had a reservation and they said that they didn't and that a memeber of staff had directed then to these specific seats which were free. Do not waste your time going to this place. The service is so poor.

Well it's certainly a place on Argyle street, but with a cocktail in hand, you'll appreciate it.

They put much dedication into making their cocktails. Lovely flavor combinations, good cozy atmosphere

Had a fantastic time chilling on my own after a day of stressful Sunday meetings, Was welcomed with a smile and had great service while having my phone still stuck together in-between looking out the front window for reprise. The rum old fashion was fantastic. The heverlee was cold. Just what I needed. 5 star.

Pint was nice, place was nice, food was really pretty pretty bad.

Good cocktails and attentive staff

Friendly place where I chilled with a lovely aperol spritz. Lovely decor and friendly staff

We had this booked weeks ago, we were returning as we had a great meal prior to lockdown. It was so disappointing (especially after paying a £40 deposit to book). First of all we were sat at a couple of tiny bar tables you would sit at to have drinks, not enough room to put our plates of food on. Staff were unable to move us so just brought another small table to add on. The menu is reduced and is more like small plates to have with drinks. (Ordering small plates meant there was more on the table and therefore 3 of the small tables was nearly not big enough!) No individual plates were brought out so would be the norm with tapas so we had to eat off the plates the food was already on. The food was not great. The salt and chilli chips were basically chips with far too much salt on, no flavour. The beef bao bun was inedible it was so salty. Really disappointed and won’t be returning.

Nice pub ,atmosphere and service.

Great atmosphere, yummy food and excellent rosé. Would come again.

Been here before and it was a great. However on the first night after lockdown when the place was half full and they had enough staff to wait a table each, we waited over half an hour for a drink before we left. Not one person received a drink in that time. Table service at its very worst.

Booked an outside table for 4 for drinks. Our friends arrived and were greeted by a rude staff member who didn’t bother showing them to their table, or going through how to order drinks. When myself and my partner arrived 15 minutes later our friends still hadn’t been asked if they wanted a drink. After asking to be served the waitress begrudgingly took our order. When it started to rain we politely asked if there was any tables inside and we got a blunt reply. We were only asking... To top it off the toilets absolutely stunk of bins. Right beside the kitchen aswell. Will not be back.

Great drinks and the nicest two girls serving.

Wonderful meal, great waitress, in all great night, will go again

Had a last minute booking for drinks with new pals. I loved the decor, especially the booths because they are super comfortable. Wish they had a more extensive cocktail drinks selection. But I recommend this place, and plan on coming back. Oh, and i think they do have a kitchen, but it closes at 8pm.

We visited here on a Wednesday night and we were able to take advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme which was great in terms of the value for money. The food was really nice, we ordered a selection of small plates to...

The staff here were so welcoming and lovely - we could not fault them at all. The venue and decor is nice, it has a good vibe. Would definitely recommend coming here for a drink, but skip the food. Food is very average (although not...

Amazing food and lovely staff! The restaurant itself is so comfortable inside and there is a well stocked bar to sit in as well. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely staff, quiet place to eat and very nice food.

Nice atmosphere and good service. Cocktails were fun. Menu looked good with small plates and big eats being offered. Comfortable seats and nice place to watch the world go by

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening with friends at The Crescent. We had our eye on this place since seeing the menu before xmas. It did not dissapoint, staff were friendly and attentive, food was well served and finely cooked. Flavours were as described on the menu....

It's ok, nice interior and staff but food is mwah

bar service was great, fantastic cocktails and great vibe in the place. what more can you ask for.

Looking for something to eat on a visit to Glasgow and saw their menu in the window. It looked varied and different so we took a chance. Loved the variety of dishes, it was difficult to choose as everything looked so yummy. The eating area...

After a disastrous meal at Bukharah in the Lorne Hotel the night before we sauntered round the corner for Brunch at the Crescent. What a difference from the night before. Great Service Great Food and a really atmospheric restaurant . I had spicy baked eggs...

Good selection of drinks, layout of bar means you might not to work your way around to get a drink but nice setting and ambience. Good place for small groups and couples amongst others. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Ambiance and atmosphere very cool. Pity about the torn-faced bar staff.

Out for drinks last nite with the girls dearest round of drinks in the area. Two vodkas & one brandy all with draft mixer £17.25. across the road cost £11.40 !!

Great drinks and service. Average food.

Great atmosphere, fantastic drinks, beautiful space, delicious food, easy going, friendly staff, wonderful evening!

Great selection of drinks and a nice atmosphere, staff know their stuff!

Will be there anytime i visit Glasgow

The food/menu is lovely. There should be a dish on their menu to suit everyone. The service and staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is great.

Really nice place, great service and ambience.

Bad cocteils. They don't have any knowledge on how to serve it. Don't recommend it.

Really nice place cosy atmosphere good service

Fantastic atmosphere, good music, friendly informative staff and decent prices. What’s not to like? Definitely would come cack here.

We came here as a quick stop before heading out. Gorgeous place with lots of seating! Drinks were brilliant but a wee bit pricey!

Nice place but pricy compared to other bars around.

Decore, music and volume all suit..

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband. Beautiful surroundings with clever lighting. Staff seemed very pleasant. Drinks good. Only criticism is it is on the expensive side. Would return though and would recommend in this lovely area of Glasgow

Great place, cosy atmosphere and unique selection of dishes on offer. Staff very friendly and efficient.

This place is pretty nice Great decor Staff are wonderful Menu is a fusion pretty extensive Interesting fusion plus local food But the food at best is average I liked it but the food was so so I would go not go again The fresh...

Had Sunday brunch here as The Finnieston has a forty minute wait. Very comfortable and friendly staff. We had a couple of items off the small breakfast menu which were delivered in small steam buns. Couldn't fault the food but left wishing I had paid more for a larger breakfast which looked stunning.

Visited here after the Dog Lovers Show at the SECC. Look nice from the outside, wandered in and after a quick look at the menu, decided to stay. Good decision. Staff were friendly and gave advice on the menu. Sister and I had Bao buns...

Nice surprise with quality food finely prepared, nice setting and very friendly service. Well worth being recommended!

top class venue wouldn't be out of place in central London
