The Curlers Rest in Glasgow City

Great dog friendly pub with a great atmosphere

Happen to stumble in on trivia night. Great food and wine selection. Service was good and friendly.

Nice pub, but menu clarity could be strongly improved - especially for veggie as it is very ambiguous which of the meals comes with a carb - (e.g. veggie pie apparently does not - despite costing £16). Strong complements to the staff -- they were great at sorting this all out - highly recommend! Just please sort out the very confusingly written menu, and state what is with each dish explicitly (can see at least one other review on a similar topic).

We love the decor and vibes in the pub. Staff were friendly. Food was tasty and filling, however the mash and veg on the side were barely warm.

A bit pricey but a very nice place still.

We were in a tiny booth near one of the front entrances which was uncomfortable. We were unable to adequately modify our online food order so had to order from the bar (which was fine but everything is geared towards online ordering - your app, the QR code). The food itself was dissatisfying - the meat pie pastry was too hard, the burgers were messy and not as tasty as advertised

No atmosphere at all. No music and so few people that it was like a ghost town.

Excellent in all respects - price, value, menu choices, staff, food & drink quality.

Stopped by Curlers Rest when going to see a concert. Everywhere else seemed abit pretentious, where this place seemed simpler pub grub. Abit expensive but the fish was amazing, soft and perfectly battered, chips perfect but cold mushy peas. The side of fries on the other hand were over cooked for the price. I could have done that at home without forking out a bunch. Anyway, would attend again! Cooked brilliantly.

Always a great spot. Excellent beers on tap, with Cameron and Luisa doing great draughts. Food is good. And do check out Ross Wilcock's open mic events for some of the best poetry and music in Glasgow. Super fun stuff. Still great!

The pub is nice, the atmosphere is good, the quiz was fun. The only reason for the lower score is because the prices are ludicrously high for food and drink, seems they keep going up.

Ordered chips here twice both times, hard and horrible, £5 for chips like that isn't worth it

Very disappointed in my meal. Not only was my meal so late, my 4 friends had finished by the time I had mine(which I had to go to the bar to chase). I got the smallest amount of mash and 1 carrot, no other veg as I has seen in pictures and watery gravy. The pie was so over cooked I struggled to cut the pastry and had about 3 pieces of beef. I had been looking forward to this meal as I love a proper pie, was very disappointed and not worth the £17.50 paid!!!!

Very good atmosphere and great location, had the pleasure of chatting to Laura and she was a great server for our table

A good West End pick if you're looking for a spacious, warm, welcoming, but traditional style of pub. Good selection of beer. Staff are always of a friendly disposition.

Great place forgot how good it was it's been a while but me and my husband had a lovely chilled out drinks.

£17 for a fake meat burger?? No chips included, those are £5 extra for a sad little bowl. Drinks aren’t cheap either. Surprised the place is still going at this rate. Top bar closed even when it’s busy on both floors so you have to go downstairs to order, get back upstairs, and wait for one of the staff to come up the stairs just to bring you the food, or go get it yourself.

Absolutely appalling. I've been waiting over an hour for my food. Understaffed, rude, they have no idea what they're doing. Our party booking was made months ago, and most of the menu is unavailable. Never coming here again. Avoid avoid avoid.

First visit for a drink. Nice place, and the food looked good, too. Will definitely go back

Very pleasantly surprised by our meal. Going by the prices, we were expecting plain pub grub but our meal was very tasty and more in line with a highly rated restaurant. The quality of our food was great value and we would have no hesitation in going back. I had Balmoral chicken & hubby had fish & chips. Good sized portions, cooked to perfection.

Great family gathering last weekend, very friendly staff and a great atmosphere, will hopefully be back soon

Bit too noisy inside, could use some softer furnishings. Beer and service excellent.

Good pub grub with excellent service

Great range of beers plus friendly welcoming staff. Well worth visiting! Still the best!

I recently put on two events at Curlers and I had such an amazing experience. The team where always on hand to answer any silly questions I had. All of the team couldn’t have been more helpful and on both nights, went above and beyond to make sure our group were well looked after. Would highly recommend! Big thanks to everyone at Curlers, we will definitely be back!

Me and my husband (not white) were at the bar for ages. Waiting to be served. Our two white friends were with us. Made a lot of eye contact with the bar tender (tall woman) but that futile. Our friends stepped up (conventionally attractive couple) served almost straight away. You’d think in this day and age, muppets would matter. But no. Me and Kermie still suffer. Will not be coming back. Pic to follow.

My favorite pub in Glasgow. Beautiful bar with super friendly staff and good food. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area

Lovely pub and restaurant in the westend. Food was lovely, great portions sizes, extensive menu, lovely and cosy inside and great place to watch the football tonight 🇪🇸 😀staff where lovely, decent prices too, great selection of different drinks and beers from around the world.

Great for a wee beer off train always lots of different walks of life and characters in the bar. Food is nice plenty options

A fabulous pub with great service and atmosphere...not had any food here

Caught up with a close friend and was thoroughly impressed with the curlers rest! Rosalind was a great server 🤙🙏

Went the other week for some drinks with friends, lovely wee pub with great vibes and great drinks, and the server Rosalind was nothing but helpful and a true delight to be around😊

Always a good night in Curler's. Love the quiz nights. Right next to Hillhead subby to stumble home after a session on the craft beers

We did not like having to order and pay before receiving the food but it was far worse also asking if we wanted to tip!? After we have seen what the quantity of the food is like or if there was any service, there was non, would have been more appropriate for payment and possible tip. We too 3 steak pies with fries, they were all over cooked 1 was burnt and there was no meat in my pie. It was very disappointing to say the least!

Great place. Great food. The app makes it so easy

Great place, Luke on the bar pours a mean Guinness.

Came here for football with some pals. Drinks were class and our server Rosalind was so sound!! Will come back

Fantastic pub located right next to the subway on Byres road. Went for birthday drinks with a large group and got great quick service from Rosalind at the bar. Cheers curlers 🙏

Great pub in Glasgow. Loved being here with friends, found all the staff very friendly. Rosalind served me and friends, she was so helpful and kind which made our whole experience even better! Thank you, we will definitely be returning soon :)

Love Curlers rest! And love the staff. Lovely staff member, Rosalind served me, and she was great- so kind & so helpful. Will 100% be back to this cosy pub x

nice cosy atmosphere! Good selection of beef and friendly staff. Shout out to Rosalind

Good pub Drop in before subway home

Great little traditional pub with a welcoming feel. A lovely wee fella called Luke served us on our visit here last week, was very attentive and knowledgable of the food and drink options they had to offer!

Had a few drinks here. The wine was lovely

£16.50 for 2 half pints of lager and 2 malt of the months. Bit of a rip off.

Busy and loud. Chips portions tinier than tiny

The food just wasn't very good and over priced. The pub is more expensive than many other bars, but not much better. In fact worse.

Curlers Rest is located on a busy street but is perfect for a tasty snack

In for a few drinks, no food this time. Fab bar with lovely staff....I like it.

Got chicken bites, chips and garlic bread. The garlic bread was REALLY soggy but the chicken was alright and chips seasoned well for a pub side As usual I have literally no idea about the drinks

Amazing food!!! We all loved it. Perfect end to the trip.

Always considered this 5 stars but tonight the staff went out of their way to help me out and it’s solidified it for me

Party of 14 arrived on time, found own table eventually asked for name of party. Sat for 40 minutes no one came to table to ask about food order as this was why table was booked..we eventually downloaded app and ordered food this was when everything when from bad to worse..Put order through £145 , then app stated an item wasn’t available so changed item and app then took payment twice. Resulting in staff coming back and forward with food we had already had,at this point we still had no cutlery I had to go find it myself.some food brought to table then told the rest would need to wait as there was a 45 minutes delay. I will now have to spend my time trying to get this overpayment back from bank.incidentally the item that wasn’t available resulting in double payment did arrive. Did speak with manager who apologised , at that point however we didn’t know payment had been taken twice.we spent a total of £420 on drinks and food for this awful experience and that doesn’t included the £145 overpayment.

Had our baby shower here recently and they were very accommodating to our needs. The venue hire was free and we bought a buffet option to feed our guests.

Out out all day Saturday n went into the Curlers late on for a last wee beverage before heading home... Tennants.... Best pint of the day..

A lovely pub - bit pricey 2 pints and a rose came in at £20 other places nearby cheaper - nice staff - handy by the tube - Try Ginty McGintys as an alternative

One of the male staff members was exceptionally rude and lacked decorum in talking to customers. He literally misbehaved with us and was absolutely rude in the way he spoke to us for no apparent reason. We were waiting for the Uber to leave and he came told us that we want you guys to leave even though I told him we were waiting for the Uber which was few minutes away. Please note the bar was still full with people sitting and drinking yet he misbehaved with us and told us to wait outside. This pub requires staff members who are trained to behave properly with customers instead of acting brash. Extremely cheap behaviour.

Rosalind was brilliant. She made me and my friends feel so welcome. The best bar in Glasgow with the best staff.

First time in Curlers for 35 years, Definite change for the better, won't leave it as long the next time. Good atmosphere, good prices and staff.

Lively pub with good atmosphere and welcoming staff, found out I had just missed the pub quiz but I have heard great things about it. Will try coming back to take part next time!

Went in for some food and had an unbelievable experience! The food was amazing, the customer service was fantastic. Big shout out to Brad for the service he gave us today! He was nothing short of amazing with us and answered all of our questions! It’s hard to find service of this level but Brad and his team went above and beyond. Will definitely be back

Brad was great and a real super guy

Absolutely fabulous place. I booked the upstairs function room for my 30th and it was perfect. The staff were great and allowed us to put up decorations. The preordered food was delicious and came out on time. We had a great time! Thanks so much!

Cosy pub with tasty food and a good selection of drinks for all. Its busyness is reflective of its quality, if not slightly noisy as a result.

Big fan of the boardgames they keep in the pub, great for some casual pints with friends!

Always a great call near campus, good selection of pints, and the staff are always lovely!

Great service, staff are are friendly and helpful.

Brad is the best team is the best we love this place the best neighbors in the block great place to get drunk xxxx

Really enjoyed their poetry night, Cara was great behind the bar.

Large than I expected, friendly staff. Good choice of drinks, could have been warmer on a chilly night.

I had a wonderful time with friends there, lovely atmosphere, amd our bartender Laura was extremely welcoming amd patient!

Saw ur on girl drinks guinness and it was a Great pint of guinness

Always enjoy my time at Curlers and a special thanks to Jake who was really helpful with my questions about the food and made my experience even better.

I like this place so much, the atmosphere is wonderful as well as staff team. Especially, I liked the bartender Steven, who was really friendly and nice🙃

Excellent pint in relaxed atmosphere served by Euan who appeared to be auditioning for the remake of Cocktail. 😀

Great food, great atmosphere, great drinks. A special shout out to Euan who went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.

Excellent pub Not been in it since I was a student in the 1970s, and still got a great atmosphere and great staff.

Nice relaxed feel and friendly staff. Shame they don't stock wkd

Brilliant pub! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. A particular shout out to Euan who looks after us so well every time we come in. Thanks so much!

What a lovely boozer. Had a good few pints and some bar snacks, the mini chorizo sausages were great! Service was dead on.

Great pub to go to on a night out

Cara was a wee star, food was excellent

I was recently lucky enough to visit here on a family trip to Scotland. As a real ale fan, I was really pleased with the range of beers on offer. As an upshot, my partner and I were also famished following a busy day. Nothing was too much for the team as they found us a table (despite it being busy). We wolfed down our food and even had a 2nd pint! Thanks to everyone at this gem of a pub.

Amazing nicholsons pub! A big thank you to Cara for her brilliant service :)

Gabe was so lovely his service was great!

I love it here for drinks, but we got food today and what a rip off! £13 for a pitiful mac & cheese and stale garlic bread, said to the staff they’re like yeah that’s how it is. Oran Mor up the street charging less for mac & cheese, least you get an adult sized portion that fills you up. Won’t be eating here again.

Not a great visit this time. Beer is not great. Unusual but will be heading elswhere when in the area 😕

Bar staff clocked off and “reserved” two tables and didn’t let us sit there, one of which was empty for half an hour after the alleged reserved time.

Can get four deep at the bar at times.

Excellent place to eat. Staff friendly, relaxing atmosphere and menu to suit all. Will definitely be eating here regularly.

Only 2nd time in. Good atmosphere. Mix of ages only had drinks but would go back

Hasn't changed much over the years - still a great pub!!

The burgers were good. The chicken roast was very poor, I could not cut the stuffing it was so hard, there were no roast potatoes and the veg were cold and hard. The pastry on the pie was burnt and the filling dry and minimal. Nobody came to check on us at all and no plates or glasses were cleared in the 90 minutes we were there. The table had not been cleaned when we were shown to it.

Awesome food coupled with awesome bar staff from awesome servers! Will absolutely be back! Lovely atmosphere and the trad band are fantastic on a Thursday. Definitely recommend!

Best place I've had the authentic Scottish pub experience

Brilliant pub! Such a lovely place to visit. We spend the afternoon having lunch and loved every minute, it was a pleasure!

We were out with friends for dinner last night at the buzzing Curlers Rest on Byres Road. Although the food wasn’t 5 stars the way Brad the manager handled our concerns was text book customer service. He couldn’t have been more helpful and for that reason I would certainly visit again. It’s unrealistic to think that things never go wrong or mistakes don’t get made (who amongst us can say we’ve never slipped up?) - what matters is how the service provider deals with it that sorts out the wheat from the chaff.

Nice pub with good alcohol free options but fiver for a portion of chips that was literally like a tiny tapas dish! OK for drinks but bad value for food

Cheap frozen food of wetherspoons standard. Portions ridiculously small. Avoid

Absolutely brilliant as usual. It had a great choice of beer clean and friendly atmosphere
