The Doublet in Glasgow City

Took friends from Berlin, Prague and Leipzig to what is probably the best remaining reasonable boozer in Woodlands. Downstairs you will likely find old skool west end types who wrote several episodes of Tenko and Z cars before you were born. Upstairs you will find live music and a much younger LGBTQ friendly crowd. Great to see things like Augustiner on sale. Friends were impressed and still mention the place!

No real ales at 2 pm on a Saturday. ALL ale lines being cleaned. Get a grip. This happens on a Monday morning, or one at a time. Gave it a chance after finding it overpriced a few years ago. Last chance, chaps. Won't be back!

It had been a few years since I had been in here, but it was evry bit as good as I remembered. Friendly lady behind the bar was very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit

I've been going here for years and my father before me. I went in at the weekend for the first time in a while and was presented with a pint that cost over £6!! My brother then bought a bottled beer that was over £5! I live and work in London and still haven't had to pay that much for a pint until now.

Have been to this pub many times over the years and for the first time found the female member of bar staff who served us 'a bit nippy' when she took our order. It seemed to be a bother to her that we couldn't all decide what we wanted immediately on entering the pub. Ok - so yes its good to see it hasn't changed much as its just like old times - but that includes the toilets which are just like old(en) times. Not pleasant. Also prices are stupidly high for this pub. So - overall - disappointed. What used to be a great wee pub- now just isn't.

Miércoles 27 de noviembre, 4. 50 pm.Servido por una persona de bar insultante de cangrejo.Pregunté de manera jocosa si una señal era correcta sobre el porcentaje de alcohol de una cerveza.Vieron lo que quise decir, y luego, de manera agresiva, alteraron el letrero.Me respondieron así "asumimos algo de inteligencia de nuestros clientes, ¡pero quizás no deberíamos!" En otras palabras, "Eres un idiota".Ese comentario se hizo desafortunadamente después de haber pagado mi bebida o habría salido de inmediato, pero esperé hasta que terminé mi bebida.Al menos ya no compraré LA pinta de sidra más querida en Glasgow.

We had soup and panini for lunch and it came with a lovely tomato salad. It was delicious! Nice coffee and lots of nice cakes. It was a sunny day so we could ait outside. It's a bit cramped on the sidewalk and the tables are leaning a little. Grading it to 3 and not 4 because you can't pay by card under 10 pounds. Friendly staff tho.

If you’re Glaswegian, and remember intelligent working men’s pubs, and don’t do fancy crap, and are not looking for the cheapest bevvy ( it’s at your supermarket), this may be your salvation. It’s as it was in the 60s ( can’t tell you about earlier, but 50s has to be safe). The beer line up is fab, as is the whisky gantry. Some snowflakes say they find the dunnies stinky: don’t know what you do in there Sunshine, but they were fine for me. And my Sheila. Who’s class. New proprietor, who is doing the sort of civic thing the berks in George Square never have, never will. If you’re up to it, join in and learn something.

Pub which has been here for decades without much change inside or out. Quite a young crowd in (mostly students you would surmise) which shows they are doing something right in attracting new customers over and over again. Although given the area it would be difficult not to. Good selection of draught beers and cider with friendly service.

35ml Jamieson plus half pint lager £6.10!! Same drink in The Dolphin, Partick, £3.70. Just sayin. Plus-nice clean toilets in The Dolphin.

Great wee bar that’s not changed since I was at uni ( many moons ago ) . A must when ever you visit Glasgow 👌

Dropped in here for a couple of beers with the wife prior to visiting the Comedy Club. This is your typical old man's pub but unfortunately the prices are a little high and we did hear a group complaining to the bar staff...The pub itself looks like it hasn't been touched by a paint brush since Adam was a boy but to be fair, this is what give this place it's character...In all, worth dropping in for a quick beer...

Reasonable value if you stick to blended whisky and The Don lager. Be very careful when ordering anything else - the prices are laughable - a malt whisky and a half pint of average lager cost me £7.10!!!

Friendly low-key bar near Kelvingrove Park. A bit of an oasis for this part of Glasgow with pleasant service and good beer. Worth a look in if you are nearby.

Small, well-stocked gantry, no food on offer, lounge bar upstairs with live music some nights. Local clientele, a group of whom dominate the main bar most evenings, but do not interact with others. Service ok, Ladies toilets very poor - dirty & smelly.

Old style Glasgow pub in the West End, bit tired decor wise but friendly enough place, service was ok and we were only here for drinks before a comedy show

Plenty of beers on offer a small dimly lit bar with its proximity to the great restaurant next door probably giving it extra business,a small snug lounge at the back off the bar

My friend and I were staying very close to this bar,and went in all 3 nights.Very friendly & knowledgeable staff,the place just had a nice atmosphere.Good choice of beers and whiskeys. Would definitely return on any future trips.

Este pub que repetirá después de más de un año desde la última revisión. 5:00 en un pub nocturno vacío viernes! Entonces me di cuenta de que nada había cambiado en ese tiempo. Si te gusta el olor de cigarrillos electrónicos y pagar más de la cuenta por una pinta de ale, entonces este es tu lugar. El personal era totalmente indiferente cuando me quejé por el vaping diciendo que era sólo vapor de agua! Que parecen desinteresados en la mayoría de los clientes y dispuestos a complacer a los pocos personas egoístas que quieren inhalar esta basura. Los precios son obviamente de la gente que aterradora Este pub es tratando de objetivo. Así que hazte un favor dar este pub a miss y encontrar el más barato no vaping real pubs ale cerca. Usted no será decepcionado.

first time in a while i have been here and was totally disappointed,it lacked atmosphere and a decent pint of lager, they sell belhaven lager instead of tennents ,the pub has a very good choice of spirits .the pub itself is very dated and could do with a clean and a lick of varnish, the staff were not very friendly and were too busy talking amongst them selfs

Its like walking into your local ...friendly and full of banter ....great drinks choice especially whisky

Primera bebimos aquí en 1968 y hemos visitado un par de veces al año desde entonces. En la última visita me decepcionó mucho - el lugar de los olores desagradables. Qué está causando esto? Se hagan algo? Los inodoros son aún una vergüenza. Necesita sacar sus calcetines. Si no sabía el pub del pasado lejano y tienen muchos recuerdos probablemente no volveremos a visitar.

Sé que este pub desde mis días de estudiante y si hace mucho tiempo que me dan la oportunidad yo siempre pop por una pinta cuando estoy de vuelta en Escocia. Si buscas un antiguo pub de moda glasgow sin campanas o pitidos es un buen comienzo. Siempre llena de personajes y con un personal agradable.

Great location. Great outdoor seating. Great owners and staff. Possibly our favorite pub in Glasgow. Will definitely return.

Gran bar de abajo arriba con el mismo, es la mejor gramola con todas el éxito. Me alegro de oír que no ha cambiado con el nuevo propietario. Además también ahora en perros douwnstairs. En general, muy amable, con un personal estupendo!

Great wee pub. Been going for a long time Staff are superb. Great choice of beers and winesGreat laugh with the usual punters too

I like this place , although not a cheap pint- it tends to veer towards the self - centred service style but just gets away with it due to enough locals supporting it! Used to do interesting nibbles but now doesn't & weirdly has a no dogs sticker ! This seems weird in west end , where there's a big dog friendly vibe going on , especially in a pub with no food ! Come on , be a cool old style Glasgow pub ( God knows they are needed & appreciated by tourists & locals alike !) and let the local pooches in !!

I've been here many times across the last decade. It's an amiable place with straight forward and friendly service. This isn't a remarkable pub. But that's what's so nice about it.

This is essentially an old man's dive. The toilets are grotty at best, the atmosphere is grim, but remarkably, the prices are obscene. I bought only two rounds in here for three folk, and ended up nearly 50 quid lighter. Avoid. An expensively priced dump.

Old fashioned bar in the nicest term of those words. Weekends sees many older couples which in my opinion encourages a good atmosphere. Good staff. Worth a visist

This place is now reminiscent of the general G1 "pretend a venue is something it's not to desperately try and please a new audience" deception that's seen at The Book Club and Flat 0/1 - the new owners clearly do not understand why people loved this pub in the first place, and think they've gained some cultural capital by landing a novel venue. Their transparent and self serving motives, to capitalise on the reputation and charm of this once legendary pub, is an agenda hardly hidden with dull lighting, passe music and staff lacking in lustre. Anyone in a search of authenticity need not look here. Don't be fooled by the exterior - there's nothing but blatant capitalist cynicism lurking inside. RIP The Doublet.

Visited recently for the first time in an unbelieveable 34 years and felt as I hadn't been away more than a month. Really friendly and welcoming and while the place has obviously been decorated over the period the place felt just the same. The staff were welcoming and efficient. We didn't eat but did enjoy a very pleasant evening chatting to some of the regulars. Think I will be back a bit more frequently in future..

I had not been in here for a few years and as I was passing paid it a visit. It has hardly changed at all although I believe that it may be changing ownership in the future. Still one of the best pubs in Glasgow

Abito in zona ed il mio amico è un Regular da anni, quindi ho iniziato ad andarci anche io molto spesso. ADORABILE. Ha cambiato gestione da poco, la birra che prendevo sempre non è più disponibile, ma ne è stata introdotta un'altra molto buona. Il pub non è cambiato molto con la nuova gestione; hanno incrementato lo staff, ma ci sono sempre le persone che ci lavoravano prima. Lo staff è molto cordiale, il servizio è ottimo e trovo che questo pub sia un ottimo posto per rilassarsi davanti ad un drink.

I visited this pub for the first time since the new owners took over at 4pm on a Friday. The first thing that I noticed was how dark the bar was. Why do pub owners think that dark lighting creates an atmosphere, the second was the introduction of music. It would appear again that pub owners think that everyone wants to listen to music. I have news for them this is not the type of bar that requires low lighting or music. Only the staff appear to have been interested in it. Also some of the memorabilia on the walls/bar has been removed again taking away some of the character. I did however notice that the high prices have remained. No wonder it is empty at 4 on a Friday, the prices have always been a problem in this pub.But there is worse, they are allowing electronic cigarettes to be smoked by selfish customers inside and despite all the no harm nonsense spouted by the staff there is a definite smell and problem. Another Glasgow pub being ruined and if it continues best avoided.

We were early meeting friends for a meal at the near bye Shish Mahal and decided to kill time in the Doublet. Great atmosphere and decidedly different beer. We will be back !

An Old Glasgow Pub which has changed hands ( New Owners) but does not have a great atmosphere though it can appear to be busier in the evenings.Still in need of redecoration and refurbishment the general ambience is a bit garish.Some of the familiar ales are to be found and some popular local brands have been removed with new ones now on offer.Bottled brands have also become a bit more varied with the more popular ones remaining for sale.The food on offer is very restricted with toasted sandwiches andpies being available. So if you only come here for a quick pint of beer call in or just pass by as the background music can be a bit naff.

Been going here since 1968. Hardly changed since then - apart from new lounge upstairs. Toilets still grotty. New front door has replaced rickety old door with latch. Still love it - I feel so relaxed here - full of nostalgia.

Great wee and cosy pub with good range of draught beers and lagers. Nachos on offer were good too - nothing fancy-schmancy but lipsmackingly salty and cheesy and excellent value at just £3.50.

Pub is inhabited by a clique of strange locals. Unfriendly looks and stares from regulars made it quite clear we weren't welcome. Not a problem really, as we will never frequent this pub ever again!

Superb drinking hole. Good pub grub. Good chance of meeting a Scottish celeb too, if you're into that kind of thing.The place is a Glasgow legend, go visit.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.Its a pub,it does beer,crisps and simple food,age group from 18-80.What more do you need from a pub :-)

After visiting sonny and Vito's for lunch I popped in to this fab little local that look like it's been here for ever . Very friendly staff and a wonderful homely feel to it full of regulars talking away to each other . I'm so glad I popped in for a pint . Hope is stays the same for ever .

Probably not changed much in 30 years which is a good thing. A bit brightly lit but loads of character! Good toasties, very reasonably priced! A Glasgow institution is you don't mind it a bit scruffy!

I have gone in a couple of times to this lovely wee pub and have had to leave sooner than I would like after going to the toilet. It's cold...colder than outside I wanted to stay longer but the thought of facing the toilet again made me leave. It's a wee shame the jukebox is fantastic the staff are great but the toilets are a nightmare, never to be faced again

We went in to get out of the cold (as there didn't seem to be anything else around) and were pleasantly surprised. It was very busy for a Saturday afternoon, with lots of people staying only for one drink and others looked to be there for the duration.We also popped back in for a drink after we left the Stand Comedy Club, as we waited for a taxi. Again it was busy late at night.

Been going to the Doublet for years, more so now it's right on my doorstep - friendly staff and best jukebox ever!

We've walked or driven past this pub on many occasions, but only ventured inside this month and we're glad we did! Great atmosphere, friendly locals and a good selection of drinks, plus hot snacks. You won't find fancy cocktails or especially-exciting cuisine, but you will find a pub that doesn't appear to have changed for decades, and is all the better for it. Excellent wee place for a relaxed drink.

We always go in there before and after we visit the 'Shish' next door. Very friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, nice lounge upstairs. It hasn't changed for years but that's what's good about it. It is a real local bar, with real locals plus some great characters dropping in for a few bevvies before going to the Comedy Club or the Shish next door. Good choice of beers and spirits. The pub grub is wholesome and honest. A great wee boozer.

I didn't recognise the (very pleasant) bar maid in The Doublet, but perhaps that was because the last time I visited this city pub was fifty years ago! My first impression, curiously, was that the place is down to earth but absolutely immaculate. It was a quiet time of the day, they had no music, no telly but I'd no complaints on either count because sometimes it's nice to enjoy a pint and read "The Herald". Very handy for Glasgow Uni, so next time I'll rake out some old friends and perhaps have more than one pint and soak up the student atmosphere in the evening!

Good atmosphere almost always a decent mixed crowd i.e. student middle aged folk, in the place on weekends.Place looks unchanged form when it opened in the 1960's and to me it gives it a lot of charm and a authentic honest unpretentious, feel to the place. Good choice of malts and other drinks.Prices are very reasonable for the area.The upstairs part of the Doublet feels like a front room of a house (This opens up on weekends ).Has a jukebox that has pretty much anything you can think of.Staff are a good lot as well.Food is good for a light or a quick munch if you are on the move, its at a decent price as wellQuiz is a good laugh.My only negative about the place is lack of a decent smoking area (to be honest it is nit picking as a lot of pubs in city's got caught out this way when the Smoking ban came in).
