We had a work Christmas Day out yesterday and had such a great time. The food was amazing, drinks were great and the staff were so lovely. 20 of us all agree we’ll definitely be back.

We arrived on a very wet and cold October afternoon - at that point we were the only people in ( live music is in the evenings) We instantly loved the look/feel of the place and decided to have a beer and a seat, After a great couple of hours, some fantastic music, several Fab-U-Lous cocktails and bowls of the best and hottest fries I've ever had, we left, a very happy pair of visitors. Do yourself a huge favour - just go here?

The noise in here was horrendous and this was before the live band started (who were great). In a group of 10, we could hardly hear each other speak and left after we ate. Otherwise it's a well laid out space, bar staff were lovely, the live band were excellent... Just beyond loud.

Went in one night and was disappointed with the food, think it might have been an off night in the kitchen. Sent and message saying I was disappointed. Promptly got a drinks and food voucher to come back. Went back and totally different food. Both times the service and atmosphere was great. So glad the food match up this time. Many thanks to our waitress and waiter who went over and beyond to ensure out next visit was fab. Thanks guys, great customer service. 👍

Great blues bar with excellent live music. The selection of beers is OK, they have a few beers from the Drygate brewery and of course from Tennent's. Food is no bad as well, good pub grub! One annoyance is tables always being reserved, I prefer the traditional approach that if you've been sitting at a table all day then it's yours.

As an American traveling through Glasgow, this place is off the chart. Service is amazing and the food is lovely. Quite different from what I'd find at home, but there's a powerful amount of soul behind it. Definitely check this place out even if it's just for a drink!

We were in Glasgow for the weekend, and Howlin' Wolf did not disappoint. We initially turned up first time for just a couple of drinks (which to be honest are on the more expensive side but you get great atmosphere with it). We later turned up to have food, the service was lovely, we asked them to keep an eye out for a free table near the front as we ended up seated at the back which they kindly obliged. The drinks options are excellent, and their cocktails are solid. We didn't get to see live music on this visit but from previous visits the music has always been phenomenal. I really do rate this place.

We did eat in the rear area of the Howlin' Wolf, our choice as it was a bit more private and we kind of had this area to ourselves in our little booth. The staff were amazing with dietary needs etc. and bent over backwards to cater for us. My Boogie Chicken burger with haggis levelled me. The Dirty South was made especially with no mayo or onions and hit the spot. The music was fantastic. So glad the Meat Bar had rude awful staff, if they didn't we would not have found the Howlin' Wolf. We are telling everyone to come here, we are definitely coming back for a live music night. Thank you to the young lady who served us, an absolute joy.

What a great find. Great atmosphere. We went on Friday night. There was a band from 7.30 until 9. Their first set was fantastic. The second was a bit bizarre. Female singer joined them for a couple of songs and then it just fell apart. She went off to get her pic taken. The band finished early. Real shame as they were really good. Spoiled the evening a wee bit. Such a shame as this is a great place. The staff were friendly. The food was great. Definitely will try again!

Visited here a number of times during a week-long stay in Glasgow. My timetable was such that I was not going to be able to get out for a beer and food until past 2230 each night so this place was suggested as ticking the boxes. So - A superb atmosphere with some excellent Live music (sometimes until 0200). Food Served until 0200 and a great selection of beers, including locally brewed. All in all a superb venue. Certainly will go back!

Shame I couldn’t give zero stars, this is the worst place I’ve ever eaten. 22 stars of us attended for our work Christmas dinner and not one of us enjoyed their food, everything was dry over cooked and tasteless, my starter that I paid £14 for was apparently given to someone else and my main course of feather bladed beef at £15 was hard, chewy, dry cheap beef on a bed of tasteless rice with a bland white a slice of white bread, I could not eat any of this, so I paid £30 for nothing. Extremely disappointing. When I mentioned to the staff clearing the plates away she said the chef was aware that he’d overcooked the beef!! Why did he send this out then? Total rip off. Unless you like dry tasteless food avoid at all costs.

Tremendous shame that the owners decided to install the speakers at the back (I think it's the dining area). A place that I once loved for that one quiet room, where you could freely talk with your friends, turned into a shouting festival. The music is so loud, it's impossible to hear what a person says sitting across of you. Before you could still hear the music playing from the gig, but now it's blasting full volume into your eardrums. I don't get it. Still, probably one of the best late night bars around Glasgow, but for the love of god: get rid of those speakers. I beg you

We had an unpleasant experience. The bartender refused to serve drinks despite everyone in our group being sober. Additionally, the bartender's behavior appeared discriminatory, as she denied us service. To make matters worse, we were eventually asked to leave, and one of the security personnel exhibited aggressive behavior without any apparent cause.

Lunch here on the last Sunday in September was the best seafood I have ever tasted, fresh and beautifully presented. We had 5 dishes between 3 of us, and the crab cakes were my favourite, packed full with crab, delicious! We were warmly welcomed and the waiting staff were superb, patiently explaining the dishes to us. the fruit tart pudding looked almost too stunning to eat and was also delicious with melt in your mouth pasty. Lovely atmosphere too with mostly extended family groups, will definitely return if I am ever in Glasgow again.

Cute hotel located in a historic castle. It’s a bit outside of the city center in a quiet neighborhood but makes for a peaceful stay. My friend and I shared a suite and it was quite large. The bathrooms were also quite luxurious and there’s a tub as well as shower. They have free breakfast if you book directly with them, but since we booked it through the Capital One portal, we didn’t have that. The keys themselves are physical keys (not keycards). The front desk is nice and even though there wasn’t a water bottle filling station, they filled them up for us. They were able to hold onto our baggage after we checked out while we explored the area.
