The Old Schoolhouse in Glasgow City

A very spacious pub with several screens, a good atmosphere and a menu to accompany the pints.

Nothing says “welcome back” like passive-aggressively turning off the TV mid-game because we hadn’t yet bought a drink. We were literally waiting until half-time — minutes away — to head to the bar, as we’ve done countless times before. What we assume was the manager (a thoroughly miserable man) decided to come over and lecture us on “pub etiquette” and how we were just taking up space… despite the place being practically empty. He then shut the TV off like we were misbehaving children and told us it’s staying off until we buy something. To be fair, one of the staff members we spoke to earlier was polite — it’s just a shame the “manager” was so childish and seemed more interested in flexing his authority than offering any basic hospitality. Nice customer service, mate. Hope the power trip was worth it — we won’t be back anytime soon.

Nice simple menu for lunch. Lovely friendly service from Natalie.

Good value drinks in a great setting

We were visiting the West end of Glasgow and were told this is one of the oldest pubs in Glasgow, so we had to try it. We did not realize there was a derby match happening at the time, but people were very well behaved. The atmosphere was great and the service provided by Aoife and Charlie was grand! They did everything to accommodate us. Massive thanks to you, ladies! Must say the food, in my opinion was not great (3/5) but we did have a nice time there. Definitely recommended for the atmosphere and service!

Hostile staff - aggressive interaction with a member of management. Will not be coming back. Do better.

I recently visited the Old School House and had a great time. The atmosphere is really relaxed and comfortable, and the staff are all nice, friendly, and attentive. The food is also fantastic, although I did notice that the menu has been reduced recently, probably due to supply issues that a lot of businesses are facing. Despite this, the food is still reasonably priced and delicious. It's a good spot for a night out, but I will say that the drinks are a bit on the expensive side. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend the Old School House for a nice meal or a relaxing evening out.

great day watching rugby. brilliant atmosphere and great results

Great place to watch the six nations. Pub grub also very good Ordering food and drink on the app is great if the bar is 6 deep. Only small complaint is I cannot order Heidi Wiess on the app as its a local beer, but you can order West larger.

great food and great atmosphere - service is amazing and aoife was a great server

Great food and had a lovely server called Aoife. Our go to pub!

Quiz nights on Mondays. No longer does real ale

To be honest, I stopped in to kill time before my hotel checkin, but the drinks are cheap (happy hour) and Lord, they have a good playlist running! And thanks for the wifi for an international visitor. 😁

Great food, great portions served quick. There's quite a young crowd. We just find a booth or quite spot.

Great staff. Great selection of beers and spirits all at reasonable prices.

Smashing place to go for drinks, watch your favourite football or tennis .

The bar staff are very judgmental, and stop servicing as any level of excitement. This me as that all people drinking in the bar are on edge. This seems to be under the guidance of the bar manager. (08/02/2024)

Good food and great service from Aoife

Refused to serve us coffee which we ordered and payed for

Food is great, they have gluten free options available once you check out the GF menu on the website. Always a busy pub, nice atmosphere and lots of TV showing sport

Fantastically run pub with very friendly staff. Great varied selection of drinks and food. Brilliant for showing all live sports and catering to all.

Siamo stati qui a gennaio per pranzo. Il locale è carino e il cibo è molto buono, con tante opzioni tra cui scegliere. Prezzi ottimi.

It’s a nice atmosphere with tasty food

We have just come home from having Christmas lunch at the Old Schoolhouse, and wanted to get this review in. I visit the place regularly and love the food, the atmosphere and, most importantly, the staff. Today they put on a gorgeous Christmas lunch. Everything about it was excellent. The food was really tasty, imaginative and plentiful. We all loved it. Not a single negative about today. Thanks again for a great experience. Highly recommend xXx

Manager has an attitude problem! We stopped in here after some pastries from a coffee shop and were finishing eating them at the table with a round of drinks. Manager comes over and rudely announces that “this is not acceptable”. The place was absolutely deserted and the reaction was completely out of proportion for a couple of pastries. Needless to say we left immediately and will not be back. AVOID EDIT: The response about this policy being due to allergens concerns is obvious nonsense. I’m sure there is ABSOLUTELY NO financial incentive in a venue enforcing a no outside food policy 😉. If this presents such severe allergen risk then why was it not mentioned by you at the time? Also, we were outside so any risk of cross contamination is null anyway. As above, I would continue to avoid this place as the manager will trot out any old nonsense to justify the pub owner’s greed.

Good place to spend a good time with friends o whoever. Options gluten free for drinks and meal. Nacional and international sports Broadcast, we can watch the game FC Barcelona - Atlético de Madrid. I reccomend it 100 %

Good pub food and brilliant place to watch sports esp football ⚽ & rugby🏉

Great food, great service, thanks to Clare 🤩

Wee redhead girl was fantastic today, lovely service and food was grand, burgers of the month always a favourite, will be back !

A good place to meet friends and have a few beers

Food is delish great pub with outside dining/beer garden

Nice looking pub with a groovy atmosphere! The food was decent quality and quite fast too. Good selection on the drafts too!

El mejor pub del West End y posiblemente de todo Glasgow. Pasé a comer con amigos y a ver rugby. Qué ambiente y servicio fantástico. Las hamburguesas eran geniales y a un precio razonable. Fácilmente el mejor pub en el que he visto un partido de rugby también. Sin duda volveré!

Heard about this place on the hop on hop off bus tour. It sounded really cool that it was a converted old school house. Was a bit disappointed when there as just was like most other bars.

Nice pint great to watch football Toilets are stinking floor was swimming too

Place is always really great and the food is fab. Lady claiming to be in charge had the most appalling customer skills I have ever encountered. I would say she is rude but that takes some thought and I doubt she has that in her. I had words with her and the way she spoke to a couple who made the mistake of blocking her path to and from the bar was disgusting. It's a shame that a really good place can be so badly let down by someone that poor at their job.

Had to return the tomato soup, wasn’t good. Server replaced it with chips which was ok.

Food and service were disappointing on so many levels. Came as a family with dog and you can only sit outside with a dog. We ordered food for 4 of us and it took over 30 minutes (I would say 40 mins). The place was quite and not many eating so no reason for the delay. It was so quiet I could get a drink and was the only person waiting. We had a sharing platter for £14 that is not worth that for what you get. I would avoid this again. The kids had kids meals and the corn on the cob that was still frozen and no attempt to heat it. The pizza was okay and the chips were cold. The burger was a double cheeseburger with bacon, I don't remember the bacon and it was tiny and poor quality. Everything was cold. This food must have sat waiting to be served to us for at least 15 minutes before it came as it's impossible to be that cold when cooked. The chicken wing were rubbery and the chicken strips were very small. To add the outdoor heater only worked on the tablets that we were occupied. While I normally accept this as first come etc they were occupied with a person on a laptop who was using the WiFi and not buying anything, they sat for the whole 90 mins a d bought nothing. 2 guys who came with their own food and drink in a bag and sat watching the football. Staff just left them to it even after I asked for help with the outdoor heaters and was told only the other tables were working. Overall this was incredibly poor and I had to complain to get some of the cost back.. Definitely somewhere to avoid. If you want food it seems the only option is to bring your own.. The only plus was the very nice female bar tender when I was getting drinks. Made sure I got what I asked for at the best price as it's cheaper to add a dash of coke to a spirit when taking a can as a mixer.

Enjoyed the pub quiz this week as hosted by Tasha who is very funny and easy on the eyes. Will come back if she hosts again.

Great pub, and good food. Worth a visit

Wow what can I say but absolutely SMASHING!!! First of all the service and atmosphere was great here, bar staff were really friendly and poured a cracking pint. I went for the £10 burger and pint, I absolutely scranned the bacon and blue it was devilishly morish, the burgers here are delicious and so so yummy! My friend got the steak and she was also mouthwatering over it. We were so surprised that the food was such high quality considering this is a pub chain but my GOSH! Hats off to the chef or as the kids say *mwah* chefs kiss!!!!!! I will definitely be going back

Terminé viniendo aquí con mis amigos el lunes pasado porque tenía bastante hambre y estaba cerca y tenía estas papas fritas cargadas que eran absolutamente increíbles se sorprendió increíblemente con ella y probablemente algunos de los mejores alimentos que he tenido en un pub también había un concurso de pub que estaba genial y estaban entregando grandes premios para aquellos que obtuvieron la respuesta correcta más rápida, así que incluso si no eres bueno en cuestionarios tienes la oportunidad de sentirte bien contigo mismo mis amigos y yo terminamos quedándonos toda la noche y nos lo pasamos muy bien caminamos por el lugar antes, pero nunca le di la oportunidad, pero puedo decir con seguridad ahora que definitivamente volveré especialmente para esas papas fritas cargadas

went for lunch with family lovely atmosphere and good food staff excelllent will definately be back for more.

Cheap for that bit of the city and good staff.

I queued for 5-10 minutes in a busy bar for food. While waiting, a group of guys queued behind my friend and me and seemed to know this particular member of staff who then ignored us and served them first. Although annoyed, we ignored it. When I eventually ordered after my friend with the same staff member, he asked for the table number. I wasn’t sure, so I pointed to our table just in front of the bar. He shook his head and said he needed the table number, then walked off. I went back to check the table number, queued another 7 minutes, and when I returned to the bar, the same staff member greeted me with, “Well… what do you want then?” His attitude was very rude, as if he had some problem with me, it was so strange. I took a moment to respond with my order as I was a bit shocked. I gave him my order and calmly asked why he couldn’t have waited a few seconds while I checked the table number earlier. He shook his head and laughed, telling me to look at the bar. After this, he went over to his colleague, and they both glanced at me, shaking their heads and smirking. To be treated like that as a paying customer was uncalled for. Despite the food being decent and the atmosphere and building being nice, the bizarre and standoffish behaviour from the staff has put me off here and I cannot recommend this place to others. Why would anyone want to pay money to be treated like that? I’ve never encountered this from a member of hospitality staff anywhere, absolutely bizarre…it was like a visit to Karen’s Diner.

Primera visita y para ser honesto bastante decepcionado. £ 17 para una hamburguesa extremadamente delgada y una coca-cola. La hamburguesa tenía haggis en ella la hamburguesa sabía bien, pero por el dinero la hamburguesa debe ser fácilmente el doble de gruesa. Probablemente no regrese. Hamburguesas mucho mejores en el Westend y mejor relación calidad-precio. Muy decepcionante.

Great atmosphere for the pub quiz, great service, staff so friendly, Alex served me a great pint!

Cool venue, friendly staff but the food was so-so (burger bun was rock hard and burger was dry).

Era parte de una fiesta de 20 así que para ser honesto no esperaba mucho oh lo mal que estaba me sirvieron la comida rápidamente y era muy sabroso el asado del domingo se cocinó a la perfección y el personal era tan amable y servicial y kudos a la chica que sirve que sin duda consiguió sus pasos en ayer. 1 experiencia de clase de calle bien hecho el equipo de Old School House.

The Katsu Fries are delicious! Drinks are well priced. Outside seating area is great!

Jess Xo was great, amazing cocktail recommendations.

What a smashing spot on a sunny day to grab a pint of beer.

Lovely location pity the weather was not a bit warmer as it would have been nice to sit outside. Kyle and Natalie behind the bar were very pleasant when ordering from the menu and also when they delivered the meals to the table. Prices very good for food and drink. Will definitely be dropping in again.

Not clear at enterence that you have to use an app to order anything. App want birthday... menu on app did not work. No service person asked if I needed help after 20 min despite few customers. I eventually went elsewhere. (nice building)

Great service and lovely cocktails. Very reasonable prices too. Great location and the beer garden has lots of shelter so even when it’s raining you can enjoy sitting outside.

Very friendly service, good food and Claire was so nice and went over the top making sure everything was good. We

Natalie was great! She recommended great items off menu for food AND drink! Personality was fantastic and the food was very tasty at this place! Must go and great atmosphere at this pub with outside seating with tvs to watch golf!

Great, varied menu with lots of deals! Came here with the kids for lunch and had excellent service from Clare. Freshly made, tasty food. Will definitely be back

cracking place to watch the rugby.

I'm a rugby fan and this Big bar is affiliated with the Glasgow Warriors; so guaranteed to see major rugby events over football here which is frustratingly rare in Glasgow and Scotland 🤔🤭. Table reservations are highly advised for Warriors away games and 6 Nations. Food selection is good and fairly priced with a large selection of draft drinks for every pallet.

Great pub fantastic staff and excellent service even on a busy day of the semi-final for the urc.

Lively bar with perfect arrangements to watch sports. Not too expensive either

Big open and spacious bar with plenty tvs especially when there's football on Fast friendly service from the staff Food delicious and good choice on the menu of pub favourites Ideally situated next to the comedy club

Great pub. Very friendly staff and speedy service. Food is lovely and the place is very clean

Bar staff were lovely and drinks were good, had fish and chips it was delicious 😋

A really great pub, one of the best in Glasgow!

Staff were poor and service not much better

Always such a great night in OSH, it does get busy at the weekends but what else do you expect from a pub at the weekend. The staff always handle the rush amazingly

just a great pub all round. really well laid out to have a lively atmosphere but wee booths that feel dead private. staff were fantastic - really went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and looked after, and super understanding and proactive when dealing with dietary requirements. we will definitely be coming back!

love this pub! quick & friendly service, great variety of food and drink - never disappoints

Came along with a group of friends on a busy day and was very impressed with the staff service - especially Alex who went above and beyond to make our evening more enjoyable. Overall very good experience, well done guys👍🏽

Great pub, great atmosphere. Was really busy however I still got great service ! I was served by a girl called Alex who made me a very nice cocktail. Will be back.

Bad service and staff attitude. Very dissappointed and will never return there again. My friend visiting scotland, went out of the property for ten minutes during the champion's league game and was never asked if she would return nor told that she might be refused re-entry. The person at the gate told her that she was not ecen allowed to pick up her stuff. I understand safety regulation, but you still need to polite to your clients who might not be familiar with these systems, especially as they can vary from coubtry to country. I also did not shout to anyone. I was merely stressing that the attitude of not allowing someobe back in the shop without any prior warning was unprofessional in by book.

Always good vibes in OSH. Bar staff are friendly and welcoming and the kitchen staff are always willing to amend to dietary preferences

amazing pub, great food and drink! We had a great time and staff were very lovely and accommodating! Would come again

It's a great location and a lovely venue. Only issue is that it gets MOBBED at weekends, especially if the weather is good and the outdoor and indoor seating is not efficiently laid out so it can barely cater to the amount of people that SHOULD be able to be there. Probably for the best though as they hire minimal front of house staff and they're always massively overworked.

The food is spoons quality and they have very misleading promotion in terms of student discounts which if I understood I wouldn’t have come

I stopped here for dinner after a very cold day of playing tourist. It was a nice place to warm up and grab a bite. There were open tables, so I didn’t have to wait to be seated. You can order right from your table, but unfortunately the Sunday specials weren’t on the app so I had to order at the bar. Food took quite a while to come out, and it was good but not the best. Just standard pub food. A soccer game was on, and playing very loudly. Aside from the insane volume of the game, the place had a very fun atmosphere.

Very disappointed after all the write ups from fellow Warriors supporters. Bar service was terrible

Great pub with a great atmosphere. Ive got a few dietary restrictions so I’m always a bit nervous about eating in new places but the staff were lovely and went out of their way to help me, I couldn’t fault them. Great selection of pints as well so I’ll definitely be going back.

Food was not as tasty as described and promised and arrived incomplete... 'is it meant to have broccoli with it's Bar service was friendly, waiting staff less so

Poor choice of beers and very slow service.

Didn't have food. Atmosphere was top notch though. Very friendly staff and welcoming. I will be back for sure.

Close the kitchen 30 minutes before time . Servers half of the guests, at a table of 6. Because they had a long day...

Absolutely horrible rude staff! Went in for a few drinks with my friend group last night, after being there for 5 minutes I was barged out the way by a woman member of staff who later told me she was the manager. My friend later asked for a glass of water and was refused by this same woman, after asking “why?” the woman proceeded to tell her to “F off” or she would kick us all out. The woman then proceeded to stick her middle finger up at my friends and I from behind the bar and kept shouting “F off”. Another member of my group was having a conversation and laughing while he unfortunately caught eye contact with this woman manager, she walked over to him and said “what was that?” and he said “what?” she proceeded to stick her hand in a jug of water she was holding and flicked water in my friends face. I was absolutely horrified by this behaviour from a manager. I fully understand people have bad days and other things going on however, swearing, shoving people, and flicking water in peoples faces is absolutely disgusting from someone who is meant to be a manager.

Ok good atmosphere for the game but food and service needs some work, particular front of house. One of the bar backs, an older gentleman who seems to be carrying all the happiness of a defeated army is extremely ignorant. He was picking up our drinks before they were finished and then seemed to take umbridge that we said it wasn't finished. If you don't want to work there, don't work there, mate. One of the staff then threatened to eject some people behind me because they were not standing far enough away from the bar while watching the game. They were there for like 2 mins. It's a sports bar! My mate also got about 12 chips with his fish. Terrible shame really because some of the staff are really good. Shame the more experienced staff are children.

Had lunch here today.Always walked by and thought I would try it.Had chicken lime tacos.They were dry with miniscule squares of chicken.My friend had a sweet chilli ciabatta.Food is below average at best

They stopped our pool game. They were not three brothers. They were also not old enough. But I'm in a good mood. So 5 stars

Rude staff behind the bar. One member got our order wrong and tried to blame us for the waste....another barked at us rudely whilst we were sitting at a table. Bad experience.

Went in during a scotland rugby match so was very busy but staff were on the ball and didn't wait long at all to be served. Customers were brilliant and provided an amazing atmosphere.

Great spot a drink with friends or to catch a sporting event.

Went here during rush hour with a group of friends for an early dinner. A couple of dishes we wanted to try were already unavailable. Had the lasagna and beef burger along with a couple of cocktails. The lasagna was cooked well but a little too sweet for my liking. The burger was decent and the drinks were great.

Un lugar de temática deportiva muy bien ambientado. Comida muy buena a precio económico, hemos podido probar el típico haggys. Como defecto, que no sirven en la mesa y hay que pedir en la barra. Repetiría sin dudarlo.

Was served something resembling playdough that they considered mash potatoes, ludicrously small portion of chips also cold Could understand if was busy but it certainly wasn’t chef must be lazy or clueless probably both

Very nice place, you've to order through an app. They got delayed with our food but other than that everyone was great.

I visited Old Schoolhouse on Friday the 12th of January. I ordered the fish and chips with the fried Squid for Starters, I also enjoyed 2 pints with this meal… The service was fast and the staff where kind, the pints where good… when it comes to the fish and chips I’d say the fish was nice but the chips where pretty rubbish and the mushy peas where bitter, The Old Schoolhouse is a Belhaven Pub and the food has that chain pub taste… saying that if you are just looking for Pub Grub it is a good option and the fried Squid was delicious! When I visited it was fairly quiet but I imagine it’s got a great atmosphere when there’s rugby or football on as it’s a good size and has lots of screens… Thanks to the Old Schoolhouse for your hospitality!

We spent a very pleasant afternoon with 7 of us in the side-room chatting, eating and drinking. Food is good standard pub food, service is speedy and courteous

Best service of any pub in West End

Lovely Christmas day dinner. Very relaxed, time between courses. Suited us. Food was lovely, present for the child. Reasonable priced drinks.

Brought my family for a meal, food was delicious and great value - especially the Sunday roasts! Lots of yummy desserts to choose from. Friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food we will definitely visit again
