The Saracen Head in Glasgow City

Great atmosphere and excellent Guinness

Great place for a great pint, gets loud when the Big Yin and all his Apostles come in....very scruffy group that like to take the piss out of everyone but generally nice lads,beware of Judas though he's a tout.

Came to visit from Germany. Went there before and after Celtics game. We had the time of our lives. We‘ll be back!

Always a quality pint in the Sarry Heid be it TL or Guinness.

Great Pub. Good Pints. Lovely Staff

Good pint of Tennents lager and entertainment was spot on,I visited it on a Sunday afternoon and it was quiet but it soon got busy about an hour later and the Singer TJ Mac is a really good singer.

Fantastic pub with friendly staff a must visit for celtic fans after matches at celtic park

Excellent place friendly staff and good vibes

Came across this place st patricks day while walking passed said we would stop for a drink didnt leave again staff were great craic and the music was good

Best Sunday afternoon session in a long time

Great service and excellent Entertainment and the bar staff are very friendly well recommended by me

Proper old style pub loved paying it a visit 😀

Absolutely brilliant service from the server Lorna who kindly helped myself and my family throughout our lunch looking out especially for my mum who has recently had a health scare. Friendly and caring service that is why we come back again and again

A real gem 1750s pub steeped in history after shopping at Barraland. Locals welcomed us on walking in prompt service friendly staff nice fire burning oh how quaint. Nice beer with Irish music. Lots of soccer fans in before their game yes great for 2 pints on our walk back to the Cental Station wud definitely visit again David Mcgraw Cape Town

Well.. where to start. We had come to to see the Whistlin Donkeys at Glasgow Barrowlands. Decided ona wee dram beforehand. It had been nearly 34 years since I had a drink in the old Saracens Head pub as a young Sailor. Without a doubt an old style pub... spit and may be not sawdust on the floor.... but the warm welcome and the Glasgow banter was something else. Forget a modern pub...... and enjoy a blast from the past. A true working man's pub from old. Fantastic. Looking forward to calling again.... even though I don't like football...

First time in here. Came before and after the Celtic game and this is definitely the best pub for atmosphere. Great loud booming sound system and great people.

Nice bar,staff very friendly.great atmosphere

Real old school Celtic oriented no frills pub. Opening times are limited and very, very busy on football days. Definitely an experience!

Fab little pub 🍻 great atmosphere owners lovely and we felt very welcomed we will be back ☘️☘️

Great bar love it in hear staff are lovely xox

Never left an online review before but felt I had to for this gem of a pub. Not only the best pint of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland but hands down one of the best pints I've ever had. We spent a Saturday afternoon here. The bar itself is a proper old pub that oozes character and the barman/owner is an absolute gentleman. Will be back and sooner the better.

Pub de Glasgow adecuado frente a las Barras. Pub celta recordado con cariño por muchos. Una buena pinta, una charla y un lugar para descansar los pies cansados, gran pub.

Best pub in Gollowgate. And museum, Maggie the last witch to be burned at stake and Robert burns hand written poem..and many others.. staff very friendly and all social distance measures in place..

If it's good enough for the Big Yin it's good enough for us

Great old pub since1755 doubt I'll make 300th birthday but who knows

Great pub if you are a Celtic supporter.

Blasting loud music with open doors. Obnoxious and aggressive manager/owner.

Brilliant piece of Glasgow history.

Very historic. Barman full of knowledge.

Pub celta de estilo antiguo con pantallas de TV en cada rincón, pero los precios son muy baratos, así que si quieres un pub tradicional con precios baratos, esta es la venua perfecta.

Apropiado pub de Glasgow de la vieja escuela que tendrás problemas para encontrar en Glasgow estos días. Tan pronto como entras por las puertas, es como escuchar un álbum de Billy Connolly de los años 70. Parece ser un pub de Celtic Match Day, así que me imagino que se llena mucho el día de Match Day, pero (como fanático de Celtic) el bar bar era muy acogedor y estaba feliz de charlar. Si en la zona y buscando una pinta rápida sin duda consideraría aquí de nuevo.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's an institution, you've got to experience it. But don't just go and look in the door, take a photo and leave. Buy a pint, chat to the barman, speak to the locals. This is real Glasgow, albeit real east end Glasgow. This is Rab C Nesbitt country, embrace it, but hurry because there are a lot of yuppy establishments around it that could put it out of business sooner than later.

Pub looks as if it has changed little over the years. Great beer and nice to have a few beers in a glass before going over the road to the excellent Barrowlands. Lots of history in this pub. After chatting with the barman it was evident there was a lot more to this pub than it being a favourite of Billy Connolly. Ask to see the visitor's book and look at some of the highlighted entries. Lots of movies and TV have been filmed in the pub and some of the stars have signed there names. Great experience and decent beer. Very enjoyable and interesting area of Glasgow.

Characterful place, very friendly welcome by staff as well as locals. Cheapest drinks and good. We loved it, even though it was a quiet sunday late afternoon, probably after a hectic weekend..

The Saracen Heid (Sarry Heid to locals) a traditional Glasgow Pub that is said to be the oldest in the city. If visiting as a tourist it is ok for a quick drink then move on, as can be 'charactful', and noisy at times, so unless this is what you seek it is best to avoid when e.g. Celtic FC are playing at home.

Friend recommended we visit the Sarry Heid while in the area. Staff were friendly, great banter with the clientele, warm fire blazing, cold beers. What more could you ask for?

I'd heard rumours of this fierce pub in Glasgow so we popped in here as we walked around the Gallowgate. Its said to be the oldest pub in Glasgow, dating back to 1755. Staff were friendly, as were the 'locals'. Its a characterful place and well worth a visit.

This is a crackin' we pub, with live music & good banter, staff are very warm and welcoming. We go to this pub every time we're up the east end of Glasgow. Not much more to say really other than LOVE IT!!

The Sarree Heed as it is known locally, is a real mans pub. It can be a scary place when you walk in, but the locals and staff are friendly

Love this place every second saturday they host a gay themed dsy with flags and bunting and a lot of gay men

This is a character-laden pub with unique clientele and a unique ambience. Quality staff and quality swally. Loos are primitive but at least they have a ladies shunk now.

Others talk about this being a typical Glasgow east end pub (yadda yadda), but go in there on a Saturday afternoon after a Celtic game and you'll walk into a hotbed of Irish republicanism.There are many proper east end pubs along the Gallowgate without having to run the gauntlet of this rubbish

One of the best pubs in Glasgow. Although well known and in a number of Tourist Guidebooks, the Sarry has maintained its stance as an unapologetic Eat End pub. no gentryfication here and neither is it wanted. Decent people, great barstaff, exellent service and good music when it is on. Come in for a Shammy.
