Always great! We've come to the Toby jug many times over the years when in Glasgow. Love their cocktails especially the venom. We had some food - I had the burger although I found the bap a little to hard for me. The other half had a steak pie and he absolutely loved it - he said the pastry was perfect. Staff are always friendly and helpful

Toby Jug is a lovely, warm and friendly Glasgow city centre pub. A well run bar and the management and staff as so friendly especially Margaret. Kat and Lynsey. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They have such a good repore with old and new customers. Good pub grub. Would thoroughly recommend so close to the train station.

Popped in on a Friends recommendation with my Son and his Friend. Took our seats and viewed the menu. Son wanted a buger/chips and his Friend a pizza. Told at bar they don't do 'main meals' at the weekend - how odd. Whilst waiting to get served, which was a considerable time - another customer stands at bar to my left and is then served first!. I questioned the individual if he had ever heard of queuing!! - bar staff at fault here. 3 staff on for a pub that was extremely busy inside and out. Son and Friend shared the pizza, which was seemingly very good. We then decided on 3 side plates to share. Went to bar, waited and waited. My Sons Friend and I split up to see who would get served first. Customer in front of me was served, I took a step to the side to let him away from the bar and at that the person behind me jumped in to take my slot. Ignorant so and so!. I then went to my Sons Friend at another area of the bar and exclaimed loudly that we were leaving - useless bar staff who had not a clue as to who was next to be served and frequented by a shower of ignorant so and sos. Will never set foot inside it again ! - wish we had never bothered with the place.

The Toby Jug, was a Decent pub before, but I visited recently and, man had changed, in terms of atmosphere, staff friendliness and what not, make you feel uncomfortable/welcome unless your regular, shouldn't be the case in a city centre pub or bar, so probably be another good while, before I'm back in there, unless it changes for better,

Absolute rip off of a pub. £5 for 1 bottle of Miller. £for a single J D and coke. Avoid if you want your moneys worth. The locals around here call the street Hopeless Street instead of its proper name of Hope Street that says it all really.

OK, firstly it's a decent pub with a good atmosphere. But seriously how can the management think having someone in a toilet pimping cheap toiletries and handing out paper towels for tips is a good business idea? I've seen this in Spain and Greece but never in Scotland. That together with the miserable bar staff who look like they'd like to be anywhere but serving customers makes me wonder who owns this pub and why they allow such low standards in a customer oriented industry to exist. Not a good look for Glasgow - must do better.

Me and my boyfriend were wanting to go for my birthday. He said he has been there before as he enjoyed it. However, when we got asked for id we both showed our drivers licences and she would not except his as he looked “too young”. He had bank card, student card and pictures, phone settings. He has never had this problem before. Very disappointed that they wouldn’t accept an ID that is NOT out of date. He is 20 😭. She was very rude which put me off ever going back there.

The 2£ pints were really nice however the food was horrible. The veggie burger had a pattie and tomato, no sauce or cheese. There was some white sauce in the mac and cheese which didn’t taste good. The service was nice and we were checked on multiple times. I would stick to drinks and appetizers if I were you.

How times have changed I use to go in the Toby jug on a Friday and Saturday, but when I went in the bar had hand pulled ale but it looks like the real ale as gone and the pub is now a fizz pub that only sells fizzy beer ie gas filled beer. But I haven't been in the Toby jug for well over 11 years now but I don't drink alcohol now due to serious health issues. But I do miss drinking in the Toby jug

This is a proper Glasgow boozer. Don't be fooled by the small exterior, this place is pretty big inside. Full of brilliant characters and staff who really do make you smile when you talk to them. Service is wonderful and quick given how busy this place is all the time. Why is it so busy? Because the bar is priced excellently. Range of cheap and expensive beers, jugs of fun cocktails and well priced food to help you soak up all that drinking. Long may the Toby Jug last, it's a proper Glasgow institution. Given the area it's in (previously commented on this nasty bit of town in and around central station) I've never a whiff of trouble in the bar or outside it. Note to tourists: if you want to drink like a local then pop in here for a couple and strike up a chat with someone. I'm sure you will be feeling like Glasgow is your home town in no time.

I previously gave The Toby Jug a 5 * review and it was my favourite pub for over 10 years, but after my last 2 visits (last night included), I probably won't be back. Last night, the music was so loud that they could have been reported to the HSE for breach of health & safety standards (for staff and customers). No-one could hear to have a conversation. I went to the bar to ask them to please turn it down and some guy walked from the customer side of the bar and turned up the volume even higher. The volume was ridiculous. They eventually turned off the speaker over our heads at the back of the pub, but it was still blaring everywhere else. The music was far too loud on our last visit a few weeks ago too, so we have been going to Wetherspoons instead, but had decided to give the Toby Jug another chance last night. We were in a big group and it was so difficult to even hear the person next to you. Really ruined the night. I won't be back. Plus Points It is less than a minute's walk from Glasgow Central station. In the station pub, a glass of wine costs around £7. In the Toby Jug, a BOTTLE of house wine is just under £8. You can get a pint of lager for less than £2. Those prices bang in the city centre cannot be beaten! The Toby Jug has comfy seats, clean toilets, lots of TVs (for football) and lovely staff. There are seats outside for smokers. As I said, I've changed my previous 5 star rating. Although the Toby Jug was a favourite for more than 10 years, I wouldn't go back now because the music is totally blaring, even on a week night. What's the point of going for a relaxing drink with your partner or friends if you can't even speak to each other over the music?

Worst shawarma I’ve ever had. I grew up with the best Lebanese/Middle Eastern food outside of the old country in Dearborn, Michigan. I enjoy pushing the envelope a bit with the cooks up King Street and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, and while a bit greasy, that food is all right. Shawarma Boy? Man: you gotta grow up. It’s clear that the food is hanging on its laurels with jalapeños, chilli…and zero taste underneath. For £13 for a wrap and chips, I expect a lot more than a tiny wrap which was made wrong in the first place - not okay for someone to order food without stuff to then have half the junk on it...I mean, get it together. The worst chicken shawarma I’ve ever tasted in the entire world can be found at Shawarma Boy in the Barras - Calton, Glasgow at BAaD. It's awful. Avoid.

Place is a shambles. No consistency whatsoever. Shut every time we visit. Ye phone to order and they to you use the app. The app doesn’t work. Their timings are all over the shot. What’s the point in having a shop if you’re never open or reliable. Local area needs a better roll shop pronto. Would make a killing.
