Absolutely horrific customer service at West Brewery yesterday. We arrived at 2:45 and the venue only had a few tables seated. We waited well over 40 minutes for a member of staff to come over to take our drinks order despite there being 8 staff on shift. We were completely ignored despite other groups coming in well after us who were seated had drinks and food served to them in this time frame. On 4 occasions my wife went over to a member of staff to ask if someone could take our order to be told "we will be with you in 2 minutes" and other members of staff walking in the complete opposite direction to avoid her. This all was extremely stressful as we had our 5 month old baby with us and we were on a time schedule. We finally got our drinks order despite being there for well over an hour and then had to wait another 20 minutes for someone to come over to take our food order (again despite there being loads of staff in the premises who were more interested in talking to each other). We eventually got our food which was completely underwhelming. The Jager Schnitzel was not traditional. It had no breadcrumbs on it and was literally a fried sausage with little flavour. Literally one of the worst places I have ever been to for the service in my life. All of the staff seemed not interested. Overall we were in West for almost 2 hours for some fried food and 1 beer each which is diabolical. I would understand if the place was extremely busy and short staffed but it was not (the tables were only a quarter full). Will definitely not be back and will not be recommending to others.

Went in and ordered a burger and a hot dog. After an hour and people around us getting their food (after half our wait), we decided to just leave. Would give no stars, as didn't even get to try food, but unable to give less that 1. Won't be back. P.s. this is not the first time this has happened to us in there...and the coffee we received (but didn't pay for) was bitter and tasted like luke warm dish water.

Mi dispiace moltissimo dare due stelle (in realtà avrei voluto metterne una ma considerando che la birra ed i pretzel sono molto buoni, ho dato la seconda stella). Conosco da tempo le loro birre e per una volta ho pensato che sarebbe stato interessante fare il tour, così ho prenotato il pacchetto experience con tour e cena. Che errore madornale. Il tour è stato un incubo, la guida parlava una lingua incomprensibile, praticamente come se uno di Napoli va a Milano e la guida inizia a parlare in dialetto milanese stretto, stesso concetto. Vivo a Glasgow da 5 anni ma è stato veramente difficile capire cosa dicesse il ragazzo. Praticamente soldi buttati. Per concludere, arriviamo alla cena. Menù ridotto, e ci sta, quello che non mi sta bene è che se si presenta già un menù ridotto, bisognerebbe avere l'accortezza di avere tutti i già pochi piatti proposti, e invece neanche quello. Veramente veramente pessimo. Che delusione. Morale della favola, se non siete madrelingua inglese o ferratissimi con l'accento di Glasgow quello veramente stretto stretto, lasciate perdere il tour, soldi buttati proprio.

The perfect wedding venue! My partner and I flew from Canada for this wedding and planned it all over Zoom and email. As you can imagine, we were really nervous as we wouldn't see our venue until the day before we got married. The staff at WEST put our mind at ease (special thanks to Arlene, the events coordinator, for answering our many questions)! The day was busy for WEST due to the Great Scottish Run finishing on the Green at the same time, but that didn't stop them from helping us with any questions or issues and making sure our wedding went smoothly. We got married in the Hop room with 24 guests and it was the perfect size. The staff then moved us out in to the ballroom for a small drinks reception while my husband and I got photos out on the green and they changed the room for dinner. It was quick and efficient and set up beautifully with our small flower arrangements. The food was amazing and I still think about it! They catered to all the dietary restrictions my group had with no troubles. After that, they asked us to head to the back one more time to change it into our reception before welcoming us back for dancing. We are so thankful for WEST hosting our wedding and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

I completely get that it's the busiest time of the year but the restaurant took so many big bookings at the same time. As a result we waited 30 mins for drinks and they didn't come back to ask us if we wanted more in the 2 hours we were there. It took 1 3/4 hours to get food and the food was ok but the whole experience was shambolic. We've been a good few times and it's never been like that so I hope it was a one off.

We arrived with our dog around 5.30. The place was busy, but not full as some tables available. Waitress tried to place us a table where staff would be walking around which with a dog wasn’t ideal. Asked to move to a quieter table which seemed to be a difficult question for them. They did move us. Few drinks and some food, both of which were good. Service was poor tbh. Kinda of felt like our waitress couldn’t really be bothered. It’s clear the staff obviously have their specific roles and they didn’t like being asked to do something out with it. On our last round I ordered a margarita cocktail, but was told they didn’t have any…..so I ordered an old fashioned and my partner a half pint. Her half pint arrived and I was told that they didn’t have the ingredients for an old fashioned. I complained that that was the 2nd cocktail that they didn’t have and why didn’t they tell me this before bringing my partners drink. As I said above, the service is poor, which is a shame as it’s a nice pub with decent food.

I write this in the hope the owner does something about this. West used to be great before lockdown the staff were on the ball and the food was good. Now however a lot has changed recently the menu has been limited due to supplier issues but even before this the food quality has gone down hill. The food service is also very slow. The staff are friendly but completely unorganised. Orders go missing and you have to wait forever for drinks. Does not make for a pleasant dinning experience. I do hope it can be turned round to something like it used to be.

That aside when we went there it was fathers day so things were quite busy but the service etc was quite slow to the table and we had to prompt the server to come over When ordering they had also run out of quite a few things as well and that's to be expected When I ordered I had the steak, medium rare, it was quite tough and I would have sent it back had i not been as hungry Cannot fault the staff who were lovely and attentive with good recommendations for the pints so thank you I would go back though as the beer was amazing 👏 👌

Great place for beer! Unfortunately this time the food wasn't up to scratch. We booked for a Sunday evening 6:30 ... seated quickly but it took 20 minutes, or so, to get a drinks order taken. After we asked for our order to be taken we were informed they didn't have a lot left. Disappointing as my partner had been looking forward to the WURSTplatter! No corn ribs or meatballs available either. We ended up getting the dipping steak which was a pretty rubbish cut of meat. The desserts, sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake were nice. The pretzels aren't great. 'Auntie Anne's' are still the best! Can't fault them for the beers and when we finally received service it was from helpful, friendly staff. Hopefully next time we visit the food will be better!

Dreadful service at West. We were guided by the waitress to our table for something to eat, the waitress told us what wasn’t available on the menu so we chose 2 meals that were available and gave our drinks order. We were then informed 5 minutes later by the same waitress that kitchen “basically doesn’t have anything”. After questioning this, managed to find out that the kitchen staff had decided to close early! Really poor manager who offered zero apology and obviously doesn’t know how to control his own kitchen or communicate to his staff. I will NEVER eat here again (Or attempt to) Everyone seems to run about like headless chickens. No organisation. Total chaos. Shame, as we’ve been going to West for years.

Absolutely shocking experience. Booked for 6pm for food and drinks, arrived and we were put in the bar area even though we had booked ahead for food. The girl who sat us just pointed at a random table said you can sit there (didn’t even have enough chairs for us). My partner went to the bar and stood there for 25mins waiting to get a drink and order food to then be told food would be another hour wait at least, which would have been helpful to know when we arrived. There were 4 lanes to queue but only 2 people serving? Ended up leaving and going elsewhere. Can’t even blame the staff, there’s clearly not enough people being put on shift. Great beers and a great beer garden but they clearly don’t want to pay to put additional staff on, was obviously going to be busy on a sunny Saturday, felt bad for the staff to be honest but won’t be going back anytime soon.

Went here with a group of friends. I have been here been here many times and the more I go, the service gets worse. We were a group of 8. We were told, upon asking, the reason they couldn’t take the order for our meal was because they had another few groups in and couldn’t take anymore orders. Right, so they could take the booking for the table but couldn’t take a food order. Okay. Our table was booked for 7pm… we ate our dinner at 8.45!!!! The service was extremely slow. You literally had to stand up and wave your hand in the air to catch the attention of a waiter. We made a complaint and they kindly took money off the bill, but still…nearly two hours wait for a burger and chips!?!?! The staff I must say were very nice. Extremely friendly and courteous…but there was by far not enough of them for a busy restaurant on a Saturday night. The main problem was the kitchen. Now when it arrived the food was lovely and I have no complaints about that but obviously the kitchen is far too small for a busy restaurant or they don’t have enough chefs. I’m not sure what the problem is but it needs sorted. As I said Iv been here before, they always say they have had staff issues or kitchen issues. Once there was one waitress running the whole place herself. Three times Iv had to wait, there won’t be a forth.

I was a big fan of West beer and was really excited to visit this place. Upon arrival, we waited about 25/30 minutes at the table, with no sign of an opportunity to order. I had to catch a waitress leaving a nearby table to ask if we could make our order. When our drinks arrived (2x flight of beers), I asked if we could have some water for the table and was met by a disgruntled sigh by the waitress. It made us feel deeply uncomfortable. There was a wedding reception, it was busy, but I don’t feel this is an excuse. The place should be appropriately staffed and basic manners maintained. The food was mediocre. I rarely leave reviews, and I like to give the benefit of the doubt, but the experience was so bad that I would recommend avoiding this place.

I was visiting Glasgow Green and through I would pop into West End Brewery with my wife for some Dinner. The place was 3/4 empty so we asked for a table to get something to eat. The sign said wait to be seated so we waited and were asked if we had a booking. I said no we just wanted to get some food and just walked in. The manager said we have no spaces available without booking. I looked at the dining area and it was almost completely empty. I said to him that there are tons of tables available we are only 2 people. He said we have nothing available and are still setting up. I'm sure 90 percent of their diners were not all going to come in at once. They could have accommodated us but I guess they are doing so well they don't need our custom. It's places like this that only care when the number these need dip. This is the type of customer service that kills a business and I won't be back and if they treat everyone like this then neither will others. The restaurant was empty but if they keep turning away customers like this I'm sure that will be the case more and more.

I have always been a massive fan of WEST, we made a visit last week which unfortunately if it was my first visit would certainly have been my last visit. We arrived and we were seated quickly. We were left for at least 20 minutes without any drinks or food orders being taken, the place wasn't busy. The gent serving wasn't particularly friendly and informed us that the menu had just changed the prior day. The 3 of us at the table ordered the sandwich options, steak, meatball and caprese, they are priced between £6&£9 for the sandwich alone. You can add a side of soup or salad for £4, saving you 50p on the cost of a side of chips ordered separately. We also ordered the newly to menu corn ribs priced at £5 The food arrived and was unfortunately not up to much, the steak in the sandwich was grizzly and chuck, the caprese sandwich had one soft slice of bread and one hard slice and the meatballs were lovely. The added chips arrived in the smallest bowl at least 1/3 of the size of the usual portion but only 50p less. Definitely order separately if you intend to add chips, you will get much better value for money. The corn ribs were not upto much they had too much garlic and paprika powder poured over them that the taste was nothing but powder. We sat another 20 minutes of so at the end waiting to catch someone's attention for the bill. It took us getting up to leave for the waiter to come after us to present the bill. Such a shame given the previous great experiences.

The beer is still incredible but the prices have gone up and for some of the items are borderline ridiculous. Currywurst and chips shouldn't be a double digits meal, nor should the curry dog. And £3.45 for a pretzel is absolute greed when it's around 90c in Germany. Would still go for the beer, location and abundance of dugs but will go elsewhere for cheaper and better scran.

We booked West tonight on the occasion of one of my daughter’s birthday which is not relevant overall. We chose here as it is dog friendly, yes we had our dog with us, It’s a Wednesday night, 7pm, fairly occupied when we arrived to be pointed in the direction of our table. We sat. We waited and at 7.30 we ordered 4juices and a beer. We received them later, then ordered. And we waited. And waited. Eventually we were told that one of our orders was not available on the menu, only 45 minutes after ordering it….. It’s the small attention to detail that matters which is non existent in this place, which we have eaten in before. The service is dire and staff are not attentive to customers. The staff have an inability to listen to what is being asked for and do not expect stupid things like ketchup to arrive to accompany your substandard food when it eventually arrives. Will not be back. It’s such a shame and a disappointment. The staff are not interested which is disappointing. We sent food back and by the time it came back was too late and were given a box to take it away. With hindsight we should have refused to take it and equally refused to pay for the same, but some of us have manners which is not a given in West sadly. There is great potential for this once decent place…..sort it out! Do not expect a warm welcome in any format, the place is freezing also!

A great taplist of mostly their own beers. The food was superb (one of the best pretzels around - definitely recommend the honey mustard dipping sauce), and the beers matched the food so well. The West brewery flight is a bargain for the quality. The satff were friendly and very helpful. The place itself looked like an old German tavern - lots of dark wood and low lighting. A fantastic place to stop for dinner and drinks!

Great experience, had coffee and a scone with jam and cream. My friend didn't like the cream and they very quickly replaced it. Very nice staff.

Stopped in for lunch on our way through Glasgow. Great food and fantastic beer - we bought some to take away! Good service too. A little difficulty park nearby but we found somewhere. Only slight issue was another customer's dogs yapping and being allowed to sit on the seats - not something I personally like where food is being served .

Both the assistants that served me were very helpful and able to answer any requests I had. The burger I had was nothing to write home about, the rye roll was quite heavy to get through some chutney on the nicely spiced chicken would of helped, my portion of onion rings weren't crispy a bit greasy, fries were crisp but lacked flavour or seasoning and the meal may display better on a smaller plate.

Came here to scratch a nostalgia itch and discovered that what they serve bears the same resemblance to traditional German grub that a cuppa brewed on the Heart Of Gold bears to tea, namely "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea (or Schnitzel)". Reibekuchen with random, unnecessary spices and homeopathic amounts of apple sauce. Chargrilled "Schnitzel" that was much, much too salty and chunky chips, when you'd expect skinny fries. The Strudel was passable, at least. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I always like supporting dog friendly spaces, but this German won't be back.

Good food and superb beer, good kids facilities too. Social club for dog lovers so won't be back as allergic and they are everywhere in here.

Used to be nice. Now it's very expensive and the atmosphere is unpleasant.

Visited this venue for Sunday lunch after having popped in several times previously for coffee/snacks after walking our dog in Glasgow Green. Had high hopes but sadly both main meals were very disappointing. My wife had battered fish with chips. Not much room for error with such a basic meal??? Wrong. The batter on the fish was way too heavy, turning to mush when cut into. I nearly ordered this but glad I didn't. I had the Burger with trimmings. Again, very disappointing. Burger was almost rubbery and simply not vert nice. We had hoped for a decent experience with the intention of visiting regularly with our dog as part of a day out. We will return - but only for a coffee and snack as per our previous visits. As I said, very disappointing.

We've been here before, but I've never left a review. So I will for today's visit which was, as always, wonderful. Ann-Marie was our waitress and she was so nice! Really cheery and made conversation, including a fair few laughs 😃 She checked on us and our food without being intrusive. She also helped my husband when he bought some beer to take home. The food was superb, I mean really good, tasty and well presented. Ann-Marie took the time to explain portion sizes etc as, although I have a healthy appetite, I have a small belly capacity lol, so I hate ordering big portions that I know I'll never make a dent it, even with hubby's help 😜 It was a really lovely couple of hours, very nice, good quality 🍺 beer. Great food, comfy and lovely place, fab staff and then home on the train. Next time we will defo do the brewery tour!

Came in for late lunch after seeing it on way past today. Atmosphere and good was nice but very poor / slow service. The place wasn't not even half full, waited 10 minutes to be seated - when only people waiting. Almost 1 hour and 45 Mina for two burgers and paying.

We booked ahead and were very excited as we had heard great things. Love the building from the outside and inside is nice too. It was a busy Sunday lunchtime, we were seated near the window. Staff were friendly. The food wasn't anything special and we felt disappointed. We ordered a few different dishes to try.

I buy St Mungo lager in key keg format and it's a top quality product - brewed in accordance to the German purity law. The keykeg format is arguably the best way to enjoy this special lager.

Called in for lunch just before 12.00 noon so we had Tea/Coffee while waited. Service was efficient but the dining room was quite cold. By the time I finished my main course it was quite cold. Not cheap. £12.50 for a burger and chips.

I was gifted an Itison voucher for a bottle of prosecco and a cheeseboard. Visited on Saturday afternoon with my friend. We were the only ones in the dining area so there wasn’t much atmosphere and we were pretty much left to our own devices. We had to tell staff on more than one occasion that it was a bottle of Prosecco and not a glass, going as far as having to ask where our bottle was after we finished our first glass as it had been taken away. The ‘cheeseboard’ which arrived was unlike any cheeseboard I’ve ever had. Two small pieces of Brie, two small triangles of another cheese and a wedge of blue with six small crackers and some quince. This was served to us on a side plate and not a board. The entire selection was extremely lacking and totally underwhelming. The presentation left a lot to be desired. The limited selection and total lack of atmosphere as well as poor service by staff mean that I won’t be rushing back any time soon.
