Wunderbar in Glasgow City

Security refused us entry due to racial profiling.

Racist bouncers on the door didnt let me in because of my english accent😂

Hidden from the main street but worth stopping by. Very nice and good atmosphere

We ended up in her by mistake, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise...only supposed to be here for 2 hrs and ended up here for 5hrs

Horrible bouncers on the door. Asked where we had been. Explained been at a concert where we had one drink about 4hrs previous. Told to find somewhere else with no reason. Group of about 7 lads in front had to queue for a booking that they had and when they got to the front they were told they have missed the booking l

Great pub set up .Good range of beers .tv s for world Cup when visited Another visit Dec 2024 and a trip to the basement club

Refused a group of 4 NHS workers just on an evening out about to join the other 3 in the bar, allowed others to join the bar no problem. Asked us where we have been prior to the bar and then refused entry when explained a karaoke bar, unsure as to why. Not a drunk or rude member in site within our party!

The atmosphere is good, but the volume is a bit too loud (>95 decibels), which is harmful to hearing. There are many people at night, especially in the lobby upstairs.

Great atmosphere but feels very cramped inside. Bar staff are great and efficient. Standard of musician playing is always high

Had a christmas night out here booked months in advance just to get turned back by one of the bouncers because someone in our group who had 1 pint in bucks bar prior was “too far gone” Bouncers need to get off their high horse

Bouncer rejected me because of my skin color, I wish there was a 0/5 review, or that bar shuts forever

Abuse and threats from bouncer when just asked if I could wait outside for friend (won't let you in alone even if your friend is two minutes away and think their jurisdiction extends to the entirety of Dumbarton road.)

We were discriminated against because we were Belgian, but the people after us were allowed in.

The security doesn't allow us in , because the are racist

Very bad service and they kick everyone out they are racially bad they make there life easier

Not enough space and extremely loud music.

Very crowded and hard to get to the Barr for a drink wouldn’t go back I’m not saying this place isn’t good it’s just not for me I am a little bit old for this please

Expensive drinks but free entry and one of my fav nights out in galsgow

Why is there a CCTV unit in the gents toilets? Asked the staff who just laughed. Camera right above the urinals. Seriously creepy

If you're into the sort of place of where the person at the bar sneers at your for a basic order of a few pints, by all means pay a visit to this place.

booked a table for my friends 21st party and all 3 bouncers said we were not allowed in as there were 4 of us usually love the place but will not be back(i took pictures of proof as to who said so)

Had to basically argue with the duty manager as I was a "single entry" despite proving who I was etc, felt like I'd been unfairly singled out for those who may have caused issues in tje past

Great bar with great live music but jesus christ, its absolutely mobbed, to the point it was pretty dangerous. Took me 15 minutes just to move past everyone to get to the toilet then 35 minutes waiting in the queue for the toilet.

Embarrassing attitude, acted like clown.

Mega busy so worth reserving a table, great atmosphere.

Good bar and atmosphere but need to start looking into who theyre hiring as Bouncers. Seem to enjoy the power trip it gives them knocking back people for no valid reason an robbing them £500 deposit

Never heard a good thing about wunderbar. They act as if it’s Buckingham palace you’re trying to get into😂 They accuse you of being drunk even if you haven’t had a drink yet. There bouncers knocked you back for your outfit even if your simply wearing jeans and a polo shirt. Wouldn’t waste my time trying to get in.

I wouldn’t know what this place is like because the bouncers never let me in. Usual power trip of where you been tonight and not the night pal. I’m not much of a drinker so it baffles me why I’ve been refused as I’m not a drunk and loud kind of person, maybe it’s because I’m not a young girl with a short dress. Either way this a problem across Glasgow but this place is getting famous from this now. I’m sure inside it is a nice place but the company employs these people and they’re representing their establishment

Speechless, didn’t know where to look

Really crowded at first with dj , then live music started and the place got empty after a couple of hours. Drinks are above the average $.

Great gem of a place, hard to find but worth it. Great venue, decor and vibe is cool and unique. The staff were very friendly and efficient, really good choice of drinks and cocktails. Can't remember the names of the the ones we had but they were very tasty indeed, along with some st mungos beer. Had a really cool outdoor section with heaters and smart booths, really handy for smokers like me and can still enjoy the venues vibe. Fair prices as well a good staff makes it a must visit

The name says it all. Incredibly lively, great music, fun atmosphere. Clear security presence that kept things safe and handled folks appropriately.

Bouncers are very aggressive and have left me with bruises over my arm. Avoid at all cost. They should of been more concerned with the boy who was constantly harassing the young lady who I was worried about than with myself, who was only wanting to make sure the girl was safe and OK. I have a son who is only a couple of years younger than her so felt my parent mode kick in. Was met with so called men bouncers screaming in my face and grabbing me violently digging their fingers into my arm which was absolutely unacceptable and unnecessary. Shocking behaviour. Reading other reviews today speaks volumes regarding the bouncers. The owner really needs to sort this out. I admit I should have reported the young man's behaviour than try and sort it myself which was a fault on my part. I am still very confused to why they felt being as aggressive as they were was appropriate as I would have left if I was asked to no problem. Screaming in my face when I had no clue why and grabbing me hurting me didnt make sense. I can only imagine the incident with the boy and the girl was the reason as I couldnt understand the screaming from the bouncers and was overwhelmed by the aggression. Won't be back obviously. Be very aware of these bouncers if you go here. If you see behaviour that isn't ok. Make sure to report it than try to resolve it yourself. Lesson learned on my part. But these bouncers need to get a grip of their behaviour.

Absolutely ridiculous in here. Went last night for the first time and it was absolutely heaving. Couldn’t move or even get the toilet because the queue was massive. Was in there two minutes and had to leave because I couldn’t breathe, don’t know why they weren’t turning people away at the door So dangerous as if there was a fire everyone would be trampling on each other

Absolutely packed in here and a danger hazard someone will seriously get hurt in here one day if continue this way. I was in here for 5 minutes last night and had to leave was literally touching bodies with everyone in there and couldn’t breathe. Shouldn’t be letting people in when it’s this packed! Turn random people away too after queuing for a long time won’t be back.

Doesn't do singles. Clearly only interested in cash. Avoid at all costs

Great place for a Thursday evening!

CCTV IN TOILETS BEWARE. Male toilets no soap. Bar area, stairs to toilets floor not cleaned properly. That sticky feeling. Got the feeling the member of staff who served me was out his face on drugs. Casually put a slice of lemon in my drink with his fingers then wipped them on his denims. Looks trendy and modern but needs better management to make sure the place could live up to expectations.

I had a deeply troubling experience with the Wunderbar Security Team. We were denied entry without any explanation, and one particular staff member of Indian descent was especially unprofessional and dismissive. His behavior was rude and seemed intentionally obstructive, which made us feel like our treatment might have been influenced by racial bias. This kind of conduct is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about fairness and discrimination. I hope Wunderbar takes immediate action to address these issues and ensure that all guests are treated with respect and dignity.

It wasn't bad, but more for younger people who go out more to hang out or party. There was a guy playing that was good but we caught him almost at the end and they turned up the music a lot.

expensive drinks and not really good live music. atmosphere was mid overall aswell. but the location was good and the interior design aswell

Wunderbar used to be somewhere I enjoyed going, but not anymore. It is always far too busy, you can't move and everyone is packed in to such a small area. The music is good I won't be returning though. On a recent visit, my pal got chucked out because he was told someone made a complaint against him and someone felt like they were being harassed. My pal was sober & was literally stood at the back of the dance floor listening to music and enjoying his night whilst we got drinks from the bar.He was told to get his jacket and leave. Bouncers were so arrogant & had no intention of listening to us. Absolutely shocking way to treat someone! If you enjoy a night out with drinks & music, I'd recommend somewhere else as this venue isn't what it used to be like

Great live entertainment Brill atmosphere.

Terrible bar. Don’t even bother. Bouncer declines people at random. So many better places. Not worth anyone’s time.

literally go anywhere but here, the place is trash and the bouncers are trashier. (Also literally filled with kids and their fake id’s)

Full of spice boys, music/djs are terrible and bouncers leave a lot to be desired.

Discriminatory bouncers. Let me in but didn't let some of my friends in based on looks, including a disabled friend. Disgusting. Place seemed okay so tried again the next night which was much quieter and the same thing happened. When trying to have a sober, candid chat about it the manlets on the door just got on an aggressive power trip. Truly pathetic

Awfully run place with unpleasant door staff. Avoid .

Arrived here yesterday to see if it was as good as people had said. Was very busy upstairs, so we were going to go elsewhere but bouncers told us there was much more room downstairs, which we didn’t know existed. When we got downstairs, there weren’t many people but so many tabes had reserved signs on. Obviously we totally avoided those tables and chose one with no sign on. We were loving the place, drinks were lovely, singer was fabulous. There were only 3 of us, so we told other people they could sit at opposite end of table. We had been there approximately 2 hours when a member of staff walked over, said our table was reserved and we needed to move. There’s was nothing on that table to say it was reserved and place was quiet when we arrived. We asked if we could at least finish our drinks but were told no, you need to move now. At no point did anyone use the words, sorry for inconvenience, sorry someone made a mistake, it was very confrontational. I’ve never been confronted by such rude staff. Such a shame a nice afternoon was ruined by them. On the way out, we spoke to more people standing about who had also been kicked off tables twice, with no reserved signs. I definitely wouldn’t return.

Was great when it first opened however seems to attract all of the wrong kind these days. Pricey, long waits for a drink and generally a bit boggin inside. No thanks.

Brilliant atmosphere, the musicians were fantastic on both floors, constant good music playing even when the musicians were taking breaks. Very very busy on the Friday night I was there, staff were filling drinks right up to the top of small glasses but it was so packed with people everywhere I ended up covered in sticky alcohol. Trying to squeeze past people to get anywhere at all was a nightmare. The bouncers did ask how many people were in our group (10+ people) before entering, they didn't check ID or bags/pockets but did check the jackets of the people in infront of us. I would go back but I would personally avoid the weekend if I could.

Booked table here and arrived at 4pm Friday 16th August. Shocking power trip attitude the *very young man on the door rude, arrogant and obnoxious some way to greet a customer! The young lady on the door was polite and appeared genuinely embarrassed. My colleagues and I left after a few drinks and spent the evening and lots of money elsewhere. When we left the same doorman was being difficult, the same power trip with some young women and their IDs. If you want a night out in Glasgow PLEASE DON'T GO TO WUNDERBAR!!! I never will again. * there are literally dozens of complaints regarding Wunderbar Glasgow's door staff and on many other sites too not just Google, but the one 2 months ago here is too much of a coincidence Aidan

Nice bar with good drinks. However it’s extremely loud, so hard to hear people. The staff were also not very attentive and it took ages to get our table we booked

Rude bouncers. Traveling abroad. Wanted to experience the rooftop bar. But was denied entrance👎

This is a great pub located off the beaten path, with a fantastic selection of beers and live music. It's the perfect spot for a group night out, although it might be a bit challenging to hold a conversation once the music starts.

Would give zero stars if I could. Solo traveler and wouldn’t let me in as a “solo entry”

I and my friend wanted to get in tonight to have some fun for my birthday. After so much plan and all. A so called security denied us entry without any reason. So unprofessional . Didn’t even ask for IDs or anything. Just how he feels. I wonder if this is how wunderbar operates. I say again, very disappointing!!! Ruined my day. I even shows pictures of my previous visits to the bar. I can’t erase this embarrassment from my memory lol. I’m not underaged and I we went with our IDs. I even 31 lol. And I haven’t even tasted any alcohol today lol. I wonder why he did that.

Didn’t let us in after booking in advance for a party - very odd and there was no reason for it. Very unprofessional environment - don’t go here!!!!

We were looking for a bar after the pub we were at had closed. So we found this one and the bouncers were friendly and uncomplicated. So we went inside and were welcomed by a great spirit: everybody was happy and there was danceable live music (late at night, we really liked that; 90s till 10s). Also the atmosphere was great as it wasn't as dark as other bars and it has an outdoor area where you can chill and smoke if you do. All in all, everyone of us had an awesome night, we loved it!

We had a poor but I fear not uncommon experience when we chose to give our business to Wunderbar on Saturday 24th March 2024 (yes this review is late, but still has a point to make….). Booking at 1pm, we were still eating our food when we were told at 2.45 that our table would be required back at 3pm for another incoming booking. I don’t know how people meeting up from different cities for a reunion are meant to plan a day out these days, as this Covid-driven policy of taking tables back for new bookings, has become latched onto by establishments such as Wunderbar to create a revolving door of booking who are buying food and beer, and not just beer. We would have happily sat and order bottle after bottle of Prosecco and pints of beer until 8pm, however we were not given much in the way of consideration or sympathy by the staff, constantly citing that they were sorry but they were fully booked, despite our party having a member who walked with crutches and moving from pub to pub was not really an option. Fair enough if you position your establishment as a restaurant (Wunderrestaurant perhaps?) but to go to a “bar” and be turfed out of your table because you’re merely drinking and not eating is going to present a problem for many hostelries as the cost of living crisis bites and people vote with their feet to go to a more flexible and welcoming “bar”. Very disappointing and couldn’t really see us coming back to this place, as who goes out for only two hours?

A group of us were in Wunderbar recently, had a good time until a large fight broke out, security were fast on the scene, however due to issues outwith their control they were told they were ‘not allowed’ to throw these individuals out of the bar. Several other fights continued to break out thoughout the night involving the same people and they were still allowed to remain in the bar. They continued to make everyone feel uncomfortable, were clearly very inebriated and in any other club they would have been removed immediately. We then spoke to the bouncers about this and said we were leaving as a result of these people, and they said their hands were tied by ‘higher ups’ and could not throw these individuals out. We have collectively decided we will not be returning to Wunderbar as a result of this incident, and will not be returning to any establishments in Glasgow owned by the same people. Will also be spreading this message as I do not want someone to have an uncomfortable experience in their establishments as a result of ridiculous money politics. We felt unsafe directly because of these people, and those in charge of our safety did nothing about it. Do not go.

Fun bar with great live music. Good beer selection.

Booked a table for 10 and given a booth outback which was a tight squeeze for us all to fit in. Asked for more chairs which were refused. Also in a smoking area and none of us were smokers.

Great drinks. Wonderful service. Very lively and beautiful vibe.

Arrived around 6pm to meet friends for drinks, all the inside seats were reserved for later and had to sit outside which was ok. We had been sitting outside for a few hours and told our seats were reserved and to vacate them in 1 hour despite being told earlier that none of the outside seats were reserved. Also a few of our party were sitting on the ground in front of our table when a staff member told them to move as it was near the fire exit. Low and behold within a few hours you couldn't even see the fire exit as there were so many people in front of it and staff didn't bat an eyelid, strange..

Went last Saturday at 6pm to celebrate a Birthday. Barely got to the start of the queue before one of the bouncers told us to go 'get some food' and come back in half an hour, before even talking to us. We were nowhere near drunk and had one or two drinks each. Anyway, we explained we had just had a three course meal, therefore did not need food and the bouncer was not listening to a word were saying and was being completely arrogant. It was apparent that the bouncer had a bad attitude and gets off on ruining peoples night for no reason. Whilst we were standing there, one of the bouncers said to the other bouncer 'I'm not letting them in' (referring to a group of boys approaching, half way down the street). Clearly, the bouncers were deciding based on appearance who they were letting in. AVOID!!!

We weren’t allowed in because we were English, bouncer said “not letting in tonight” then let in a Scottish person in the queue afterwards.

Gents toilets need upgraded if I'm totally honest

Absolutely brilliant night in here, from the door staff to bar staff all lovely, the music was great, thank you to the staff who opened the disabled toilet for me, I have mobility issues and the staff couldn't have been anymore helpful.

Easily the best late night bar in Glasgow for sure 👌

Bouncers think they own the place - avoid at all costs

Stupid baldy guy knocked us back not even checking id let 16 year olds in get him revoked baldy tall fella

So fun! The Scottish are soooo friendly

Bouncers are quite judgemental. Was allowed in on Tuesday no hassle, similar outfit. Had a great time, wanted to go back. Tried again on Friday, was asked to go somewhere else within seconds of greeting bouncer. We asked why and wasn't given a reason.

Great experience. Best bar in Glasgow for live music!

Nice environment and delicious food

Staff at door wouldn’t let me in because they didn’t like my dress sense. Next time I will wear a dress as it seems To be the only way they let you. Will never be back. Their loss.

Had an amazing night and the staff were so friendly

Visited late on a Monday. It was surprisingly busy. An a t was onstage banging out a few popular numbers. Went to the bar a few times. Ne error had to wait too long and always met with a smile. Wunderbar..

Awesome bar kinda hidden like a speakeasy

Intimidating bouncers on door, only let 3 of our party in, refused to say why others couldn't get in, we were all sober and honestly dont know the reason they only let the females in?

Pathetic. I went in first time there. I was just sipping in my drink (alone) and the so called security person came and asked me to leave. I asked why, and he said "he thinks I am drunk". I was sitting, not even talking to anyone or looking around. I felt is racist as I am brown and apparently the ,management don't like us there.

Went in to queue up around 10pm the queue was pretty small. Was met by two bouncers not even facing us a small pale one and a taller bouncer. Didn’t even look our way after saying hello and said “find somewhere else” after a 6 second pause. Again not even facing me and my friend who had been previously watching the football. We came back an hour later and the other bouncer was nice and asked where we had been. Poor service from the small bouncer and his pal who definitely got bullied as a child and takes it out by being a bouncer with god complexes

Security guard stop to me. He said this is a private bar . You can pay me £50 after you can go inside because I’m Asian that’s mean that’s security guard races to me .

Genuinely some of the most moodiest rudest staff I’ve ever met. Coming from someone who works in a bar too. Not just on one occasion aswell . Don’t like the public don’t work in a bar.

Was a great atmosphere with great live music

Best place in Glasgow for live music.

Always pleasant staff manager Anna always goes over and above for the boys from calton fire station

No point trying this place the bouncers are arrogant a holes who knock people back for nothing.

Really nice place with nice music but the bouncers might not let you in for no reason at all. They will ask where you've been before and stuff and try to see whether you're drunk or not but they might just say "you'll have to try somewhere else tonight" when I asked why they replied "I'm telling you you should try somewhere else tonight". Also the guy is like 15 and thinks he's tough and all because he's a bouncer so if you go ask for his ID too.

Bouncers were very rude. Tehy didn’t let us to go inside even though we were not drunk, dressed well. We were 3 boys and 4 girls. When I asked them the reason, they didn’t even say anything. I think, it’s because we are not Scottish and it is a racist place

Some of the worst bouncers you'll meet, they don't quite grasp the purpose of them being there. Just prejudiced dbags trying to feel important. Next to useless when faced with a real problem. Denying entry when I'm there for a drink with my brother, coz no stags allowed? When I've been there dozens of times with a group and given them thousands of £££ in revenue... Nah... Cheap bar.

Incredible atmosphere at the wunderbar, British atmosphere guaranteed!!! (++ when Oasis plays) Be careful, the wunderbeer is really not good!!! Only downside to improve I recommend the Woxy into Wunderbar combo

In wunderbar right now for first time on a Wednesday night. It is excellent. Best post 1am experience in Glasgow. Live music and outdoor seating area

Bouncers were rough and very unapproachablex created a very uncomfortable atmosphere for my friends who paid for a booth. Will not be coming back.

I wasn't allowed in on an empty evening even though I was sober. My clothing style was appropriate, so I don't know why I was looked at with judgment at the entrance. Pretty unfriendly at that

I would like to rate something but unfortunately I wasn't allowed in on an empty evening even though I was sober. My clothing style was also more casual chic so I don't know why I was looked at with a disparaging look at the entrance. Pretty unfriendly at that.

Doormen total tossers, about the size of my little toe and discrimate based on age.out for a night out with me dad and my dad was to "old" to get in and some little lass about 12 (clearly wasn't old enough to drink) was let in in front of us.

Great atmosphere, great live music.

Denied entry simply because I was alone. Just purely judgemental.
