Great spot! I was here about 8 years ago, and was excited to bring my now husband. It didn’t disappoint- Prince quote on the door, giant pink disco ball, Arrested Development playing on a projector, comfortable booths, fantastic drinks, and, of course, the vibes and space are fantastic. While we were there, what seemed like an entire bus or two of young adults (18-21 ish) all wearing tennis/golf clothes or other fun costumes (so many visors!) came, took over for about an hour, then left. We were really amused and unfamiliar with their activity (a Scottish friend was happy to fill us in later!) but they were all friendly and having a blast. And the place is so big that it wasn’t an issue whatsoever.The only things that were weird were the bathroom stall was COMPLETELY dark- I had to turn on my phone flashlight or I wouldn’t have seen my hand in front of my face!! And when we asked for two shots of Maker’s, they came together in a rocks glass. Neither were issues, just funny anecdotes. Would send anyone visiting Glasgow here for sure!

Ethan was a 100/10 bartender. Bespoke cocktails for our group , we’re delish.

It's a really cool bar close to the University of Glasgow where you can simply enjoy a glass of cocktail or a beer. You can play pingpong or listen to a DJ mix up some music.

We had a lovely night at the Hillhead Book Club. The atmosphere was lovely. Impressive vegetarian menu. Service was actually great and they were so patient because our companion arrived a little late. We were approached quickly and our drinks were at the table in good time. Food arrived soon after. We had the Veg fish and chips, Marrow bone mac & cheese and the small plate fishcake with poached egg. I would say only that the food needed a bit more seasoning but overall we had a lovely night. Enjoyed it! We will definitely come back and recommend it. The pina-coladas were delicious by the way!

Taco Tuesday is class, that and there’s someone who plays Alvvays songs over the speaker which is worth 5 stars on its own.

Would not recommend. I’ve been to the bookclub before and although it was always quite mid and overrated it was never too bad. However, i was recently there for a society event as they advertise themselves as a student venue and mainly target the student sector and you can even find lots of different deals on food and drink for students (20% off for both is mentioned on their Offers section). I ordered a drink for which at first i wasn’t even noticed although there were 3 people behind the bar. Then i asked about food as I’d been eyeing the menu online which is expensive but with the student discount goes down to a decent amount and seems alright. It seemed like they weren’t serving food anywhere else other than the ground floor but my event was upstairs so i asked if i could eat and in the end they gave me some menus which was nice. They took the order quickly but before they did i double-checked when the student discount would be applied. They said once they bring over the check they’d apply it but that we were with a society event so we would get one anyway. The food was alright but nothing crazy. Then i had to leave in a rush and asked one of my friends to pay for it and remind them of the student discount. When she went to the bar to pay (nobody worried about getting the payment so basically we could’ve left and save everyone the hassle) the guy didn’t know about it so he asked someone else and they said they didn’t do student discounts on food although it’s on the website. In the end she paid the full price for me and when she told me i was so confused so although I’ve never left a bad review i felt like i had to. Every time I’ve been here I’m so blown away by how pretty it is and overall enjoy the vibe but the drinks, food and service disappoint every time so won’t be back.

Popped in for lunch after a walk with the dog. The place was packed but I still felt really looked after by Anna and Ethan. I got the cajun fish brioche sandwich with scotch bonnet jam which was delicious and pleasantly tingly. Outstanding service, tasty food and a bustling atmosphere - you won't regret stopping by!
