This is such an amazing hideout in the middle of Glasgow.The Staff, Alan, Ellie, Reece, Duncan and company are very welcoming and know their craft.This is not a pub per se (as you have to be a member), however if what you want is an amazing place to have a deep conversation on a payday friday... this is your place!

My first time at smws and it didn't disappoint. We were looked after by the most fantastic member of staff called Reyce. His knowledge was outstanding and he certainly is a credit to the company. Great day thank you.

Beautiful place. Membership needed or to be a guest of a member. Nice different sections of seating for different vibes.

Came here for the first time because my friend had a voucher for a whisky tasting. A couple of wee hitches on our side but we're quickly sorted by the staff! Amazing team there, friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. I've had a membership for a wee while but it was the first time actually going, regretting not going sooner now! Will definitely be back. The decor is amazing and the place clean and tidy. When I think about a great place to drink whisky, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Glasgow ticks all the boxes. Might have to get along to the Edinburgh ones and see how they match up.

Brilliant visit this evening - dinner and ambiance were first rate but it was the patient and attentive service we got from Tim that was the true highlight of the evening. He took time to discuss our preferences in whisky and help guide us towards the right drams a Glen Garioch 19yo and a Blair Athol 15yo - these went down a treat and were reasonably priced. Looking forward to a return visit the next time we're in Glasgow.

The SMWS bar … what else is there to say? Many unique choices by the dram, as well as other spirits and food if you are so inclined. I’ll take my cold barley soup thank you!

Wonderful bar with a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always very welcoming and knowledgeable on whisky - staff members Tim and Chris gave us some great recommendations. We also saw them deal very well with a group of 12 people last night who didn’t have enough memberships and then became very rude and aggressive with the staff. A lot of bad reviews seem to be because guests turn up without memberships and expect to be allowed in with no questions asked - it is called a “members bar” surely it’s pretty obvious that you need a membership! Takes a few seconds to check this on the website. Would highly recommend.

An oasis in the middle of Glasgow. If you didn't know where it was you'd walk straight past. A very cosy yet spacious bar / restaurant with really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Either pick a whisky from the magazines on the table, or tell the staff what your taste is and see what is delivered, you won't be disappointed! Hundreds of different whiskies to choose from.Had dinner there too and the food was spectacular. Started with the smoked salmon mousse and whisky smoked salmon slices. Easily the best smoked salmon I've had in years. The ox cheek bourguignon was spectacular. Unbelievably tender meet, creamy mash potato and perfectly balanced flavours.
