Largeish well-kept corner pub with tables in the windows to watch the world go by. A good selection of ales, mostly but not all Scottish, and an impressive selection of pump clips on display behind the bar to confirm the quantity and variety of ales served in the past, including more from some breweries than I knew they brewed beers! Also an excellent range of foreign draught and bottled beers. A fine pint of Kilburn was enjoyed and then unfortunately had to be off to Central Station (via the Horseshoe) for the train home. Further visits to this fine pub are on the cards.Well kept beers, helpful staff and the food looked good. Tryst Brockville Dark - top notch. Splendid selection of continental beers - all round excellent pub.Went to this place when in glasgow for the Merchant City festival, after recommendations on this site.
Great selection of real ales from local(ish) breweries. I had ones from Kelburn and Inveralmond. Looks like they change beers regularly, always a good sign. All the beers i've tried in there have been in top condition, but one from the Kelham ISland brewery in Sheffield was underwhelming (not the pubs fault obviously).
Special mention to the bottled beers. Good range of Belgians but the best bit is the Americans. Seriously good beers here, like Yeti stout and Hercules IPA from Great Divide brewery. Also some Flying Dog ones. Off there soon to try the Hop Devil, hope they havent sold out! Up there with thhe Bon Accord for best pub in Glasgow.

First visit since Glasgow was the European City of Culture and the Bon Accord was one of a very few Glasgow pubs with real ale. Actually better now than I remembered it, with a very good choice of Scottish ales and my selection was in very good condition. Food looked good too. Not the warmest welcome of the day, but a decent atmosphere nevertheless. Well worth another visit.Probably the best real ale pub I found in glasgow. This may not be saying much, but rest assured this pub is excellent. Always seemed to be 8 real ales available, most of them from scottish brewers. I saw Brewdog's Riptide stout, which is extremely rare even in bottles. Also Brewdog's Hardcore IPA, which is possibly the best pint I've ever had. Great atmosphere too, top place all round.
Slightly strange pricing policy though. The two beers above were 3 quid a pint, great value for beers around the 8-9% range. However, all the other beers were the same price. Either you're being massively undercharged on the premium beers, or overcharged on the normal ones. Weirdly, i think it's actually the former.
Awesome range of whiskies too, have to admit i didnt try any of these though.
Solid 9 any day of the week.Went to this pub for the first time in about 8 months was was totally disappointed with the beer quality......Arran Blonde was very 'green', Caley 80' was awful. There was another Scottish brew I had that was 'green' too although the Deuchars was good.
A great shame as I love this pub and have never had anywhere near a bad pint before in dozens of visits......made a hastily retreat to 'The State' ......!

A first visit for me, and I was greeted with and exchanged a bit of banter with a couple of the locals which made me feel immediately welcome. As GBGatelad mentions below, the ales are dispensed by the traditional Scottish air pressure method which allows the customer to observe the whole pint-pulling process and appears to be becoming very rare indeed - more's the pity. My choice was not cheap but in excellent condition. A clean and tidy pub, friendly staff and the warmth of an open fire meant I was reluctant to leave, but the Blackfriars was calling..... The real ales are on Air pressure (which is probably getting rarer these days) and are very well kept. But the pricing seems over the top! Nice touch - the photo memorial to the late George Jackson of Ossian who was a regular here.
Always like going here. One of the few places with atmosphere even when quiet - best early on Sat. Sounds pricey now though!

Having read some of the reviews here, I approached the Curlers Rest with a certain amount of trepidation. When I arrived, there were bouncers on the door which is never a good sign.

Once inside, I found a distinctly pleasant ambience and was delighted to see beer given such prominence with an extensive list of bottled beer on the blackboard and an unusual selection of real ale at the handpumps, complete with tasting notes.

The barman was friendly and welcoming and seemed genuinely interested in what I thought of my ale choice. The prices were approaching London levels but were not exorbitant.

I wandered upstairs to check out the real fire. It had a restauanty feel due in part to the open kitchen.

I felt happier drinking downstairs where I read through the pub's newsletter. It looks like they're trying very hard to create something different for Glasgow and I wish them well in this venture.Used to be such a great pub 20 years ago, jazz upstairs - I saw Tommy Smith play there once. Now it's just a dive I'm afraid and if I'm in the area I'll go to Tennents or down towards Dumbarton Rd.What a great spot this was back in the early 90s that is !! right next to hillhead underground as well so a perfect location ,shame that its now a tacky,soulless dump .

During a very brief drinking session in the city centre we visited the Pot Still and it was by far the best pub of 3 that we found. (really hard to find pubs on spec). A couple of decent real ales that were well kept and a huge selection of malts, which according to my drinking buddy tasted excellent. (can't stand the stuff personally). Staff seemed good and attentive, the girl serving smiled, welcomed me and was polite. maybe the previous comment was acted on?? would go again but I don't tink I will be in Glasgow again for some time.This a very nice looking pub - both inside and out. The beers are well-kept. There's a massive whisky selection. Loos are pretty good. All-in-all a very good pub.

HOWEVER, the staff are the one thing that really let the place down as they are not particularly welcoming (at least the ones working the afternoon shift 2/10/10). Get off your mobile phones (two members of staff - one texting and one talking on their phone even though there was a queue at the bar), make an effort to welcome the customers upon their arrival with at least a smile and not just stand there looking completely gormless, stop having expletive-strewn conversations amongst yourselves whilst serving and remember that the customers are the ones that you should be focussing your attentions on!!

To the management: 'Ave a word!! You've got a very good pub there. Don't let your staff screw it up for you.The whisky is as extensive as ever, and the prices are still on the outrageous side. The beer last night was OK, but not as good as normal. Still, it was a quiet haven in a town otherwise mobbed by football-kit-wearing lads out to watch Scotland play Lichtenstein. A welcome oasis, as ever.

The Munn vault Pub is one of the best pubs you would ever enjoy a drink and entertainment in. There is always karoke on in a friday night and DJ on a saturday which is myself. There is never any hassle in this pub and entertainment on in a sunday aswell. The Pub has been taken over with new owners and very strict which they dont mess about with anyone causing hassle as they are barred instantly. The Pub is getting tarnished because of previous owners. This pub is well recommeneded and is alway busy on friday and saturday night. Please come along and see it at the weekend as you have football on during weekend with home and away fans in and night with varies ages coming into the pub from 50's to20's and I play all range of music in it to entertain the customers to there satisfaction. PLEASE ADVOID ALL BAD NEWS THAT BEEN SAID ABOUT IT. THANKS DJ STUART MCPHEEHope the pies compensated for the result. Bit of a mauling.
I was watching a couple play snooker last night in here and they were having the pies too.The bar can best be described as very down to earth - a real Glasgow affair - but the staff are friendly.

Have used this place when visiting Firhill to watch my team play Partick Thistle. The natives have always been friendly.

Last Saturday decided to make use of the lounge. As "away" fans we were unexpectedly treated to trays of (very) hot scotch pies which were provided gratis by the management who are evidently anxious to get "away" supporters in to drink copious amounts of alcohol, Nice touch - we weren't complaining!
