| Good pint of Harviestoun American IPA yesterday- a hoppy 5%- though I was surprised to be given a dimpled mug. It was also quite expensive, but I like the look of the new place. A bit gastro-ey but an improvement on the old student shop. jagsfan - 20 Jun 2011 12:41 |
| It is disappointing to think that drinkers might be prevented from visiting this fine pub because of the plethora of negative reviews. The bouncers mentioned by pomona are a licensing requirement because of the bad reputation which the pub previously had. However, the owners could perhaps do more to make the pub seem more welcoming from the outside because we very nearly didn't go in. What a treat we would have missed! The new owners have clearly spent a considerable sum developing the pub in to a fine traditional but gastro venue. 5 real ales all with pumps containing descriptions of the beer on a luggage label tied to each. The barman was on hand to answer any further questions and when one beer ran out halfway through pouring he generously gave it me at no extra cost. The food looked lovely. Upstairs there are wooden banqueting tables and the kitchen; downstairs tables and chairs. The pub has its own newsletter advertising regular events. The pub was lit by candles with real fires and the mood was friendly and relaxed. I got the impression that outsiders and locals would be welcomed with an equal enthusiasm. a1ex_e1 - 27 Mar 2011 09:50 |
| 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. pomona - 3 Jan 2011 21:53 |
| 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. McIntosh - 17 Nov 2010 23:54 |
