Quick info
About The Crafty Fox
On Bellshill Rd in Glasgow, The Crafty Fox is a pub that opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Mondays bring a quiz night, starting around 8:30 for a 9 o'clock kick-off, with the bar staying open until 11:45. The venue also hosts live music and karaoke nights on other evenings. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, and an outside seating area gives an option for eating and drinking off the main room. Dogs are welcome, though not permitted after 7pm, making earlier visits the practical window for those bringing one along. The space itself is small, which can make the music nights feel lively rather than quiet.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are the most repeated draw, described as welcoming, pleasant and wonderful, and one reviewer singles out a quiz master who banters with the whole room at the Monday quiz. Close behind is the entertainment. One reviewer enjoyed the karaoke and the new decor, while another found the live music loud to the point of distortion because the room is small and the entertainment sits right on top of the crowd. Others mention good drinks and a nice outside area that lacks sun in places, though one reviewer says the bar could not make a black russian despite having the ingredients. Complaints about rules and atmosphere also recur. One reviewer was told an empty table was reserved with no sign to say so, and another found the atmosphere weird and not very welcoming. One reviewer was told about a no dogs after 7pm rule only after buying a drink, adding that the dog was better behaved than half the clientele.
