  “As an Englishman , walking into a pub in Scotland can come with mixed experiences. As soon as you open your mouth you are “ outed “ . In this bar which was recommended by a you tuber “ Gary eats “ it wasn’t a problem, in fact people spoke to me with curiosity. They never asked directly but wondered what I was doing there . I explained I was there for the £7 three course meal . In 2026 this is 1980 prices 🏋️. A soup a main meal and dessert . So I was in Glasgow on a day trip and this was lunch . I have to say , what I received was like it was made in somebody’s house ! Basic but very tasty . I got veg and lentil soup with barley for starters , then mince with tatties and beans which was a substantial amount as well ! Then fruit cocktail with ice cream . Wow ! I was fed for the day for the price of a Big Mac . So I highly recommend trying the star bar for yourselves because the food the prices and the community ambience in the pub is like re-visiting a time when pubs were the hub of the community. Thanks for having me star bar !”

  “Come for the prices. Stay for the punters. This place is a Glasgow institution. If you want an authentic Glaswegian experience come on down!”

  “Went in on a Thursday afternoon while my daughter and wife got nails done across the road. Handful of people in. I expected Royal Ascot horse racing to be on TV as nearly every typical pub in Glasgow would but it wasn't. Asked if it could be changed, was told yes and remarkably it stayed on a garbage 80s music TV channel. Maybe at 44 years old I'm out of touch but I left and went to Brazen Head 5 mins walk away to find approx 40 people drinking and watching racing. Maybe I'm not out of touch. You'll probably be shut soon. Think about it”

  “Dropped in for lunch today, welcomed by a lovely lady and the banter inside was brilliant, such a good vibe. Had the three course lunch for £7, amazing value, Soup was homemade and off the scale, could've had another bowl. Scotch pie chips and beans with gravy was perfect, chips were super crispy and fluffy inside. Had the hot rice pudding with fruit. This place is a Glasgow institution and I will definitely return. Loved the place”

  “I visited a couple of years back while working away , great food, great value and friendly staff. I’m posting after watching Gary Eats when he visited to do a review in his YouTube channel as I have shown on the photo hear. This place is pretty unique nowadays so please visit when you’re in the area.”
