About Wintersgills Glasgow

Wintersgills Glasgow is a traditional pub in Glasgow's West End, at 226 Great Western Rd. The food menu is built around Tuk In Curry Naans, with freshly cooked pizzas alongside them. Beers are served on tap from the main bar, and a separate lounge gives the pub a second room. Football and other matches are shown on TV through Sky Sports and TNT Sports. A pool table and darts give visitors something to play between rounds. Students can use a 20% discount. A private room is available for functions, which suits groups planning a gathering.

Customer Review Summary

Friendly bar staff are the thread running through most reviews. Diners call them polite, outgoing and helpful, and several say they are a reason they keep coming back. Prices come close behind, described as reasonable and decent, with student discounts and a Tennents can singled out as good value. Reviewers describe an old school, cosy pub with a main bar, a lounge, a private room, a pool table and football on the screens. One group of soccer players makes it their regular Wednesday spot. Food draws mixed comment. One diner praised the crispy batter on the fish and halloumi and the sticky chicken fillets with their tangy taste, but found the Mac Cheese insipid and lacking in texture. Another reviewer assumed the pub does not serve food. One reviewer notes it can be very noisy with a largely male clientele. Another says the bar staff went above and beyond when their group held an American Thanksgiving potluck in one of the pub's spaces.

    “I honestly can’t say enough good things about Wintergills — it is hands down the best pub in Glasgow. From the atmosphere to the people, everything about it is just spot on. It’s such a warm, welcoming, and accepting place, and you always feel comfortable the second you walk in. A special shoutout has to go to Kathleen, who is an absolute gem behind the bar. She’s always so friendly, kind, and genuinely lovely to us every single time we’re in. She makes such an effort with everyone and really adds to the whole experience — she’s honestly one of the main reasons we keep coming back! The pub itself has everything you could want: the best pool table, great student discounts, and such a fun vibe — especially on Wednesdays when I’m there with my soccer girls. It’s become our favourite midweek spot and we always have the best time. If you’re in Glasgow and looking for a pub with amazing staff, great energy, and a proper community feel, this is the place. Absolutely love it!”
