The staff are nice enough, prices are nice enough, and the decor is basic and nice. There's a wee outdoor smoking area where you can sit with drinks if the weather permits too. I've drank in here a few times and I've never been blown away, hence the 3 star review. I like it, but I don't love it. I am interested in trying the karaoke though, which is on Saturdays from 9-12 and Sundays from 7-12. Pop in then if you fancy a sing song!

The Auld Hoose is probably one of, if not Hamilton's most popular wedding/function venue, because of its huge function suite. I can't count the amount of functions, race nights, etc I've been to in here, and I've never had a bad night! The only reason I feel I can't give this place 5 stars is because I've never actually been in the pub section of the Auld Hoose, and the day I do, I'll be sure to update my review! The only reason I haven't drank in here is because it is definitely a regulars pub, with an age bracket of about 60-80. I might actually take my grandad for a drink in his local, he'd love that!

The hall itself is a good size, big enough for a small to medium sized wedding party and small enough to make everyone feel included. At both functions, the bar staff have taken drinks orders from the table, and put it on a tab so you can pay it off at the end of the night which is a great idea, but also dangerous as you can end up with a hefty bill at the end of the night! Drinks are not expensive, but they aren't the cheapest, which is understandable as they can charge a slightly higher price because of the functions. Nice hall for a party, available to hire out on request for a deposit when booking.

Another one of those restaurants that everyone seems to be talking about and I hate missing out on…read morethe fun, so was keen to try it ASAP. The location is an area of Glasgow I don't really venture, and I'm not sure how you'd get there without a car. We had friends visiting so took that as the perfect excuse to book in for their Tuesday night dinner where they also offer a 2-1-2 deal (2 courses for two people with a bottle of wine for £30). We were a little early for our booking but were seated quickly and had our pick of tables. The restaurant space isn't overly large and you get a great view of the head chef putting the finishing touches on the dishes at the pass right in front of you which certainly made it a little more interesting than a standard restaurant. We were going to get the 2-1-2 deal but none of us really fancied drinking that much, so we just went for the set menu instead (2 courses for £17 or 3 for £20). I had the scallop (£4 supplement) and the shellfish risotto for main. Menu descriptions are a little short but I'm pretty happy to be surprised. We were served a butternut squash velouté to start which was lovely, a nice little portion and topped with truffle oil. I loved my starter - a generous portion of scallops, beautiful presentation and that serious wow-factor taste that I always get so excited for. Main was a lovely shellfish risotto which was unlike any I've had before - it had a lovely, generous mix of seafood and was very rich. It did get a little overwhelming by the end but I really can't complain - it was a really high standard of food that really impressed me. We decided not to get dessert. While I wouldn't say portion sizes were huge, I was totally stuffed after two courses so we just got the bill. Our only issues on the night were the service which was a little slow and haphazard - it took a while for my friend to be able to order her wine, and it took a couple of goes to get the card machine to pay the bill. These little issues didn't affect the night though and the food was so impeccable that it's still a 5-star from me. I'd go back in a heartbeat as I enjoyed it so much. The bill worked out to be around £60 per couple with drinks etc which I thought was quite reasonable.

I had heard about this restaurant and in recently joining yelp I read some really positive reviews…read morewhich encouraged me to go. It didn't disappoint. Depending where you live its possibly not the easiest to get to as there is not a local subway, or train station handy. We had the car, however I think there is a local bus route that would stop near by. Plenty of on street parking which is free. On arrival the manager was busy on the phone, however he instantly acknowledged us and we were seated quickly. There was actually no one in for lunch the entire time we were there, surprisingly this did not effect the atmosphere. It was bright, with a relaxed vibe and chilled music on in the background (cant beat a bit of Paolo on a sat afternoon!) The manager was very attentive and knowledgable of all dishes on the menu. He discussed recently being on wine training, so when ordering my food I ask him to select one he felt suited the dishes. He proceeded to let me try 2 different whites, describing each. This was a nice experience, very personal, but not in an uncomfortable way (my knowledge of wine is limited to Asda 3 for £10, so I enjoyed it.) We opted for the set menu which was 2 courses - £17 or 3 courses - £20. I think this is definitely value for money as the food is of a high quality. To start I had Smoked ham hough sandwich with a waldorph salad. This was unusual, like a ham terrine, with bread in the middle and a very thin piece of pastry on the outside. The flavours worked really well together, and the crisp apple, walnut and blue cheese salad complemented the dish well. For main I had pork fillet with sweet potato, courgette, paprika and salami. I would never have thought to have all these flavours in one dish, but they were the perfect combo. There was a nice smoky hint from the paprika, however this wasn't overpowering. This was a good sized portion, the tiny sweet potato balls were light and perfectly cooked. In the middle of my main the manager asked if I wanted another glass of wine, however I was trying to be well behaved and refrain as I was heading into town for a wee shop. Through past experience wine+shopping = some questionable purchases!! However he must have seen it pained me to say no, so he brought me another glass of white which he felt would go with my pork dish, and this was on the house!!! So lovely. We had a really enjoyable afternoon at 111 Nico's. I can appreciate the manager may not have been as attentive if the restaurant was at full capacity, however he appeared to be very skilled and eager for the restaurant to do well. I do love the background to the restaurant too, and the training academy that offers so many people the opportunity to be learning new skills and produce food to a very high standard. I will definitely be back!

The Peacock & Ivy is a lovely bar situated on Peacock Cross, so it's aptly named. It used to be…read morecalled The Tap Room but changed quite a while ago now. It is great bar for food, cocktails and has live nights, karaoke and other entertainment throughout the week. They have freshened up the look of the bar and it looks and sounds more like a bar from the West End of Glasgow rather than in Hamilton West. It also has a side room with booths which is great for getting something to eat. I've also seen it reserved for private functions. I haven't tried the new menu yet but it looks good. My friend and I just went out for cocktails. I was unfortunately driving but the bar staff were very accommodating and made me virgin French Martinis and they were absolutely delicious. If you're ever out that way pop in and you'll see what a difference it is with the refurb and check out the live music as there is plenty of local talent.

It's just one very modestly proportioned room, and they don't serve food (except nibbles). It's a station boozer, but a good one. There are three guest ales on offer, plus the usual assortment of lagers and other drinks. Most local patrons will be sitting at the bar, chatting with the elderly owner. Since I wasn't a local and the Scottish accents at the bar were wee heavy, I chose to sit at one of the small tables and observe the conversation. The owner is friendly and forthcoming, the beers are well maintained. The decor won't win Platform 3 any design awards, but everything that you'll need is there, including WCs - accessible *directly* from the bar room. It's just that small a pub.
