You know what? For a Wetherspoons in Cambuslang, this is a pretty damn good pub. I was here on a…read moreFriday night for a friend's birthday and the place was busy. We were seated up the top in the dining area and the place is an amazing restoration from the former cinema built in the 20s. It's got glamour and style, and I love how they've kept some of the seating area at the top - although the creepy mannequins are super... creepy. The only issue with this place is that its order at the bar (expect to be around 10 minutes) and the food menu is ridiculous. There was so many dishes to choose from (over 30, by my guess) that it took me ages to decide what to have. I ended up going for macaroni cheese with extra cheese (hey, it was an option). The food arrived to our table pretty quickly and actually, I really liked the macaroni cheese. It was obviously insanely cheesy but also had a nice crumb of cripsy breadcrumbs on top. Generous size and super cheap at around £5. While I can't imagine going out of my way to go here, it was a great place to spend a while for a birthday night out so if I was in Cambuslang again, I might make my way back.

First of all I need to give some background as context to this review. I lived most of my life in…read morethe west of they city where local bars are in abundance and there are literally tonnes of places I would go for a pint. A few years back we moved to Cambuslang and there was literally no where in the area that I would go for a pint without fearing for my life. This meant the news of a Weatherspoon's opening on Main Street certainly gave cause for interest. Again more context is needed as I am not a fan of the brand and therefore I was ready to hate the place from the moment I walked through the door. The interior is huge and has been done up nicely. They have left a lot of the old touches from the bingo hall that was open here many years back. I like that they have not ripped all the old history out. The beer range is amazing and cheap. Literally the cheapest I can think of in Glasgow. £1.70 for a pint of craft IPA is unheard of these days. They also do food, but I am not sure I would eat here, it's more a bar in my mind. That said I had some onion rings last night and they tasted fine. If this bar had set up in other parts of Glasgow this review would be different I think, but in Cambuslang for me this is the best thing to happen since I got here 5 years ago. It's a shame they don't play music, but you can't have everything I guess. If your a lost tourist, this place is safe to stop for a pint. If your a local not from the area originally and without a "local" bar you should give it a try. If you have lived in Cambuslang all your like and usually stick to your normal bars you should still also check it out. I reckon you will be surprised at the range and value for money.

It's cozy, crowded, and buzzing with life -- often standing room only and packed shoulder-to-shoulder with locals and travelers alike. If you're a whisky fan (or even just whisky-curious), do yourself a favor and try one of their Scotland whisky flights. It's like taking a mini tour of the country's whisky regions without ever leaving your barstool -- and without worrying about driving. The bartenders really know their stuff and are happy to guide you toward something you'll love. A quick heads-up: no football colors allowed, which keeps the atmosphere friendly and relaxed no matter who you support. And speaking of friendly -- the locals here are as welcoming as they come. This is exactly the kind of place where Scotland's famous pub culture shines. Prices are surprisingly reasonable too, so you can sample a few drams without feeling guilty. Whether you're a seasoned whisky nerd or just looking to experience the local vibe, this is the spot. Pull up a stool (if you can find one) and enjoy a proper Scottish night out

This may prompt you to feel like ordering a drink. You are in good hands and they can totally recommend something that you may like. Their selection is so huge they don't have a menu, you just have to ask for your label or take their recommendations. Naturally, most of the selection is Scottish whiskey, but if you somehow prefer otherwise, (say you are a local tired of Scotch... or just want to reaffirm nothing beats a Scotch?) they do offer whiskey from other countries, as well as beer and ciders, as well as gin, rum and the like. They do offer pies and other bar food, but we went after dinner and just couldn't stomach more food, tempting as they may sound.

The night itself wasn't organised by the bar but someone outwith who hosts a regular music showcase. The evening felt very uorganised, and although, little of this is down to Sweeney's, the staff were of little help. We arrived early. The decor is eclectic, the pub definitely has a personal touch. I really liked the musical and instrument motifs by the stage area. There's also some quirky signs by the bar. Although, it did all a bit funky and mismatched to me. When we walked in, instruments in hand, we made our way from one half of the bar to the other; one which has the stage. Although the bar staff in the first room had explained we'd to head through to the second, nobody welcomed us or explained what would be happening when we got there. Other than a heckle from some folks at a table and a 'What will you be playing for us?!', we were left to it. We took a seat and, noticing no other instrument-in-hand folks, wandered exactly what the plan was. So we ordered drinks, and then I introduced myself and the band. At this point, more musicians were in the bar. Phew! The barman explained that the person who runs the night was running late. Understandably not their fault, what could they do? But then time went on and on. And there was no update from the bar. We just waited and waited. We'd presumed we were first since it had been listed that way without a mention of running times but after waiting till after the night should have begun (when the organiser finally arrived), we found out we were second. By this point, we just wanted to play; play and go home. In addition, the monitor mix wasn't great and the organiser had mistakenly thought there was two of us, so Sweeney's only paid two of us for performing. The general feeling was that there's venues out there doing amazing things for local music. The best and memorable gigs for us have had great hosts behind them. We just didn't feel this way about Sweeney's, and that's a pity.
