I asked my niece why she shows this place for her 16th birthday, her response was that there was…read moresomething for everyone. She wasn't wrong, but like all pub grub chain menus it was vast and it looked a little ominous for my tastes. I ordered off the early evening menu which limited my choice, but I wasn't fussed. My wife's nachos arrived first, it was an impressive looking platter. Then the garlic bread arrived it was a pretty bland affair, but not burnt and actually quite tasty. My burger was brought and actually it was delightful, I'd added the cheese and bacon. The bacon was crisp as was the accompanying veg. So much so, I ordered a brownie and ice cream. Now it's not going to win a Michelin star, but it's certainly better than some of the other chain pub grills I've been in recently. So while my average for such places would be three stars, this one isn't bad and rockets to the heady heights of a four.

You cannot beat the Beefeater for burgers. You can't. It's a fact…read more I come here at least a couple of times a month and take advantage of their Beefeater Rewards Card which allows points to be saved and exchanged for money off vouchers or special offers. All good value. The food here is of a very high standard. Yes, it's a Beefeater so the menu is limited in the sense that there'll be a lot of red meat but there are still some fish, chicken, pasta and salad dishes too. The focus is on steak and burgers and so it should be as they do it very well. The restaurant is part of a hotel/pub/restaurant complex with a Premier Inn (in Newton Mearns?!?) so the clientele is varied between the traveler and the local and there appear to be a lot of regulars from the local area (always a good sign). Here are some points of interest: 1 - Hobgoblin on draught at the bar 2 - Bottomless fries 3 - This was the last Beefeater to be given an individual name.

I first heard about it as my boyfriend recalled being taken here as a youngster by his mum for a cup of tea after visits to the orthodontists next door. The food is lovely and it is all reasonably priced - from sandwiches to heftier meals. They do a pre-theatre menu of 2 courses for £9.95 which is excellent value because the food here is good quality and genuinely nice. The bar in the middle also ensures a pleasant atmosphere.

With a lovely outdoor seating area, as soon as any sunshine hits Glasgow you can be sure that this…read morepub will be packed with people. This pub is also a hotel with 8 rooms and was where my parents stayed when they visited Glasgow recently. I checked out their room when they arrived and was really impressed - clean, slick and modern. A double room is £80 a night and includes breakfast. We ate in the hotel restaurant on a Sunday evening and got a booking for a table pretty easily - mind you, there was a football match on so take that into account if you are going to book ahead as the bar and restaurant were packed with people. We had a booth table booked for us and the staff even offered to move us to a quieter space if the football got too rowdy which I thought was nice. They have a private dining area at the front of the hotel which I think they only use for breakfast for the hotel guests. I wasn't overly hungry as we'd had a big lunch, so I ordered two starters - one from the pre-theatre (house) menu and one from the a la carte. I wasn't sure whether this would be an issue but the staff weren't phased at all. I got a bowl of Cullen skink and garlic mushrooms in a filo pastry basket. The wait wasn't long and I was impressed with the presentation of both the dishes. The portion sizes were really generous and I really couldn't fault either of the dishes - the mushrooms were lovely and creamy, and the soup had just the right amount of flavour and wasn't too hot. The food is really decent pub food, and for that I really recommend this place. The prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere was totally buzzing while we were there. I always forget to go here when we're looking for a local meal, but I'll try harder to remember what a wee gem the OP is in future.

What always amuses me about this relatively trendy bar is the demographic of the patrons. We were…read morethe youngest of quite a number of customers in there, and we're in our forties! Perhaps it says more about the Newlands area on a Sunday lunchtime than the bar, because the bar should be popular with a younger crowd. The real ale selection is good, the decor is good, it could be more comfortable perhaps with a couple more sofas, but it is comfortable enough. The food, well it's comfortable too, not challenging, but very decent value and difficult to not like. I went for the 10 chicken wings (you can order 50!) with red hot sauce for the starter, and the "go large" cumberland sausage and seasoned mash, peas and onion gravy for my lunch main. The shock was that the chicken wings had a genuine kick, not what I'm used to in this pub, and that though they were small 10 was a large starter, 50 for £10.99 would be a pretty large meal. At this point I was thinking about giving a four. Then the main came, and it was okay. The mash was typically a bit safe and the sausage too. It was fine but lacking spice and herbs, so back to a three. I think they know their clientele, but I like a more intense flavour.

I don't know what happened to Clark & Sons, it seemed to close pretty quickly and then stayed closed while it got refitted to become part of the Belhaven group of pubs. On first impressions, I like what they've done with the decor and layout. There's still a separate bar area from the restaurant, and the dining spaces are more split up now so it doesn't feel like a huge big dining area. There's some nice chandeliers and decor on the walls which shows they've put quite a bit of effort into it. That's until you get to the menu. I'm not even sure it rates as standard pub grub - it is pretty uninspiring with options like buckets of wings, 13 different burger options (yes, 13) as well as standard mains and steaks. You can order certain mains at £10.99 for two, or they have two rump steaks and a bottle of wine for £19.99. I opted for a sirloin steak with garlic mushrooms (£12.70 all up). You need to order at the bar but they do have table service if you go to the bar to order drinks (which makes me wonder why they can't just do table service). I felt like we waited ages for our food, but there was a group of 6 of us and it was relatively busy for a Monday. It was probably at least a 30 minute wait, if not 45 minutes. My steak arrived with chips, tomato, peas and mushrooms but without the garlic mushrooms I'd ordered. They came separately in a bucket and were breaded, certainly not the garlic mushroom sauce I'd expected but the menu is pretty vague on that point. The chips were soft and mushy and bland and needed lots of seasoning. We were sharing a portion of onion rings which were also soft and bland. My steak was overcooked (I'd ordered medium rare, it was well done) and again - bland. I slathered on seasoning and sauce and got through it - the cut of steak was fine but I really don't enjoy my meat that well cooked! This pub is very family friendly. We were seated in an area with lots of kids, where the parents were letting them run around the restaurant and our table. There's loads of seating though so perhaps they could have a separate family-friendly area. There's a good selection of beers including Anchor Steam, Brooklyn Lager, Sam Adams, Twisted Thistle, BrewDog, Williams Bros and West. I really couldn't see that I'll return for the food, but I'd head back for a drink in the bar area.

It saddens me to downgrade a crap review to be even crappier. But I just don't like this place…read more I stand by every word of my previous review but thought I'd add the following.. It's good that Clarkson actually has a bar. It's good that it's really busy. It's good that it attracts a pretty diverse mix of customers. The nachos were great. The toilets are huge, and clean. It's clearly trying to be a sports bar, but designed around a living room. I don't like the lamps hanging from the ceiling, rather than standing up on the floor, or the doors embedded horizontally in the wall - anyone have a sledgehammer handy? The volume on the multitude of tv's was muted when we arrived. As soon as the football went on, it was blaring. You can't look anywhere without seeing a tv here. The beer has been hiked up in price almost a fiver for a point of St Mungo or a bottle of Punk IPA. I can't wait to not go back. Overlee, you are now a last resort. :(

When the matter was brought to the attention of the acting management I was informed that the complaint would "be brought to the attention of Upstairs management".
