The last time I went into this pub I waited 10 minutes to be served, the barman in charge at the time was drinking behind the bar. I wasn’t the only one who walked out as a result of bad manners and bad service. This is probably one of the worst pubs I have been in. Service terrible.

The Glaswegian has now closed down. The pub lost it’s licence. It’s about time as this pub was really badly run.
