END.
Great BBQ and onion loaf and good cheer. Ate and had a few pints here in the early nineties as NWA captain. Carried their discount card for years as our crews frequented this pub.
I loved this place, great ambiance, great food, great times. The cocktails and pictures of beer with mates were awesome. Jealous that the Germans can still enjoy Chicago Meatpackers. Come back….Glasgow loved you.
Totally agree! I loved the place and the food was fantastic.
A sad loss to Glasgow.
Please tell why it closed loved the place we can still have one in Glasgow fed up with burgers restaurants, meat packers was our son’s first experience of ribs plus he loved the train track and my husband enjoyed the pitcher’s of beer
Worked there with my friends Lainey and peigi , great place to work, great tips and fun times. Stunk of bbq sauce though .
Great place to work loved the Christmas party’s and the train going around
Did it have some kind of train thing that went round?!
Yes it did lol
What a restaurant this was, can remember so many huge family get together… train going around the ceiling was definitely a thing. Please come back Chicago meat packers…. The best baby back ribs I’ve ever had!
I’m looking for any old ex work mates who worked there in the early 90s American Alan wee chazz Paul John my name’s jamie btw
I remember the train that went round the ceiling
This was the precise location of a very prestigious restaurant located below, and actually part of, the Central Hotel. Until recently (but maybe still) you could see the top of the stairs in the Central Hotel that led down o the restaurant. The name escapes me, but will come back to me later.
i still have a menu holder removed from the pub. lol
Would love to catch up with any for ex work mates who worked in Glasgow Chicago meatpackers
Used to like the pinball machine they had. Great atmosphere, good memories.
What year did it close?
Great place we used to eat at when up from Ayr . Tasty ribs and chilled glasses out of a freezer to drink from . Funny how you remember silly little things .
My first YTS Wonder what ever became of those that use to work there Stuart the waiter/barman and John,Paul Alan
My studio from Worcestershire did all the stained glass there. What an exciting time it was.
