We were in this Glasgow bar for the first time on Saturday night and had heard from various reviews that it is a great place to go, and they were certainly right! The bar attracts an older crowd, mainly 30's upwards and it reasonably trendy - not somewhere to go in casual jeans. Great cocktail list (though this causes a... More

Went to the Blue Dog on a Saturday night out in Glasgow with my boyfriend and a friend. Although a lovely atmosphere for couples, I'd also recommend the bar for groups of friends. The cocktail list has lots to choose from and we loved sitting trying to pick what to try! Although perhaps a longer wait and the bar, staff... More

I have visited the Blue Dog before and have always meant to return so when passing this week my partner & I took the opportunity to go in for a quick drink. It was busy but not overly crowded and we had no problem getting served at the bar. It is a small venue but could definitely be doing with... More

I have been to Blue Dog on many occasions however most recently in February 2012. We went on a Thursday night which was better than when I have been there at the weekend as it means you get a seat. Cocktails are great, similar prices to anywhere I would say. I visited with my partner, my parents and my 21... More

Cocktails were competently made but the person behind the bar made the wrong one for my friend. When we pointed this out he was rude, cocky and certainty not about to accept he'd made a mistake. Sticky tables too. More

Had two cracking evenings in this bar recently...great atmosphere, great cocktails (if a little pricey) and a great friendly crowd. The guy that does the card tricks is top notch and the piano players were very entertaining. One thing i do want to know is who the hell is the guy in the kilt that sits beside the piano player...

I'm not sure the other reviewers went to the same bar! This bar was great, had a house magician (Terry) who was really good going round the room doing shows (not requesting payment but we tipped him anyway he was so good) and proper cocktail waiters and waitresses. Top this off with a really good jazz band playing and other... More

Bar staff are obnoxious and have no training in customer relations. Long wait to get served (20 minutes), staff were clueless or didn't care who had been waiting longest. Put the long-awaited drink on a table to put my purse away and the drink was gone - cleared up by the same bar staff who chose to ignore me at... More
