Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Bought 3 suits in the last week from Slaters in Ayr, suits are of an amazing quality and great value for your money. I had the best help ever from Scott, he works the floor. This man went above and beyond for us nothing was a bother. He is an asset to the company. Proper gentleman. Won't go anywhere else for a suit now.

    Always a super way to do some Christmas shopping and I’m looking forward to going to the next one in November 2021. I’ve picked up some fantastic unique gifts here for the last few years, always different makers/artists of a consistently high standard in attendance.

    I enjoyed a lovely lunch in this hidden tearoom behind the bizz of Finnieston. Sandwiches were tasty, cakes were scrumptious and coffee perfect. My only criticism is that service was slow and could be improved. The lane contains lots of other interesting units worthy of a browse.

    Wonderful to find a shop in Glasgow that still supplies fine Scottish knitwear and insist on a policy of made in Scotland for the majority of its stock. The staff were very warm and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit.

    When we last visited (3 years ago), we felt that the Christmas shop had a much more extensive range of items whereas this year, it was not that good. However, we did have look around on other floors though nothing caught our eye.

    Such a cool place, a real creative hub. I love to lounge there with a coffee and my notebook, and the exhibits are regularly refreshed.

    Very nice, large and nicely done out interior which belies its squat sturdy exterior appearance. Was quiet on a midweek lunchtime visit though there are Xmas fairs on weekends.

    Love this wee treasure trove. Always something new to see. I love the candles and great Glasgow and/or southside goodies. This visit I bought 2 tin candles? A calm roller and powder face mask (this was great). Staff are so nice and friendly too

    Serious issues with the cafe, not sure if there is a supervisor there or the staff just run themselves, they certainly need some training in manners they are very rude, I will not go back there again for coffee, which was not very nice

    Fantastic service! Ordered a large selection of cigars online for my wedding. Slight hiccup on delivery, couriers end but was informed and dealt with in a class manor. Special shoutout to Adam who was absolutely brilliant. Dealt with it perfectly. Couldn’t ask for better service. Will pop into the Glasgow store when I’m next up there for work. Thank you.

    A curiously brilliant experience. I was warned, beforehand, that the bookshop was run by "two grumpy old men and one fat cat". The owners were, in fact, perfectly nice, even though we didn't interact much. The cat was present (note to people with allergies).

    The books were mainly stacked in piles on the floor: towers and pillars and hillocks of vaguely thematically linked titles (e.g. one turret for fiction, another for history, classics...).

    On first visit, I was convinced I wouldn't be able to find anything of interest, let alone those few particular titles I'd been hoping for. Still, quite keen on digging out something, at least, I decided to allocate the place an hour or two of my schedule on the second visit.

    Lo and behold! - not even 10 min in, I'm spotting book after book after book on my wishlist! I had to stop browsing after the first three smaller bookpiles, because the shelf space back home was limited.

    In the end, I left with 5 books for under 8 pounds - one very happy bookish squirrel, stacking up for the upcoming winter.

    Great experience! Would highly recommend "Voltaire & Rousseau" to book aficionados willing to brave a potential avalanche. ;)

    I recently visited glasgow and just had to stop by, there is so much figurines to offer, varying from affordable to more expensive prize figurines. They sell plushies, backpacks, some cosplays, manga and more, I wouldn't be able to list everything.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy anything as I was already short for my trip, but the prices were also very reasonable with only a slight upmarket compared to the original japanese pricing which is really impressive.

    Staff attentive and friendly, but not overbearing.

    It is the best anime store I have visited in the UK as of yet.

    As the store was participating in Record Store Day I visited it in attempt to secure a few limited releases
    From a list of five I managed to purchase four Which was more than I had expected, but the staff also advised that I should call back midweek and they could possibly reorder the one that I had failed to find.
    I'm very pleased to share that I did, and they did.
    This is the first year that I have managed to cover everything that I wanted and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending that music lovers visit the shop if they are in Glasgow.
