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.

Love stopping by Irish pubs and this one doesn't disappoint! I got a wonderful Guinness where they printed on a picture on the head of the Guinness which was really cool. The pub is small and cosy and I will definitely be back!

Visited on a Friday night, good atmosphere, female solo singer was entertaining, beer decent too. I was with my son and daughter, whilst she was at the toilet my son thought it would be funny to fill her handbag with beermats which were square and...mainly black in colour. Daughter realised and lifted the beer mats out of her bag in one well swoop and left them on a shelf where we stood. What she didn't realise at the time was that her brand new passport was amongst the beer mats. Saturday afternoon in a blind panic retracing our steps from the night before we returned to the bar. To massive relief, Emily behind the bar had kept the passport safe after Jack had found the passport within the beer mats when he was tidying up. So to the owner " Not only do you have a good bar, you have trustworthy, reliable staff Emily and Jack who are canny people". My daughter flew to Poland yesterday so thank you Emily and JackMore

Was out for a walk around Kelvingrove Park and Dumbarton Road, then up Byers Road . Was a lovely sunny day and thought we would stop in at JintyMcgintys in Ashton Lane. Got our drinks and headed into the beer garden. Drinks were ok, if...a bit on the expensive side, the entertainment of mice was interesting. Left quickly.More

Good to see it back open again. Just the same as before really. Friendly bar staff and not as dear as the rest of Ashton Lane. Fairly weird having no cash machine, but no big deal. Fairly good Guinness as well.

Popped in here after Oran Mor, Play Pie Pint, for drinks. Cash only which was ok and bought bottle Sauvignon Blanc Marborough for decent price of £24.99, which is usually more expensive in other bars? Pub with wee "dookits" to sit in but we went...outside and sat on the benches, which is not the most comfortable, though there was more seating up the garden a bit but too slopey to get up. Great wee pub and glad went in, would go back again. Very friendly bar staff.More

Love coming here when on Ashton Lane! The place is always jam packed which just proves how popular it is! Drinks are reasonably price and the live bands are always great! Worth a visit if you like atmosphere and love music!

Amazing to find an Irish bar in Glasgow. We were there on a Sunday afternoon so it was a bit quiet. The staff were very friendly and great to talk to. Good selection of beers. It is located just down the street from the Wee...pub on Ashton Lane. There was a wedding reception taking place just across the street so we enjoyed listening to the bagpipes and seeing everyone in their kilts.More

Jinty McGuinty's is located a short walk along Aston Lane. This area has several bars including the Wee Pub. We were told about this place by a cousin who's band has performed in here. This is a really great bar and clearly very popular. The...staff here are very friendly and helpful. We asked about the range of beers and they gave us some recommendations and offered samples to try before you buy. We chose our drinks and managed to find seats. The walls are adorned with wooden panels containing pictures and verses from the great poets including Yates, Joyce, Shaw and Swift. There are also snugs in the downstairs bar area. As mentioned earlier they also have live music here in the evenings.More

That is disgraceful - If me, I would go in the afternoon and ask the manager for an explanation. Prehistoric doormen are not needed or wanted.
