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.

Only couple in the dinning section but it was a Monday. Was shown to our table and guy said he'd be back to take our order for drinks and food, don't know if he had finished his shift or not as never seen him again,...waited nearly 10 mins and had to go to bar to order drinks ourselves, waited another 5 mins and had to catch the attention of a girl to take our food order she was very pleasant and chatty and to be fair so we're the rest of the staff. Food was nice. I would go back again but probably on a different day just for the atmospheric feel.More

Visited this place off the back of a recommendation and i’m now a massive fan! This was by far the highlight of the night (apart from The Chemical Brothers obviously), owing it’s success to the food in particular. First and foremost, especially on a Thursday...- Sunday evening, book a table via the website, like I did. It was heaving from 5pm onwards and didn’t really quieten down. Very much a Sports Bar, it had an array of Darts Ocheys, many television screens showing various Football games and it was spread over the space of two floors. If I remember right, it was Dog friendly as well. The selection on the menu was decent but I was always swaying towards a Burger of some sort. In the end, I opted for the Smokehouse Burger with a side of Dill Pickle & Jalapeño Slaw. Everything was spot on and the Fries, in particular, were top level! The Cold Town Lager, at only £4.20 a pint, was the perfect accompaniment. Although not advertised, our meal even fell under a Thursday night deal, so the bill was a lovely surprise as well. The staff were great, the seats were bang in the middle of prime Football viewing and the atmosphere was lively, but not hectic. No faults from me and I’m already planning another visit for my next gig. Premier League eating out in Glasgow!More

Food was quite good, tasty however slightly overpriced. Good selection of beverages, again slightly overpriced. Staff let this place down, staff members could do with going on a customer service course. Members of staff were quite rude and blunt.More

We came here for a couple of drinks on a Friday night. Bar staff were welcoming, and the general atmosphere was good. Good selection of beers on tap and prices average for the area.

Staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. I never caught staff members name but he kindly helped me with my buggy and offered a high chair for my baby so thank you. Small gestures go along way as i had just been told i was not...allowed to enter Walkabout with my pram. The venue is very clean with good facilites. I had fish tacos and they were really good and will definetly be back. Only critism would be the prices as i feel £20 is quite expensive for a burger.More

Yesterday my wife and I along with friends attended this pub for dinner. It was very busy with clients watching the football. Staff were attentive and the menu was your typical easy to make Burgers, Taco's etc We opted for some sharers to start, Bang...Bang Chicken which certainly had a bang to it! Halloumi Fries and Haggis and Black Pudding Fritters. For mains we opted for the Bacon Cheeseburger and the Virginia Burgers all came well presented and tasty. Worth a visit if you just want a plain meal with taste but affordable.More
