Curlers Rest Reviews

We went there to have a good time in front of one (of) beers. They were of quality, despite a temperature a little warm for my taste. A very nice atmosphere, albeit a bit noisy (British mode). The other guests seemed to be enjoying their meals.

Good choice of wines and beers yet not the best value when it comes to price per pint in a student district. Attentive staff and the food is pretty good. The tables are well appointed (you can have a good conversation without having to shout over the music).The WiFi could be better.

Full and due to the fish on the menu the smell was a bit off putting

Good pub. Great selection of cask ales. No traditional beers like Tennents Lager or Belhaven Best. Which is disappointing. Expensive.

I didn't try food so I've opinion on that.

Great bar good choice of ales and friendly bar staff.well worth a visit

Curlers' Rest. One of the oldest bars on Byres Road, this pub does what it says on the tin. Staff are attentive and friendly and there is plenty of comfortable seating. Prices are reasonable. Use to be very much a students bar and still is to some extent given proximity to Glasgow University, but weekends see a very mixed clientele. Good food. Well worth a visit.

Nice pub serving good food. Has a decent range of real ales.

Went for Sunday Lunch. I know it has rave reviews but I would say just decent pub grub. The pork belly I had was not nice, skin soft and fat nasty and tasteless. But good veg well cooked and nice dessert. Wife had fish and chips and said good fish but poor batter. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Just don't expect too much

Very nice place, you can have a pint in pleasant surroundings and it's just a stone-throw from Hillhead Underground station.

Cozy, lovely food, friendly staff and reasonably priced

It's friendly, had a wonderful quiz night. Been here twice. And food and service is good.

I've only been here for drinks before, but was pleasantly surprised by the interior. I had expected it to be much smaller than it was, didn't realise there was an upstairs too. Drinks were fine, usual selection and reasonably priced. It is very popular and does get very busy at the weekend so means you could be waiting at the bar for a while. However apart from that no other complaints.

Awfull! Warm beer, filthy toilets and open drug taking throughout the bar and lounge area. Avoid this disgusting place.

Used to be really good... But after refit seems to have lost its atmosphere. A real shame

Great pub lots decent ales to drink also serves food clientele mostly students good vibe

Just a busy west end pub with all the trimmings with good atmosphere. Not unique, but fun.

Cosy and lively pub in the heart of the westend. Curlers is a bit of an institution but has grown up since its 'it's a scream' student days. Nice wine and beer selection.

Awful food. Almost inedible. We had to get Gregg's sausage rolls for the kids as the food was so bad.

Brilliant wee pub, good weekday deals and great selection of drinks

Nice relaxed friendly atmosphere, food on offer all day. A good selection of draft and bottled beers. Children welcome and so a couple of family groups among the clientele. Big and spacious, so never chaotic.

Convivial atmosphere with expensive but interesting cocktails!

Good reception, pleasant waiters and friendly atmosphere.
Fast service,
I recommend this restaurant for who wants to eat in a place where the good mood reigns.

Physical distancing between tables on the upper floor was not sufficient

Great lunch sandwich and a pint at a great price. Nice and quiet atmosphere during daytime and with a nice buzz at night. Big selection of beer.

Plenty of staff on. Yet we stood waiting at the reception bit for quite some time. After that hurdle it was fine. But first impressions weren't great.

Visited here during Oxjam, some great local bands playing and raising money for a great charity!

On arrival we were met by a member of staff who showed us to our table. We were informed that it was table service. We ordered our drinks, food a few minutes later. The sausage and mash was very tasty 3 good sized pork and haggis sausages with a good helping of mash potato and gravy. The curlers burger was also fantastic. 2 flame grilled burgers with bacon and cheese with a side of fries and onion rings.

Afterwards we tried the sticky toffee pudding. One was with ice cream the other with custard. Have to say it was fantastic. I would come back to the curlers rest again and again.

Booked a table more than a week ago for 6pm for last night. When I and my three friends arrived we were told there was a 40 minute wait for food. We left feeling really let down.

I came here because it seems to have good reviews but my experience suggests they're undeserved.

It's a nice pub and the beers are good but the Sunday roast is decidedly under par.

Where to start? Despite being overcooked the vegetables and the meat were lukewarm. Portions are mean, Three small roasties, a few peas, some tired carrots and a couple of parsnips hidden under a few slices of dry overcooked beef is not worth 13 quid. The Yorkshire was reasonable but again insubstantial. I will likely need to pick up a sandwich from Sainsbury's on the way back.

I was on the verge of sending it back but I'm English and have yet to master the increasingly necessarybart of complaining.

Yet again I find myself wondering why anyone would over pay for a meal that would be cheaper and better from Weatherspoons. They usually have a better selection of well kept beers at keener prices too.

I meet up with friends here once a month. Have been a visitor to Curlers for more than 50 years and love it.

Nice revamp from years ago. Good service and better seating. Great location too.

Nice traditional public house with good choice of beers and drinks along with a good menu. Friendly staff as well. Would recommend this establishment.

Great cosy bar. Fantastic selection of craft beers and ales. Prices are a bit on the expensive side but the atmoshere makes up for it

Nice laid back pub with a good beer selection and friendly atmosphere.

Excellent, great staff & the beer selection is to. Just had a drink this but will be back to sample the food. Added bonus, dogs are allowed.

Too dark and the food is a bit poor for what you pay for it. I also personally am not keen on being served food on chopping boards. The tables also needed a good wipe down and the food when served is invariably cold.

Good food and friendly staff. Not personally a fan of the order at the bar and we will find you with the food method but it worked OK.

I like this pub. Good beer selection, good atmosphere and does pretty good food.

Great ambience, not over busy so able to get great seats. Food was good and staff friendly and efficient. Food just fine!

Nice pub! Lively, good atmosphere, beer, food and service. What more you need?

Good gin selection but the the back of the pub stinks

Great pub for watching the rugby and catching up with friends

Big modern place on Byres road large selection of good beers food menu classic pub grub,nice good portions the place in itself it s a large room so I wouldn't call it cosy but I definitely be back.

Lovely wee pub, decent prices and right next to Hillhead subway for any home student's that need the train home from partick

Very far interior. Eaten here previously/recently, however just a drink this time..

Busy Sunday afternoon. Food decent enough without being great. A few real ales on tap. Dog friendly. Staff welcoming. Handy for the subway. Regular haunt when in the West End these days.

A solid local pub with a good selection of cask ales as well as modern craft beer usually including some IPAs. It has a very cozy traditional atmosphere. The food is OK, but not something I get excited for.

Looked good, food looked good, unfortunately I wanted fish and chips and they had no battered fish

very nice pint and amazing atmosphere. especially at xmas

Good grub. Lentil and red pepper burger is worth a try

Reading through the reviews made me a bit unsure but im 5 mins in and most of the bad reviews ring true. The toilets are very smelly the beer selection is very poor! They mention in another comment you can have a pint of glasgows finest... what would that be cause there is no Tennants on tap and the beers on tap are over priced. Ill stay for a bit as im at a party then ill go back to a decent pub in glasgow town where they have a more varied selection and more reasonable prices and the toilets definitely cant be any worse!

Mac and cheese was excellent, and the service was quick.

Brilliant staff very helpful. A huge range of craft beers on tap. Very good food and decent prices. Always love visiting this place.

Very nice bar and restaurant area, very chilled out and a nice atmosphere.

Staff totally ignored me. I suspect because I'm over 60

Great to read so many positive reviews about The Curlers and so pleased that it s still thriving.

Used to be our local when we lived off the Byres Road. Whiled away many a happy hour there (before happy-hours were invented).

Will endeavour to get back there soon for a visit.

Traditional bar in the west end, good selection of beers and gin.

Good pub with a good range of beers. A bit pricey compared with other pubs nearby. A unique feature of this pub is a large range of board games that you can borrow.

Brilliant service by students. Affordable prices. Delicious food and deserts. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Nice modern pub. I never went in as it seems like an old men`s pub but I was surprised. Good place for small groups.

Great place , i love my french and spanish meetups.
