Oran Mor Review

Great venue to see live music. Saw Josh Ritter and greatly enjoyed. A commendation to the very friendly and helpful bouncers who showed us where to go.

If you are looking for a friendly and welcoming venue for great music/drinks look no further!

Lovely venue - very beautiful inside and great wine!

A PUB in a church ..... . Exceptional must see ....

Fantastic, out with the Old in with the New

Great to see such a building used for something more constructive, "a pub".

We love seeing historic buildings being used for better social gatherings and entertainment.

The place is likely, friendly and really social.
We love it.

Recommendation
Fully recommended and please convert the rest of these buildings into something more useful.

Amazing bar, incredible decor, friendly staff. Recommended to all!

Saw The Trashcan Sinatras here and it's a cracking venue, plus nice friendly staff.

One of the very best bar restaurants in Glasgow. It's as simple as that! The design and decor is a must to see, the range of drinks is very impressive and the staff are excellent. Prices are average for Glasgows West End. WELL worth a visit!

The evening I arrived into Glasgow, I enjoyed a cider in the vast bar. It was a little drafty but I figured that this was the tradeoff for boozing in a centuries-old stone building with cool details. Lots of stained glass, central bar with carved wood, and little nooks and crannies for seating. Tons of artwork adorned the ceiling and walls. Oh, and my cider from Somerset was excellent. The following day, I took the group I was traveling with, to attend "A Play, a Pie, and Pint," which was a noontime performance of a play in their basement. Tickets were only $12. The play was a comedy called "Jocky Wilson Said," and featured a lot of bawdy humor, most of which my untrained American ears did not comprehend.

We loved the stained glass windows, and this is a rather lovely restaurant bar. The food was great as was the service, even the price was reasonable.

Great location. Good selection of food and drinks. Only the order of food should learn the operations yet. A starter is just no dessert ...

Nice and relaxed atmosphere and great staff and nice range of food and drinks

Brilliant pub, on old church which has been transformed into a quality bar and restaurant, great selection of beer and hundreds of whiskies to choose from

Epic gig venue. But also a fantastic spot to relax. Or drink. Good choice at the bar. Food is decent too. The haggis burger was pure filth, in a good way. Real comfort food.

A play, a pie and a pint is great! Good fun and good value

Good Xmas night out, food service bit slow but nice food.

Large pub with a feeling of a smaller pub with a more friendly atmosphere.

Nice original place, good atmosphere, it's really worth the detour. Food and drink for all tastes. We recommend +++

Had supper in the Conservatory which was great! Food good and staff fab.Good value. Then we saw Janey Godley in The Venue below..great show...but chairs hard and uncomfortable..and squashed together...no room to move...

Attended the venue offering A Play, a Pie and a Pint(or wine or soft drink). It was brilliant. Had coffee and bacon roll beforehand,as we had to wait and queue up in the bar to enter the small stageroom in the basement. It was really good and worth the wait(the play was very popular). Only draw back for me personally was the standing in a queue for a considerable peiod which was painful as I have a mobility problem.
Will certainly attend again but unwilling to stand and wait entry into the room where play was staged in order to gain a seat with a good view of the actors. I'll take my chances and wait seated upstairs in the cosy and atmospheric bar, until the play begins minutes before, to save the pain and unease of standing for a considerable time.

A cool looking pub that has a good selection of cocktails. And some cool decor. *You have to provide your contact info before being allowed in to the pub.

The Oran Mor is lovely, from the moment you step into the grand staircase with all the artwork you know it's going to be nice. The bar food menu is fab, lots of traditional Scottish dishes in a cosy relaxed environment; or if you fancy something a bit more upmarket their Brasserie can not be faulted and is a great place to take your parents for dinner when they visit!

1 star is too much. Walked in with my wife, past 2 girls working the entry till. No comment from either girl. Walked past assuming it was still free entry. Bouncer said go back and pay. We did. Still no response from the entry girls. We assumed some miscommunication between the staff. The big biggie looking bouncer sent us back to pay saying if we put money down money we the will take it. Didn't know this was how clubs operated, but anyway but down a twenty to which both of the staff looked at us like ' move on'. Biggie the bouncer gave it yaldi that wouldn't fly in any other respectable job. He insulted me, called him an insult back. Never tired so hard to pay to get into a club. Stereotypical bouncer mentality thinking his attitude would be respected anywhere outside his profession. Pleb. Moved on easily enough and wouldnt be attempting again.

Play, Pie & a pint. What more could you want. I was bowled over by the quality of 'The Greatest'. Such a funny production.

Love the pub, can be hard to find a seat when you go late but apart from that it's class

Love the atmosphere here, great place to chill and gave a beer.

A delight of art ask to go and visit the murals upstairs... Great beer and staff too

Well run bar restaurant and venue. Kerps its standards high.

Great bar, late opening and lots of choices for drinks

Great pub, sitting in a converted church, must see in Glasgow.

Place is beautifully decorated, but the smell when you walk in is enough to walk you back out.

Brilliant. I love it in here. Small, intimate space for gigs and beautiful bar and lounge upstairs...

A wonderful place. An old church turned pub. The service is very good, there is a variety of beers and it is tastefully decorated. In addition, they have a menu with many well presented Scottish dishes. It is famous for its haggis.

Lovely place , good atmosphere , staff could have a better behavior.

Great feel inside. Very good range of beers and spirits.

Building looked quite cool, price fir beer was nice and overall I had a good time

Frankie Miller's band playing there but unfortunately he has retired noe

Something of a West End institution. Amazing selection, amazing building, amazing decor.

One of the best places in the West end ...good mix of people and selection of drinks

Was at a wedding here and the venue was superb, Food was superb and the staff organising the change from wedding ceremony to the seating for the meal were on the ball. Thoroughly enjoyed my day. Would have gave it 5. But for the bar staff downstairs who never seemed to notice who was at the bar 1st and just served at random. Bar staff upstairs were hard working and efficient.

My partner was lije a kid in a sweet shop with the choices of quality whisky offered

Cool spot! Night club, pub and cocktail bar all in one!

Old church converted into Pub. Children are allowed to enter at certain times and in a specific part of the premises. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was good on New Year celebration but I would have liked more Scottish music and country dancing along with the pipes

A play, a pie and a pint. Great concept. Brilliant performance. A wee bit chaotic system with two queues - one for tickets while those who booked online were already queuing for seats in a Ryanairesque free-for-all. Book online and get into the seats queue early. And have a drink whilst you wait.

Amazing looking venue and friendly, professional staff. Couldn't ask for more!

I have such mixed opinions about the Oran Mor. I've had a work Christmas lunch here, which was excellent. The upstairs bar is stocked with just about every spirit you can think of, however it does get extremely busy, and this can be a problem when trying to order a drink. There is a fairly large outdoor seating area towards the front of the building, which come the sunny weather is always packed. I think my negative feelings towards it comes from going to the club nights, which end up being extremely expensive even for the West End. Good for casual drinks, but plenty of better places to go for a night out.

Came for a gig as part of Celtic Connections, busy place on a Saturday

Attended a Christmas party night which was excellent!!

Oran less? More like, oran more. The oran that just keeps on giving. I mean, jesus christ. Honest to God

Great food. Play pie and pint is well worth the money

Beautiful place to eat. Good was great but the pie isn't a proper pie its more of a stew

Great day again at play, pie and pint. We ended up staying for a few drinks after, as atmosphere was good and Oran Mor serve gluten free lager on draft, which is few and far between in Glasgow

Even during COVID (when they were allowed to open) they managed to keep it being cool.

Malt of the month. Play pie and pint. Late entry. Good times

Went to Oran Mor with my wife to see Aaron Watson and had an awesome time - relatively intimate venue and great gig that had the crowd jumping. Area in front of the stage was crowded but was a great atmosphere for a midweek show, would definitely come back

The worst pub I ve ever been to in Glasgow. Overcrowded to the point of it breaching health & safety regulations. Bar staff absolutely clueless about who to serve next, literally stood at the bar for 15 minutes waiting to be served. Ended up leaving & going elsewhere.

Great venue but main screen not so clear for sports

Been here a few time, for either a gig, lunch, dinner or just a few drinks. Service, prices and atmosphere were all fine. Food was decent. Unfortunately seeing some of the poor reviews is disheartening, but I've never personally had any issues.

Decided to have a trip to Byres road In Glasgow,our first stop was here which we really enjoyed good choice of drink and live music which was enjoyable to,it's located in an old church which I found out was built in 1862,we later came back and had something to eat,would highly recommend a visit here.

Great venue, just a bit cramped. Chairs are too close together, making it a bit uncomfortable

A play,a pie and a pint, really enjoyed the play, very funny, quiche and wine good too

Was at a wedding here and the venue was superb, Food was superb and the staff organising the change from wedding ceremony to the seating for the meal were on the ball. Thoroughly enjoyed my day. Would have gave it 5. But for the bar staff downstairs who never seemed to notice who was at the bar 1st and just served at random. Bar staff upstairs were hard working and efficient.

No fault for service and wine but nachos were a bit over done and portion control whilst ordering was a little bit miss leading..... One serving is much more than enough for two....
