My first visit to shawfield on Friday 22/11/19 in quite some time.We used to go quite regular many many moons ago.I would think this is the first time I have been back in about 8 years....oh how the mighty have fallen! No tote bar upstairs near finish line, no snack bar trackside,almost no dogs, and most worrying no crowd.Everyone is now housed upstairs in what used to be for functions,Xmas parties etc It looks lovely but is quite a bit disconnected from trackside and quite difficult to see the finish post.Its very nice inside, well maintained,heated and comfortable.Only one tote window (maybe it's never busy anymore?) and a bar.Hopefully you will get a few winners are the bar prices are STEEP, Wetherspoons it is not! Also a distinct lack of actual racing, only 8 races and all traps are not in use.One of our races only had 3 dogs running! Not sure how this place can survive, when we were there including our party of 4 there were a total of 14 people in the bar and trackside was like a ghost town.I get the feeling that this place only still opens so the bookies can include it on their online apps.We had a great time but it's really sad to see Shawfield so devoid of life, human or canine

This is a great night out for both young and old and a great venue for a family night. Kids are also welcome. There is an outdoor area to watch the racing and to bet on your favourites along with an indoor area, bar and restaurant to beat the cold weather. Highly recommended!!

first two races were declared null and void when I complained to the bar staff it was a shrug of the shoulders nothing to do with me mate, asked to see the management, after fifteen minutes waiting decided to leave, over priced beers into the bargain definitely won't be back

Was there on saturday great night but 45 minute wait at bar was abit of a joke missed 3 races think the staff need to brush up on serving quicker instead of gabbing apart from that all good

Came down to Glasgow for some weekend xmas shopping,it was brill, that we would do something different on the Saturday night so we went along to the dog racing at Shawfields What a run down place, got there at just after 7pm, spoke to waitress and asked about a table within the restaurant, she asked another waitress who informed me that she would have to check with the chef to see if they had enough food, she came back and said she was sorry but they didn't have enough food so no table was offered, the racing was fab but everything else about the stadium was rubbish, if you are thinking about ever going to the Shawfields dogs Don't !!!!!!!!!!!!

First ever visit to Shawfield for dog racing. The food in the restaurant is basic and tasty, drinks are not too pricey. The surroundings are a bit tacky, but this is to be expected for a minority sport. We limited our gambling to amongst ourselves at the table. Fun night out with family, would probably do it again. One downside, animal protesters were outside protesting about the treatment of the dogs.

Not been here for a few years now but it's a bit run down now. Still enjoyed my night and also got a couple of winners. Bar area was good and service was quick they also do meals. Best prices for a bet is the bookies at the track side.

Family nite ouy. Table not ready (no biggie) number of drinks not available - not the 3nd of the world. Food a different story. Portions were tiny. Soup and bread roll for starter eh no we all got ONE slice of a baggette even the kids asked for more and the basket came with 2 extra slices absolutely shicked! Mains dry tasteless couldnt eat. Total wast of money. Table servicer (manageress) rude and slow orders wrong. Had to go bar ourselves. Spent a lot of money and felt ripped off.

Dirty, dingy, outdated. Food was on a par with a greasy burger van, drinks outrageously overpriced. Place was dead and those that were there seemed to be the dregs of society. "Great night out", I don't think so. Would never go back or recommend.

Was a regular visitor here over 10 years ago. First time since and my goodness what a poor shadow of its old self it was. Outside area and facilities practically non-existent. Although cafe at far end open, none of the bars were and stands were empty. Ended up in upstairs lounge for a heat and bar and tote had lengthy queues. Sadly, don't think I'll venture back.

Great night if you are up for a cheap and cheerful fun. It's is a simple dog track with shall we say basic facilities. But the dogs and a little flutter are the main attraction. I would say the staff are great, good banter and more than happy to help.

Hmmmm. Bit dingey and run down. There is a bar, there are toilets, neither are good. If you're into dog racing (perhaps soul search) then it'll be ok and an alright night out. If not and are going for the "experience", probably don't.
