The Social, Glasgow

When it comes to pubs in Glasgow, I am fairly indecisive and tend to just go along with what someone else suggests. If I'm ever asked for a suggestion, I get a little bit stressed out and all the pub names I have ever known completely vanish from my head. Let's just say, I'm not good at making decisions in a social kinda context. Luckily, "The Social" tends to be a pub which sticks in my head in these cases. Why?

I visited the Social café/bar for lunch with work colleagues and ordered steak burger and chips. The burger and roll were swimming in grease, very small portion of chips. The salad was old and brown.

Meant to go shoping went for lunch, had some fantastic food and wine, stuffed myself silly and got a bit pissed, cancelled our shooping and chilled out in one of the coolest bars in glasgow / scotland. They also do kids eat free with every adult eating, not any chicken dippers rubbish here though, just half portions of what ever you want on the menu. awesome!!!! We decided to go back that evening for some of the cool cocktails we saw them creating during the day. We found out they were all £3 and even better £2 on an monday. They had a dj on playing funky house, really good night fantastic ... more
