Having heard of this bar I thought myself and my husband Frank, should pay a visit on a Friday night. We had finished a meal and had fancied a wee nightcap. We tried earlier in the night (around 8:30pm) and the whole bar was full. Ho Hum we thought as we returned later (10:15pm) we were promptly seated and given a wee run down of the new COVID regulations. A good start. The bar seemed to have a good system in place but I couldn’t help but think the tables were quite close together. We took our seats and examined the menu. It looked like the team were short staffed and spread very thin. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and my husband Frank decided we would give them 10 minutes to take our order. Not unreasonable in our eyes. The 10 minutes past and apart from our initial seating we hadn’t had a single exchange with either of the 2 staff members. Despite 3 tables being sat after us and their orders being taken. We were ignored. Begrudgingly we had to leave. In these uncertain times we can’t allow ourselves to patronise venues that don’t want to make the effort. A shame as we had heard good things yet we were let down. A lovely bar down the road were happy to have us and gave us prompt service. Disappointing as we know many bars are struggling. Susan, and Frank, Matthews …

£13.40 for pint and a wine🙄 will never be back. Been in lots of bars in the town and this by far the most expensive. Not a fan of wetherspoons at all but 2 doors down £7.48

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening here and enjoying a number of cocktails, catching up with friends and enjoying the atmosphere. Cocktails all excellent, music was first class and would been very easy to give 5 stars had the venue just been slightly cleaner. Best Wishes

Visiting Glasgow recently on business and to catch up with some old friends who suggested we meet at The Blue Dog on Saturday night last at about 9.30 pm. We stepped out of our taxi outside the premises just as they approached having come from their respective homes. We greeted them and turned to enter the bar whereupon the doorman stretched out his arm in front of us and said "not tonight"! We were astounded and stared at each other in total dismay. He went on to say "I was watching you (pointing to one of our friends), and you were walking kinda' funny coming down the street"! Our uncomfortable laughter at the absurdity of this statement quickly turned to indignation when he followed up with "you could try the karaoke bar around the corner"! The absolute effrontery and impertinence of this character was uncalled for and thoroughly insulting. I'm not so sure what the desired clientele of The Blue Dog is, but clearly not sober Managers, Company Directors or Teachers in their 50's. We will not be returning.... ever!…
