An attractive & spacious interior that would probably work better with a crowd. Late on a Monday afternoon there were few customers; perhaps it is an end of week pub as its prices would deter the daily drinker. My pint of Nicholson's Pale Ale was satisfactory but at 3.60 was the 2nd most expensive pint I had in Glasgow.

The Drum is awesome. With up to five real ales on this makes it a perfect place to sample some award-winning craft ales.
The food is good, if not spectacular, and reasonably priced.
Yes the bar can get very loud and very busy... but that's not that bad a thing.

Lovely restored interior & typical god Nicholson's food. Beer choice limited.
|
Sadly I didn't have a beer in here as "gas pumps" had packed up so there was no real ale available (apparently they use gas to help get the beer up the long distance from the cellar). Nice building and Nicholson's pubs are usually pretty good so another visit is required.

I would rate this pub as OK, no more, no less. There's plenty of worse bars, there's plenty of better ones. On my last visit I was served a ropey pint but it was changed without issue, however the beer was not removed from sale, so the next poor soul who ordered it would not get a good beer.

Pub 2 of my 7 pub tick off after a short stroll up Hope Street.
A Nicholson's pub on St Vincent St opposite the old Lloyd's bank building which used to be a bank.
As you would expect it's a lovely old building where the ceiling lights hang from the decorative ceiling there's also plenty of Marble columns in the open plan bar area.
5 beers on the pumps, almost all Scottish brews but I plumped for a pint from south of the border which was a very good IPA.
Busy on a Sat afternoon but I managed to wedge myself in a quieter corner.
This is a very decent pub that should be on your radar if doing a real ale sweep in town.

Fine city centre pub - atmospheric with friendly staff.
|
By central Glasgow standards this is one of the better pubs. Decent pint of Caledonian 80/- and a good mix of clientele in the early evening. Travelling on business alone - not a bad pub for a suited singleton looking for a place to quietly read a paper

That's ok Lee. We forgive you.

Review based on visit of 25th April 2010.
Large traditional corner pub with central bar, ornate ceiling, tiled walls and traditional furniture and fittings. Three ales kept at any time, which change periodically, from a prescribed list; tasting notes are provided at each table. Thornbridge Jaipur IPA was on top form. Wide food choice with eleven Scottish dishes available with traditional English ones to complement them. Quieter than I'd have expected for Sunday lunch, but relaxed and pleasant.
I rather liked the pub, 7/10.

Only been Deuchars and Dark Island when I've been in. Food's OK though.
|
Another great Glasgow pub that has retaining some wonderful internal features. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. To top it all there were quality real ale's on offer. Not to be missed.
|
A Nicholsons pub with reasonable choice of beer and the usual range of food. Lovely building - think it used to be a bank. It has plenty of panelling and nice carved woody bits. Gets quite busy and noisy after work.

good beer and atmosphere with a mixed crowd
|
A wonderfully atmospheric pub with excellent pub gurb. A cut above the usual with home made batter made with Ale of the day for the fresh fish and a stunning Steak and Ale pie.
Reasonable charges compliment the olde worlde decor and character filled premises.
Well worth a visit for the food and for the regular Jazz nights.
