    Had dinner and went to A night of musicals in Oran Mor too. Beautiful venue, restaurant and pub. Lovely staff. Dinner was delicious. Desserts were amazing.

    Student deals are good £3.50 tennents, really nice venue and decorations are great, you won't find a pub (or church) like this in many other places, definitely give it a visit if you're in Glasgow or on Byre's road.

    Honestly, this is our best experience in Glasgow. We stumbled upon this theatre before their 1pm "A play, a pie, a pint" show and we decided to watch it. Very worth it! £18.50 for a 1h show with a meat pie and a pint of beer. After that, we had a post meal - they have a promo set of £18 for an appetizer and a main. We had a cullen skink and a fish and chips for that price (a really value deal). Highly recommend to book tix before 12pm before sold out.
