Scotia Bar — Restaurant in Great Britain

A blonde bar tender with a tattoo on her neck made me feel very unwelcome. Me and my friends all entered meeting a very hostile welcome, we were all ask for ID which we gave happily, I ordered one pint of beer. After over an hour of nursing my beer i decided to go back to the beer to get another. I was told that i, personally, was “too drunk” and wasn’t to be served anymore. I took this on the chin as not to ruin any of my friends nights. Not minutes later she came to our table to tell us we all had to leave because of myself personally. This is obviously a personal attack and she had a vendetta against me. I had one singular beer the whole night and she made my whole friend group leave the bar. Looking back as soon as we walked in this woman didn’t like us as she made her colleague serve us and she clearly didn’t like me, maybe because I had tattoos and a funny hair colour, assuming I was a student. I was made to feel very unwelcome and was victimised by this witch of a bartender. I hope in future this bar hires workers that are far more welcoming. This stings even more as I recommended all my friends to this bar for a nice time to be met with such a hostile member of staff. She truly picked on me for no reason. I’ve lived here for six years but would certainly not recommend to any visiting tourist. This is the first time I’ve ever felt necessary to make a review that’s how strongly i feel about the way I’ve...

Went out on Friday afternoon for a few pints before meeting up with some friends.

I’ve been to Glasgow a few times and always had great experiences. Sadly, I can't say the same about this place.

We brought along a postcard from the Scotch Piper, our oldest pub locally, as a bit of fun. But I was completely ignored and brushed aside. My girlfriend tried to stay positive, saying maybe they were just busy — but that wasn’t the case.

We sat outside, but the bar man gave us nothing more than a cold look from the door. No greeting, no welcome — just a side-eye. He eventually went inside, so we followed and sat at a table.

No sooner had we sat down than he slapped a piece of A4 paper on the table that read, “This table is booked for…” and said, “I'll give you half an hour,” before walking off. No warmth, no interest.

We were so put off that we left our beers and walked out. I hate to say it, but I can't help but wonder if it was because I’m English — or maybe because I’m from Liverpool.

Either way, we went on to the next stop on our tour and were warmly welcomed there. We felt comfortable and appreciated.

I won’t be going back to that first place again. And am sure they won't mind..stay in town is my advice loads of hospitable people...
