Saint Luke's & The Winged Ox — Restaurant in Scotland

First time going here after being bought tickets from a family member to see ‘The Sherlocks’.

Was getting lost trying to find the place but would've been easier if I knew it was "just past the Barras on the right".

Security staff were the friendliest I've ever come across in a venue. Warm and welcoming.

Venue itself was smaller than I expected after seeing pictures online but it's fantastic. Sound was some of the best I've heard in Glasgow, spot on. Bars available at the back but cash only which was disappointing - no signage walking in like at the Barras. I nipped out to get cash from a nearby cash machine that a member of staff directed me to and was able to get back in easily afterwards due to our hands being stamped during entry and a wristband given after providing ID allowing you to buy alcohol, but I didn't know there was a proper bar right next to the main 'venue' room (accessible via the side next to the toilets) which took card and has a larger selection of drinks as long as you ask for a plastic cup (I didn't use this bar though). Some signposts would've been nice as this isn't obvious for a first-timer. Bar staff were really friendly and prices reasonable for a venue (£4 for a pint of Tennents, can't knock that).

The actual bar part is really cool, well decorated and had a great solo acoustic act playing. Food smelt great so would love to try it in the future. Nice walled patio beer garden/smoking area also.

Toilets were clean and of good standard.

Really enjoyed my visit and will be much more likely to buy tickets if a band I like are playing at this venue,...

Booked a table for 2 adults & 2 children. When we arrived we were given a table with quite high seating. My daughter didn’t want to sit there so we asked for another table. There were loads free but marked as ‘reserved’. We were then sat in a really small table for 4, hardly enough room for us all to eat and have drinks. The waitress explained that was all she had to offer, it was that or nothing else. So we tried to make it work, we were very hungry by this time 🙂. We ordered some starters - BBQ Pork belly which was a special, chicken wings & frickles. The pork came as 3 cubes and this was £10 bit overpriced for what was served , the chicken wings were not crispy which was disappointing, there were 4 of those for £6 (pricing from memory) The best of them all was the frickles. Crispy coated and delicious to eat with lots to share. We had burgers for mains and these were nice. The sweet potato fries were amazing! All the while we were sat eating our meal, the many tables which were ‘reserved’ remained free! Even as we left these tables were still empty. It would have been a better experience if we weren’t so cramped in a corner. I’ve been here before and everything was absolutely fab. Bringing my family this time I wanted to share the same experience and it didn’t. Such a shame as I don’t know if I would...

Went on a busy Sunday and didn't book

Arrived, family of 4. There were empty tables and a mix of reserved signs and some not. We got sat outside in a windy December at the far end. Perhaps since there was only 1 other table occupied we could have moved to the middle.

I got drinks at bar and still empty tables. No one came to get our order so I tried to order food at bar and was told I had to chase down a floor staff. Eventually I stood at the front door who said someone would come - they did.

Food was okay. A few items we ordered never came but also not charged for. We got one tiny ketchup between 4 people and I had to chase another floor staff to get more.

Every time I went t in for something the same tables were empty..

Had to follow up again to get kids food.

Then some customers came out being sick and smoking next to us. When I went to the toilet they were shouting loudly about cocaine and were openly taking it in the toilet - no door closed.

I had to chase again to pay. Not sure the staff really cared. But again an hour after we arrived and getting ready to leave the same tables inside were empty

Yes I didn't reserve a table but seeing a few empty ones for 90 minutes while we froze outside and had to chase staff for every bit of service I am not sure we will...
