Strip Joint Glasgow : Cold Beer, Pizza, Vinyl Records — Restaurant in Scotland

To add to the original review below, and in response to the bar’s reply… I typed the original rather quickly from a separate establishment where none of their staff had such a terrible attitude despite the increased footfall they were also experiencing that evening.

The reason for being quite outraged at the service at Strip Joint was not because the person I now know is a ‘manager’ suggested we downgrade our drinks order due to time - that is where the light hearted comment from our group of “It’s OK, we’re from Paisley” came from. He stated we would not be served the drinks we ordered because he’s had instances of trouble in the past.

To insinuate to a customer they are going to cause trouble despite being perfectly polite, civil and not raucous in any way was utterly despicable.

It wouldn’t be too far fetched to suggest the reason why that ‘manager’ had experienced trouble in the past is down to the way he speaks to customers.

After deciding to leave, I politely, away from customers and in a perfectly civil tone suggested to this ‘manager’ that what he said was “somewhat out of order” to receive a response of “nope”. Nothing more, nothing less. Hardly the actions of customer-centric member of staff, never mind a manager.

It is a shame that this bar has one bad apple amongst the bunch. Looking over a few other reviews, it’s clear to see that there are other customers have also experienced similar levels of rudeness during their visits.

To trust this individual as a manager says a lot about the lack of scrutiny of staff performance and the willingness for this establishment to continue to have its reputation tarnished.

Original review:

Had a great service from a female member of staff who was happy to bring food and drinks during our service. If she continued to be our server, then I would have happily given a 5 star review.

However, a male bearded waiter who then served us for our final round was arrogant beyond belief. We had 20 mins left on our reservation and one of our group asked for a glass of wine and was told he was only allowed a small glass of wine. Another member of our group asked for a pint of beer and was refused and told he was only getting a half pint because of time.

In 20 years of attending various good pubs and restaurants, this has to be the single most worst piece of service and attitude I have ever received.

Without him, this establishment would be excellent. With him the place deserves less than the 1 star...

This was one of the best meals I've ever had! My partner and I travelled to Glasgow for a concert at the Hydro, and chose this place to eat because it looked like it had a great atmosphere and the menu was very appealing, we could not have chosen better.

I got a parma ham pizza and she had a hot dog, and they were both incredible, some of the best food we've ever eaten. I regularly order pizza from a proper Italian restaurant back in Northumberland where we live, and the pizza I had at Strip Joint was definitely better, absolutely amazing food. The balsamic dressing took it to another level!

We tend to try to go to gigs in different cities so that we can travel about and explore, but now we are going to actively look for gigs in Glasgow so we have an excuse to come back.

If the food being delicious wasn't enough, it's also inexpensive, quickly served, and the staff are absolutely amazing. Every time we come to Scotland we are impressed with how hospitable everyone is, but the staff here took it to another level.

I cannot recommend it enough, we don't think we've ever enjoyed a meal out as much as we did today, the food, the atmosphere and especially the staff all deserve 11/10. Absolutely...

We held a brilliant event at Strip Joint on 9th Aug. It was a drinks party celebrating our company’s 50th anniversary, and we had about 100-150 guests turn up throughout the evening who were all attending a convention at the nearby Scottish Event Campus. The staff were absolutely brilliant in the run-up to the event and on the evening itself. Communication was fantastic, the service was warm and friendly, and the staff were really happy to help with whatever we needed - particularly with bringing out drinks speedily when the party got really busy. The atmosphere in the venue was great - really lively and buzzy, with a real rock n’ roll vibe, which was what we wanted. Great fun and great tunes all evening. We all had a brilliant time and can’t recommend Strip Joint enough as an event venue, especially if you’re looking for somewhere to hold a drinks party whilst attending a convention at the Scottish Event campus. We also had a team meal there before our party and the pizzas...
