The Solid Rock Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

Myself and my Spanish friend were staying in Glasgow for 1 night on Sunday the 24th Nov , before our flight the next morning decided to grab a beer after we checked into our hotel , walked down to solid Rock where the two apes on the door obviously didn’t like the look of us or whatever , was told “no tracksuits allowed” I was wearing a pair of dark charcoal next joggers with vans and a jacket , on a Sunday night apparently this is not good enough for the dress code ,at a rock music themed bar, the ape on the right started jumping up and down in front of us clearly desperate for a fight so we left and had 3 beers in Waxy O’Connor instead !

Update to this review after the response , firstly how do you expect me to read the dress code on the door when said ape is standing in my face grunting “no trackies” at me , secondly it’s wasn’t queued out the door so maybe a bit of customer service from said apes , you know look we’re sorry not tonight lads again grunting “no trackers” at us

And thirdly reading other reviews it seems said apes make up the dress code policy as they go along , people with combats and black jeans being turned away !

If you don’t like getting bad reviews then maybe educate your precious door staff a little , you’re a rock dive bar on a Sunday night , plenty of other bars in the city where you’re not ...

An overpriced bar across from Glasgow Central station.They play decent metal music but it's all black decor inside. It has badly needed a makeover for atleast 10 years. It literally has the atmosphere of a funeral.. The drinks are overpriced and the food is substandard. And they also discrimate about the fabric of your clothes. No football colors or logos Is sensible rule for a bar but refusing someone into a heavy metal bar for wearing all black trousers is a disgrace. Their toilets smell rancid. It's ironic that the toffs who run it, run it like a dump

Go to Rufus T's instead up the road. I believe that's ran from the same group but the staff aren't snobs atleast.

P.s. in response the scathing response I got from the owner. I think the above made it blatantly obvious that I will not be back!! There are plenty of better bars in Glasgow who dont discrimate against their customers. Your so called "dress code" is nonsense if a customer can't walk into a metal bar wearing a corey taylor shirt with All black trousers. I can now see why the bar is beginning to become run down judging by the response...

Wouldn't return here.

Bartender was rude, aggressive and attempted to instigate an argument due to him making a drinks error.

Spoke to manager Robert who agreed behaviour of bar tender was out of order however attempted to explain same stating bartender was experiencing marital and financial problems and was therefore stressed.

Wouldn't go here if you're looking for a nice night as the abilities and attitudes of staff is very poor.

EDIT - noting the reply below I would stand by the comment of aggressive staff when called out on errors. Comments reported to have been made by me and placed in quotation marks are highly inaccurate. No threats were made from my side....

I wanted to give the 'director' option conclude the matter and see how he would handle it. Poorly is my conclusion. I was always intending to leave a review.

It's not at all about the £3.40 it's the point and priciple of aggressive and unacceptable behaviour being dismissed and brushed off because of unrelated issues.

As I told you previously I had no intention of returning to the venue so your disinvitation is...
