Reviews The Hug & Pint

Was here to hear Gasper Nail who is from Malawi with a group of friends great little venue, not sure what his instrument was, he was joined for some of the time by his manager on guitar

EDITED** I went back last Friday for an exceptional meal with some fabulous margaritas and was well looked after. Really enjoyed the empanada cactus and jalapeño chz and the mushroom burrito. Seems like the previous time I was there they were still ironing out the new mexican themed menu. Anyway, looking forward to returning! Thank you Hug n Pint :-) Used to be an amazing menu which is why I went recently and was thoroughly disappointed with the food. The waitress, although nice was inexperienced so didn't explain the menu properly and left us sat for ages waiting to order, no drinks/water etc. I ordered what I thought was a decent amount of food (2x tacos and 2xmulitas) but it was so tiny for what the cost and we were starving so we ordered more (burrito). Waitress also forgot one of the items I ordered (deep fried corn). So had to order more. Then there was the issue with the tacos and mulitas. Me and partner love spicy food but we were not prepared for the utter fireball that we ate. He literally couldn't finish his and we were both gasping for water for about 20 mins (had ordered water but it never arrived so partner had to go to bar and fetch some). We told the waitress it must be a mistake in the kitchen as there's no way all the things we ordered were meant to be that spicy! But nothing was really done and we were still charged for it. So after eating that meagre meal, we waited for the burrito and no sign of it. I actually had to leave so asked for it to go and left, and my partner had to wait for it. We ordered it about 7.20pm and it ended up coming out at 8.15pm!! Absolutely ridiculous. Anyway I did eat it for lunch the next day and it was fairly decent and not laced with hot sauce thankfully. Overall, so utterly disappointed with it all considering how amazing it used to be. I won't be back for a while unfortunately...

Bloody marvellous. Staff super genuine and friendly. General decor and vibe of the place really fun and welcoming. Cracking little venue downstairs with a strong selection of local music, vitally reliant on small venues like this. Really nice selection of local beer and a small but bold menu of reasonably priced vegan Asian food. The tenderstem satay was excellently seasoned and thoroughly satisfying. Only tiny critique would be please swap in some paper menus instead of QR codes. But that’s just a personal thing. Will deffo be back. Give these people your money.

went here in 2018 & it was the first place I'd had sharing plates in glasgow. was absolutely heartbroken when I thought they'd closed for good; so happy to have them back. fab food, fab vibes, fab music if you happen to be there for a gig too. big hug.

Great little pub. Was there for a gig and found all the staff were friendly and the sound was great in the live room downstairs. The only thing I could possibly criticise is the limited menu. It's great that it's vegan but I think it's just a little bit limited in its offerings

DELICIOUS! The food was soooo good. I shared a rice, black fungus (tastes way better than sounds) greens, peanut tempeh (favorite plate), and miso mushroom. Good size for 2 people. The flavors were amazing. The staff was so nice! Great recommendations and so kind. Would love to go here again. Tasty vegan food. You won’t miss any animal products!

Beautiful building, was once a bank and the architecture is still present and used well in the current design. Nice drink options, lots of vegan options for food. Staff are very friendly.
