Came here for the first time because my friend had a voucher for a whisky tasting. A couple of wee hitches on our side but we're quickly sorted by the staff! Amazing team there, friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. I've had a membership for a wee while but it was the first time actually going, regretting not going sooner now! Will definitely be back. The decor is amazing and the place clean and tidy. When I think about a great place to drink whisky, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Glasgow ticks all the boxes. Might have to get along to the Edinburgh ones and see how they match up.
Wonderful bar with a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always very welcoming and knowledgeable on whisky - staff members Tim and Chris gave us some great recommendations. We also saw them deal very well with a group of 12 people last night who didn’t have enough memberships and then became very rude and aggressive with the staff. A lot of bad reviews seem to be because guests turn up without memberships and expect to be allowed in with no questions asked - it is called a “members bar” surely it’s pretty obvious that you need a membership! Takes a few seconds to check this on the website. Would highly recommend.
The SMWS bar … what else is there to say? Many unique choices by the dram, as well as other spirits and food if you are so inclined. I’ll take my cold barley soup thank you!
An absolutely brilliant experience for my first visit, made to feel very welcome. Looking forward to going back very soon.
My first time at smws and it didn't disappoint. We were looked after by the most fantastic member of staff called Reyce. His knowledge was outstanding and he certainly is a credit to the company. Great day thank you.
This is such an amazing hideout in the middle of Glasgow.
The Staff, Alan, Ellie, Reece, Duncan and company are very welcoming and know their craft.
This is not a pub per se (as you have to be a member), however if what you want is an amazing place to have a deep conversation on a payday friday... this is your place!
Fantastic venue with endless choice of single malt whisky. Nice and friendly staff, delicious food.
Beautiful place. Membership needed or to be a guest of a member. Nice different sections of seating for different vibes.
The best SMWS location bar none! Worth every penny of the membership cost if you don't already have one. Whisky, bourbon, Armañac, cognac, rum, etc. Barrel proof and exceptional service. A must experience!
If you love whisky this members only club is a must! I went as a members guest and it is the bougiest place I have ever been. The whisky is phenomenal, the snacks are tasty and the vibe is "very fancy old man in his study" but in the best way. Prices range from pretty standard bar prices to insane once in a life time. I drank middle of the range drams which were £13 each
Fantastic place to chill and enjoy a few of the best drams of your life. I'm not sure it's open to the public or if it's members only, but if you can it's well worth a visit. There is no better place to sample a fine selection of the finest whiskies.
Visited the Bath Street venue for the first time on Tuesday - a beautiful yet casual members bar. Service was superb. Tim led our tasting and was brilliant - a credit to your organisation with some great suggestions of drams to enjoy.
SMWS is a great place in the city centre to go for a quiet drink or meal. As their name suggests they specialise in whisky but don't worry about inviting friends who are not into whisky as they offer other drinks.
Staff are attentive and knowledgeable if you are interested in tasting different whiskies.
Had a great tasting experience with Lamb curry today and it was excellent.
Excellent collection of single malt, single cask whiskies. Unforgettable experience for everyone who appreciate Scotch whisky. Also serves single cask, cask strength spirits such as rums, cognacs, armagnacs and gins.
A true home for passionate whisky lover!
Well was a surprise birthday present from my wife .I didn't have a clue as what to expect arrived and were met at the door with a great welcome taken through to a small snug area where the girl who was looking after us explained what the place was all about asked what was my favourite whiskey and made a few suggestions.she certainly knew her stuff first one was absolutely stunning as were the rest of her selection ,we decided to get some lunch food was delicious (whiskey was better)can honestly say best two and a half hours I've had in a long time so much so I became a member so looking forward to many more visits.i would suggest if you like peace and quiet to enjoy a dram or two look it up .
