Glasgow's first brew pub is a short train ride from
Central Station - get off at Mount Florida. The pub does a complete range of
their own beers (see the boxout) plus it does a range of 6 guest ales. This is a
massive achievement as they also sell an extensive range of German and Belgian
beers. On top of this they have a no smoking area and can have kids in until
8pm. Good wholesome food is served all day at reasonable prices for a big city.
No accommodation here.
| Additional Notes: |
In addition to the accurate
review, I'd like to add that the Clockwork is also one of the very few
pubs in Glasgow that refrains from showing "Old Firm" matches,
that is Rangers versus Celtic, and as such is a haven of sanity on what
can be an insane day in Glasgow. It also welcomes with open arms the
colourful and eccentric sight of the Scottish Claymores American football
fans on several Sundays during their summer season. (David Mclean) |

As a cardholder for the Clockwork Beer Co I was
surprised recently at the increase in prices at this establishment. Prices
were previously at a premium however you only get what you pay for and
Clockwork does offer great facilities and is a very nice place in which to
drink and eat. Staff are excellent and I feel that what it offers is unique
in this area. However a 15p per pint increase in prices is the biggest
single increase in prices that I have ever experienced at any pub. This is
regrettable as I will be unable to visit Clockwork as often as I had
previously. The price for a pint of Tennents lager is now £ 2.40/ £2.26 with
the card. There is no discount on a pint of Stella and at £ 2.70 a pint
these prices rival city centre establishments. A shame that such a good pub
is, for this customer, pricing itself out of the market. I wish all at
Clockwork well. (Joe Mullaney, 2003) |

Only a ruddy moan could point out a 15 pence hike-up in some obscure drink
without pointing out that I bough a round for three today and had change
from a fiver. Gi'es a break, Jimmy. Robin is running a great pub. (Gus

It's a great pub, with a really good atmosphere. We often go with the
children, for a meal, as it caters exceptionally well for families
(especially when the owner is present). The only thing I would ask the owner
to consider is the provision of more toilets. At present, many of the male
patrons, instead of using the gents' toilets, (which are upstairs), tend to
use the "baby changing" toilets. Many of them are still smoking
cigarettes, cigars or pipes when they go in - not very pleasant if you have
to go in afterwards to change your child's nappy! (3/11/03) |

The Clockwork has a Gents toilet downstairs, which the moan has seemingly
missed. (10/1/04) |

Good pub but shame about the noise of children on a Sunday. Why anyone would
want to bring a baby to a pub is anyone's guess. I'm sure the
cigarette smoke etc would be bad for the baby as well as the noise and smell
from a baby being bad for the adult who just wants a quiet Sunday drink. (Johnny

I
think it is about time someone gets realistic here. Yes the Clockwork has a
great range of beers, probably the most on tap in the entire city, and yes
it has great premium beers also, but the prices for non-Clockwork pints are
up there with the Merchant City, and the food is distinctly less than
average quality when compared to other similarly expensive gaffs across the
city. And yes this is a regular writing! (4/7/04) |
