Space was perfect for us a bit of background music but not too loud so we could still hear ourselves talking and didn't have to shout. Will definitely book again

Merchant City has a rich history of trading and business, as well as being one of the city’s oldest districts. Now, it’s building a reputation as a lively and cool district, with plenty going on. Here you can find some more arty pub venues, which are adaptable in nature and trendy in design. This includes large and customisable courtyards and stylish balconies, as well as smaller locals, all of which are in close proximity to the High Street. This is a great spot for people looking for a more quirky event venue, rich with traditional Glaswegian spirit and humour. Elsewhere, Glasgow’s West End and Southside offer some nice alternatives to the boisterous character of the city centre. Located in much greener surroundings than the rest of the city, these areas are highly welcoming and community based. Venue-wise, expect to find some homely pub style cafes and restaurants with top quality food, service, and ambience.
Yes, it’s actually possible to hire a function room in a pub for free! When looking for a venue, search for ones operating on a minimum spend basis. This way, you won’t have to pay for hiring the venue, but you and your guests will spend the minimum agreed-upon amount on drinks and food. Keep in mind that if you fail to meet the minimum spend by the end of your event, you will have to pay the remaining amount. Additional charges, like a service or cleaning fee, may also apply, so make sure to ask the venue manager about these before finalising your booking.

Verified Reviews of Pubs with Function Rooms in Glasgow
The venue was excellent for a number of reasons - the facilities, the staff, the decor of the place, the spaciousness, the location.
Everything... from booking till actual event Jennifer & Mark made it so easy for us and reassured us that nothing was an issue. The buffet was perfect and substantial. As advised by Mark the right amount for all our guests. The room was sir conditioned and with ample space to seat our guests and dance. Being allowed to use space outside the room was also a great idea for anyone wanting a break from all the noise of the music. Talking of which our dj, was great as well. He played to all tastes and was really helpful with some older guests. All our guests commented on how tasty the buffet was and being able to to decorate the room early was great, also being able to walk away after the party without having to clear up was a definate plus. Please thank all the staff for being amazing and making out celebration so seamless and enjoyable.
Hitesh was very helpful before and during our daughters 21st. We had upstairs closed for the event. There was another event downstairs but very glad we had upstairs as it’s a lovely big space. Highly recommend. Buffet was great many compliments on food by the guests. Think a few of the guest may consider this venue for their 21st soon.
Was a Fab venue for a charity even i ran , would reccoemed to anyone the space is bigger than it looks in the photo and the manager Mark was super helpful at every step.
