Reviews
I'm giving this place 1-star to really emphasise the issue we experienced that caused us to leave fifteen minutes after arriving.
It was my friend's birthday and he organised a night to have with our group by booking a table for 6 (costing him £30) a couple days in advance. The table was booked for 7pm and we arrived at 7pm sharp (later than we aimed for, but we assumed it wouldn't cause any problems).
The place was crowded but that was partially to be expected due to it being a Friday night. Unfortunately, the abundance of people was the root of the problem that came next. After waiting some time to be seated at a table - which for some reason wasn't already prepared upon our entry - we were almost instantly greeted with an obnoxiously loud group seated next to our table. Typical drunk behaviuor.
My friend requested we be moved to another table, but this wasn't possible according to the bar staff. Our next request was for the noisy group to be asked to pipe down a tad, but they denied possibility of that too. In the end, the experience just wasn't worth holding out for the rest of our friend group to arrive. And it certainly, by any means, was not worth paying £30.
On our way out, one of the staff apologised for our unsatisfaction. Apology accepted I guess, though we already made our decision regarding coming back in the future.
Thank goodness Katie's and AXM were nearby to save my friend's birthday night-out.
Driftwood, you have good drinks. I'll give you that. But it's not enough to promise a good night in the future.
You need to do better.
No one I'm the pub and they wouldn't let me in by myself. No wonder it's dead. Staff were extremely rude about it, too. I'm not sure why Glasgow doesn't let anyone in if they're solo, absolutely disgraceful if you'retravellingsolo. Makes it so much harder to meet eople. It was only 7 pm, too
My experience wasnt enjoyable. 7 people behind the bar, 5 people waiting to order a drink and you will still wait 10-15 minutes, also, alot of the other customers were quite rude and I'd imagine it's the same type of customers every week. Not the kind of place I'd drink in again
Great pub with a fun cocktail menu and good prices for Glasgow city centre. Not far from the hydro and SECC as I went here before going to see Stereophonics at the Hydro. Just a 5 minute taxi journey away, it cost about a fiver and it was the same to get to driftwood from Buchanan street bus station.
Very nice food and service. Great atmosphere.
Really like the quirky outside of the bar. Inside great staff and good range beers. great way to srat pub crawl if you in town with mates. Latest update roadworks just outside driftwood this due to new pavements being done.
Situated on the Charing cross end of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, decor is basic, we sat outside enjoying the sun. There are excellent deals on shorts and mixers. Has a student clientele mostly, however if you are passing well worth a visit. Staff are friendly and helpful. Nice pub
Rude bar member, I assume the owner, older lady with blonde hair - place was not crowded very quiet and we were told we had to order a drink because this a 'bar', myself and a friend had only just come in and gotten water. Very rude and condescending from the staff, not interested in going back
