Reviews of Dows Bar

C. M.

Lovely pub, nice Guinness. Bar staff were very friendly and made me feel very welcome on my first visit. Relaxed atmosphere. The first pub when you come out of Queen Street station and a great starting point for a Glasgow day or night out. Will definitely visit again

S. B.

No food. Stop off for railway journey as right next to Queens Street Station. Pop in. In need of make over. But great atmosphere. Pop in pub . Toilets aghh. . But can't fault the staff. Not always busy. 2 people only one day. Midweek was dead as a dodo.xx

s. p.

Train was cancelled so came here for a pint while I waited. Directly opposite queen Street side entrance. Was rather busy as was expected for a town centre/train station bar. Didn't have to wait long to get served. The bar itself could have done with a bit of a clean up, didn't once see any of the staff clean the bar in the hour and a half I was here and there were 4 members of staff in at one point. The staff themselves were friendly and polite and a bit of eye candy which is always a bonus. The prices are pretty steep here. Not sure if that's because of the location they know they can charge that much, but there are also a few other bars in the area that are cheaper if you could be bothered walking up to a hundred meters. Can't remember the last time I paid almost £5 for a pint. Next time a train is cancelled and I fancy a drink, I think I'll check out a different bar. Would recommend if your knackered and fancy a pint, but if you want a drinking session then I'd definaltly get yourselves a bankloan.

s. f.

Been in a few times whilst waiting on the train. Was served by gillian, fantastic barmaid. friendly, engaging and interesting. Would definitely visit this pub again due to warm welcome you get. 5 star.

S. D.

Well run pub its a good pub with genuine people from Glasgow and other places its beside the station and you get all sorts of group's of people coming in to have a good laugh and a crack it's an all round good boozer by the way the door man good guy who organised the seating area for everyone who could be fit in with the covid over now well the rules it's going to be a busy pub and well liked by me and my mate we went into the pub around 3:30 pm we ended up getting the last bus home from Glasgow to Edinburgh we got lucky that's how cool the pub is you don't want to leave ha ha ha

L. S.

Excellent wee pub in the heart of the city 👍

D. M.

Very reasonably priced, and nice bar staff.

Proper wee Glasgow boozer beside Queen Street Station. Basic range of draught beers. Greatly improved since my last visit around 30 years ago when some bam was throwing chairs about and I had to hide in the toilets!

C. C.

Great pub handy when your waiting on a yrain

D.

Great pub and great pint

G. C.

The barmaid working was very helpful

K. L.

Luv the place both customers and staff

C. B.

Could do with a right good refit. It’s a proper pub don’t get me wrong but could do with a freshen up. But the beers were good and it was a good laugh with the folk that were in. Great for a beer before getting the train.

P. d.

Traditional Mans pub situated next to Queen St station. Not somewhere to take the girlfriend or to impress someone but reasonable priced drinks and chatty female bar staff with good patter. Ok for a few pints before heading off elsewhere.

D. C.

Popped in for a quick drink whilst waiting to catch train to Edinburgh from Queen Street station. A bit dated and toilets reminded me of going out to pubs in my younger days......Cold and smelling of pee😱

P. M.

Very much a traditional old Glasgow pub. Been in the same spot for decades, directly opposite as you leave Queen St station and is a small but lively place. Great prices for a city centre pub and the staff were friendly. Place was clean but In dire need of a makeover, feels like a pub from the late 70's. Large function room upstairs and usually a Karaoke & live bands. It can get a little rowdy on a Saturday especially around the time the football finishes but never usually any trouble. Full of real honest Glaswegians and tends to be the older crowd who frequent the place.

C. S.

Invariably this pub is my last port of call before I head for the train home. Without fail the staff are courteous and accommodating above and beyond considering I and my compadre have been drinking elsewhere.

I. C.

Lovely friendly pub

A. S.

Cheap, cheerful and friendly.Right next to Queen St station so ideal if you fancy a refreshment before your train.It was stiflingly hot inside when we were in don't know if it's always like this or not?

d. c.

Was like going back in time. My wife and I only popped in for a quick drink whilst waiting on a train from Queen Street station. The toilets smelled the way I remember from years gone past......Stale urine 🤢

A. T.

Happy just before the train

m. d.

Good pint of stella 4.0

B. C.

I can't fault this wee bar, it's right next to the train station and it's handy for everything. Cold beer, I can bring my dog and if you stay later, you can catch karaoke on the weekends! Very friendly.

S. S.

Despite the name change - from the Vale- the pub hasn't really changed much. It's not bad for a stop off for a beer waiting for, or just off the train.

A. F.

Excellent pub! Great place for a pint when you’ve just got off the train though it’s such a welcoming place it rarely stops at one!

S. D.

Great pint of Guinness

J.

Next to queen st station

Rough, ready and impossibly friendly - truly a diamond of a pub especially if you pick up a microphone and sing a song! I'll be back for sure.

I. S.

Cozy little bar right off Queens Station. Cash ONLY..but meet a lot of traveling folks who need to wait till the crowd dies down.
