About MacSorley's

A traditional Glasgow pub with real 1880s carved woodwork and a mezzanine floor above the bar — handy with children, because when the ground floor fills up you can take a table upstairs and still see everything below. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and a bit of outdoor seating, and the staff have a genuinely warm way with people who've just walked in off the street. The menu is small but the cooking gets praised hard, portions are huge, and the daily deals keep it good value; free tap water too. The catch is the live music — bands play most nights and every weekend, tables get reserved early, and it's loud and packed by evening. Come early for lunch or a teatime meal and it's a lively, easy stop.
