About The Ark Glasgow

A busy Glasgow pub that manages the trick of being genuinely relaxed with children in tow — buggies get through, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu plus outdoor seating for when little ones need air. The staff are the real strength: attentive, quick even when the bar fills up, and happy to work around a fussy eater. Portions are generous and prices low, with the boozy brunch a favourite. Be warned it's a sports pub at heart — around fifteen screens plus a big one — so it gets loud on match days, and the gents' toilets are cramped. Veggie options are thin. Skip the set-menu party packages; the à la carte is where the value sits. One family called the team "fabulous".
