Waxy O'Connor's Glasgow

About Waxy O'Connor's Glasgow

Don't judge this one by the street frontage — inside it's a rambling wooden maze of staircases, galleries and tucked-away nooks that children tend to find genuinely thrilling. Families often compare it to Rivendell, and letting little ones explore the levels before you sit down is half the fun. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all in place, and there's a patio out front if the inside crush feels like too much. Food is straightforward pub cooking — the fish and chips and the Waxy's Fry come in for real praise, though the chicken tenders are hit and miss and drinks run pricier than a chain. Two honest snags: it's card only, and it gets very loud on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday lunchtime is the calm, child-friendly window; book if you're a group.
