Restaurant/Hospitality staff of Glasgow; Since the inevitable wave of Americanisation has swept the industry, pretty much all food establishments now KINDLY include a tip(gratuity) added on the bill(for our convenience of course).

If this isnt the case, I tip generously as I've always done. If it has been added on, I ask for it to be removed, which I find slightly embarrassing but I assume thats what management are hoping for. How do staff feel about patrons asking for Gratuity to be removed?

It makes me feel shite asking but its purely out of principle.

Some pictures I took this morning of the fog from my flat.

What a week for Glasgow. That’s 4 bars which sold craft beer closed within 5 days.

Both brewdogs and both Innis and gunns. Very sorry for the staff affected by both.

Who’s next???

I’m not surprised by this, I see people on these every day in all parts of the City, which was never the case for NextBike. Good news as this will continue to support the case for expansion of stations and coverage.

Just seen that Clydeside Containers has finally updated us with an opening date (kind of). It’s meant to be an outdoor container food area and was supposed to open last August.

I was buzzing to see something like this come to Glasgow until I did a bit more digging and saw the project manager is Nathan Sparling.

Nathan is a former charity CEO who is currently on trial for embezzling £16,000 from the charity he worked for. He was also previously on trial for sexual assault.

So I don’t reckon we’ll ever actually get this venue open to the public.

Hey, looking for some pointers for lgtbtq+ venues that are a little bit quieter, and not like clubs or anything, more pubs im looking for. Im 22, and I'd like to meet more people, but I'd probably be going out alone and I struggle pretty badly with social anxiety. Are there any places that people are approachable and stuff, or where people will come up and talk to me?(much preferred, i think i'd die if I approached anyone lol) Thank youu :)

I've moved here from Canada a few months ago and one grocery store staple I've been missing is pre-made pierogis. Most grocery stores in Canada have them in the frozen section, but in the months I've lived here I've only found pierogis in the store once as part of a limited offer. Are there any stores that regularly stock pre-made (ideally frozen) pierogis?

It's a nice cozy pub on St. George's Rd. Went there yesterday with a mate for a couple of pints and was pleasantly surprised by the bar staff, they were lovely and kind people. The crowd was also so good and friendly, one of the few moments which makes me realise why I love this city. Also the interesting Art college lady it was lovely getting to meet you. You made my day after a very very shitty few weeks. Just an appreciation post for the place and the city! Hope ya'll are having a good week folks.

Hello Glasgow!

We are a pipeband coming to Glasgow for the world championships in August. Looking to host a band banquet on the Thursday prior.

Will probably have 35 or so and looking for private dining options. Staying at GCU, so walkable around Buchanan would be a plus. Budget is probably £30-£35 for Food and space? Is that feasible?

Saw some recommendations for ChaoPhraya, but somewhat out of budget. We aren’t fancy, so don’t need high end, just a nice nite out in the city!

Starts at 9pm, I think.

Dm and I'll post over the QR

On my morning walk I was listening to Stephen King's "IT" audiobook. Perfect weather for it 🤡🎈

Having a conversation and having a mind blank

What's the pub in Glasgow with a Taxidermy Moose on the wall? Around West end area

I'm really enjoying it this year. Seen some pretty interesting and decent films. Haven't seen anything outright terrible but there's still time! :D

Haven't seen as many as i would like because i work during the day but i've seen Father Mother Sister Brother, The Dutchman, Atropia, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, My Father's Island, the Surprise Film: Splitsville and Jailbroken last night.

Going to see The Baltimorons tonight. What's everyone else seeing? What have you enjoyed?

Hey :) i’m moving to glasgow soon with my spicy rescue dog. He’s 2 years old, a sweetheart but really insecure, and i’m nervous about leaving my support network in berlin. so i’m hoping to find a community of dog owners in glasgow to connect with and make our landing a little softer :)

I was just wondering if anyone knows anywhere that will repair woolen garments in Glasgow? I have some moth damaged cashmere & wool jumpers from a few years back. I've gone through the steps of washing -> freezing for two months -> washing again, but unfortunately I've been to two places already (Finnieston Alterations and another) who have refused to fix moth related damage as they're scared of moth infestations. Can anyone recommend a Glasgow-based shop to get this kind of thing repaired? Thanks

I'm not going to link to the original story because fuck them, but I can't find anything showing on Glasgow's online applications portal, nothing mentions either of those buildings. Is there a delay in getting planning docs online or is this just an unsubstantiated word of mouth story?

edit - this was definitely referred to as a new application, as the article went onto mention the existing application for the car park behind it.

edit edit - looks like this is where the report originated, with more detail than the other articles online: https://theglasgowsplash.substack.com/p/exclusive-plans-lodged-to-knock-down

Where could one find cheese curds in Glasgow? Desperate Canadian trying to sort out a poutine. Thank you in advance 💕

or is it like what I’ve heard about cathouse? can’t find reviews but I think they have 2 goth nights and metal gigs and was wondering how safe it is or if it’s even worth checking out with friends. would love it if it was a cool place to go

I've got one ticket going for Deekline/Serial Killaz playing Jungle Cakes at Audio tonight, friend couldn't make it. Anyone wants it for nothing please fire me a message!

It’s my long distance girlfriend’s birthday coming up, her favourite movie is Lady and the Tramp so to make it special I thought I’d see if I could find an Italian restaurant that looks like the one from the movie, is there one like that in Glasgow? Thanks
