Reviews
"Beautiful building ,, historic and is still being used for many different purposes. Like the way most old buildings in Glasgow should have been repurposed."
"Lovely place inside and easy to get to. They also have a decent amount of parking spaces. There is a bar section and stage accompanying the hall, so great for any function. I have taken a star off due to the stairs at the front entrance, they significant damaged with smashed tiles and broken concrete. May be unstable for those that struggle to walk, or children at functions."
"Got a parking ticket while attending a wedding party reception on 7 Oct. I arrived a bit late and there was no staff at the entrance to help with parking information. Tried to appeal the parking fine with the private parking company without success. Nevertheless parking options are very limited and you are to stroll through dark to find the main entrance. Not a very nice way to treat your guests. I do not reccomend this venue."
"Pros - the hall itself is okay. The staff especially the waitresses were absolutely fantastic. Cons - The toilets - absolutely disgusting the worst bathrooms I have ever been to in my life. If I had a choice I would never return here, the toilets are such a let down they’re absolutely vile."
"As a DJ and entertainer I always enjoy playing this venue its a great size for a wedding or family function. And Tommy & Jean the hall keepers do a great job of keeping thing running smoothly. It ticks all the boxes for me."
