Alea Glasgow Casino Unit C Paisley Road, Glasgow G5 8NP

"The TL;DR? Since it changed owners, not the venue it used to be. Other nearby alternatives do almost everything better. NB no more complimentary soft drinks for members. Ok first the positives: Prime spot, conveniently located at Glasgow Quay. Big space with nice views of Clyde. Staff are nice when you can get a hold of one of them to serve you. (And now the negatives...) But there has clearly been a leak at some point on the first floor, and as a consequence the place smells like the gents urinals. Not nice when you are trying to have a drink on a night out with friends, and you've taken them out to the Alea. Parts of casino are also starting to look a little run down/tired. Worse still (!) they appear to have started charging members and patrons for soft drinks when they were complementary before (unless they spend £20 gambling per day?) None of these issues at the 'Riverboat' casino just across the water - regretably will be taking patronage there from now on. Slightly smaller venue, true, but the view and furnishings are just as nice, if not better, doesn't smell of urine, better staffed and drinks are still free (can't help but feel saving pennies on drinks might cost pounds in custom on that one guys). Shame Alea isn't the same quality, good value venue it was before it changed hands to its present owners."

"Was there 28th January 2023 for group night out, from Food/ Service/ Room. All was 10 out of 10. My only recommendation is that the music / singer of the evening was not best to be singing Rock n Roll songs/ bit sreachy at times. However apart from this very enjoyable evening. 1st for me."

"Nice cocktails, decent guts on the blackjack and roulette tables, kinda got a bit played by the croupier at the poker table cause he told me it was £2 to play then as soon as play started I was told I needed to put down another 2 or forfeit before I'd even seen my hand. Not sure if that's right but if it's £4 in I would be happy to pay that I'd rather just be told up front. Anyway I left the casino £10 up and happily tipsy so it's all good."

"My wife and I had a great Saturday night experience, food was excellent quality and amazing value, service was quick too. No membership required, just ID, however I did join as it gave discounts on food drink and gambling! Had a few lucky spins on the roulette to end a great night, we'll definitely go back."

"Great atmosphere. Fantastic service from both the casino staff and restaurant staff. Well decorated and perfectly laid out seats, cushions, the lot. Food was top notch for the price. Highly recommend eating there even if you're not in there for playing games. :) lovely outdoor balcony to just chill and look out onto the quayside. :))"
