Terrible experience. Today, October 31st, around 10 PM, the security guard was extremely rude at the entrance, refusing to let one person in. When my friends and I tried to enter, he said he wouldn’t let us in either because we were with another person. But we weren’t. Terrible service for us tourists who want to explore a new area of Glasgow. Regarding the response below: There was a line for Apollo that passed in front of your bar. We tried to cross the line, which was blocking your entrance, and when we reached the security guard, he said we couldn’t enter. We were a group of three. It was awful because we’re from a country that doesn’t have the tradition of celebrating Halloween, and we were excited for our first experience. We chose your bar a week in advance based on a friend’s recommendation, and when we arrived, we were stopped by the security guard who simply said we couldn’t enter. He didn’t explain why or even listen to us, turning his face away when we said we were tourists. I don’t know if it was because our English wasn’t good, but anyway. It happened, and I wanted to give this feedback so that it’s helpful for customer service at your establishment.

Not bad, I had a great drink.
Visited on Tuesday 7pm, light crowd but comfortable.

This like thousands of reviews here about “solo blockage at the entry”
Never been so humiliated. I get that you may have policies but the way it’s enforced go a long way. I see hundreds of reviews about bouncers being rude or humiliating customers, the pr team will reply on each comment but it seems nothing is done to rectify this situation as it keeps reoccurring.
In my own case, I was trying to go into the bar and the bouncer was like no, he didn’t even ask me anything or ask if I’m alone, he just said “no you’re not entering” I was like why? He said I’m alone, I can’t enter if I’m alone. Then I tried explaining that I was in there before, I just stepped out to handle some stuff and I’m alone because I’m visiting Glasgow from another city and lodging at Revolvers. He was so rude to me that a dude standing by tried to intervene and asked what’s going on? He totally snubbed me and started talking on his radio, probably calling on another security, who knew what he had in mind planned. I just left to save my remaining dignity before anything escalates. I have been to many countries n cities as a solo traveller and had a nice time each place. None have made me feel lonely and homesick like this ever.
It’s one thing to have a policy and politely explain it to people because most people experiencing this are maybe first time solo visitors like me who have no idea about the policy, politely explaining it goes a long way than treating customers who are there to be in a safe place and spend their hard earned money like trash being thrown away.
And do something about this bouncers that keeps being reported. The one that did this to me was an older white man with kinda blondish grey hair, I couldn’t get his name.
I’m not the type that reports people or write reviews but this is to show how much these hurt me.
Anyway wish y’all luck but you will prob never be seeing me or anyone I know. Cheers.

Didn’t realise it was a day bar when I first went in. Nice place, barman friendly and beer ok. Was pretty quiet, but I’m sure that changes in the evening.

Been here a few times previously and it’s been great. This Saturday was awful – felt like it was essentially a Hen Party venue. Must have been at least 3 different hen parties in all mostly taking over the venue.
Appreciate the business they bring, but when there’s so many it stops being a space for the scene, and just becomes something much less fun for everyone else. Left after one drink.
