Bar & Kitchen in Haringey

A little disappointed with the inflated prices. As beautiful as the view is, the experience lacks finesse being served your wine in a tiny paper cup and being charged £9.45 for the privilege. Rip off! I would expect to pay those prices to be served my drink in a glass. I know it's not practical but then come down on the price, as overheads must be much less than replacing broken glass and cleaning. Again the small sized no frills pizza was equally expensive at £16.99. Between the two of us, 6 tiny cups of wine cost just under £60! Next time I might just take a couple of glasses with an organic bottle of wine for the same price they charge for one cup and sit on the hill and enjoy! 🥰 we would be £50 up at least 🙃

Whenever I have been to Alexandra Palace it has normally been for a concert and as a result there have been plenty of people milling about and getting drinks or snacks prior to going into the event. I did the Parkland Walk with a friend of mine and this brings you out at Ally Pally. We had been walking for some time and needed to get some refreshment and also use the toilet. Fortunately the bar was open and it was warm and welcoming. This was good as it is was quite windy on the top of the hill! Our drinks were quickly prepared for us and we decided to sit outside so we could enjoy the magnificent view of London laid out before us. Highly recommended.

I visited the Alexandra Palace with my husband on Saturday to see the show 'Tom, Dick and Harry' which was excellent. Unfortunately the same can not be said of our experience of the Phoenix Bar & Kitchen. We were greeted at the bar by Adrianna who seemed reluctant to serve us. She said there was no prosecco (on National Prosecco day?) and if I wanted an Aperol Spritz I should go to the outdoor cocktail bar (which was not even open). I settled for a white wine spritzer and my husband had a beer, both served in paper cups. I could have accepted this if I was going outside but Adrianna didn't even ask the question. I sat in the bar area where other customers were drinking from glasses. We ordered pizzas and Adrianna told us that my husband's choice was unavailable so he chose again. When I collected the pizzas it turned out that it was my choice that had not been available so we now had two pepperoni pizzas rather than one pepperoni and a Tricolore. Luckily the two guys on the pizza stand were very understanding and helpful and directed me to the manager who was also extremely helpful and resolved this mess. A replacement pizza was quickly cooked and all was well. I appreciate that the hospitality industry is currently suffering from staffing shortages which impact on the level and quality of service they are able to provide. However, is it too much to ask for friendly service with a smile?

There isn't much to say about this venue, the title says it all. The restaurant clearly leverages the astounding views.

Service was good, a bit of a wait for the food to arrive but drinks service was quite quick so that's good :) Beautiful view of London. It was a nice sunny day so that was an added bonus. The food came in good portions and were actually tasty.

Phenomenal spot for sweeping views but sadly an utterly charmless venue with zero style. The one staff we dealt with was rude and dismissive when I asked why my cocktail wasn’t served in a cocktail glass and said there were no paper straws available even though everyone around me was getting one. Clearly not a serious issue but hospitality staff should treat such queries gracefully. I know there are staff shortages so anyone gets employed I guess, and wages may be poor... so something for management to ponder. Won’t be rushing back.

Was at this place today to have some drinks place the order on the app as per their request but half an hour later still did not have the drink. Went and told the blonde waitress who was not interested at all in what we had to say and we still didn't get our order another 15 minutes later. without joy I had to ask the other waiter who has dreadlocks and he helped us straight away. When I told the blonde waitress again she was very rude to us and was no help whatsoever I asked to talk to the manager which didn't come for another half an hour. not the best experience was expecting a lot better as the manager was no help either and don't think took our complaint seriously. Fell racially discriminated against as we were the only ones having this issue.

We are residents in them Muswell hill area for almost 5 years and this is the first time we experienced that it is forbidden to walk in the terrace area.On Sunday 16/05/2021 even though the Phoenix bar was closed the passage of the terrace was closed for people to walk and enjoy the view!What type of freedom and democracy gives you the right to do that?it was always free to walk and enjoy the view from ally pally!You have closed the entry for only one reason to make money for that which is absolute shame!!We were just standing and watching the view,also at the same time people were reading a book and also people were just talking and the security staff enforced us to go!!!Only making money and not allowing people to enjoy the view even though the bar was closed!!!disgusting experience!!!!

After getting past the guards at the entrance, who I believe must have been trained by US passport control, we were escorted by a wonderful lady who stayed with my friends and I for 30 minutes, trying desperately to get the Alexandra Palace phone to work. It refused to take any payments. We spent over an hour doing nothing except trying to order and discussing the incompetence of whoever runs this establishment. Something needs to change at this place. We will never venture here again, that's for sure.

We were so looking forward to meeting up with our friends for lunch, having booked the table weeks ago. We were told that both drinks and food had to be ordered from the Ally Pally App which we had to download. The waitress was nice enough and waited for almost half an hour for the App to load and the order of drinks be processed. I got a confirmation of purchase of 4 drinks but the drinks never came. Since my phone had taken forever to order drinks we decided that the 4 of us would each order our own food from our own phones. Only one of us successfully ordered a burger which did arrive fairly quickly. After having been there for an hour we had no drinks and were gagging. My husband shared his burger with me which was an ok burger but a rotten experience without a drink! Our friends had no luck in ordering food and after sitting for more than an hour in the cold (not their fault about the weather) the waitress suggested we could order manually! What? We waited another 10 minutes and then left. I've tried to complain via The Terrace website but I don't even think that went thru' because it's customary to receive an acknowledgment from a website upon receipt of communication. Nada. All in all, a really lousy experience when we've already eaten in several pubs across London since April 12th with contactless payment at the table. This experience was anything but contactless with the efforts required to download the App and have people breathe over you while trying to do it. It would've been funny except it wasn't. It was a complete pain and a huge disappointment. We proceeded to a pub in East Finchley where we were seated quickly without a booking, ordered from a paper menu and paid contactless.

It was impossible to order with the app. After trying for a long time, we had to ask for help as did other people and eventually a real person took our order but had to pay first and order drinks later and pay for those separately. They then brought the drinks but got the order wrong and had to order again and they still got it wrong. The food arrived in a brown carrier bag and it was vile. No plates or cutlery just disgusting cold 'mexican' burritos full of mostly rice and lettuce. I felt sick and will never go there again.

We can't judge on the quality of the food and drink as we tried to order with their "total contactless" system through their app first and then through their website. The system keeps denying our payment via cc (we used 4 different credit cards) and when we asked the staff if we could order in a different way we have been told that there is no other way to order and pay. We spent almost 40 minutes to try to solve the issue and no one was able to help us trying to find an alternative solution for our order. I would suggest a little bit of flexibility in their way of ordering and pay as tech faults happen and they can loose customers. Glad I didn't go there with my kids. Huge disappointment.

This is a terrace bar- admittedly in a nice location- which charges £5 for admission. Despite that it is dire in every way. It is littered with confrontational notices like the one I identify above. There is an incredibly complicated ordering system- fair different from the normal covid sensible precautions taken by other bars in the area. The food- just burgers- looks very unappetising. The waiting staff are slow and probably very badly trained. There is no fun in coming here. We live locally and would love to use this as a local pub, but until it is properly run that is just not going to happen.

The view from Alexandra Palace is incredible, the pub... not so much. It’s very dated, smells, floor is sticky. It could be SO GREAT! I wouldn’t mind paying £5 for a pint if it didn’t look like and smell like a Wetherspoons.

Waited 25 minutes for cold chips. Went inside to ask where they were and were bought wraps. Then asked for a refund to which the lady with the nose ring said they bought them to us but we weren’t at our table. We were the only people sat outside so not sure how that’s possible. She then changed her mind and said we had already had them, also a lie. The chips were then given to us and she rudely said ‘well give me your number back now’. I don’t think some people should work in customer service! And I don’t recommend it. Many nicer pubs a 5 minute walk away in Muswell Hill.

When visiting Ally Pally you must go to the bar it is not outstanding, but a very comfortable setting. The relaxed seating and lack of other bars make it uniquely placed. The prices are reasonable and the service is quite friendly. It often makes a nice end to the reason why you visited the palace. The only downside is the fact it is only worth visiting if you are local or going to an event.

The bar was busy ahead of a gig but the staff were great and the service good.Would be very happy to go back

We recently held our corporate evening social event at the Phoenix Bar and Kitchen at Ally Pally. From our first site visit - we were looked after by Adam who was exceptional in his attention to detail both before and during the event - right...

Superb views over London. good food and beer. there are other attractions within and around Alexandra palace. you just need to look for them

After visiting the Antiques Fair popped in for a bite to eat and a drink. Whilst the drinks were a little pricy, the lite bite food was excellent value for money. We had Buffalo Wings (4 very large wings); Garlic Mushrooms (at least a dozen)...

We had a bite to eat here recently when attending the Masters Snooker. Food was very nice and reasonably priced, about £12.50 for a Cajun Chicken Burger & Chips, the beer was as expected quite pricy, £5.20 for a pint of Guinness which I guess...

Stopped here for a late lunch after wandering around Alexandra Palace. We had Chicken Caesar Salad, Salmon Wraps and chips. The wraps and chips were good and tasty. The Chicken in the Caesar salad was very dry and even though I added more salad cream...

We visited Alexandra Palace and decided to stop for a drink at the Bar & Kitchen. The price of drinks is average but if you sit outside on the terrace, you have the most amazing views of London with a lot of the major landmarks...

Enjoyed a family lunch here over February half term. The food was good and even my children said it was good value for money. The burger and the coffee were memorable. Worth making the trip to the park and stopping off for food and amazing...

This is the bar and kitchen at Alexandra Palace exhinition centre. For us it was at the end of a five-mile walk for a dozen of us. We were happy to find somewhere with a spacious bar, decent beer and a reasonable snack-type menu. We...

Had a great night before we went across to the hydro for Donny Osmond concert. Always eat at Clyde Built before a concert as food is good, service great and staff always friendly.

2nd time we have eaten at Clydebuilt. When we arrived unfortunately they had no note of our booking although I had the confirmation email from September and a reminder 24 hours before we were due to arrive. The duty manager came to speak to us and informed us that the booking system had been transferred over and this was maybe where the hitch lay......although the bar was extremely busy before Rod Stewart the duty manager was able to find us a table and was most helpful - 10/10 for customer service. We were served quickly and the waiting staff were so helpful. It's a great location prior to a concert and would return again.

Excellent choice if you're attending a concert at the SECC / Hydro

Plain fayre good. Handy if you are going to a concert nearby.

Dined at Clydebuilt many times and this is first time I had a burger. Didn't disappoint, was the brisket pulled on burger and it was lush. Next time I will try the pizza !

Lovely to sit in before the show Food was lovely.nice & friendly atmosphere

There wasnt a great choice beingg a vegetarian i had to have soup and sweet as i dont like burgers so felt dissapointed in the menu

Use this restaurant when I go to SSEC. There is no waiting to be seated, the food is good. Only down side is that the tables are a bit close together. Other than that can't complain. Would recommend. You need to book in advance as it is busy.

Fantastic food, great service and perfect for a pre concert dinner.

Good food but the openness of the venue makes it a bit on the drafty side.

Overall good. Very limited selection of food. Too much of the same type of things. Staff were polite and attentive but long wait between courses.

Something very wrong about the burger! Weird taste and texture

The food was very good however the service was quite slow despite not being mega busy. We had to ask twice for the drinks that we ordered, our meal came before our drinks did.

I had booked a table for my mums birthday . Was less than quarter full. We were sat by the unsightly fire exit double doors and baby chairs. I asked if our table could be changed. Waitress brought manager over and he refused to change our table to a nicer location. I point blank insisted. So he was forced to oblige but did not do so happily or willingly food was below average and over priced and not as described on menu .. service was terrible. We sat for 30 mins with ourempty dinner plates in front of us. I had to ask for our desert 3 times which came 40 mins after our main. We were then going to Andy Murray Live show. Terrible service and bad attitude from the manager in particular.. won't be back. Lots of other people were also complaining.

One of the best steaks I've had especially at such great value. Brilliant service particularly from the Welsh art student waiter (sorry didn't catch your name). Will definitely return next year if we go to Andy Murray live again. Thank you

Everytime I go to a gig at The Hydro I book this place, so being to 20+ gigs this year shows I love the place !!

Really handy for going to the Hydro but that is the saving grace. Quinoa salad was mostly wilted lettuce with only a few bits of veg. Ordering is a slow process and choice of wine really limited. Every time I have been I have had to clear my own table.

Appalling service and treatment by the manager who advised that as they were so busy as it was the Ignition exhibition, the booking should not have been permitted. When I pointed out the email confirmation I had received and my son that our booking was showing on her computer screen, she again denied that that was our booking. She eventually 'found' us a table, swiftly trying to hide the 'reserved' notice in the process. We waited a long time to have our order taken, eventually leaving when told that we had to queue at the bar to place our order and the queue being at least fifteen people long. Never again!

Everything was very good on the night - food was excellent and staff were on good form. Only slight problem my wife is not very mobile and it is a long way to the nearest toilet.

Enjoyed our meal prior to going to a concert at the Hydro, it was close by

Food was adequate but service was terrible. Apathetic at best. Ordered a starter and main course after a half hour wait. No water brought as requested until asked for again - when I could attract someone's attention. After the starter asked if we would like any coffee or dessert? Still awaiting main course at this point. Staff hanging around the till / bar area mostly and manager appeared to spend most of his time in the kitchen I assume eating as was chewing when he did appear. Main course was the wrong order and to be fair they did apologise and offered a soft drink on the house. More attention to detail and less chatting with each other would help.

Nice, atmospheric restaurant and bar. A great addition to the facilities in the SECC. Staff very friendly and great for a pre-event meal. Staff realise that you're on a deadline and service was very quick

The tables seem to be made of old school gym floors and I was worried about catching my clothes on the rough edge, although I did notice some other tables were finished better and weren't so rough. The food was alright, nothing special considering the prices and there's not a lot of choice on the menu. It has a casual feel, no staff there to greet us or show us to a table and no obvious place to wait at for someone to seat you so we just picked an empty table. You order at the bar with your table number. It's handy if you're going to the hydro or anything in the SECC but I won't be rushing to go back.

Good food and service, perfect for a pre show meal

Always use Clydebuilt if visiting the Hydro. Good choice, good service and good value.

Perfect for a pre show meal, good food and service.

DISAPPOINTING So disappointing to give this review, after previous visits had recommended this venue for a pre-show meal, unfortunately do not anticipate a return visit any time soon. Firstly the bottled tap water - I am not sure how long it had been sitting but tasted awful and was warm - asked to change this for bottled water - brought 2 glasses with ice and lemon - but the same disgusting tap water. Meal ordered - Marguerite Pizza and a Chicken Caesar Salad - barely any topping visible on the Pizza and the chicken was like rubber, therefore meal consumed consisted of some pizza bread and lettuce with croutons! Despite almost full plates left - no questions asked if anything was wrong. Sweet - surely this would be better - ordered Chocolate Fudge Cake and Lemon Posset. The cake could have been bounced off the floor it was so hard, while the Posset was gelatine & lemon - one mouthful of each was enough. Coffee - Latte was so bitter could not drink it, although the cappuccino was fine. Can also recommend the Wandering Bear rose wine which was chilled and as description. The staff are young and polite, did not put complaints to them however would have thought when as much food was left they would know something was wrong. Feel strongly that the venue should be aware that not all is well with the quality of food offered.

enjoyed meal as a whole but felt vegetarian option limited.as two of the party were vegetarian it did not give them a lot of choice,,

Had a fantastic dinner before Magic Of Motown here. The service was fantastic. The food and drinks came quickly and we were treated like royalty. The food ordered was delicious and we would be more than happy to come back here and eat again before a gig/conference.

Our table was waiting for us even though we were slightly early for our reservation. The only thing that went wrong was that I ordered a cheeseburger, but got a plain burger instead. The bill reflected the food delivered, so I didn't mention it at the time. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable meal with lovely staff.

Our first experience was a good one.Very good service and pleasant staff.Food was delicious and included Scottish fare.Price was very reasonable.We will dine there again as it is so convenient .

Booked table at Clydebuilt Bar & KItchen for a pre-music event at Clyde Auditorium, and very pleasantly surprised at the quality and service of the staff, food and venue. Definitely enjoyed the plank and slate, and will be back again with friends!

We ate here for a pre-gig dinner. I like the decor, it's a bit different and quirky. The staff were nice and very efficient. There is actually the bar area and a restaurant area at the other side of the bar, which we didn't realise when we arrived. We'd booked the restaurant but sat in the bar, but the staff said they'd let the restaurant know. :) The menu is fairly basic - burgers and pizzas. We all had various burgers and they were very good. I would say the drinks aren't the cheapest, but you are at a venue, rather than just a bar. Didn't see any desserts on the menu, but I think that was because we were in the bar - the restaurant seems to have these. (not that we had room for dessert, the burgers aren't small!) Overall, I would say it's a good place to come if you're at the Hydro or Clyde Auditorium for an event.

Booked a table for a pre-theatre meal as we were attending a show at the Clyde Auditorium. The place was half empty we ordered our food and were presented with the bill before it even arrived not a good start! Pizza arrived complete with Ikea style meatballs which looked very unappetising and tasted the same and had to be removed to be able to eat pizza, fish n chips was not as described on the menu and the nearest it got to a beer batter was it may have sat next to a bottle on the bar it was as though it was from a packet of frozen fish bought from supermarket. It really was a substandard meal certainly wasn't worth the money. Spoke to two other couples who dined at the same time and they weren't impressed either. Considering this is in a prime location for all the venues it certainly is missing a trick you don't need to have anything fancy just good food at a reasonable price. This was our first and definitely last visit.

Lovely light and airy feel to the restaurant. Our server was a lovely lad and was very attentive. We enjoyed our meal immensely and the service was super fast. Food good and tasty, wine (Wandering Bear) lovely and deserts that were nice and calorific! We would definitely visit again when we are at the SSE Hydro, so handy and the area is lovely along the waterside too. Well done!

At last! an eatery next to Glasgow's concert venues which gets the pre-theatre concept i.e. the speed of service with the friendliest of staff. It's always such a rush to get something to eat between finishing work and going to a concert and if by the time your dinner arrives you have to gulp it down, you just don't enjoy it! But not with Clydebuilt, the service and speed with which our order came was brilliant - looking forward to going back soon.

Clydebuilt is located at the main entrance to the SECC. There is no view apart from people coming in and going out of the SECC. The menu is posh pub and the food well presented and tasty. The service is excellent - friendly and helpful. My wife and I ate there prior to going to the Hydro and it was fairly relaxing.

I went with my 7yr old daughter before Disney on Ice. The menu was great and the kids menu had a great choice on it with Mackies ice cream (non of your cheap rubbish) It was ideal before the hydro and the staff were very friendly and no hanging about. I will certainly go back when going to an event.

This was our first time to Clydebuilt Bar & Kitchen, my son who is profoundly deaf & autistic was a bit upset on arrival due to it being unfamiliar to him but the staff were very friendly, understanding & patient with him. Allowed us some time to settle at our table & didn't rush over immediately to take our orders. My son is also non-verbal & does hi-fives as his way of saying hello & once I had explained this to the waiting staff, they really interacted in a positive & friendly way with him whenever they were near our table! This made our first visit to this venue a very happy & enjoyable experience.

We booked a table before a show in the Hydro. Even though we left an extra hour for traveling, as recommended by the website, there was an unforeseen lane closure making us 15mins late for our table. The staff were more than accommodating on the phone when we explained that we would be late. The table service was extremely quick and very pleasant. They catered very well for children with their menu being very reasonable for the amount of food served. The food from the main menu was delicious. We made it in plenty of time to the show and all agreed that we would be back again if going to the Imax, Hydro or SECC in the future!

Excellent meal. Service was a bit of a let down

This was a family dining experience prior to going to the Hydro to see Muse. The service was excellent and quick, the food was varied and of a good quality, and the venue was perfect.

Food was very bland, ordered a burger and could not taste any seasoning or anything. We were rushed into ordering although at the time of entering the restaurant, it was very quiet. We just wanted to sit there and have a drink but the waitress came over 3 times in a 10 min period. The wine was over priced at £20 a bottle for something I can pick up in a supermarket for £6 a bottle. Overall it was very average. If I ever go to the Hydro again, I would not go back.

A decent place to eat at before a concert in SSE Hydro (much better than the fast food options there). The veggie burger was OK (I was disappointed because I didn't expect it to be fried), but the pizza was very good. The atmosphere is really nice (good music!) and overall it is a nice place to eat at.

Lovely lunch at Clydebuilt before going to see Riverdance at Clyde Auditorium. Food was good well served by friendly and professional young waitress who kept calm even though was very busy. Thank her for a great experince for my sister, wife and I

We booked a table to have lunch before a show on Sunday 17th April and the girl who showed us to our table and served us was very pleasant and cheery. Service was quick and our meal was perfect. Will definately be back again. Going to Ideal Homes in May and look forward to dining again. Sorry i cannot remember the girl's name, but certainly service with a Smile. :-)

I had the pearl barley risotto with Salmon and vegetables. It was delicious!

Enjoyed cocktails, food and excellent service - the tear and share chocolate pizza was amazing - I would recommend that to any chocolate lovers

Booked a meal before attending a concert at the hydro, great relaxed experience and very helpful, cheerful, waiting staff! Nice industrial theming to the restaurant. We had well cooked well presented meals from a good menu. Great puddings and lovely cocktails. We felt we had good value for money and portion size was just right. Great to be able to just stroll across the pavement and be right at our event.

We went here for burgers before Frankie Boyle and it was amazing! The food was fab, excellent portion sizes (always a good indication when you can't finish due to being too full up)! and awesome service. Our waiter Stan was lovely and couldnt't do enough for us, very friendly prompt service! You would expect it to be dear as it's in the SECC, however it was great value, less than £15 each for a burger, soft drink and a coffee! We normally eat in Finnieston before a trip to the SECC/Hydro/Armadillo, however we will be going back to Clydebuilt in future. Highly recommend!

I had the best burger ever! It tasted so fine and full of flavour - the chips were amazing too. Top marks to the chef! The staff were very helpful and quite knowledged on everything available from food to alcohol. The only negative would be the price - just a little expensive for me but overall had a lovely dinner and would recommend to friends.

Was a great pre-show dinner, food good and worth price

I booked as I was going with my friend to a concert in the sse hydro. The food was delicious. Pizza was amazing and my friend had classic burger with fries which looked great also. Staff were friendly.

We had to wait and wait and wait. Asked for pudding menu, it never came. Asked for bill, nobody came to take money. When I said we had waited too long the waitress said they were understaffed, they weren't, there were staff hanging around just ignoring customers. Terrible place, never again.....

Booked a table for dinner before a concert at the Clyde Auditorium, mainly for the convenience. However, the meal was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Would certainly book again if/when we go back to the Auditorium.

I booked a table online in advance to ensure I was seated and had time to enjoy my meal before attending a gig. The staff were really nice. I had to ask for my bill a couple of times. I suspect the lack of promptness was due to most customers wanting to get their bill at the same time because they were all attending the same gig. The food was decent enough in terms of quantity and value. I wasn't expecting the walnuts in my salad to be caramelized, I nearly broke a tooth when I bit into one. I would definitely consider eating there again.

We dined here on a Saturday evening, waited a few minutes for our order to be taken but less than five minutes later were served our steak sandwiches and chips - obviously food had been pre-cooked and reheated to be served in that short time. It was quite tough to eat but edible enough. The drinks were a different matter. We ordered vodka and diet coke but they tasted off when they arrived. The server took them away and brought fresh drinks. My friends drink was fine the second time but mine still tasted bad (as if it was too syrupy) but stupidly I did not send it back a second time and drank it. Ten minutes after leaving the restaurant I started being sick and this lasted until the next day, the stomach cramps still with me 4 days later. Now, I don't know if it was the reheated food or the sickly coke in my drink.

Really loved our meal that me and daughter within the clydebuilt kitchen and grill and the chap that served us was amazing also would definitely come back

Food was amazing as were the cocktails. Great experience before going to see a great show

Myself, my mother, my daughter and her friend visited for lunch before the x-factor tour (on Sat 13th Feb) and we could not fault this restaurant. Food was excellent, service even better and value for money can be slightly on the high side but because of quality and service we didnt mind too much. The quy (which unfortunately we didnt get his name but I am sure he will remember) went completely out his way to get my mother some diet iron-brew they didnt have at the bar and also gave me a taster of the colslaw before ordering, as I am very fussy about this. Other members of staff were very friendly and helpful too and it made you feel they have very good customer service skills which is a huge part of enjoying your time when out eating. I would like to say - I hope they keep up the excellent service and quality of food as we will return time again and advise others when going to any events at the sse hydro. Well-done everyone!!

We had prebooked for after an event at the hydro. We were seated promptly and food came quickly however the drinks did not. The waiter was very pleasant and apologised about the drinks. Food was nice but overpriced really for what is served. Two of my children ate from the kids menu which is reasonable. Burger and chips. The burgers were huge, really be better half the size as quite difficult for a child to eat. We probably won't return again purely as it was very pricey. Especially drinks . Orange cordial £2. A cocktail £7. Would be good if they had Capri sun on offer or child friendly bottles of water as the glasses are quite heavy and large

We had dinner here before a show at the Armadillo. We quite enjoyed it, if anything it was better than expected. Given its location, and the fact that there was a popular show on at the Hydro, meaning that the less formal eating areas were very busy, it was pleasantly quiet. We will come back the next time we go to a show here.

Service was good. Wine choice taster given when requested to enable correct choice to be made. Food presentation and content not compromised even although fully booked. Our food not delayed but heard apologies made to another table which was good to keep the customer informed due to busy kitchen. Went back to bar for a post show drink and queuing system in operation which worked well and moved quickly. Only point is that more seating /bar stools would be good around the bar bench area when very busy.

Visited the clydebuilt bar to have lunch before strictly come dancing at the hydro. Positives: Very close to venue Food was nice Staff were friendly Negatives Service was extremely slow had 1 course- visit took almost 2 hours! Food was pricey for what it was Tables for 2 are very close together there is hardly any room

Have booked Clydebuilt every time I am at concerts (at least once a month) and the last time we were there the service was slow but just put it down to a bad day however this time service was shocking, 45 minutes and we hadn't had so much as a drinks order taken, despite asking twice for service to the manager. Other tables were coming in and having their starters before we even ordered!!! When we eventually got food it was average and the prawn linguine sauce tasted like Heinz spaghetti and there was 4 prawns in the whole dish, very poor and disappointing. Won't be returning

Been a wee while since ate at the venue but wasn't disappointed. The menu differed slightly from last visit which isn't such a bad thing. The service was second to none with the servers introducing themselves on arrival and there was no time at all in between courses, in fact we were asked if we were ready for our next course on each occasion. When the food arrived it was as described on the menu and very tasty. All in all a very pleasant dining experience

Poor menu no potatoes at 6 pm food cold had to send back what we did get was tasty

Every thing was OK apart from one dish that was cold despite being served in a hot plate. Won't be rushing bark, Crowne Plaza nearby much better with the added bonus of getting your parking paid which compensates for the extra expenditure

Menu available was different from advertised. Food was good but slightly overpriced. Service was okay but was difficult to get attention of the serving staff. Wine was really nice.

I was looking forward to my meal in the restaurant but when we arrived it was a pretty dull experience. The staff were very bored looking, on autopiliot, took the order and there was no issue with timings but no engagement. The food wasn't that great. Really expected a fresh tasty set of dishes as the PR and advertising for the restaurant makes it sound so. When you get there is is basically a fast food joint in an exhibition centre corridor. nothing wrong with it if that's what you're expecting.

Food and staff very good as on last visit. My only problem that the lovely hot. Crisp coated Cullen Skink Fishcake did not have even the taste of any fish!

We had a delicious meal at the Clydebuilt Bar and Kitchen prior to going to the Andre Rieu Concert. We booked well in advance because we had a good meal there last year and it is extremely close to the Hydro. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the Strathdon Blue, pear, walnuts and rocket with arran mustard and honey dressing. My husband enjoyed the Atlantic Code with beer bater, thick cut chips and buttered peas. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I thoroughly recommend the restaurant.

First visit to clydebuilt kitchen. Split into two areas, one predominately a bar area and a dining area. Service was reasonable. Staff seemed friendly. Food was of good quality and reasonably priced. My only disappointment was that the only two desserts that appealed to me were not available...and this was not pointed out until time of order. Apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely go again.

This is the 4th time we have eaten here before a gig at the Hydro and it's ideal

Convenient for food before an event at SECC or Hydro. Not a great choice of food, especially for kids, although it is tasty. So cold had to put our coats back on.
