Shilling Brewing Company in Glasgow City

A cracking selection of ales complimented with a cracking selection of pizzas, what's not to like.

Great choice of beers and pizzas.

Well done to Adam the pizza chef, one of the best pizza's I've ever had :)!

By a stroke of luck, we managed to get the last free table at what was a busy bar. However, the atmosphere was nice so we were comfortable. I was able to get a tasting flight of their own beers and they were all excellent. The pizza oven was visible and lovely pizzas were consumed. Lots of guest beers are also available.

There for a 60th birthday, staff were extremely helpful and any questions they took time to help with and even gave suggestions of ideas on how to do things on a very busy Saturday night at Christmas time

Excellent placed friendly service drinks prepped by barman put on a tray nice touch..loved the glass and alchol free stout delightful 😊

Great taproom. They have their own beers and a dozen more. Cool event spaces and very friendly service.

This place is not have disabled access despite having accessible toilets. In 2024, establishments should do better to provide an experience for all. Edit: After receiving a response, I have learned that there is access. I approached the barman at the time and was told explicitly that there was no disabled access so perhaps a bit of training of the staff is required. Maybe next time I'll have better luck!

A massive screen on the wall displays all the beers, lagers, and whatever else is available. I had a pint of Irish stout type beer but can't remember what it's called so please correct me, Mr Shilling! Look at my other reviews to see where I've been! So Shilling have responded to my review and it was Stouty McStoutface that I drank! Thanks for that!

Es un buen lugar con una gran selección de cervezas. Hay alrededor de 5 cervezas que elaboran ellos mismos, más otras 15 de otras cervecerías. Hubiera dado 5 estrellas excepto por una cosa . . . no hay precio mostrado en ninguna de las cervezas de invitados. A pesar de que tienen una pantalla sin tocar, esto no muestra los precios. Así que, me sorprendió un poco que me cobraran £ 10. 71 por una pinta de Polly's 5. 6 % Pale Ale. Esto también incluye un cargo por servicio "opcional" que en realidad no se menciona (excepto por un letrero muy pequeño en la barra). Es mi culpa por no preguntar por adelantado. El lado positivo, la cerveza era muy agradable.

Stopped when arriving in Glasgow and had excellent beer. Service was very attentive, got great recommendations on what to do in the city as well from the bartender. Beer suggestions were great. Place had a nice ambience

Very popular place. Good music friendly staff. Pizza, cider and Ales 🍺

Really worth visiting and so glad we did. Great beer selection and an excellent sour range too. Pizzas were great, garlic bread is to die for and the staff were really friendly and knowledgable too

Really nice craft beer bar. Lots of on site brewed beers and friendly staff.

Fantastic tap bar and great chilled pub offering food pizza and snacks in a fantastic building

Hands down the best selection of guest taps I've ever seen. House beers are solid and to style. Great urban atmosphere.

We're just passing through on vacation and stumbled across this fine establishment. Great food, atmosphere and wonderful staff.

Booked a "pour your own party" which gives a 30l keg if beer and 9 pizzas....the service was great and the private room was ideal. Highly recommended

Various choice of beers, good pizza, large, clean environment, courteous staff

Beer was great and space is lovely.

Had a blast, enjoyed food, drinks and service. All thumbs up.

¡Uno de los mejores bares de Glasgow con múltiples opciones en cervezas y pizzas! El antiguo banco realmente marca el tono para el edificio y es genial poder ver los bits de la cervecería detrás de la barra.

You have to spend an afternoon here to appreciate how good the beer choice is. A long afternoon that will go by quickly and very enjoyably.

Lots of beer to choose from and nice place. Didn't eat there but the pizza looked very good

Great place for a beer lover Good beer and nice service Cheeky toilets with old bank vaults

Very nice place, many nice beers to try, highly recommended

Very good selection and great staff!!

An excellent pizza and flight of Shilling Brews🤓

It's always a pleasure to visit the Shilling. Elegant and classy, with a superb beer range.

As a Visitor to Glasgow, normally rely on Wetherspoons for food and beer but as it was mobbed, found Shilling across the road. Not ideal for solo diners as no table ordering but buzzer system a decent work around. Great range of drinks, if I'm in town again without bags then this would be a great option due to the long tables for easy seating

Como amante de la cerveza artesanal californiana y asistente regular al festival de cerveza artesanal, investigué antes de viajar a Glasgow e identifiqué a Shilling Brewing como el número 1 en mi lista de cervecerías para visitar. Cuando entré por la puerta y vi los grifos y la lista de cervezas supe que este era EL lugar! Su selección de cervezas de barril y enlatadas IPA stouts, etc. de cerveceros artesanales de toda Escocia es increíble. No esperaba encontrar OPIs de primera categoría estilo "West Coast" brumosas, dobles e incluso triples en Escocia, pero aquí estaban. Shilling instantáneamente se convirtió en el "local" para mi banda - compañeros y yo. De mis diez días en Glasgow solo me perdí un día visitando Shilling Brewing. Para la comida a la que voy - era su "pan de queso de ajo", que en realidad es una pizza generosamente cubierta con queso, ajo y aceite de oliva. Ah, y la ubicación de Shilling es ideal, en el centro de Glasgow a poca distancia de la estación de Queen Street, Buchanan Street, Argyle Street, George Square, etc.

Beer and pizza what more could you want and very good beer and pizza at that

Delicious pizza (irn bru haggis is my favourite!) and amazing deals for students :-) Nice vibe to relax and have drinks.

Staff were excellent food was too My only criticism was the queue for the bar was a bit of a free for all

Good selection of beers, nice place but card only.

I just stumbled upon this place wandering around Glasgow. Great spot; great atmosphere. The bartenders were super knowledgeable about the beers and always willing to offer samples to try. Limited food menu, but the pizza was GREAT! Had that not been my last day in Glasgow, I would have definitely returned again. Hope to be back sometime at this great spot - especially for a solo traveler.

Great venue for craft beers. Plenty of Scottish breweries on offer. Pizzas are pretty good too.

Increíble selección de cerveza elaborada en el pub, así como un montón de cervezas de invitados. La pizza era fantástica y servida en minutos.

Very good beer - and also nice merch ;)

It’s 9 quid a pint (for a 5% West Coast IPA) plus they add on 5% to bill without telling you. And then ask if you want to leave a tip. More expensive than Singapore, where I ordered an Overtone earlier this year! They don’t take cash and the atmosphere is terrible. Apart from that it’s great. Edit: so the owner replied, which is nice. But their claim that the 5% service charge is clearly displayed and discretionary is simply untrue I’m afraid. I’ve no idea where it’s displayed despite visiting this bar numerous times. There’s a deeper issue in that why is a bar charging a service charge - it’s not table service, nothing on cask, staff just pouring a pint. If, as the owner claims, it’s to reflect the bar staff’s hard work, perhaps more of the profit of their £9 pints should go on wages. Owner replied about tipping with claim that punters aren’t asked for a tip, which again is untrue. You can’t pay cash and the POS/card reader defaults to asking you for a tip. I’ll not be back.

Came here recently for a few drinks whilst in Glasgow. I was impressed by the sheer variety of drinks on tap. Some nice flavours and the atmosphere was lovely. Ordered 6-7 pizzas for our large group and they were all deliscious and got devoured pronto. Will come back again for sure.

Good pub for range of beers on tap

Flat beer. Was ok pint at first. However, the pint got very flat pretty quickly, which was pretty disappointing. The price for a pint was six pounds, which for a flat life less beer didn't seem value for money. This place could be so much better if they put more care into pouring the beer and the glassware being up to standard.

Was a nice place. Pizzas were great but that is all they serve. Would be good for other stuff on menu e.g. chips/ onion rings/ simple deserts

Wonderful selection of beers and very well made pizza! The dough is perfect and the garlic bread is a real delight. The interior is also very spacious for a relaxed time with friends.

Just a refreshing pint whilst waiting for a train. Great chat with the guy serving. Such a wide choice of beers, I needed help and advice, which was supplied willingly.

Thank you again Shilling Brewery, another fantastic pint, ABE! And thank you Andrew for the perfect pour! 🍻

Gran parada, probé un vuelo de cervezas Shilling’s (lager, rojo, Anyone But Vienna Lager, y un IPA) , con una pizza margarita. Rápido, delicioso, gran personal.

Amazing selection of beers and great pizzas at reasonable prices.

Mega if u have a student card and are skint get ursel a haggis pizza for a fiver! A bit loud inside for a nice crafty time tho

The wife and I spent a couple of hours here on Monday 3rd of June. Really impressive building. We had a great time - even managed 2nd place in the pub quiz.

First time here and was well impressed with the selection of beers. Had a pint of IPA to die for. Great location and really friendly staff. A great experience.

Great service. Excellent pizza. Wonderful selection of beers. Superb.

I’ve been here a few times with friends, the student discounts on drinks and food are a lifesaver, pizza is always great and dips are fantastic.

Best pint and pizza in Glasgow. Thank you Shilling. Thank you bartender Riordan 🍻

Best bar in Glasgow. Riordan provided grwat service as always. Highly recommended this spot to anyone for great beer and pizza.

Fantastic beer and very knowledgeable/helpful staff

Great place, excellent beer and pizza and friendly staff, possibly the best lager I’ve ever had along with all their own beers. Just don’t even bother with the other 20 odd guest beers

My friend and I came here on a whim. Staff was very friendly! Pizza was great and delivered in a timely manner. They offer a beer flight to try all of their SBCo. Brews

Had a lovely pint of the Machine Gun Lager. Impressive bar with vaulted ceilings.

I had the Stouty McStoutface that they brewed here. It's a very nice dry Irish stout.

Piacevolmente colpiti da questo locale! Birrificio in una ex banca, locale molto originale. Personale gentile. Birra e pizza buone! La pizza si avvicina molto a quella italiana.

Nice interior and a very good selection of craft beer. Cosy atmosphere but not to busy inside. You can also order a good pizza. Friendly staff.

Really nice place. Sat with the Galway Stout at the moment which is particularly good. Had fun reaching that conclusions.

Bar with a huge selection of beers on tap and in cans. The Untappd link for each of these beers allows you to have a first overview and it is very practical. Afterwards, the place is not really my taste, falsely industrial, too noisy

I was in here as part of a group of about 20-25 people for a leaving party for one of our colleagues. I have been in a few times and it never disappoints. Plenty of beers to choose from and the pizzas are dynamite. I would recommend a pint of Deckchair and a margherita pizza.

Here's the details and we love it. You can see the color of the beer under the tap. The pizza was delicious. We will be back.

Your staff went of their way to accommodate my,admittedly, quirky needs. I'll definitely recommend Shilling and if I'm ever back in Glasgow I'll certainly stop by again. Thanks so much.

amazing place for a pizza - very friendly staff and quick service - food and drinks are awesome, and they brew their own beer - the prices are incredible, and on top of that, they have a 50% student discount - they also host a pub quiz, which is fun to enjoy with friends - lunch or dinner, this is definitely one of the best places to go to in Glasgow

Great place, lots of interesting beers to try out. Staff very friendly and engaging

They are located i a beautiful building and a fun atmosphere. Their stout is fantastic, and the lager is ok. My friends loved the IPA. Bought some shirts and hung out for about an hour.

A huge selection of different beers and each that i‘ve tasted was really nice! As a perfect match they offer delicious pizza (also vegan).

definitely get a beer flight or two, it's great getting to try all different beers. the pizzas are good too, worth a visit

Guest ales are a complete rip off. Pizzas are very nice though

The worst pizza I’ve ever eaten. I can only feel the saltiness and and the spicy from fresh chillies. Dont feel like pizza at all. A waste of money

Good Drink selection that changes often and probably the best value/quality pizza in Glasgow at time of writing. Forget Queuing at Paesano go here, its just as good but cheaper and you can book tables. Can be noisy if that's a problem for some.

Booked a table for 1900 tonight. Someone phoned and we explained that we would be running late, as the show we were seeing at the Kings Theatre had ran on later than expected. We arrived, after walking in the pouring rain, to find that our table had been given to someone else and we were subsequently sat a table against a wall, with a rowdy table of four sat besides us. We will not return!

Good brewery in the heart of Glasgow! For people who desire to savour the art of craft beer AND people who just want to have fun!🍻 Good decoration and atmosphere! Loads of good beer selection! (plus you get to try beers before buying them🤫) SHOUT OUT to Craig! He is AMAZING!!

Heard good things so went along to try it out. Good selection of beer and the bar staff were decent, however a 5 percent service charge as standard ?!? I see that you can get it removed from your bill but it's not actually mentioned at the point of payment and no receipt was offered. I never agree with putting a service charge on a bill as this is not America and although I agree good service should be rewarded, it should never be assumed. This really took the biscuit though as a service charge would suggest some sort of service element. There was no table service and your pizza isn't even take to your table when ready (you have to collect it). In the couple of hours we spent in this establishment we had one member of staff clear plates and glasses and that was it. Based on this I very much doubt I will return as a customer which is a real shame as it's a nice place.

Delicious pizza with nice atmosphere.

Mother's Day 2024 lunch & beers! We met with our son here, for my mother's day treat. Had a selection of beers each, with each taking a beer flight of 4 thirds (fruit sours for me, mix for my son & a selection of stouts and porters for my other half). We also had a few pizzas and sme garlic bread. Food is excellent value, the beers are a tad expensive - but great choices. Lovely building too, and friendly staff - happy to have you take a taster to check you will like the offering.

Drinks and pizza. Had a nice afternoon/evening in here. Lots of different craft beers to choose from and the pepperoni pizza was a nice.

Didn't think the craft beer selection was that great- only one IPA I really fancied (a Pollys) and it wasn't available as a pint. There wasn't much that was interesting to me (I don't mean gimmicky, just wanted a few delicious, juicy IPAs). There were no DIPAs, one 4% stout, and I think one sour. I could be wrong, but it felt like there were lots of middle of the road session beers, and only one cider on tap. I felt it was a bit overrated compared to several craft beer pubs back home, where they're passionate about having great beers on tap, and the staff know what's on tap and what it tastes like... (maybe I've been spoilt?) Probably the best place in the locality to grab a decent IPA as far as I could tell. The building was nice, but atmosphere was a bit flat I thought, although it was 6pm on a Tuesday! Had a 5+ minute wait getting my beer after paying, but mistakes happen!

Would heartily recommend this bar - cool aesthetics being in an old bank, a wide range of drinks of weird & wonderful flavours and the pizza was divine. Try the Irn Bru chilli! Had sports on a big screen but tables in a separate area which was quieter, so covers all bases.

What a fantastic find. A friend recommended this place, so we raced in to escape the battering rain and then struggled to tear ourselves away all afternoon. Started with a couple of beers from the massive craft menu, then went in for some pizza, which the kitchen cooked to our fussy specs and turned out to be maybe the best pizza I've ever had. Lovely vibe, too, with great music, lovely staff who don't hover, and cosy seating that you can just choose. I'll be coming back to Glasgow just for this place tbh.

Food good, beer good, could do with an app to order from the table

Absolutely amazing place. Excellent, huge selection of craft beer and one of the best pizza's I've ever had (vegetarian haggis with Iron Bru chilli jam). Highly recommended!

Nice bar in a central location in Glasgow town centre. Really liked the interior, retaining a number of features from the old bank that used to be at this location. Limited menu, but this works in your favour as it keeps it simple. There is no table service, so order at the bar. Servers were knowledgeable and happy to offer assistance on the vast amount of drinks on offer. Pizza and beer are always a winning combination. Opted for a spicy pineapple vegetarian pizza, although this can be tailored to be vegan. The other choice was one with black pudding. Liked the char on the underside, simply delicious.

Great selection of tasty beers. Interesting, spacious environment with comfy seats and clean facilities. Only visited for the beer!!

Darkness will prevail was amazing! Very good choice of beers, lovely decor

One of the very few places in Glasgow that sells Thistly Cross cider on draught and I'll be eternally grateful for that! Great place with loads of space and craft beers

Massive thanks to the staff and braumeister at the brewery. Amazing atmosphere and selection of brews. Top tips from them about the flights and other drinks available. Will be back for more.

I felt at ease, an old bank, beautiful interior, there are no waiters to serve you, you order and you are given a sort of remote control that vibrates when your pizzas are ready, and you go and get them. also if you go before 6pm you can have 2 pizzas for the price of one, fantastic! Then if you want to go to the toilets, you go below the floor, where the vault was, I found it very suggestive and the bathrooms really clean and nice, I will definitely go back 🥰🥰🥰

Great place to catch some good craft pizzas and beers

We were the only guests right after opening for lunch. Two waiters were not able to welcome us or take our order. We left after 15 minutes.

Popped in for the Gatsby themed casino night on New Year's Eve. Excellent beer selection, other drinks are OK, service was pretty good overall. They ran a pizza buffet on the night which was nice. Didn't make it to midnight alas as got a bit bored and headed elsewhere for a bit more party which isn't meant negatively, on a different night Shilling would have been just fine.... Just not NYE for my partner and I.

Brilliant place! Beautiful beers,atmosphere was really good. Cheers. Will come back to this place.

Surprisingly very good! Had the haggis & irn bru pizza. Was wonderful. Excellent selection of beers

You will get robbed. Please watch your bags, backpacks, jackets, purses etc. Tourists, others, keep valuables close to you.

It’s a shame to put this review in because the pizza was great. Unfortunately yesterday, everything else wasn’t the best. We were a big group with a booking paid in full up front that none of the staff seemed to know about. We were supposed to have drinks on arrival and pizza buffet but the staff were completely unaware of our booking or what we had paid for. After we brought it to their attention, they had brought out the prosecco and informed us it was 8 pizzas between all of us and there wasn’t an actual buffet. There were also supposed to be options for the festive pizza menu on the email when we booked, which was not made clear if we could actually order on the day so we didn’t. We ended up complaining because the email wasn’t clear and we each got to order a pizza. When the pizzas started coming out, there were four that hadn’t been brought out. (Which brings back to the original 8 pizzas we were allowed) When we asked the staff about the rest of our parties pizzas, they had a lot of attitude and said they were in the oven when they weren’t. When we brought up the attitude to the manager in charge, she rolled her eyes. We understand it’s hard to accommodate big parties and it’s a busy time of year. If the staff had just even apologised or been a bit nicer about everything, I wouldn’t be complaining. Loved the pizza but won’t be back at all because of the attitude of the staff.
