West On The Green, Glasgow

About us

The WEST Brewery, Bar & Restaurant is perfectly at home in the Templeton building. This beautiful iconic building, modelled on the Doge’s Palace in Venice, was home to a world renowned carpet factory until the 1950s.

We brew all our beers in strict accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, which we believe is simply the best way to make great beer.

Our German roots are firmly planted in Glasgow and our company ethos can best be summed up as ‘Glaswegian Heart. German Head’.

Amazing German food!! Such a great space. It is really well laid out, lots of room. They allow dogs in, so if that's not your thing then don't go. Service is OK too.

The perfect wedding venue! My partner and I flew from Canada for this wedding and planned it all over Zoom and email. As you can imagine, we were really nervous as we wouldn't see our venue until the day before we got married. The staff at WEST put our mind at ease (special thanks to Arlene, the events coordinator, for answering our many questions)! The day was busy for WEST due to the Great Scottish Run finishing on the Green at the same time, but that didn't stop them from helping us with any questions or issues and making sure our wedding went smoothly. We got married in the Hop room with 24 guests and it was the perfect size. The staff then moved us out in to the ballroom for a small drinks reception while my husband and I got photos out on the green and they changed the room for dinner. It was quick and efficient and set up beautifully with our small flower arrangements. The food was amazing and I still think about it! They catered to all the dietary restrictions my group had with no troubles. After that, they asked us to head to the back one more time to change it into our reception before welcoming us back for dancing. We are so thankful for WEST hosting our wedding and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

We arrived with our dog around 5.30. The place was busy, but not full as some tables available. Waitress tried to place us a table where staff would be walking around which with a dog wasn’t ideal. Asked to move to a quieter table which seemed to be a difficult question for them. They did move us. Few drinks and some food, both of which were good. Service was poor tbh. Kinda of felt like our waitress couldn’t really be bothered. It’s clear the staff obviously have their specific roles and they didn’t like being asked to do something out with it. On our last round I ordered a margarita cocktail, but was told they didn’t have any…..so I ordered an old fashioned and my partner a half pint. Her half pint arrived and I was told that they didn’t have the ingredients for an old fashioned. I complained that that was the 2nd cocktail that they didn’t have and why didn’t they tell me this before bringing my partners drink. As I said above, the service is poor, which is a shame as it’s a nice pub with decent food.

Three of us for lunch and the food was excellent! I had the steak burger with fries and coleslaw which was very tasty. The other two had the currywurst sausages and fries and the other had the chicken burger with fries. Everything was very tasty. The service was good and the staff friendly. Dog friendly. We will return.

Great place for beer! Unfortunately this time the food wasn't up to scratch. We booked for a Sunday evening 6:30 ... seated quickly but it took 20 minutes, or so, to get a drinks order taken. After we asked for our order to be taken we were informed they didn't have a lot left. Disappointing as my partner had been looking forward to the WURSTplatter! No corn ribs or meatballs available either. We ended up getting the dipping steak which was a pretty rubbish cut of meat. The desserts, sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake were nice. The pretzels aren't great. 'Auntie Anne's' are still the best! Can't fault them for the beers and when we finally received service it was from helpful, friendly staff. Hopefully next time we visit the food will be better!
