Music and vegan food - Edit
This is such a great place! A rock-and-roll bar first (with live music downstairs) and a vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options second. Certainly a place to remember if you like loud rock music, pub food and beer!
Pros: Loud music!, Vegan pub food!

A Glasgow classic, still going strong - Edit
Always loved this place, and they are continuously improving. Lovely food, generous servings, great music. Good selection of vegan wines, and well-informed bar staff. It's cool that the menu is vegan as default with veggie options marked, but it would avoid confusion and take little effort to switch to vegan cheese and be totally vegan. Classy retro decor and affordable art to buy on the walls. Dog friendly.
The previous time I went, the service was super slow, but this time it was fine.
Pros: yummy food, brilliant juke box, art deco decor
Cons: not fully vegan, but sooo close...

excellent - Edit
Had a great busy atmosphere. We went on a Friday night in May. Easy to find with this app. Had a small weight whilst they found us a table so had a drink at the bar. Food menu was great and the food was enjoyed by a veggie and a meat eater. Spicy bean burger was lovely. Had a great Spanish bottle of wine. Service was good and friendly. Would go back

Funky place, great food - Edit
This place does amazing food and also offers a discount for Vegan Society membership. It's attached to a pub so can be a bit noisy. Children welcome in the restaurant area till 8pm. I recommend the dhal - it's meant to be a starter but it's quite a big bowl - I usually ask for an extra flatbread and share it. Also their cheesecake is to die for!
Pros: Mostly vegan
Cons: Can be a little noisy

Unlucky 13 - Edit
We visited here recently after booking a table in advance. Things did not get off to a good start as we were told that one of the starters and 3 main dishes had sold out all before 7.30pm. This limited us slightly to the Sri Lankan masala for mains from the Asian/south American menu, which left us a little disappointed especially as we really wanted to try the katsu curry. How can a restaurant have so many main dishes off the menu that early into the evening? Aside from that the overall meal was lovely and for a starter we ordered the butterbean and garlic pate and baked flat mushroom to share. The pate particularly was divine and a perfect starter. The Sri Lankan masala (extra spicy) was stunning and perfectly spiced and packed full of flavour. For dessert we ordered the sticky toffee pudding and lemon cheesecake and again both dishes were nice but the cheesecake could have had more base perhaps. We also had vegan wine with the meal too, which was nice. The atmosphere was also great with some music playing. I hope the food issues were just a one off but this needs to be addressed for future evening diners. We will go back but only during the day to eat or for late night drinks.
Pros: Good vegan options, Inexpensive, Nice staff and vibe
Cons: Best to visit during the day, Some dishes were unavailable

Food was ok. Big attraction is that you kinda could think of it as a pub.

Delicious veg pub food - Edit
We visited during the week, so unfortunately we didn't get to try to exciting-looking brunch menu, but the food that we did try - chips, veg BLT and chocolate cake - were still very good. The space is large, light (at least during the day) and comfortable.
Pros: Extensive menu, especially at weekends, Good food, Lots of seating, good space

great food in a nice setting - Edit

Pros: yummy, big portions, nice atmosphere

Dog friendly pub with food - Edit
Definitely a pub that sells food instead of a restaurant or cafe. They serve food across the entire pub but there is a section reserved for dining. Tasty food at very good prices.
One thing to note instead of things being marked as vegan, things that are not vegan are marked as vegetarian.
Dogs more than welcome as are bicycles.
Pros: Dog friendly, Bike parking

they let dogs in! - Edit
The food was amazing and staff were very friendly! Fingers crossed they will be hiring soon ;)
I had the Vietnamese noodles which were not only great but very close to the real thing and vegan!!!
And they let our dog sit with us in the bar area! Huge thumbs up!

Rock'n'roll place with rock'n'roll food - Edit
The restaurant is not 100% vegan but you can easily find vegan options on the menu.
My husband and I tried the full English breakfast and it was delicious!!
The fries were mentionned as being the best in Glasgow so we had to try them as well and I admit these were the best fries I'd ever eaten, crispy and tasty!!!
Staff was really friendly and the restaurant has a cosy atmosphere...
Pros: Best fries ever!!, Big portions, Lots of vegan options

A bit disapointed - Edit
I was really looking forward to eating here after reading the reviews on Happy Cow but ended up leaving disappointed, especially as I had taken three meat eating friend with me. The service was good and I opted for the vegi burger and chips. The burger was tasteless, I'd expect better from a 100% vegi cafe. the chip limp not crisp on the outside and fluffy inside as you'd expect a chip to be. The toffee apple pudding was OK but nothing to get excited about. They did make us espresso martini's which where not on the menu and only a fiver. Someone working behind the bar had their dog tied to the bar and it barked a lot though out our meal. The decor could do with an update, I will try again but not before I have checked out other places when next in town.

Another Great Option - Edit
In a city with many choices for the vegan, this is certainly worth considering. There is a varied menu with most of it vegan, and while the coeliac options are limited, they are clearly marked. The separate dining area makes for a more restful dining experience than some of the alternatives. I've generally had very positive experiences here and look forward to many future visits.
Pros: Friendly Staff, Separate Dining Area, Good Value
Cons: Can Be Busy, Service Can Vary

great bar - Edit
i had lunch with a non veg friend here and we were both very happy.
i have been here on many occasions for gigs but had never eaten. 13th note is a great bar on its own and the food only adds to that experience.
they tend to offer a cheap meal deal with a drink but also have an extensive menu.
plenty of options for vegans, lots of bar snacks and a great option if in the wild west.
Pros: staff, loads of choice
