They brew their beer to German standards so expect quality. Great building, comfortable interior, good quality food and a nice beer garden for sunny days if you can find a spot!

The iconic carpet factory , designed by Victorian architect William Leiper, produced carpet for the West Wing of the Whitehouse, the Taj Mahal and the Houses of Parliament until the 1950s.

The city has a nascent indie brew scene which began with West, housed beside the stunning Old Templeton Carpet Factory building on the edge of Glasgow Green , and which offers outdoor drinking. Read more

During Covid-19, social distancing measures in place. Tables acceptably apart from each other. Orders and payments are done through your phone so minimal interaction with friendly staff . Food okay.

Alastair Harvey

Fantastic for beers , burgers & currywurst ! Beer garden is a must on a sunny day in Glasgow

Cemal Kavasogullari

Craft beers are really good. Try anew half pints before choosing. Schnitzel and the currywurst are the typical dishes to go for.

Russell Harrison

Great friendly staff and a great menu theme naturally around Bavaria - oh yes and awesome Scottish/ Bavarian beers

Stellaa Duhart

I really liked that you could order 1/3 of pints. I had their West 4, St. Mungo & Munich Red . The Munich red was my favourite.

Starskreem T

Was here for a wedding. The food was great and they even arranged a tour of the brewery !

Jeff Wittich

Skip the tour and head straight to the beer

Ceara Pixie

Great beer . The spreads food option had smoked cheese , beef and makeral. If your sharing ask for more bread !

George MacD

1/3 pints are a great size for having several to try. The WEST platter is great as a light meal to share.

A cavernous room with an airy, industrial feel on the edge of Glasgow Green , this brewery churns out beers brewed in strict accordance with the Reinheitsgebot – traditional German purity law.

Excellent German dishes accompany the amber fluid, such as bratwurst sausages , sauerkraut and schnitzels . Migrate to the beer garden overlooking the People’s Palace in summer.

Feels like a German beer hall indeed. Very good beer and a huge selection of it.

Neel Hajare

Nice outdoor seating and their signature Helles lager and its variations were decent. Not a fan of their other beers or the food though

Kaylen Parker

The currywurst , schnitzel and onion rings . Obviously the beer is great as well .

Callum Johnston

Schnitzel in wild mushroom sauce , spatzle , dumplings in cheese and potato stew .

Denise O'Connor

Everything. Wine , beer , relax and watch the beer being brewed.

Amelie C

Schnitzels are very good! And that's both from me and a friend who lived in Germany

Kostas Staveris

Nice place , nice beer , you are not gonna like it if you are not a dog lover ..

Brian Knox

Don't go to the 12o'clock brewery tour if you don't want to end up drinking all day haha ^^

Aude Boubaker

Beer and food are really good. However don't take the salmon fillet , it is a rip off: £11.95 for a really small portion.

Miroslav Šuvak
