"So it’s my birthday and I’m looking for a family birthday meal for 5 people, 2 of whom are vegan and 2 of whom are vegetarian. Unfortunately I chose The 78. Where do I start? If you are looking for a bar job where you get paid for sitting chatting to your fellow staff members and don’t need to attend to/interact with the customers then this place is for you. I can only apologise for repeatedly interrupting the staff to ask for some service during our meal. How rude of me. We had to ask if it was table service or not as no one came near us after we were seated to take a drink or food order. The place was very quiet no surprise in retrospect. After our food, again no staff could bear to leave their conversations and venture near us. Don’t worry guys, we’ll leave our seats again to come to you sorry to interrupt your chat again. Even getting out of the place was difficult as we had to again seek staff attention to obtain the bill and after receiving it I had to go to the bar again as no one was coming over to let me pay. Don’t bother coming to my table with a card machine I’ll come to the bar and pay so you don’t have to move. When paying I awaited for the usual courtesy of ‘How was you meal?’ or ‘Was everything ok?’ Not a chance! So here’s my feedback whether you like it or not. I hope this review saves other people from suffering the same experiences that we had. Oh yes and the toilets are like something out of a 1970s football ground perhaps that was the last time they were cleaned. Of course the Ladies toilet didn’t work much like the staff. So someone came up with the bright idea that ladies would share the gents toilet. Come on ladies fancy watching some guy with his bits hanging out while you use the cubicle with the toilet seat hanging off and try to avoid touching anything. Is this even legal? So thanks to The 78 for giving me an unforgettable Birthday Meal with my family. Unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. We won’t be back and I would urge people to await this place being closed down and refurbished by the next owner. It looks like the closing down process has already started and the staff have definitely stopped working."

It’s an OK pub but I wouldn’t choose to go here again. It’s absolutely extortionate and I’m not sure it’s worth it.

This is a great place to eat in Glasgow when in the west end. The small plates are great and the bigger ones are a great amount of food. All the food was really tasty! Staff are great and its got a lovely relaxed vibe. Dog friendly also

Revisited with our sons (one of whom is vegan) after lockdown recently on a Sunday jazz night! Menu is vastly reduced from previous one but hope that this builds up again as ‘normality’ resumes… Atmosphere, food, drink and music were all superb! A great night had by all! View menu

I hadn't realised the restaurant was a restaurant/ bar, and the menu was more limited than I'd expected. However everything we had was excellent, with generous portion sizes and attentive smiling service. A special evening with delicious food. Relaxed and homely atmosphere.

Out and about for husband's 60th birthday and we came across The 78. Have been meaning to go for years so we gave it a try. Super friendly staff, a really inventive, vegan menu and a great range of drinks. We both ordered off the special menu and were more than happy with our tasty food. Can't wait to return and try other dishes, all looked good.

This place has a short but interesting menu and all the food is vegan. We enjoyed one of their daily dahl dishes and a seitan burger with loads of nice chips. A bottle of Sangiovese was very good and moderately priced. We went on a Wednesday evening at 6 after booking a table, and it was pretty busy by the time we left an hour later, so I think it must be rather popular. View menu

We were turned away from our first choice as we hadn 't booked, and I 'm so glad we were! It meant we found The 78. Such a friendly, relaxed and positive atmosphere. The food is all vegan and my god we didn 't miss the meat! My husband hand a crispy 'chicken ' burger with skinny fries and onion rings while I had miso ramen with tofu. We ended up chatting with other diners. Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Having seen what others were eating, we 're going back for lunch tomorrow!

Been here on numerous occasions and it's always been good, however this time it was not. We were here for a birthday lunch as a group of 4. Food wasn't up to scratch. Macaroni bites were claggy and tasteless. Burgers messy and the bun was too soft and collapsed. Not a nice burger bun at all. Chips were overly salty and a bit soft. Service wasn't best. Felt the waitress couldn't really be bothered and seemed to be annoyed when we asked for fresh cutlery after starters. Have noticed the 78 cold on several occasions. There didn't seem to be any heating on and had to sit with my jacket on the whole time. In the toilets the hand dryer did not work , a toilet seat would not stay up and there was n...
