Glasgow Southside

A lively Shawlands bar in Glasgow’s Southside, serving cocktails, craft beer and food in a relaxed neighbourhood setting.

Phillies of Shawlands

Chilled out decor, smelling lovely from some incense offering a delicious range of beers and wines. This place is connected to curious wines, and fits a similar vibe.

Great for a romantic evening, or just to hang with friends. Food menu is simple but appealing, offering fancy chicken and chips. They cater to vegans as well!

I’ll be back for some food next time as from the little bit I tasted, it showed some great potential!!

Staff are also very friendly and happy to help with food and drinks. Table service and ordering from the bar is easy and quick. Great for the price! Cheers :)

I was in Phillies this past Friday night for dinner and was served a raw chicken burger.

I know things like this can happen and food can slip through inspection but I’m leaving a negative review for the reaction I got after sending burger back.

The waiter took the burger off me and took it back to the kitchen and was pleasant enough.

However he brought it back out to me and said that the chef had stated the burger was fine because he had probed it and it was thigh meat so can be pinkish. I think it is clear from the attached photo that the chicken was clearly not pink but instead raw.

I insisted that I was not going to eat the burger and the waiter refunded it from the bill and brought out some extra chips free of charge.

Whilst the waiter himself was fine about it, he wasn’t overly apologetic either and me and my mates were shocked that the chef sent the burger back out stating it was fine as was. I definitely would not eat here again after this experience.

Just to note- I’ve been to Phillies many times over the last few years for drinks and always had a good time. I am only reviewing the food/ restaurant side of it.

I had a large booking here on the weekend and the service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all perfect. The team at Phillies are great, they looked after us so well. I was really impressed by how well the team ran a very busy Saturday shift without ever seeming stressed, and keeping on top of everything. The weekend menu is great! Would heartily recommend the caesar fries.

We went to get a quick dinner and the menu was very limited. They are pretty much only doing friend chicken so if that's not your thing then you might not enjoy it.

For me personally, I really enjoyed the food and I thought the portions we massive. At £11 (at the time of visit), I didn't expect to get that many chicken wings so it was a pleasant surprise. The coleslaw was also really good. Also tried the chicken caesar salad and the loaded fries, and thought they were good too.

Late-evening impromptu dining. Good food and atmosphere. The Mapo Pork Loaded fries were notable! Recommend! Ok cocktails. Fairly priced, good portions. I’d return.
