Bar staff look at you as if you’ve ruined their day when you want to a buy a drink. They have that«Can’t you see I’m on my phone playing Candy Crush?» glare. The customers love a good stare too. I’d stay well clear if I was you. If Tassies was to close down I dare say the house prices in Shawlands would rise 40%

Sadly I’m downgrading again as they no longer serve cask beer, I have no reason to ever visit again. Plus the toilets are MILES away!

Agree in the most part with Gavin M. The crowd this place attracts is pretty frightening! Mid afternoon on a weekday, sitting outside are toothless women with fag in hand, guys who have just been to the bookies and even some on crutches. Summer weekend evenings and the outdoor crowd changes to squealing girls with hair extensions, leggings bursting at the seams and shoes they can’t walk in. From the throng gathered at the tables and chairs on Kilmarnock Road I’d never be brave enough to venture through the doors of this place!

Perhaps we caught The James Tassie on an off day, but Jesus Christ, for a street that continually pushes itself as an alternative to Byres Road, the crowd was rough. To be fair there were a few skinny jeans type young lads and well spoken girls kicking about as well, but the pub seemed dominated by a massive crowd of outside drinkers, each and every one looking like the electronically tagged. Inside was very busy and seemed a bit chaotic. I suppose that’s better than eerily quiet.

The James Tassie(formerly a Hogshead) in Shawlands is pretty much like the Hogsheads in the rest of Glasgow or Paisley or wherever you might find them. I guess this is a good thing because you know what you’re getting and if you don’t want a surprise, then you certainly won’t get one here. The food is cheap, the drink is reasonable and there is a fairly nice atmosphere. There are better places to drink in Shawlands, but there are certainly worse.

Formerly a Hogshead, this pub has something of the chain about it: cheap food, efficient service, a sense of disconnection between the groups of drinkers, and a slightly formal, if intimate, atmosphere. It is the sort of place I visit for a quick pint, usually in the afternoons, and catch up on the sports’ news. There are cheap meals for two, so if I can persuade a friend, it is well worth the trip. It gets busier at nights, not rowdy but vibrant. They still manage to keep the service quick and polite, however: during the week, it holds onto a local vibe, without being exclusive.
