About This Pub
Ah, Gantry – it's one of those hidden gems in Paisley that I've come to really appreciate for its unique take on bar experiences. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the cocktails are a real highlight; they're crafted with such care and precision, and the team there are absolute stars at tailoring drinks to what you're in the mood for, whether it's a classic or something more adventurous. The atmosphere is just spot on – comfy and chilled out, with that perfect blend of technical know-how and easygoing charm that makes you feel right at home. It's brilliant for a casual afternoon tea or an evening of live music on open mic nights, and the staff go out of their way to ensure you're looked after, adding a personal touch that sets it apart. On the flip side, though, it's a shame it's closed on Mondays, which might cramp your style if you're after a spontaneous mid-week drink, and with prices on the moderate side, it could sting a bit if you're not planning to splash out. All in all, if you're up for quality drinks in a welcoming space, I'd say give it a go – it's got that warm, inviting feel that makes for a memorable night, but just keep in mind it might not suit everyone for a quick, budget-friendly pint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The cocktails are absolutely spot on – meticulously crafted with a great selection of spirits, and the staff are happy to whip up something custom to suit your taste.
-
The atmosphere is just lovely; it's quirky, comfortable, and has that laid-back vibe where you can truly unwind, feeling like you're among mates.
-
Staff are knowledgeable and good-natured, always ready for a chat and making sure everyone has a brilliant time, whether you're there for a quick drink or a full evening.
-
They've got events like open mic nights that add a fun twist, making it a great spot for something a bit different from the usual pub crawl.
-
It's got a solid selection of beers on tap alongside the premium spirits, so there's something for most tastes if you're not strictly a cocktail person.
Cons
-
It's closed on Mondays, which means you'll have to plan your nights out around that if you're hoping for a mid-week visit.
-
With a moderate price level, drinks can feel a tad on the pricey side for everyday enjoyment, so it might not be ideal if you're watching the pennies.
-
The focus is more on cocktails and spirits, so if you're after a straightforward, no-fuss pint in a traditional pub setting, it could fall a bit short.

Always love coming into the Gantry, great cocktails, lovely knowledgeable bar staff and great place to hang out
Listen, the atmosphere, the staff, the food — unmatched. If you ever feel down in the dumps — head on round.
Stopped in for some cocktails with friends last night. No issue getting a table, plenty of selection available with some beers on tap too. Staff are great and will make cocktails not shown on the menu. Look forward to our next visit!
Wonderful afternoon at a private cocktail masterclass. So much fun and we learned a lot too. Amazing, chilled out vibe and Jason was fantastic at showing us how to make the cocktails. So patient with us. Thank you.
Cocktails were top notch, they've a menu, however if you ask bar staff they'll accommodate you for any cocktail you choose. Also Tuesday night is open mic night for music......Worth a drink. Check it out!
