Hudsons in East Kilbride

Ah, Hudsons – what a gem tucked away in the heart of East Kilbride. I've got to say, it's one of those pubs that just makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, always up for a chat or helping out, which really adds to that community spirit. You'll find locals popping in for a breakfast or a quick drink, and it's lovely how everyone says hello, making it feel like you're part of the gang. The drinks are a highlight too – affordable and with a great selection, whether you're after a smooth pint, a dram of whisky, or something from their cocktail list. And if you're into events, they've got bingo with massive prizes, open-mic nights, and even live music or DJs on weekends, plus all the big sports on multiple screens so you won't miss a goal or a try. On the flip side, it can get quite busy during these events, which might not suit if you're after a completely quiet catch-up, and while they've got menus for food, it's the drinks and vibe that steal the show rather than anything groundbreaking on the plate. Overall, it's a solid spot for a good time without breaking the bank, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in Glasgow – just pick your time wisely for the atmosphere you fancy!
