About This Pub

Ah, the Sportsman Bar in Rutherglen – what a belter of a spot it is! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that warm, welcoming feel where you can just pop in for a couple of pints and end up having a brilliant time. The staff really stand out; they're quick, polite, and go the extra mile, like helping with drinks to your table or keeping things tidy. Prices are fair too, so it's easy on the wallet, and they've got live bands, karaoke, and even a nice beer garden for when the weather's playing ball. It's no wonder folks are raving about it with a solid 4.6 rating – sounds like a place where you can have a right good laugh. On the flip side, the opening hours can be a tad unpredictable, particularly on Sundays, so you might want to double-check before heading out. And without a website, it's a bit of a faff to get the lowdown online. All in all, though, it's a fantastic choice for a casual meet-up or to catch some entertainment; I'd say give it a go if you're in the area – you won't be disappointed!

Lovely afternoon in the Sportsman bar. Service was quick and very polite. Live entertainment, a band called Keeper Lit, played a variety of songs.

Great bar cannot fault the staff, they helped bring drinks to our table, cleared away empties on a regular basis. Prices are fab. There was karaoke on, and everyone was in great spirit and friendly. Will definitely be back.
