About This Pub

Ah, Whisky Joe's in Paisley – it's one of those spots that really pulls you in with its charm, but it's not without a few rough patches, if you ask me. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home, which is just what you want on a night out. The atmosphere is buzzing, especially with live music and karaoke lighting up the weekends, and they've got a solid lineup of drinks that could keep anyone happy for hours. It's that family-run feel that gives it an extra layer of warmth, like popping into a local favourite. On the flip side, though, it does get crammed full at times, which might put you off if you're not in the mood for a squeeze. And honestly, there's a recent review that's a bit of a warning bell, calling it tacky and raising some concerns about the crowd – not ideal for everyone. Still, with an overall solid rating, it's worth swinging by if you're up for a bit of fun, just go in with your eyes open and you'll likely have a grand time.

Nice friendly bar. Family owned and run. It's long and narrow - can be very busy, which is alright - if you like that sort of thing. Live music or karaoke quite often.
