Hudsons

4.6(786 reviews)
92/100
Hudsons in East Kilbride is a cracking little pub with a warm, welcoming feel, top-notch staff, and plenty of events to keep things entertaining – it's a real favourite for a relaxed pint or a lively night.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and really make you feel welcome, like chatting with old mates.
  • It's got a brilliant community vibe, with friendly locals and events like bingo and open-mic nights that keep things lively and fun.
  • Affordable drinks and great selections, from tasty pints to a huge range of whiskies and vodkas, all at brilliant prices.
  • They show loads of live sports on multiple screens, so it's perfect if you're into footy or rugby and don't want to miss a match.
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it can be cosy and quiet when you need it, or buzzing with events, and they've got free Wi-Fi and accessible facilities to boot.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might get a bit crowded during big events like bingo or live sports, which could make it tricky if you're after a really peaceful evening.
  • From what I've seen, the food options are mentioned but not raved about as much as the drinks and atmosphere, so it might not be the first choice for a full meal out.
  • Being a typical pub, it closes fairly late but starts at 11am, which means early birds might miss out on a quiet morning spot.

92/100
The Auldhouse Arms is a delightful Scottish pub in East Kilbride, blending cosy charm with tasty, inventive food and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely lovely – it's got that warm, cosy Scottish pub feel that makes you want to settle in for the evening, with a touch of rustic charm and friendly vibes all around.
  • The food is a real highlight; they use fresh, local ingredients to create delicious dishes, from hearty steaks to vibrant salads and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that change daily – and it's all great value, like their £10 steak night or two courses for £25.
  • Service is spot on; the staff are welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, whether it's for a quick drink or a full meal.
  • They've got a fantastic lineup of events, like live music, ceilidh nights, and family-friendly gatherings, which really bring the community together and add to the fun.
  • It's dog-friendly in the Wee Bar, so you can pop in with your furry friend for a pint without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Tuesdays, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're planning a mid-week outing.
  • Dogs aren't allowed in the main restaurant, so if you're dining in there, you might have to leave your four-legged mate behind.
  • The menu changes daily based on what's fresh, which is great for variety but means dietary options aren't always guaranteed – you'd need to check in advance if you've got specific needs.
  • Being tucked away in a village spot, it might not be the easiest place to get to if you're not local, and it can get quite busy, especially on event nights.

Brew 74 is a cracking little pub in East Kilbride with top-notch food, a warm welcome, and family-friendly vibes, though keep an eye on those portion sizes and opening days.

The Montgomerie Arms is a delightful historic pub in East Kilbride with a warm, welcoming vibe, cracking drinks, and a touch of live music, though it could do with a freshen-up here and there.

The Bonnie Prince Charlie was a cracking little pub in East Kilbride with friendly staff and tasty grub, but it's sadly closed now, leaving us all a bit gutted.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – from what I've heard, folks like Cara, Natalie, and Kyle go out of their way to make you feel welcome with their friendly chats and top-notch service.
  • The food and drinks are a real highlight; reviews rave about delicious meals and cocktails that are reasonably priced, perfect for a casual night out.
  • It had a lively atmosphere with fun events like karaoke, making it a great spot for a laugh and some good times with mates.
  • Overall, it's got a stellar reputation with a 4.5 rating from heaps of positive feedback, showing it was a favourite in the community.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's heartbreaking to say, but the pub has closed its doors for good, so you won't be able to pop in for a pint anytime soon.
  • With it being shut, all that great service and vibe is on hold, which means missing out on what sounded like a proper local gem.

Carrigan's East Kilbride is a cracking little pub with delicious food, warm service, and a welcoming feel, though you might have to navigate some parking woes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – fresh, wholesome, and packed with flavour, like that Tex Mex Chicken or the steak pie that just melts in your mouth.
  • Staff are so friendly and welcoming; they make you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or a family dinner.
  • It's a proper cosy spot with a lovely atmosphere, blending that old-fashioned charm with a relaxed vibe, perfect for catching up with mates.

  • They're family-oriented, with attentive service that caters to everyone, making it a brilliant choice for a Sunday lunch or special occasion.
Areas for Improvement
  • The car park can be a right pain, especially when it's busy – you might end up circling for ages or dealing with spaces taken by those who shouldn't.
  • It seems like they might get a bit overwhelmed at peak times, as one review mentioned struggling with portions or waits, though that's not too common.

East Kilbride Harvester is a warm, family-oriented spot with top-notch service and a welcoming vibe, but it sometimes struggles with food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service is absolutely spot-on, with friendly staff who go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome – it's like chatting with old mates.
  • It's a brilliant choice for families, offering a diverse menu with something for all ages, including unlimited salad and plenty of vegetarian options.

Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be inconsistent; some dishes, like the chicken or veggies, might turn out a bit dry or undercooked, which is a shame.
  • Prices feel a tad steep for what you get, especially when the meals don't always hit the mark in terms of flavour or presentation.
  • Certain items, such as vegan options, might miss key ingredients, leaving you wanting more from the experience.

Mo Chara Irish Bar in East Kilbride is a cracking little spot with top-notch pints, live music, and friendly vibes, though it does get busy now and then.
Pros and Cons

  • It's got a lovely atmosphere with live music that really gets the crowd going.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, like that cheap Tennents Lager that's a bargain.

  • Only open five days a week, so you might have to plan around that if you're keen to pop in.
  • The website is just an Instagram page, so there's not much info online to get you excited beforehand.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's a quiet and friendly neighbourhood spot, ideal for a chilled evening or even bringing your dog along for the fun.

  • The place is clean with easy access, including a disabled toilet, and there's a pool table for a bit of entertainment.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours aren't always spot on – one chap mentioned it was meant to open at 12:00 but didn't until 14:00, which could throw off your plans.
  • They don't serve any food, so you'll have to pop in with your own or head elsewhere for a bite.
  • It can be a bit quiet at times, which might not suit if you're after a lively buzz rather than a laid-back vibe.

Leeburn Table Table is a welcoming pub in East Kilbride that's spot on for a relaxed meal with mates – think tasty grub, friendly faces, and good value, though it has its quirks like any spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think delicious pizzas, hearty gammon steaks, and new lunch deals starting from just £5, making it a brilliant spot for a wallet-friendly meal.
  • The staff are always so welcoming and efficient; they've got that friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for breakfast or a full dinner.
  • It's got a lovely, homely atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or watching live sports like the Premier League on TNT – even if you miss the game, they show the highlights.
  • Great value for money, with options to add starters or desserts for a steal, and it's conveniently located next to a Premier Inn for those staying over.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes might not look as appealing as they taste, like the garlic mushrooms that one person said looked a bit shop-bought, which could put you off at first glance.
  • It can feel a tad like a standard chain pub, similar to a glorified Wetherspoons in some ways, so if you're after something more unique, it might not quite hit the mark.
  • Booking ahead is a must, especially in the evenings, as it can get busy and you don't want to miss out on a table.

  • Ideal for hosting events or parties in their function suite – folks have raved about how well it works for birthdays and anniversaries.
Areas for Improvement
  • Under-18s are only allowed for private functions, so it might not suit families looking for a casual outing any time.

All in all, it's a reliable spot for a comfortable overnight stay with fantastic staff, but it's starting to show its age and the restaurant vibes might be on the wane.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, like sorting out an early check-in or offering helpful tips.
  • Rooms are comfy with all the essentials, including a powerful shower, free Wi-Fi, and tea-making facilities for a proper cuppa after a long day.
  • Free on-site parking is a real bonus, especially if you're driving around Glasgow.
  • It's got a welcoming vibe for families and those with accessibility needs, with options like family rooms and adapted bathrooms.
  • The food's a highlight, with mentions of a top-notch chef and solid breakfasts that set you up nicely for the day.
Areas for Improvement
  • The place looks a bit tired and dated in spots, which might put you off if you're after something more modern.
  • There's some uncertainty with the restaurant – it seems like it might be closing soon, which is a shame for a quick bite or evening meal.
  • A couple of reviews mentioned it feeling like a dump at first glance, so it might not wow you straight away.
  • No clear operating hours listed, which could be a hassle if you're planning a visit and want to know when things are open.
  • It's part of a hotel setup, so if you're just popping in for a drink or meal, it might feel more functional than cosy like a traditional pub.

  • It's got that lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The staff are super friendly and always up for a chat, which really adds to the local pub vibe.
  • Loads of fun things to do, like pool, darts, live music, and karaoke every Saturday from 9pm – perfect for a good laugh with mates.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced with well-kept options like Guinness, and they've got SKY TV for catching the big games.
  • They've a function room that's great for smaller events or gatherings, making it versatile for all sorts of occasions.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few incidents with unruly behaviour, and it seems the staff don't always step in quickly enough to sort things out.
  • Some events, like the DJ nights, can fall flat if the music choices aren't up to scratch, which has put a damper on parties before.
  • The heating can be a bit hit or miss, especially in the summer when it might feel a tad chilly inside.
  • Access is mostly via stairs, which isn't ideal if you're not keen on steps or have mobility concerns.

Amazing home made food at equally amazing prices. There's no frills about this place but it oozes community friendliness. And the bar woman, Danielle, couldn't be more helpful. I recommend 100%.

What's Great
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales that rotate regularly, always fresh and well-kept – perfect if you're a fan of a good pint.

The Village Inn

5.0(2 reviews)
75/100
The Village Inn in East Kilbride is a hidden gem of a pub with top-notch vibes, thanks to its friendly staff, cracking live music, and spacious beer garden – though it could do with a bit more buzz online.
Pros and Cons

  • It's in a great location, easy to get to and surrounded by the charm of Glasgow's outskirts.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a couple of reviews out there, it might not be the most well-known spot yet, so you could be taking a bit of a chance.
  • The opening hours seem a bit limited, mostly just five days a week and wrapping up early, which might not suit everyone’s plans.
  • No website or online presence means it's tricky to check menus or events in advance – a bit of a hassle in this digital age.

Oystercatcher in East Kilbride is a cosy, welcoming pub with tasty, affordable grub and cheerful service, making it a go-to for families and sports enthusiasts, though it has its quieter moments and the odd greasy dish.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and great value for money, with classics that really hit the spot and fill you up without breaking the bank.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a quick chat and making sure everyone feels right at home.

  • It can feel a tad quiet at times, especially if you're hoping for a more lively atmosphere to get the evening buzzing.
  • There are occasional niggles about food quality, such as wondering if some ingredients are fresh or just bought in, which takes a bit of the shine off.

65/100
The Cmon Inn in East Kilbride is a traditional pub with a warm, local charm that's cherished by some, but it falls short with occasional unwelcoming attitudes and upkeep issues.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that classic community vibe, with friendly regulars who are always up for a good chat and make you feel right at home if you're a local.
  • From what some folks say, the staff can be wonderfully kind and welcoming, creating a cosy spot for a pint and a catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems a bit exclusive, with stories of visitors being turned away just for not being from the area, which can leave you feeling a tad awkward.
  • There are mentions of rude staff and poor conditions, like dirty facilities and a less-than-ideal atmosphere that might put you off.
  • A few accounts suggest discriminatory behaviour, which is disappointing and could make certain groups feel uncomfortable.

Kilbryde Arms

Kilbryde Arms is a bit of an unknown quantity in East Kilbride – a quaint cottage pub with potential charm, but lacking any buzz or info to back it up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's situated in a charming cottage in East Kilbride, which could make for a cosy, traditional pub vibe.
  • Being in the Glasgow area, it might offer that authentic Scottish hospitality we're all after.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's absolutely no reviews or ratings to gauge what it's like, which makes it a bit of a gamble.
  • It appears to be closed at the moment, or at least that's what the info suggests, so you might turn up and find the doors shut.
  • No website, phone number, or operating hours listed, which means it's tricky to plan a visit or get any details in advance.
