Advantages: Location, Prices

Disadvantages: Atmosphere, Size

Sporto is of course Glasgows premier sports bar, because it is Glasgows only sports bar!!!
Its opening was over-hyped with promise of a great American style Sports bar. The results are accurate, but a bit dissapointing.

Sporto is decorated in Sports style with paraphenalia and memorabilia covering the walls, but the atmosphere is lacking when it gets quiet. The staff look like they have just come from the gym, which I'm sure was not the intention of the managers.

Sporto has the advantage of numerous TV screens, displaying music channels as well as sports. Events coverage is good, as expected.

On 2 levels, upstairs is a bit dark, and right next to the kitchens. The downstairs bar is brighter with more action and noise. Although rather small considering that it intends to pack itself with people on match days.

Drinks are reasonably priced with occasional promotions.

Location is good, opposite Glasgows Central Train station, a good stop off for visitor arriving in and leaving the city.

In general, Sporto promises a good evening if you like that kind of atmosphere and theme. The American theme is shrouded by the pure Glasweigan-ess of the staff and clientele, some may consider that a good thing.

Try it.
