A restaurant has apologised to a Glasgow actor after he was 'kicked out'. 

Former Doctor Who and Torchwood star John Barrowman recently visited McMenamins Elks Temple in Tacoma, Washington, U.S.

And the Mount Vernon-born actor revealed to his Instagram followers that he and his friend were told 'politely' not to eat there.

He said: "Basically in a polite way, the gentleman guided us out of one restaurant and took us into another and kind of persuaded us not to come in.”

John then panned the camera to his friend, who said: "Kicked us out."

The actor then added: "Not a good recommendation. McMenamins - McNot!"

The video has since received over 17,000 likes and comments from fans 

A spokesperson for the restaurant then commented on the video: "Oh no! So sorry to hear this happened! We’ll shoot you a DM and help get to the bottom of this."
