1. SWG3

Music is food for the soul – a mantra that resonates with the famous live music scene of Glasgow and SWG3 Complex plays host to a multitude of different types of musical events all year round. With a bohemian vibe, chilled out décor, super friendly staff, and a fabulous music scene, this warehouse space offers you an unforgettable experience that would make you want to revisit it every year with friends and family.

 

2. Sub Club

With a legacy of nearly 25 years, the Sub Club on Jamaica Street in Glasgow is a gimmick-free, no-frills and unpretentious small basement room that churns out mind-blowing tunes. Its top-notch sound system, a body-sonic vibrating dance floor, and a tempting line-up of DJs makes it one of the top music bars, not just in Glasgow but also in the whole of the UK.

 

3. The DryGate Brewing Co.

This is Glasgow’s first experiential brewery that provides a 24-hectolitre craft brewery and a small ‘Studio Kit’ brewery space where local enthusiasts can brew their own beers with input from the experts. The overall vibe here is refined industrial with a warm palate and also hosts a full-service restaurant that is separated from the brewing space by larger glass windows, an open space for events, and a rooftop terrace to enjoy craft beers.

 

4. Tennents Brewery

Located right in the middle of West end, is this typical old-fashioned Glasgow pub with high ceilings, wooden panelled walls with worn out paintings and photographs. The Tennents Bar offers a plethora of real and cheap ales, lagers and beers, accompanied by a tasty pub food menu. A low-key historical spot to visit while enjoying a game of football.

 

5. Oran Mor

A grand converted church located at the top of Byres Road, Oran Mor offers two separate bars, one for all the whiskey enthusiasts while the other opens up on weekend nights and caters to champagne and cocktails. An unusual venue for musical gigs and concerts, it also caters to well-heeled drinkers and diners till the wee hours of the morning.

 

Happy Tripping!
