Nightclub entertainment in Glasgow

  1. A

    Arches

    R-e-s-p-e-c-t is the mantra with the Arches. The Godfather of Glaswegian clubs, it has a design based around hundreds of arches slammed together, and is a must for funk and hip-hop freaks. It is one of the city's biggest clubs pulling top DJs, and you'll also hear some of the UK's up-and-coming turntable spinners. It's off Jamaica St.

    The Buff Club

    Tucked away in a laneway behind the Bath Street bar strip, this club is open nightly and presents eclectic, honest music without dress pretensions. The sounds vary substantially depending on the night, and can range from hip-hop to disco via electronica. It's more down-to-earth than many Glasgow venues, and has seriously cheap drinks midweek.

    Classic Grand

    Rock, industrial, electronic, and powerpop grace the stage and the turntables at this unpretentious central venue. It doesn't take itself too seriously, drinks are cheap and the locals are welcoming.

    Tunnel

    Tunnel is a Glasgow classic with two spaces and a good variety of sounds. It's fairly dressy for Glasgow. Saturdays are great here, with hip-hop and RnB in one zone, and house in the other.

    Art School

    An impressive occasional venue in the Glasgow School of Art (would CRM have approved?), this is where the style-cats of the student world hang out in force. It's a welcoming place and the dance nights are legendary. Cheap booze and a good selection of DJs rounds off the happy picture.
