King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut

The best live venue in the city according to, well, everyone.

Nice and Sleazy’s

Grimy and filthy – the dirtiest but best sounding rock ‘n’ roll bar in the city.

Tinderbox

The biggest cups of coffee in the city for joyous, bottomless slurping.

SECC

It’s called a conference centre for a reason - gigs here are vacant.

Wetherspoons

No music, no atmosphere, your mum drinks here. Say no more.

Starbucks

There are five of them – all exactly the same, as lifeless as each other.

Glasgow City Guide

Glasgow has the greatest music scene in the UK without exception. Some heathens in London will tell you that they lead the charge in setting the musical agenda for the UK but, when you look at the facts, you’ll see that Glasgow has been at the forefront for years and will continue to do so for many to come. Yes, we’re responsible for The MacDonald Brothers, but Biffy Clyro, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol (we’re claiming them despite the fact they’re Irish!) and The Fratellis have more than made up for it. Also, the emergence of lovely ladies such as Amy MacDonald and KT Tunstall have proved that it’s not just the guys that are rocking it in Scotland’s biggest city.
