Located on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, Nice N Sleazy is a venue most popular for hosting live music downstairs almost every night. Sleazy’s is a great place to listen to up-and-coming bands, as well as being able to enjoy a drink with your friends. The venue closes at 3am every day of the week making it a good place to spend a night out with your friends!  

The Counting House 

A night out in Glasgow is never complete without a trip to Wetherspoons. Located at George Square, The Counting House is a good place to start your night out with your friends, or end the night before you get the last train home. With reasonably priced drinks, there isn’t much to complain about! 

Kitty O’Shea’s 

Kitty’s is a very well-known Irish Bar not just in Glasgow, but in the whole of Scotland, with locations in Edinburgh, Glasgow Central and Glasgow’s West End. If you fancy a Guinness and some good music, then this may be the place for you.
