Gay Bars in Glasgow

A cool basement bar, Katie's Bar offers an utterly mixed bag to Glasgow's gay nightlife. Resident hostess with the mostess, Nancy Clench, takes over at weekends for a pre-club party with a roster of disco tunes, and live shows with everything from game shows to giveaways. During the week expect great cafe bar food, live sports, pool, Glam-e-oke and throwback tunes. 

The Underground is home to a slightly older gay crowd in Glasgow. With something of a dive bar vibe, The Underground is a friendly John Street basement bar, with great drinks promos and fun events throughout the week. Along with regular karaoke and bingo, the Glasgow gay bar is also home to Glasgow's monthly Bear Night, as well as a quirky roster of live entertainment.

The Riding Room is a popular late night spot for Glasgow's LGBT community. An utterly raucous hangout, expect everything from cabaret and cocktails, or magic and music, to an absinthe-fuelled evening of debauched dancing. With secluded booths, or seats front and centre of the stage, this Glasgow gay bar is a great place to party, whether you're on a date or in a group. 

AXM is a gay club in Glasgow that's garnered a solid reputation and a loyal crowd of regulars. Open late five nights a week, AXM is home to both raucous party nights and a friendly, upbeat crowd. The Merchant City gay bar prides itself on a fun party atmosphere, top guest performers and excellent customer service. And with top tunes and quirky events, it delivers as one of the most popular gay clubs in Glasgow. 

Seven nights a week Speakeasy serves Glasgow's LGBTs with great eats, great drinks and great entertainment. Along with a stock of great DJs, resident hosts carry proceedings ranging from movie nights and karaoke, to camp club nights and midweek madness. With FHQ just upstairs, this joint is a one stop shop in which to party. 

A stylish lounge bar, Delmonica's is a great meeting spot in Merchant City. Chic decor, comfy seating and cool vibes make this a great spot for after work drinks mid-week or for kicking the night off at weekends. With passes for nearby gay clubs behind the bar, it's the ideal spot for a pre-club party, while a quieter mezzanine space makes a choice venue for birthday parties and private functions. 

While The Flying Duck isn't exclusively a gay bar, it is home to Glasgow's first indie gay night. Yes! is held on the first Friday of every month and is a gimmick-free gay night that's all about the music. Bring your dancing shoes for a stomping mix of old alt tunes and cutting edge indie.
