Glasgow is home to around 160,000 students, so you can bet the nightlife is a force to be reckoned with. From funky themed bars on Bath Street to cheap cocktails in the West End, there are numerous student bars to keep you young'uns watered. Just make sure the library and essays come first... ah, never mind, who are we kidding?




Walkabout Glasgow

This party bar near Sauchiehall Street is inspired by Australia, decorated in surfboards and graffiti. They boast huge screens showing all the big sporting events, as well as a tasty menu of burgers and small plates. But once day turns to night, expect fantastic DJ sets and a lively atmosphere on the dancefloor, as this place keeps the tunes going until 3am on Saturdays. Check out their affordable cocktails and beers while you're here as well.
