Sorry, the places listed below don't have online bookings available, but we hope you still find this list useful for your night out!


The Ben Nevis

The Ben Nevis is home to folk sessions in Glasgow three nights a week. With Scottish trad music very much alive and well in the Argyle Street bar, contemporary players bring the session to every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 9pm. With cracking tunes and whisky flowing, it's a bustling Glasgow night out.
