With stunning interiors, a vibrant party crowd, plenty of Haggis and Guiness flowing from the taps, Waxy's is plenty more than your everyday Irish pub. This is a vast space which quickly fills up with a sports mad crowd when the big events roll around; join them for some Irish stew and a couple of cheeky whisky shots while you enjoy the live coverage. Our top pick for places to watch Rio 2016 in Glasgow's Merchant City.
If you're seeking a homely pub showing the Olympics in Glasgow, it's got to be The Curler's Rest. Sitting pretty in the West End, artworks don the walls of this 600-year old boozer to give off a stripped-back and familiar vibe. Plonk yourself in front of the tele and get comfortable for a day of athletics viewing; there's 19 speciality beers and a food menu that changes on a daily basis.
