Glasgow has the best nightlife in Scotland - there’s no doubt about that - with hundreds of pubs (many of which in the city centre have a late-night license) and dozens of nightclubs spread in every corner of the city.
Whether they’re long lost clubs of yesteryear, clubs that have been open for generations, or brand new clubs that are taking Glasgow’s nightlife scene by storm - today we’re looking at the best nightclubs of Glasgow.
We asked our audience: What was the best nightclub of all time in Glasgow? Here’s the most popular responses.
5. Cardinal Follies
Housed inside an impressive-looking former church, Cardinal Follies was a favourite amongst students of the 80s. It has also been known as The Shack and The Temple over the years, but sadly the building was destroyed in a fire in 2004 and the building was demolished soon after.
6. Maestro's

7. Tuxedo Princess
There's nothing that screams '1980s' quite like a party ship with a revolving dancefloor called the Tuxedo Princess. The boat was anchored at Broomielaw for a few years during the late 80s and early 90s before it set sail and returned to Newcastle. Photo: Craig A Rodway\Flickr
8. Volcano
As featured in Trainspotting, Volcano wasn’t in fact in Edinburgh - but in Partick, and was a long-standing favourite of Glaswegians. It was previously known as Cinders Disco, then Raffles before being purchased by Colin Barr in 1989. | Contributed
