Glasgow Green is once again preparing to welcome thousands of concertgoers as TRNSMT festival returns to the city for the ninth time.
Several notable names are set to take to the main stage in the park this summer with the likes of Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and Lewis Capaldi headlining the festival.
Here are some of the best bars you can head to near Glasgow Green before TRNSMT 2026.

Saint Luke’s is the perfect place to stop by before heading to TRNSMT. They have a terrific beer garden space and a great range of food and drinks with it only being a stone’s throw away from Glasgow Green. 17 Bain Street, Glasgow G40 2JZ. | Saint Luke’s & The Winged Ox
2. McChuills
McChuills is the ultimate place to head to if you are looking for a good selection of tunes and pints before heading to TRNSMT. 80 High Street, Glasgow G1 1NL. | McChuills

4. WEST on the Green
If you fancy sampling some of Glasgow’s freshest beer with it being brewed downstairs in accordance to Reinheitsegebot, the German Purity Law of 1516 then West on the Green is the place to head to for a few pints ahead of TRNSMT with them being the closest venue to the east entrance.
