Glasgow is a city that still feels closely tied to the nineties, as the old Travis song goes.
It was a decade that helped shape the city’s modern identity, setting the scene for local pop culture and cementing Glasgow’s reputation as a magnet for creative people.
From legendary nights out to cafés and restaurants that have long since closed their doors, the 1990s left behind a trail of much-loved venues that still live on in the memories of Glaswegians who grew up in the city during that decade.
The decade began with Glasgow being named European City of Culture in 1990, a little band from Manchester called Oasis were discovered at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut by Alan McGee and Scotland were regulars at major international and European football tournaments.
Here are 22 bars, restaurants, cafés and nightclubs that transport Glaswegians back to the 1990s.
1. The Tunnel
There was The Arches for sweaty nights of 'taps aff' tunes, and then there was The Tunnel, Glasgow’s first superclub for Judge Jules, shinny shoes and multi-coloured Ted Baker shirts. | Supplied
2. Cardinal Follies
Housed inside an impressive-looking former church, Cardinal Follies was one of Glasgow's best disco spots in the 1990s. Later Temple, then The Shack, the building was destroyed in a fire in 2004 and then demolished soon after. | Scott Henderson
3. Fury Murrys
Found on Maxwell Street at the back of the St Enoch Centre, Fury Murry's was a popular hangout for cheap drinks and indie tunes back in the 1990s. Fran Healy drank here with his pals before finding fame with Travis. | Google Maps
4. Cafe Insomnia
If you were feeling a bit peckish after a late night at the dancing, people used to head for Cafe Insomnia on Woodlands Road. The 24-hour café closed its doors in 2006. | Google Maps
