Glasgow was the UK’s first UNESCO City of Music, and there is no doubt that we are spoiled with several great places to head to for live music.
No matter what day you fancy heading out for a drink, there will always be somewhere in the city that has live music on. Although many places have it on every night of the week, it generally really gets going at the weekend.
Whether you fancy getting the party going on a Friday night, prefer a traditional Saturday afternoon session or just want to dance the night away to the wee small hours - we have you covered with fourteen of the best spots to check out in Glasgow.
