These are the 11 best bars in Glasgow to catch live music:
King Tuts
It's probably the most well-known live music bar in the city and there's a reason for that. The St Vincent Street pub has seen some megastars perform there in their early days.
Maggie Mays
The Trongate pub hosts live music several nights a week in both its basement and upstairs locations.
Stereo
Perhaps one of the more quirky venues on our list, Stereo hosts an upstairs vegan cafe and a downstairs performance space for live music.
13th Note
The King Street venue is also a fan of the vegan lifestyle and can hold 100 people within its basement location. It also hosts song writing nights.
The Howlin' Wolf
Famous for its blues performances, this bar hosts a southern US themed menu and decor to take you right back to the blues era. You can find it on Bath Street.
The Scotia Bar
It's said to be the oldest pub in the city, dating back as far as the 18th century. But the Stockwell Street pub still holds a place in the modern music industry, with performances from some of the countries biggest names regularly taking place here.
Blackfriars
This Bell Street pub has a little bit of everything, from music to comedy and everything in between, there's always something going on in this pub.
