Most of the venues you’ll find in Glasgow are restaurants, pubs and bars with function rooms. What’s great about these places is that you can have your private party and then keep the party going in the pub later on. Karaoke, anyone? There are plenty of options available in Glasgow to suit a whole range of tastes, including plush lounges with funky decor to more urban locales with graffiti and street art.
Hotel function rooms are also popular in Glasgow, and are generally to be found in the city centre or along the River Clyde. These venues are generally more traditionally decorated and are well suited for dinner parties and other formal private functions.
You’ll find most of Glasgow’s function rooms in and around the city centre. Mitchell Street, which becomes West Nile Street, and nearby Renfield Street are prime locations from which to start your search. You can also expand your hunt to the restaurants, pubs and bars in the south-east, and the bustling Merchant City district.
In Hillhead, near the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, which forms part of the city’s West End, you’ll find a selection of bars and restaurants with private function rooms. They generally tend to be clustered in and around Byres Road.
If you find yourself on the opposite side of the River Clyde in Glasgow’s Southside, you will discover a handful of venues offering private function rooms. Eglinton Street, Nelson Street and Norfolk Street are also good places to start your search.
