Function rooms are a great choice: they are versatile and suitable for basically any event. However, we understand that can make it even more difficult to figure out which one is the best fit! But don’t worry, there are a few tricks to ensure you’re making the right decision:
- Visualise your event. When you think of the event you’re planning, what does it look and feel like? Having a clear vision of what you want to achieve will lay the path for a successful search and booking.
- Determine all the technical details. Following your vision is important, but don’t forget about all the other important factors. Write down the date, number of guests, and budget and adjust the search filters on our website accordingly to find the best fits in Glasgow.
- Think of the activities. What will be happening at the event? Is it going to be a party that calls for a large dance floor and great audio system? A conference using projectors and microphones? The agenda will determine what facilities you’re looking for in your perfect function room in Glasgow.
- Check the catering options. You can go for a function room that allows external catering and hire a service, but there are many venues with in-house catering in Glasgow! Just check what the offers are and mark any special dietary requirements in our search filters to find function rooms that can accommodate your guests’ needs.
- Make sure the location is convenient for everyone. Read descriptions and zoom in on our map to see what public transport links, major roadways, and parking options are available near the Glasgow function rooms.
If you keep all of these things in mind, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect function space in no time at all! Good luck!
Your Guide to Hiring Function Rooms in Glasgow
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.
