Merchant City has a rich history of trading and business, as well as being one of the city’s oldest districts. Now, it’s building a reputation as a lively and cool district, with plenty going on. Here you can find some more arty pub venues, which are adaptable in nature and trendy in design. This includes large and customisable courtyards and stylish balconies, as well as smaller locals, all of which are in close proximity to the High Street. This is a great spot for people looking for a more quirky event venue, rich with traditional Glaswegian spirit and humour. Elsewhere, Glasgow’s West End and Southside offer some nice alternatives to the boisterous character of the city centre. Located in much greener surroundings than the rest of the city, these areas are highly welcoming and community based. Venue-wise, expect to find some homely pub style cafes and restaurants with top quality food, service, and ambience. 

Yes, it’s actually possible to hire a function room in a pub for free! When looking for a venue, search for ones operating on a minimum spend basis. This way, you won’t have to pay for hiring the venue, but you and your guests will spend the minimum agreed-upon amount on drinks and food. Keep in mind that if you fail to meet the minimum spend by the end of your event, you will have to pay the remaining amount. Additional charges, like a service or cleaning fee, may also apply, so make sure to ask the venue manager about these before finalising your booking.
