About Trumans

Truman’s Bar blends style and soul in central Glasgow. It's a space for post-work drinks, weekend catch-ups, or the start of a night out. Warm lighting, rich tones, and a polished two-level – these are some of the features we're known for!

Choose between the buzz of the main bar or a quieter downstairs space. Hosting a private event? Truman’s offers two hireable spaces:

The Snug is a cosy room suited for birthdays, small celebrations, or casual gatherings. Private, but with the bar’s signature warmth.

The Show is a larger, flexible space ideal for parties, team socials, networking, or bespoke events. Sophisticated yet relaxed, with adaptable layouts.

Both spaces include tailored drinks packages, optional food, and dedicated staff to ensure smooth service.
