From quirky pubs, to funky clubs where the cool kids hang out, Glasgow is full of opportunities for a wee tipple.
For a quirky night you'll struggle to remember, Hillhead Bookclub is complete with ping-pong, retro computer games and bingo. With 3 floors and 6 bars, Waxy O'Connor's is a wooded forest of both Irish and Glasweigan indulgences.
For live music, head to King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, described by NME as "quite possibly the finest small venue in the world." In the East End, BrewDog are opening their first Hopworks, a homebrew emporium with an epic bar and beer terrace for those Glasweigan summer sessions.
Burger Joints
It's impossible to talk about Glasgow's food scene without mentioning their burger joints.
Winner of Scotland's Best Burger 2016, Bread Meats Bread has gourmet burgers for meat lovers, veggies and vegans alike. If you've ever referred to yourself as The Dude, while sipping on a White Russian, Lebowskis is a bowling themed homage to the 1998 film with legendary burgers and live music.
For Argentinian steaks or high-stacked burgers, CAU Glasgow will satisfy your meat craving served up in a sleek setting. Others to check out include BRGR Glasgow, and Steak, Cattle & Roll – home to the mammoth burger challenge. Save your pennies by staying with Euro Hostel Glasgow and spend the rest of your budget on these meat-sweats-inducing burger joints.
Glasgow will be any shopaholic's downfall.
From Argyle Street, to the newly refurbed St Enoch Centre and the upmarket Buchanan Street, Glasgow's 'Style Mile' is irresistible for anyone either after a high-street bargain or designer splurge.
Indoor shopping centres include Princes Square (voted Scotland's best building), Glasgow Fort, Silverburn and The Forge. Our recommendations aside, you won't struggle for somewhere to spend your surplus cash during your stay. Check out the Barras (weekend flea market) in the East End for vintage stalls and antiques.
If you've come to Glasgow for a dance, your feet may not thank you – but you can thank us later!
Glasgow's clubbing scene attracts world-renowned DJs, as well as epic bands and raucous sound systems. It doesn't matter what music genre you're into, the clubs cover everything from grime, to house, pop and indie. The Flying Duck is a wee, self-proclaimed cheeky subterranean club in the City Centre. Head here for live music and DJ nights, plus cheap drinks every day.
If you believe the smaller the venue the better, Nice 'n' Sleazy is for you. They believe that small capacity creates atmospheric musical intimacy. Their offbeat approach includes nights like Weirdo Wednesdays and a drool-worthy Japanese menu. Others to check out are Viper – featuring retro tuck shop and arcade games – the glam, glittery Sugar Cube and warehouse venue SWG3.
From huge, world-renowned stadiums to intimate, bassy bars – the live music scene in Glasgow is amongst the best in Britain.
The SSE Hydro has a capacity of 13,000 and has been filled with acts from Grammy-award winners, to Internationally-acclaimed comedians and sporting events. Unlike the glitz and glamour of the Hydro, the O2 ABC in Glasgow on the famous Sauchiehall Street is steeped in musical history. Listings here are impressive, constantly showcasing some of the best emerging artists and live acts.
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut are the epitome of size isn't everything. Holding only 300, some of the biggest names in the business graced this small stage in their early days, including Oasis and The Killers. Plus, they serve up their very own King Tut's Lager.

Glasgow is considered one of the world's top 5 sporting locations
2018 will see the city co-host the European Championships with Berlin, promising a new era of world sport.

Home to Celtic Football Club, Parkhead (or "Paradise" by The Bhoys), is the largest football stadium in Scotland.
One of the most innovative sporting venues in the city is the SSE Hydro. Hosting over 140 events a year, it is considered one of the busiest arenas in the world, alongside huge names such as Madison Square Garden and London's O2 Arena.
