Glasgow's gay scene
has grown around the trendy bars in the newly redeveloped Merchant City, with the majority of venues being
found in Virginia Street, Wilson Street and Glassford
Street. One of the most famous gay pubs in the city is Sadie Frost’s [map], which is believed to be named after the British actress in honour of her performance in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Situated on West George Street close to the Queen Street train station, this trendy bar offers great cheesy music and a women’s only night on Sunday in the Blue Room. Another popular haunt for the chilled-out gay crowd is Delmonicas [map], or 'Dels' as it is affectionately known, which is located in Virginia Street. This place has recently had a redesign to keep up with the general trend in Merchant City, and now boasts lots of glass, mirrors and vistas. Next door you’ll find Moda[map], a somewhat quieter, more atmospheric meeting place where you can catch up with your mates or relax with your lover. There is a mix of straight and gay clientele here. One of the newest kids on the block is Revolver Bar [map] on John Street, an intimate little basement bunker with plenty of charm and some great theme nights. From the newest to the oldest pub on the gay scene, The Waterloo [map] on Argyle Street mainly attracts older drinkers and the horde of regulars. For the ultimate in cool then head to Bar 10 [map] in the heart of Glasgow’s gay scene, where it’s good to look great. Despite the majority of them being serious trendsetters, the regulars here are as friendly and chatty as they are well dressed. Tasty food is served throughout the day while the pre-club DJs put you in the mood for partying in the evenings and at weekends. It’s definitely the place to start a big night out. Glasgow’s most famous gay club Bennets [map] has been closed since May 2004 when it was severely damaged by fire. The club is now undergoing major restoration work but it’s likely that all the old favourites, such as women only nights, drinks promotions and two floors of dance and cheesy music, will be back soon. So at the moment, the choice of gay nightclubs is rather limited in Glasgow, but luckily the main venue, Polo Lounge [map] is a cool as ever. Some punters refuse to even step foot in here because it is ‘pretentious’ but don’t be fooled by its leather-and-oak gentlemen’s club décor. Whatever the critics’ say about it you’re sure to have a good night here as the club offers a great mix of classic pop music in The Trophy Room and dance in The Club Room. |
