Entertainment
Glasgow is Scotland's entertainment city, from classical music, fine theatres and ballet to
cracking nightclubs pumping out state-of-the-art hip-hop, electro, or techno, to cheesy
chart tunes and contemporary Scottish bands at the cutting edge of modern music.

Nightclubs
Glasgow has one of Britain's biggest and best clubbing scenes, attracting devotees from
afar. Glaswegians usually hit clubs after the pubs have closed, so many clubs offer dis-
counted admission and cheaper drinks if you go before 10.30pm. Entry costs £5 to £10
(up to £25 for big events), although bars often hand out free passes. By law, clubs shut at
3am, so keep your ear to the ground to find out where the after-parties are at.
