Arches
(

;
253 Argyle St)
A one-stop culture-entertainment fix, Arches
doubles as a theatre showing contemporary, avant-garde productions and there's also a
club. The hotel-like entrance belies the deep interior, which make you feel as though
you've discovered Hades' bohemian underworld. The crowd is mixed - hiking boots are
as welcome as Versace.
BAR
Corinthian
(

;
191 Ingram St; )
A breathtaking domed ceiling and
majestic chandeliers make Corinthian an awesome venue. Originally a bank and later
Glasgow's High Court, this regal building's main bar has to be seen to be believed. Cosy
wraparound seating and space to spare are complemented by a snug wine bar and a plush
club downstairs in old court cells.
BAR
Drum & Monkey
(

;
93-95 St Vincent St)
Dark wood and marble columns frame this attract-
ive drinking emporium, peppered with church pews and leather lounge chairs. Its cosy and
relaxing vibe makes you want to curl up in an armchair with a pint for the afternoon. Its
central location makes it popular with businessfolk after work.
PUB
Bar 10
(

;
10 Mitchell Lane)
A tiny city treasure that will cause the canny
Glasgow drinker to give you a knowing glance if you mention its name. As laid-back as
you could ask for in a hip city bar, the friendly, tuned-in staff complete the happy picture.
It transforms from a quiet daytime bar to a happening weekend pub on Friday and
Saturday nights. It also does decent, cheap panini, salads, and the like during the day.
