Cathouse
(
www.cathouse.co.uk
;
15 Union St; Thu-Sun)
It's mostly rock, emo and metal at this
long-standing indie, goth and alternative venue. There are two dance floors: upstairs is
pretty intense with lots of metal and hard rock, downstairs is a little more tranquil.
NIGHTCLUB
Tunnel
(
www.tunnelglasgow.co.uk
;
84 Mitchell St; Wed-Sun)
Tunnel is a Glasgow classic with
two spaces and a good variety of sounds. It's fairly dressy for Glasgow. Saturdays are
great here, with hip-hop and R'n'B in one zone, and house in the other.
NIGHTCLUB
ABC
(O2 ABC;
www.o2abcglasgow.co.uk
;
300 Sauchiehall St)
Both nightclub and venue, this
star of Sauchiehall has two large concert spaces and several attractive bars. It's a good all-
rounder, with a variety of DJs playing every Thursday to Saturday. Punters scrub up fairly
well here.
NIGHTCLUB, LIVE MUSIC
Buff Club
(
www.thebuffclub.com
;
142 Bath Lane)
Tucked away in a laneway behind the Bath Street
bar strip, this club is open nightly and presents eclectic, honest music without dress pre-
tensions. The sounds vary substantially depending on the night, and can range from hip-
hop to disco via electronica. It's more down-to-earth than many Glasgow venues, and has
seriously cheap drinks midweek.
NIGHTCLUB
Live Music
Glasgow is the king of Scotland's live-music scene. Year after year, touring musicians and
travellers alike name Glasgow one of their favourite cities in the world to enjoy live mu-
sic. Much of Glasgow's character is encapsulated in the soul and humour of its inhabit-
ants, and the main reason for the city's musical success lies within its audience and the
musical community it has bred and nurtured for years.
