Glasgow Hookup Spots

It's always a tossup between which is the better city in Scotland: Glasgow or Edinburgh. And while we do love both equally, there is something super awesome and special about Glasgow. We hope you enjoy exploring the bars and clubs like we did!

History Of Glasgow Hookup Spots

Glasgow is a historic city in Scotland that was founded in the 12th century. One of the first pubs to ever open was in the heart of the city center. It became a hub for the entire city and was the go-to place for any fun activities. So, it naturally became a great place to hook up. Since then, there's definitely more than one option for hookup bars now in Glasgow. Thank goodness!

Best Times And Days To Go Out In Glasgow

Like many other UK cities that we have profiled, the best times to go out in Glasgow are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Sundays tend to be a bit quieter but you can always find an open pub no matter what day of week it is!

But many like to hit up Polo Lounge alone because you are always sure to make some new friends when you're at this bar! Don't miss out on all of the incredible drink and shot specials.

The Clutha Bar is a Glasgow institution. If you ask any local about the best no-fuss, local pub, they will likely recommend The Clutha Bar to you. We love The Clutha Bar for how low-key and cozy it is. It's definitely not a dive bar, but it's also not an upscale experience either. If you are looking for a super relaxed, chill sort of night with a great beer and great conversation with tourists and locals alike, then you'll absolutely love The Clutha Bar.

Bon Accord Pub is another great no-fuss traditional bar located in the heart of Glasgow. This is a bar that is often filled with locals so it has a super casual and relaxed vibe. However on the weekend tourists do tend to frequent Bon Accord Pub for the great drink specials and atmosphere. Hit up this bar on multiple nights during the week and you'll be sure to meet tons of different people and see some of your regular faves. It's the best of both worlds at Bon Accord Pub! We highly recommend checking out the beer menu as it is very extensive. You can also get a great meal here in case you need to carb up before an active night. You know what we mean! On Mondays and Tuesdays, Happy Hour kicks off extra early so you might want to head to Bon Accord Pub early as it can get super busy. And on Fridays and Saturdays the bar is open extra late.

There aren't a lot of fancy things on this menu, but you can get yourself a great cold pint of beer and even some great food. We recommend one of the pot pies if you're hungry. The bar area at The Pot Still is the perfect spot to pick up potential hookups!

Sub Club is a throwback to the disco era of dance clubs. But don't worry, they've since updated with state of the art sound and light systems! In fact, Sub Club offers one of the best audio and visual nightclub experiences in all of Edinburgh. So if a great sound experience is high on your list of "musts" for a nightclub, we highly recommend Sub Club. The great sound and fantastic roster of in-house DJs attracts a great variety of young and hot locals and tourists. People who frequent Sub Club are there to have fun and dance the night away. And who knows, maybe they'll be going home with someone... like you! Any night is great to hit up Studio 34 but we think Thursdays are the very best. It's busy, but not TOO busy, if you know what we mean!
