Our top 5 Glasgow party venues

You’ll never escape partying on Sauchiehall Street. Jokes aside, The Haberdashery is one of Glasgow’s loveliest party venues. It takes its name from industrial-era Glasgow when the place was a lady’s tailor and inside you’ll find restored features of the building like exposed stonework and wooden floors that have stood the test of time.

Through the café and restaurant at the entrance of the building, there’s a private dining space with space for about 160 seated guests, and there’s The Gallery function room which can accommodate up to 200 standing and 160 seated. For a smaller party, simply hire the Haberdasher’s Bar space.

The event venue is wildly popular for weddings, hen do’s, parties, and events, with a dedicated team bringing parties to life with top-tier service, décor, and ambience. So if you’re looking for a party space with understated elegance, menus with the finest Scottish ingredients, and a little candlelight, it’s The Haberdashery you want.

Just across the Clyde in Laurieston, the 19th-century architecture of The Savings, complete with a Neoclassical dome and a double staircase, is the party venue to end all party venues. Once a bank for the working class, then a Greek restaurant, then a poker den! The Savings Bank is for when you want to show off to everybody.

The Glasgow party venue can accommodate 225 standing guests or 150 for a seated and catered event. The Savings Bank is the epitome of elegance, with restored original features, stately chandeliers, and a Blüthner Style 6 Baby Grand Piano. It’s right around the corner from Bridge Steet subway station and a ten-minute walk to Glasgow Central (if you walk slowly).

The place we’d go to gigs, and nights, and rave until the morning. Just because you’re a respectable adult now doesn’t mean you’re free of the Arches. It’s called Platform now and it’s one of Glasgow’s most popular party and event venues, and why wouldn’t it be? Those brick railway arches will always be the ultimate place for a party.

The venue is popular for weddings, conferences and networking, product launches, wrap parties, and everything in between, and its 35,000 square feet would welcome you and yours for an epic party. Don’t know that many people to fill the space? Don’t worry, you can hire Platform One, the mezzanine bar space adorned with comfortable Chesterfield sofas, tall tables, spacious booths, and button-backed leather armchairs.

If it’s a party space you're after, with full AV equipment and sound to keep folk dancing well into the night, Platform is the place.

Situated right on the edge of Glasgow Green, the WEST Brewery is unmistakable with some of the most unique architecture in all of Glasgow. The brewery and event venue isn’t just a favourite among Weegies and their dugs during summer, it’s also a popular Glasgow party venue.

Contrary to its name, The Courtyard is a modern industrial blank canvas event space that can accommodate 120 for a seated meal and 200 for a standing party. It has its own bar, toilets, and cloakroom. Whether you’re dining on currywurst and pretzels or tapping into WEST’s kegs, the brewery is always a solid choice for a party.

If you’re looking for a slightly smaller party space, The Hop Room off the main bar can accommodate 60 guests both for a sit-down meal and standing.

This party venue is for those of you thinking, ‘I’m not that respectable, give me a place to party.’

Located on Brunswick Street in Merchant City, the basement at The Dam has hosted gigs, comedians, and parties since before The Amsterdam Café Bar was conceived and there’s no sign of that changing.

Honestly? Whether you want to hire the full bar upstairs or just the basement for a party that’s closer to those empties of your youth, The Dam is our choice for dive bar and sweaty basement vibes. Shoot the team an email to enquire about private hire.
