King Tut's

A bit of a legendary venue in Scotland, known for showcasing up-and-coming talent, as well as playing host to the likes of Radiohead and The Verve long before superstar status was achieved. It's also widely known for being the place where Oasis were first spotted and signed up in 1993. Accolades aside, it's a brightly-coloured gem of a place, with a vibrant and lively atmosphere, whose schedule continues to host live music every night from large acts to the newest and coolest kids on the block. General pub food is served throughout the day and pool tables can keep you occupied between drinks and dances. Jolly good, we say.
