Stereo

By day you can swing by Stereo and hang out in a cool venue which has a distinct character of its own and a vegan tapas menu to accommodate a range of budgets. The place soon fills up over lunch, and prior to the regular evening gigs (held downstairs). Entertainment is hosted nearly every other night, ranging from klezmer to punk, as well as clubbing options with well-known Glasgow artists.

The downstairs gig-cum-club space looks like a small warehouse (serious cool credentials right there), with big pillars which can obscure the view but a good vibe and atmosphere none-the-less. All in all, Stereo is a popular haunt with locals looking for a cool but not pretentious place to enjoy a drink and a tune. Amen to that.
