13th Note

Venue Review by Jamie Unicorn | 07 Dec 2007
Inside: A lo-fi delight, the upstairs is where you'll do your drinking and socialising, with the downstairs hosting an intimate live venue that plays host to a variety of local and not-so-local bands.

Clientele: With the downstairs playing host to bands from every inch of Glasgow's sub-cultural landscape, the clientele can be as mixed as the music. Expect anything from hardcore straight-edgers to emo fruitloops. Alternative is the catchword, although if you go in at lunchtime then you can probably just expect to see most of the local workers enjoying some liquid nourishment.

Magic Moment: Enjoying a soya milkshake, a great option for those who still feel the effects of last night's hangover and are wise enough to want to avoid another one. 13th Note provides a variety of vegetarian and vegan-friendly items, for those that way inclined.

Atmosphere: Something of a rich seam amongst Glasgow's indie-strata, 13th Note has a suitably lo-fi feel. Truss it up nice and tight or let it all hang out - it's up to you.

Opener: "What exactly is straight-edge then?"
