MACSORLEYS, Glasgow
Esme Jones
INSIDE: Right in the heart of the city on Jamaica Street, MacSorleys offers a world of laid back drinking, fireplaces, good munch and comfy couches. A lower and upper floor allow you to have a view of the stage from most angles so that the constant stream of live music on offer can be appreciated. From a cosy afternoon pint to a raucous evening venue – what more can you ask for?
CLIENTELE: Young to old all come along and gather for a natter and to enjoy the jovial atmosphere. People on laptops and those having an early dinner congregate upstairs while the hardcore drinkers keep near the bar, jostling and bouncing around, especially when the music gets so loud you can't hear your pals.
MAGIC MOMENT: Looking down that hot girl's top from the balcony; getting chatted up by gadges for your own amusement; and watching still unknown bands getting the whole place boogieing away.
ATMOSPHERE: Amongst a mixed bunch of music fans and paper readers, get up to your own thing and relax. For a venue MacSorley's has a very homely feel, especially after a good meal gives you a warm feeling inside. Excitable and lively in the evening as music fills your head.
OPENER: "What? WHAT? He put his hands where? You went on a dare? Hang on I can't hear a bloody word you are saying... Start again."
