Capitol

This venue is now closed.

Were you looking for bars on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow? Why not head on over to Firewater or Broadcast?

Another stud in the belt of nightlife street Sauchiehall, Capitol was an urban bar bedecked with exposed brickwork and spray-painted walls. Capitol's focus was music; whether it was the live DJ sets seven nights a week, gigs of all musical flaviours taking place in the basement, private karaoke booths upstairs (indie and rock song only - thank god) or the cocktail menu written on CD cases.

In Capitol, indie lovers could relax on the black leather sofas, enjoy the cheap drinks promos and vast variety of shots available from the bar, and try to match the song lyrics painted across the ceiling to their favourite artists. It's no wonder that the closure of the venue has led to lamentations aplenty on Capitol's tripadvisor pages, but with a street like Sauchiehall which is truly packed with nightspots, bars and clubs, there's no need to fret about finding yourself a new drinking spot.
