Glasgow Hookup Spots

glasgow01

Did you know that Glasgow is the vegan capital of the UK? If you're vegan and know how hard it can be to find more than a few options to eat at. Glasgow has so many vegan restaurants that you might have to extend your stay in order to try them all. Better than that though, is Glasgow's hookup scene. As much as Glasgow residents love their vegan chow, they love their night life and random hookups even more. Even if you're a tourist, we're going to guide you through the best hookup spots Glasgow has to offer.

History of the Glasgow Hookup Scene

The biggest city in Scotland has an incredibly wild party and hookup scene, due mostly to the fact that Glasgow is home to so many art schools. Vice even called it the United Kingdom's Best Party City! If that's not high enough praise to get yourself there ASAP, we don't know what it will take. We're going to try though.

In 1845, the Government School of Design was opened, and through the years, expanded its size and focus, so that it's now the incredibly well-respected Glasgow School of Art. Due to its popularity, other schools with courses focused on the arts, like Stow College opened across Glasgow, and proudly today boast alumni who have gone on to make great paintings, books, albums, and films, that have traveled around the world, to great acclaim. As we've found is the case with most of the major cities in the United Kingdom, its this creative energy that really drives the hookup scenes across most of the United Kingdom.

Best Time To Go Out And Days To Go Out

glasgow03

Since a large portion of the hookup scene in Glasgow is made up of students, you might be able to find some people out looking for a little fun during the day, but odds are that if a young Glasgow single has the afternoon off, they're spending it in their dormitory, studying for a test that they have the next day. So you want to hit the clubs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to increase your hookup odds. Another thing that we noticed about Glasgow's fancier clubs and bars is that even if there isn't a dress code, the people of Glasgow are taking it upon themselves to go that extra mile when they put together their outfit. So make sure to look good at all times. You don't want to go home alone because you didn't take the 10 seconds to tuck in your shirt.

Glasgow Hookup Spots Directory

The best Glasgow hookup bars can be tricky to find if you don't know where to look. But ezhookups.com has created a directory of the best hookup spots. Because we want you to have the inside track to the city's coolest spots, you might want to give a couple of these spots more than one go, because obviously you're not going to successfully hookup every night you go out (especially if you're a guy).

Glasgow's Best Hookup Bars

Glasgow has one of the United Kingdom's best music scenes, but that doesn't mean that everyone wants to be out at a live gig every night. Sometimes you just need to give you ears and feet a rest, and spend a night at a fancy cocktail bar, sitting on a couch when the DJ plays a song you don't like, and try to flirt with unsuspecting strangers who you think will be willing to buy you an expensive drink. If you're from out of town, that always impresses the locals. Some of these spots are such hidden gems, the locals will be astonished that you even know about them. If they ask you where you read about it, tell them EZHookups.com sent you!

Hillhead Bookclub

Type
Restaurant and Night Club
Space
Cocktail bar, restaurant, and night club
Crowd
Young to Mature Adults (leaning towards younger)
Address
17 Vinicombe St, Glasgow G12 8SJ, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted.
Brief Description
The "Bookclub" part of the bar's name is to get the point across that it's a spot for the stylish, yet fairly nerdy. The food menu is incredible (take a look at the pictures on their website if you don't believe us), and they hold DJ nights (mostly playing from vinyl, as is the hipster way). There's ping pong, arcade games, a fine cocktail menu, and fancy lads and ladies as far as the eye can see. If you're not into hipsters, we advise you to stay far far away from Hillhead Bookclub, but if that quirky-cute style is your jam, you're going to love everything about this place. Except maybe for the long lines that sometimes form on its busier nights. Easy solution to that though is just showing up a little earlier next time.

Tingle Shooter Bar & Cafe

Type
Student Bar
Space
Bar and lounge
Crowd
Young Adults/Students
Address
33 Mitchell St, Glasgow G1 3LN, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Closes at midnight every night.
Brief Description
Tingle Shooter Bar & Cafe is clearly run by clever people. It's a bar focused on students, but closes at midnight every night because it knows that they can't compete with what a night club has to offer. So it says very clearly on its website that it's a "pre-drink" bar. Of course because of all the drink specials they have on offer, and the fact that it's students we're talking about, a lot of people will start the party earlier than they should have, and they'll find themselves going straight to their hookup rather than going to the club with their friends. If you want to get a little wild, but want to avoid big dance clubs, Tingle Shooter Bar & Cafe could very well be the place for you. Put it high on your personal list of Glasgow Hookup Bars to visit while you're in town.

Brief Description
With an emphasis on cabaret, the Riding Room looks like a cross between an old timer speakeasy and a Paris cabaret. Shows range from drag shows, magic, comedy, live music, and a hula hoop artist, so there's something here for everyone. The people who hit the Riding Room as a hookup joint are typically former drama club members, so if that's your scene, check it out. If you find a drama club member to your liking, the bar has private booths that you can make out in without being distracted by anyone. Not even the hula hoop artist.

Founded in 1987! Cash and cards accepted.
Brief Description
Not only is Sub Club one of the best drum and bass clubs in Glasgow, it's also one of our favorite kinds. The underground kind. There's something spacial about the rumble of the bass rushing through your body, when you know you're below street level. The club has its regular DJs who spin most months, but occasionally they'll have a big act come in to do a DJ set or performance of some new material before they take it on the road in bigger venues. Sub Club has played host to acts such as Basement Jaxx (remember, "Where's Your Head At?")? Though it looks much bigger when you're inside somehow, Sub Club can hold approximately 400 horny singles who're looking to enjoy some dope beats and go home with someone at the end of the night. Make sure to make a stop here.

Cash and cards accepted. Actually a short drive outside of Glasgow, in the town of Paisley.
Brief Description
An acid house dance club in the basement of a curry house, The Paisley Club (a.k.a. Club 69... Perfect for a hookup spot, right?) may not actually be IN Glasgow, but it's good enough, and close enough that we absolutely needed to include it on this list. Once you go there, you'll understand, and the drive from Glasgow will be well worth it. It's one of those hookup spots that once you go, you think about what you would have been missing if you hadn't, and you count your blessings that you went to the cathedral of Scotland house music.

Max's Club is one of the most intimate live music venues in Glasgow, and it's usually magical when a performance takes place. There's also a wonderful menu of locally sourced food, and fancy cocktails that rival any other of the more secretive cocktail bars in Glasgow. DJs typically spin some chill tunes at night, which may not sound very exciting, but the DJs are some of Scotland's best, and really set a great hookup spot mood.
