The club has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and the members tend to now each other quite well which leads to a lot of good banter. As well as the pool room there is a bar and a smallish hall which can be hired for functions. The drink is reasonable and a buffet can also be laid on. The staff are friendly and approachable and the club is clean and pleasant. It is wheelchair accessable and all on one level, with accessable toilet facilities. Good friendly place.

Although denounced as an expensive white elephant when it first opened, I'm glad that Glasgow has a…read morevenue like the Concert Hall. It's definitely the best large-hall environment for classical music, and it's also pretty good for rock or other amplified concerts too; although it can't compete with the likes of the SECC or the Hydro in staging the larger acts. I think they sometimes over-stretch themselves when trying to stage large ballet productions and the like, as the stage isn't designed to hold a lot of scenery and they just don't have the technical infrastructure that a normal theatre does, but I have to give them full marks for some of the more innovative shows that they have put on here. The biggest and best has to be Celtic Connections, which has grown from a small traditional music gathering intended to bring a bit of relief to dark January winter days, to the world's largest traditional music festival, a truly global phenomenon and a real feather in Scotland's (and Glasgow's) cap. They also use the smaller Strathclyde Suite for smaller shows, events and functions, and often you will find exhibitions or craft fairs taking over the foyers on quiet weekends - the regular Mind, Body & Spirit fairs are popular for example. The architecture of the building is nothing to write home about and is probably best described as 'functional'. Inside it seems very easy to get lost as there are so many different levels and areas to wander about in. It seems very spacious, but when a full house is trying to exit at the end of a performance, suddenly it feels very cramped. Good points - the foyer bar is nice and long so it doesn't get too mobbed. Bad points - There never seems to be enough loos at larger concerts and the interval queues can be lengthy.

I was 100% sure I'd already written this review but there you go, I think I have review amnesia…read more After reading Scott C's review I went back to read what I'd written and *boom* - there was nothing there. Anyway, I'm here now to tell you all about why I think this is a great venue. Mainly, seating. I love sitting down. Too much, if the news has taught me anything. Sitting down is going to kill me, but now I'm the other side of 30 it's my second favourite position after laying down. We went to see Ben Folds perform here and aside from the fact the gig was exceptional, the seats were comfy, well spaced out and generally amazing. We had good seats too - in the main section along the side, and had a great view. The rest of the building is worth a visit, even if you're not going to a performance there. It's a great space, well laid out and easy to navigate. This was my first visit, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the upcoming shows now that I know what a great space it is.

I've been to this building lots of times, as it also houses Eastwood Gym and swimming pool, but I'd…read morenever visited the theatre. My friend was in a production before Christmas so I thought it was a good opportunity to go - The Edibles, a show for 3-7 year olds. No, I don't fall in that age range but it was a fun outing all the same (and only 45 minutes, perfect for my short attention span!). The theatre is bigger than I expected and generally pretty pleasant. Entry is up the stairs and in the foyer area there was an exhibition on of artwork which I'll have to return to check out another time. There is a cafe downstairs in the main foyer which has good selection of snacks and nibbles but I think it is mostly pre-made, bought-in food rather than being made fresh there. I picked up a brochure for upcoming productions and was impressed to see the wide range of stuff they have on - movies, ballet as well as other theatre productions. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on what's on in future months as this makes a great spot to visit if you're a local.

It was my first time here and I didn't get much time before the show to absorb anything worth reviewing so excuse the vague comments below. I'm coming again in January for another panto so I'll have more info soon! This theatre is only a few minutes drive from Giffnock train station. It's quite a small theatre in comparison to the others that I've been to in Glasgow but I don't mean that in a negative way as I think it's quite cosy and you don't need to strain to hear the actors.

Judging from their website, the Polish club offers actual activities for Polish folks in Glasgow…read more My friends and I, however, pretty much just come for the bar. It's a dark and cozy bar located in the basement. The drinks are fairly cheap and they have a selection of Polish beer and vodka that you probably won't find many other places in Glasgow. You don't need to be Polish or a member of the club to use the bar. There's a pool table and TVs if you feel like doing more than just chatting with friends, but really, that's what it's best for: having a drink and a chat.

This is a great night and something different to do on a Friday or Saturday. The venue is really…read moreshabby but that kinda adds to its appeal. You can sit outside with a drink or there are a couple of bar areas were there are TOTE's so you don't need to go far for a bet. It's £5 in on a Saturday and the first race is usually about quarter to eight with the last one being around quarter past ten. There is a newish bar called the dugout and it stays open until 12am, this is ideal to be as i would recommend booking a taxi for your journey home as it can be a bit quiet outside the stadium. There is a huge car park but it would be worth leaving the car as it is a reasonably priced round. There is a restaurant which is a set menu and is a bit school dinners eg steak pie, chicken in a basket etc but it was packed last Saturday so you should book a table rather than turn up. There is also a snack bar which will do you chips n gravy, burgers, tunnocks tea cakes and rolls etc. I prefer going in the summer as its nice to get a seat outside, also its a good place to come for a few pints before moving on into town.

This is a fantastic alternative night out which I always enjoy. You can bet on the greyhound you…read morewant to win, it can cost as little or as much as you want, the fun is in the 'winning'. I am always quite lucky. The surroundings are a bit dated and it is in need of refurbishment. It could do with a good clean as well, but I love it for a night out. Highly recommended, just make sure you have had something to eat before you get there.

We were booked as a band for a night of music in Sweeney's, playing alongside some other local…read moreacts. The night itself wasn't organised by the bar but someone outwith who hosts a regular music showcase. The evening felt very uorganised, and although, little of this is down to Sweeney's, the staff were of little help. We arrived early. The decor is eclectic, the pub definitely has a personal touch. I really liked the musical and instrument motifs by the stage area. There's also some quirky signs by the bar. Although, it did all a bit funky and mismatched to me. When we walked in, instruments in hand, we made our way from one half of the bar to the other; one which has the stage. Although the bar staff in the first room had explained we'd to head through to the second, nobody welcomed us or explained what would be happening when we got there. Other than a heckle from some folks at a table and a 'What will you be playing for us?!', we were left to it. We took a seat and, noticing no other instrument-in-hand folks, wandered exactly what the plan was. So we ordered drinks, and then I introduced myself and the band. At this point, more musicians were in the bar. Phew! The barman explained that the person who runs the night was running late. Understandably not their fault, what could they do? But then time went on and on. And there was no update from the bar. We just waited and waited. We'd presumed we were first since it had been listed that way without a mention of running times but after waiting till after the night should have begun (when the organiser finally arrived), we found out we were second. By this point, we just wanted to play; play and go home. In addition, the monitor mix wasn't great and the organiser had mistakenly thought there was two of us, so Sweeney's only paid two of us for performing. The general feeling was that there's venues out there doing amazing things for local music. The best and memorable gigs for us have had great hosts behind them. We just didn't feel this way about Sweeney's, and that's a pity.

Now the home of Strathclyde University's theatre group, it stages frequent week long run of traditional plays, from Anouilh's Antigone to contemporary melodramas.

It has a very pleasant bar, which only opens at the same time as the performances.

It's always worth keeping an eye on what's coming up in the theatre as a night here is a very pleasant experience - particularly when the lovely little bar is open.
