The Clutha Vaults

Hosting live music five nights a week, predominantly acoustic and folky, but with a smattering of rock'n'roll, the Clutha Vaults is a dark, low-ceilinged, traditional Clydeside boozer that's relaxing of an afternoon but gets densely packed on weekend evenings. Students sit a little uneasily with the regulars but its got a tremendous atmosphere and sense of memorabilia chronicling the city's history -- from sketches of the busy 19th-century Broomielaw to concert posters running from the 50s to the present day. Don't be deterred by the unappealing exterior.
