Cathouse Rock Club

You're heading down Union Street on a Friday night and the bass is already thumping from the pavement. Cathouse is that Glasgow institution that doesn't try—it just *is*. Dark, sticky-floored, packed with people who actually care about the bands playing rather than Instagram angles. You'll find yourself wedged between students, tradies, and genuine music heads, all nursing £5 pints and shouting over live sets that range from punk to indie to straight-up rock. It's the sort of place where you wake up the next day not quite sure how you got home, but absolutely certain you had the best night.
