The Clubhouse

You walk into Princes Square and take the lift to the second floor, expecting another chain. Instead, you find a proper sports bar that gets it—the kind of place where the big match is on but you're not crammed in with 200 other folk shouting at a screen. The Clubhouse has got that rare balance of being buzzy without being chaotic. It's the sort of spot you'd take your pals for a few pints before heading out in town, or where you'd actually stay for the whole game because the food's worth sticking around for and the drinks are honest. Wooden finishes and decent lighting mean it doesn't feel like a dingy cave, which is refreshing for a Glasgow sports bar. You'll find everything from the football to other events on the telly, but the space feels curated rather than crammed.
