Lesbian & LGBTQ+ guide to Glasgow

“It’s a great wee gay bar in the heart of Glesga. I was there on a Sunday night for the leather-men Scot meetup and we all had a smashing time. Crowd is friendly and always open for a nice chat. The lady at the bar even offered to some of us some Scottish fudges! Very kind of her. Karaoke King Bruce always heats up the stage at the rite time; he is a great room master!”

“I had a really disappointing experience at Delmonicas. I was refused entry at the door with a blunt “nope, not today” from security, with no explanation given. It honestly felt like a strange power trip rather than a legitimate reason for denying entry… especially after seeing that other reviews mention similar behaviour from the same security guard. For a venue that promotes itself as welcoming and inclusive, this didn’t reflect that at all. It was actually my first night out in a new city, and being turned away like that set a pretty awful tone for the evening. Management really needs to take a serious look at who they have on the door. Situations like this don’t just affect one person… they actively put people off coming in and are clearly leading to repeated negative reviews. You’re losing potential customers before they even step inside. I’d recommend going elsewhere until this is sorted.”

“My husband and I tried to visit on a quiet Saturday night, quite early so the place wasn't busy. Bouncer told us "not tonight" even before we got to the steps. We're a POC couple. Hard to know exactly why we were refused entry but if you're POC do be careful if you're thinking about coming here.”
