We used to live in a society where most gay bars in Glasgow were only full of men looking for men to hook up with. Over the past few years the lines have become a lot more blurred and most venues are more mixed LGBT style, and some are mixed gay and straight.

Look guys, we can’t be true experts on all the cities that we cover. We know the scene in Scotland pretty well, but not as well as some of the people who live here will.
It would be great if you could let us know about any errors we made or if anything is out of date on this page in the comments section at the end. Also, if you think any venues should be listed as solely places for men to meet men or women to meet women fill us in, thanks a lot.
Many of these gay or lesbian bars and clubs can be found in the LGBT nightlife area of Merchant City. Go party there and you will be able to check out the various venues and find out the right spots for your personal tastes.
We should point out that this is not a strictly gay area by any means, and plenty of the venues on this page will have some straight people hanging out in them as well. Be sure to read our other posts on LGBT nightlife in cities like:

Lesbian Personals is a really good lesbian hook up site, and they are both run by Adult Friend Finder. You have probably seen their ads online before, they can mostly be found on porn, sex, or other adult sites.
Guys looking for other gay men near you to hook up with can use Men Nation for quality results. Women who want to meet lesbian women would be best off using Lesbian Personals, and those who are bi-sexual and like to hook up with all kinds of people can check out Adult Friend Finder which covers the whole gambit.
The world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate should also get a shout out. Trans dating in Glasgow is more popular than ever before and will only continue to grow as more ts near you feel confident enough to be the person they know they are supposed to be.
