The Waterloo

The Waterloo Bar on Argyle Street is widely regarded as Scotland's oldest gay bar, trading since the early 1970s. It keeps a traditional, welcoming pub feel and draws a loyal, mostly older regular crowd alongside newcomers, with karaoke, bingo and long-running cabaret nights. Sitting in the city centre a short walk from Central Station, it is also noted as one of the few step-free, wheelchair-accessible gay bars in Glasgow. Expect a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere rather than a late-night club scene.
