About this place Underground

Underground is a basement gay bar on John Street in Glasgow's Merchant City, the area where most of the city's gay bars are clustered. It's a casual, inexpensive bar rather than a big club, with a mixed and mostly local crowd. Busy weekend nights fill up the small room. We don't have confirmed hours, so check the Facebook page before you go. Delmonica's, Polo Lounge and other Merchant City venues are a few minutes' walk away, which makes it an easy stop on a night out.

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!

Always a go-to when visiting friends in Glasgow. Julie and her team are exceptionally friendly and professional, and ensure all customers are well looked after. Special mention for Karaoke King Bruce whose banter gives an added lift to a visit when he is on stage. If you havent been before, give it a try.

Had been out in town for a friends birthday meal in mixed company and the Underground was recommended by one of our crowd, although there was a dozen of us, we were made very welcome and we were sorted out with tables, there was a great selection of drinks and the DJ played a great selection of party type tunes creating a great atmosphere, we were there until closing time, a fantastic night out, Highly recommended.

This is my favourite gay bar of all time. I love going in and the staff have been the most welcoming of any bar. And most importantly i feel safe. Which in this day and age is important to me. Keep up the good work team you are a credit to the gay comunity
