Speakeasy

À propos de ce lieu Speakeasy

Speakeasy on John Street is a basement gay bar in the Merchant City area that provides Glasgow's gay community with an unpretentious drinking option in the heart of the Gay Village. The bar is not a styled or designed venue — it is a basement room with cheap drinks and a relaxed atmosphere that suits the pre-club portion of a Merchant City evening or a less energetic mid-week visit. The John Street location puts it within 200 metres of AXM, Delmonica's and the Virginia Street strip, making it a natural element of a Gay Village evening without being the main destination. The clientele is predominantly male, mixed in age, and the bar has the slightly underground feel that basement venues often generate. For visitors who want to understand Glasgow's gay scene at its most everyday — unpretentious, direct, functional — Speakeasy is the right stop.
