The Scotia Bar, tucked away on Stockwell Street since 1792, is celebrated as Glasgow’s oldest pub and a hub of the city’s cultural life. Once a gathering place for sailors and shipyard workers, it has since become a stage for musicians, writers and comedians: legends like Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty among them. Steeped in history but buzzing with creativity, the pub has built a reputation as a warm and welcoming space for both locals and visitors.

Live music is at the heart of The Scotia, with regular performances spanning folk, blues, rock and country. Its friendly and attentive staff along with its inclusive atmosphere, give the pub the feel of a close-knit community, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking great music, good company and a genuine Glaswegian welcome.

Generally, The Scotia manages it’s own live music bookings, but we are always on hand to try and fill any last minute gaps that open up.
