Blue Dog

A smooth, stylish cocktail and piano bar, Blue Dog in Glasgow's City Centre is one classy joint. A baby grand in the corner is for more than just decoration, setting the tone for a sophisticated, but chilled out venue. Guest singers and pianists play most evenings with a mix of blues and jazz standards as well as piano classics. While the interior is a little plain, leather bar stools, deep, comfy booths, exposed brick walls, it comes into its own once the ivories begin to tinkle and the cocktails begin to flow.

With perhaps one of the most extensive and ambitious cocktail menus in town, Blue Dog attracts a discerning drinker. The crowd here are a mix of couples, after work drinkers and young professionals, looking for a little laid back refinement. With late night opening seven days a week, Blue Dog is one of the more exclusive venues in Glasgow to stumble out of at 3am on a Tuesday.
