Dukes Bar is an independent, dog-friendly West End pub at 41 Old Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, pouring an eclectic drinks range with craft beer generally from Williams Bros. Open daily from noon, it's well regarded for its weekly Wednesday open-mic night — 'Open Mic With The Two Daves' — which draws warm reviews for both the performances and the friendly welcome, with guest DJs taking over at weekends. A relaxed, community-minded grassroots spot for Glasgow's open-mic and acoustic scene.
