The Butterfly and the Pig is a basement bar, restaurant and tea room in a Georgian townhouse at 153 Bath Street, Glasgow city centre (G2 4SQ). Established in 2005, the bar area has shabby-chic mismatched furniture and a deep red mahogany floor, and the stage hosts entertainment almost every night: Open Mic on Tuesdays, Live Jazz on Wednesdays, Trad Sessions on Thursdays, a Friday DJ and a live swing/blues band on Saturdays. It serves traditional Scottish food and drink alongside one of the busiest live-music weeks in central Glasgow — strong on jazz, blues, swing and folk for both original and covers acts.
