Capacity 70 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, Dukes Bar is the joint 74th largest of the 80 venues we list in and around Glasgow with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: The Orchard Hotel (about 70), The Scallion (about 70) and The Abbey Bar (about 75).

Dukes Bar holds about 70 standing, which makes it a small room by the sizes we use across the directory. That is smaller than the typical room we list around Glasgow (about 230). A room under 150 is built for a local crowd - expect a shorter set and a door split or a small flat fee, and plan to fill it with your own following. Treat the number as a guide until it is verified, and check it with the venue first.
