The Clutha is a legendary Glasgow live-music pub at 167–169 Stockwell Street, in the city centre near the river (G1 4SP) — a c. 100-capacity room voted one of the top three pubs in Glasgow for live music, with something on every night of the week. Its adjoining Clutha Vaults hosts a long-established open mic on Wednesday evenings that's been running for years, drawing a knowledgeable, generous Glasgow crowd. The venue runs on full backline — drum kit, guitar and bass amps, vocal mics — with an in-house sound engineer, so full bands as well as solo acts and duos are well catered for. Sign up on the night. Confirmed open and gigging nightly in 2026 (Glasgow Online, Tripadvisor, Songkick, venue Facebook).
