The Berkeley Suite Glasgow

Boogie on down

Gill from Glasgow

About me Born and brought up in Helensburgh on the Clyde Coast, I've lived in Glasgow for 18 years. Worked for Radio 4 in London for 7 years then moved back to Scotland to work in radio and online for BBC Scotland. Escaped after twenty years to freelance as a media producer and write a novel (which I'm still writing). Why Glasgow? Because: You'd be hard-pushe...
""The Berkeley Suite" in Glasgow is for you if you like your clubs small and intimate with a very friendly crowd. I have so many happy memories of it!"

If you like your clubs small and intimate with a very friendly crowd, the Berkeley Suite is the very place for you. It's in Charing Cross in the city centre and is disguised as a pawnbrokers, but the queues outside on the weekend give it away. Get there near to 23:00 when it opens to make sure you get in. It's about 200 capacity. Have a drink upstairs in the pretty bar or head straight downstairs in amongst it for a dance. It's a mixed crowd of all ages and they really are super friendly. I have many happy memories of gie'n it laldy (having a good time) at Supermax nights.

They have dance music - a good dose of disco -  at the weekend with local and international DJs. On Thursday's it's the Walk and Skank reggae night. Check the website to see who's playing. Entry from £6 - £8.
