What makes Delmonicas special
Dels is one of the oldest bars in Glasgow’s scene and has entertainment during the week and at weekends: karaoke, quiz nights, live music and drag shows alternate. Guests praise the atmosphere, drag acts and DJs. Several reviews criticise the door, with solo guests sometimes turned away for no clear reason.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for karaoke and drag during the week
- like a bar with a long history
Not ideal if you …
- are on your own and don’t fancy strict bouncers
