When it comes to nightlife, Glasgow is a city of energy and passion. Its club scene is amongst the most vibrant in the UK. Most of the nightclubs are clustered around the main shopping streets of the city centre, within easy walking distance of each other, and are open from 2230/2300 to between 0300 and 0400. Club nights and venues often change, so check current details in The List (which also covers Edinburgh and is on sale in most newsagents) and look for flyers (promotional leaflets) in bars and pubs. Details of all the city's events are also listed in the two local newspapers, The Herald and the Evening Times.
