Nightlife Glasgow Nightlife - TravelPuppy.com Unlike Wales and England, licensing laws in Scotland allow for much variation – bars may stay open all day, until 24:00 or only between 12:30-14:30 and 18:30-23:00, while clubs are often open until 03:00, although last entry is usually at 01:00. There are more than 700 pubs and bars in the city as well as many nightclubs catering for all musical tastes. The nightlife scene varies from the student hangouts of the West End to the stylish bars in the Merchant City – Downtown lies between the two, both geographically and in terms of venues. |

depending on the venue. A pint or a mixed drink costs around £2.
