    Delmonicas (known locally as 'Dels'), is a fun gay bar located right in the heart of Glasgow's gay triangle.

    Since 1991, Dels has entertained guests with great music and activities, including karaoke, drag, and visiting DJs. We love their famous quiz nights, especially when paired with their fun and fruity cocktails. If you're coming in with a group, make sure to order a handbag cocktail!

    The Waterloo is apparently Scotland's oldest gay bar, and it's certainly a firm favorite amongst the Glaswegian locals. Friendly staff, great entertainment, and cheap drinks make this a top gay hangout. There are nightly entertainment throughout the week, an karaoke takes place every Saturday - our favorite!

    The pub is packed even on a weekday afternoon, mostly by older patrons, but the younger gay partygoers fill up the space in the evenings.
