🏴 My Glasgow Safe Havens
21
items Glasgow is my home city. To me, it’s the best city in the world with such friendly and helpful people. I’ve always felt safe here, but sometimes I need to go somewhere that just chills me out. These places are a must-do, in my opinion. I find them so...

Banging food and fast service. Staff are SUPER friendly and it makes me want to go back all the time.
BLOC+ - Glasgow
Such a good atmosphere and drinks are sooooo good. You need ID + Student ID to get in. You don’t need to go to Strath Uni to come here.
Strath Union
Great music for alternative people. Atmosphere is great and the drinks are sooo good.
Cathouse Rock Club
I LOVE THIS PLACE. The drinks are amazing and the staff are friendly. Can be a little slow with the service, but I’ve never been there when it’s not been busy. So good.
Cocktail Bar in Glasgow | Book Now
This bar is always so busy, great music and great bar staff. Always felt safe here. Can always rely on a good drink being poured.
Macsorley's Bar Glasgow
Cute little place. Never too rowdy, good drinks. Small portions of food that are a little pricey, but still tastes good. Nice location if the canal path is quiet from pedestrians, cyclists, and the weather is nice.
Lock 27 Glasgow
Such a nice bar with a terrace. Great views on a nice clear day. I’ve yet to try out their rooms, but the bar is very nice. Lovely drinks.
Book our hotel in Glasgow | Radisson RED Glasgow
Amazing music and atmosphere. Aimed at Celtic supporters. (I couldn’t care less about football I just love the music and going with my friends.) It can get very crowded, so if you’re not good with that, go during the week instead of weekends.
Kitty O'Shea's | Glasgow West End | Warm Irish Welcome
An odd place, but the drinks and music are great. Staff are okay, they can barely hear you over the booming music so be prepared to yell and repeat yourself. Haha.

🦖 Eccentric Stuff
Even though it is a big graveyard, it’s very peaceful and it’s common for people to wander around here. It’s great.
Glasgow Necropolis
Okay so I’m an avgeek, this place is my safe haven. I literally plane spot from here all the time. Park near the big purple business building along from the main entrance and park your car on that road. Just walk along and you get epic views of runwa...<3
Glasgow Airport | Go For It
Fun little place to go. It’s an extroverted place full of introverts. If you want exposure therapy to help cure your agoraphobia, go here!
Geek Retreat Glasgow
Honestly, being here between 1 and 3am, is weird. You get all sorts of characters. I don’t genuinely recommend coming here at those times unless you’re with a group of people. The people can be weird like summoning entities and you get people playing...
Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow
✨ Fun Stuff
Arcade at the top of St Enoch’s Centre Shopping Centre. There are no coins, your credit is put on to either a disposable wristband or a plastic card. Just tap on the games you want to play and enjoy. The games can be quite expensive to play, so try a...
Level X
Great venue. If you manage to get tickets to a show in this venue, you’re in for a treat. Enjoy your shows!
OVO Hydro
Super fun! Went there since I was a kid. Bit pricey, but the activities you get to do are insane. There are experiments you can do sometimes in organised workshops. The place moderately sized so you can spend a large portion of your day there.
Glasgow Science Centre
Such a fun place. There is an obstacle course on the ceiling you can do, rock climbing, a big slide etc. Food options are good, there’s an Odeon cinema, a Nando’s, a Chinese buffet, upcoming “e go-karting”, mini adventure golf, arcades, an indoor tra...
XSite Braehead
A great day out. To really take in the exhibits here, you’ll be there for hours. There is so much to see here, the faces hanging from the ceiling are the most memorable. It’s super fun. Some of the exhibits are interactive also. It’s free entry too! ...
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Merchant City is very picturesque. It’s also full of students and expensive clothing stores. It’s usually busy at night and feels very safe. Worth walking through in the evenings as that’s when all the lights come on and it just looks mint.
Merchant City
I love walking through here pretending I’m rich. Just looking at the prices on things really makes your eyes water. The “security” walk around with top hats on, it’s pretty cool. There’s also hidden shops up some stairs.
Argyll Arcade
If you like bougie shops, this sort of hidden shopping centre is a must visit. You’ll get all kinds of posh shops and cafes. Don’t make too much noise, the other shoppers WILL judge you — even for coughing or sneezing. If you are below the age of 30,...
