Drink, dance and dine under stained glass windows and a beautiful mural covered ceiling, which is also one of Scotland’s largest pieces of public art. From comedy festivals and theatre to club nights and live music, there’s something for every taste at Oran Mor. Many of the biggest names in music have played this venue, including Amy Winehouse and Calvin Harris, as well as plenty of up and coming bands from Glasgow’s thriving music scene.
