Weddings at Bluedog
Live music, cocktails and a New York piano bar.
Bluedog combines the character of a classic New York piano bar with contemporary cocktail-lounge styling. Rich timber, exposed brickwork, leather booths, statement mirrors and warm light make an intimate, atmospheric room — and as the evening unfolds, live music brings an energy no traditional wedding reception can match.
It is the wedding venue in Glasgow for couples who want less of a formal function and more of an unforgettable party. Take the private downstairs space and its own bar for up to 60 guests, or book exclusive use for 150, with exceptional cocktails, live entertainment and a city-centre address on West George Street.
