Weddings at Bluedog

Live music, cocktails and a New York piano bar.

Weddings at Bluedog, West George Street, City Centre, Glasgow

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.
