Òran Mór, meaning the 'great melody of life' or 'big song', is a cultural centre and meeting place in the heart of Glasgow's West End. Inside are two bars, two restaurants, a nightclub and stunning private event space available for hire in this converted church, formerly Kelvinside Parish Church.
Refurbishment began in 2002 and Òran Mór opened its doors in June 2004. Since then it has introduced a varying programme of events including new musical talents, comedy nights, regular club nights and, of course, the hugely successful A Play, A Pie and A Pint series.
Òran Mór has also successfully hosted a range of private events including product launches, awards' dinners, weddings, fashion shows and conferences.
The Brasserie Restaurant uses Scottish produce wherever possible, freshly prepared by an in-house team of chefs. Bar meals are also served in the Whisky and Victorian Bars, incorporating the John Muir Room restaurant.
