Nestled discretely in the heart of Byres Road amongst eatery's and vintage clothing stores, The Record Factory takes inspiration from the underground bars of New York giving Glasgow's rock 'n' roll scene something to get excited about.

Fast becoming the best late night hangout of the West End with a 2am license, The Record Factory exposes the very best in live music, afterparty's, DJ sets and artistic events in the city seven days a week. Its gig and dance floor nuke is an emblem of the venue, hosting events with big names in music like Temples, NME, and Palma Violets since opening.

With its private spaces, huge beer garden, booths, pool area and laidback seating, The Record Factory is the perfect place to eat, drink, gig, dance and simply spend some time in the musical den in the city. There is also delicious and exciting food served daily from Noon till 9pm

With a jukebox of eclectic musical tastes filling the venue with anything from The Rolling Stones, Tame Impala, Baby Strange and The Jam, The Record Factory represents music and the arts in the city in a way no other venue has done before it; effortlessly merging style and taste whilst offering a social hub for a city that comes alive after hours. Just as well then, that we’re open extra late.

Come see what all the fuss is about.
