Katie's Bar Glasgow in Glasgow City

1st time there and absolutely amazing experience....got made to feel at home from the word go...will definitely be back....the women that go there were absolutely amazing with me and complimented how pretty I looked...felt AMAZING 👏...thanks xxx 💕 💞

We went looking for a gay bar and found this one. Dissapointed is not the word. The bar tender knew NOTHING when asked about the area. Took 10 mins to get a beverage and we were the only ones in the place LITERALLY the only ones. We had 1 beer and bolted. Not a friendly place at all.

Very quiet for a Friday evening. Not many people around felt bit awkward

The atmosphere and location are great but as the only lesbian bar in Glasgow they still prioritise gay men over lesbians. Fantastic queens performing but as most gay bars they treat women second to men.

Cool vibes, fun music, friendly service

Absolutely darling this is the place to be I love it

Very friendly venue, pleasant and welcoming crowd with everyone having a good time...can't wait to return

manages to be something for everybody

Absolutely amazing.... I arrived in Glasgow all the way from Toronto Ontario Canada 4 months ago for my very first time and solo at that and I knew of a few drag queens who are at this establishment and one I knew prior to arriving and was welcomed greatly by one and the other person was just as awesome.... I even made a second visit for another evening of fun while I was there and I couldn't have had more fun both nights I was there during my trip there.... I will be returning for a visit to Katie's when I make my next trip to Glasgow

Great safe inclusive space. Music, dancing, pool

Karaoke all day hosted by drag! Was a blast

Cheesy! Haha! We were here on a Sunday and it was karaoke. Quiet, but those in were fun. Played pool and had a drink. Would love to see other nights in here. Definitely on my next trip up to Glasgow

Excellent place and we have had a wonderful time here! Highly recommended!

Lesbian karaoke bar. Excellent vibes, always a fun evening out. Cheap nights, Mon, Tues, and Wed.

Didn’t have food but atmosphere and service was great!

I ordered a drunken monkey cocktail, it didn’t have much alcohol. I felt ripped off as it was almost 9£. The vibe of the place is good, the place is huge. Nice hangout spot.

Nice place, and friendly staff with a good selection of drinks and WiFi available on site as well Sometimes, the music or choice of entertainment can be loud or pretty weird though

An unexpected fantastic night out

This place is an amazing venue to spend time in. The bar staff, and the manager - Ross, are amazing people. Summarising… there isn’t a better venue in Scotland!! Please do yourself a big favour and visit this amazing venue. 👌🏼

Great place, always busy, music and entertainment is great

Went about 9pm on Saturday 2nd March Overpriced paid £25.25 for 2 cocktails and a vodka redbull. Womans bathroom absolutely disgusting dirty clogged toilets 3 of them covered in vomit ! People hogging pool tables no one else could get a look in Didn't order food. Good music dj was great Staff friendly WiFi doesn't work and no signal downstairs Safe to say I wouldn't go back

Love it so much. Always a great night with quizzes,karaoke etc

Great singer was on and really nice atmosphere, very friendly.

We went there to play pool and only trued their hot nuts. It was a fun day without much crowd in there

Drinks were your standard Glasgow night out but the entertainment and venue was fantastic! Super welcoming and friendly and everyone is very hype when people get up for karaoke!

One of Glasgow’s best queer spaces!

I ordered 1 gin and tonic for my friend and didn't want anything for myself however the bartender suggested I get a water (which since it was suggested I assumed would be free). I was charged £11.80 which is a complete rip off for what I got. For 1 gin and tonic and 1 water. A complete rip off! The bartender was definitely stealing from the till by charging customers extra due to it being Christmas.

Always go here when visiting the family! Great place and entertainment 👌

Love this place and the vibes, but I would fight every single straight woman holding a hen do in there.

Went to a private function which didn't really do the place justice

I came here for my 25th birthday weekend with my partner and it was absolutely amazing, this is the best night out iv ever had. I recommend coming here for an amazing night. Everyone is super friendly and it's amazing I will be back!!!!!

Big space, plenty of room. Visited on a Monday night so we played pool then the bingo. Pool is a £5 deposit for the sticks but you get it back. Bingo was good fun and seems to draw a decent crowd. Staff were quick and friendly

Awesome bar and even better staff. The manager, whose name I always forget because I am a fool, is always so welcoming and lovely.

Great vibe and good music. Karaoke is brilliant. The prices are not to bad either. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff, fantastic entertainment.

Absolute brilliant Saturday night, such a fun, friendly and amazing atmosphere. They had karaoke hosted by a great drag queen and then a DJ who had the whole bar dancing.

The mocktail prices are supreme

First time being in and looked like a great time. Wee small bouncer ruined the night, said my friend took her ID back ‘aggressively’ and if she scrunched her face up again he would kick us out. Lost 7 customers tonight. Apart from that seamed lovely, but that wee man needs to sort his attitude as we are very polite girls.

I wasn't in here for long but the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing and everyone was having a great time on a Saturday night. Lots of classic music being played and the vibe was absolutely perfect

Locks on the toilet doors don’t work, their reason for this was that “it stops people from doing drugs in them” ???? Constantly have a male worker coming in and out the toilets and follows groups into them to make sure they’re “not going into the same one” Very strange! Why not just get a bouncer on the door to check people’s bags and jackets so this isn’t necessary?

Staff member called Ross I believe was extremely rude.

The price is a bit expensive on a Saturday night

Huge underground bar with beautiful columns and friendly staff

Can't down vote a bar named after* me... Good draft selection (beer, cider), cool vibe, glitter-painted walls. I dig it.

Really unfriendly Barsupervisor with the worst Expresso Martini ever

It has a real nice atmosphere. I love the fact that you see all the different people coming together here. Having either a dance or a chat and a drink. Even the security guard comes shaking on the dance floor. Even though there is not much dancing space, people are still joining in.

Brilliant night , second time Iv been to Katie s bar . Staff are fantastic . Music is great . Atmosphere is always buzzing . It was my daughters 40th birthday we booked a table and they had her up on the stage sang happy birthday to her and made it a special night for her . All round it was 10 out of 10 .

So fun in this place people are so open and relaxed… live music too and they do karaoke I enjoyed it so much fun.

Blokes kept giving me their business cards in here, I think it's somewhere folk go for after work drinks. Decent joint.

Brilliant wee place always a good time had

Brilliant day and night entertainment.

Katie’s bar was a hoot on st paddy’s day, the Irish dancers and the band were brilliant, what a great start to a brilliant night.

Lovely atmosphere and a queer safe space

Went in this bar 27th February 2023 Absolutely fantastic, very polite staff, good prices. We arrived as the customers (very fun crowd and dj) was playing bingo. Never laughed so much in our lives Thank you all for a brilliant night we will definitely be back

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and decent price for double measures (no option for singles). My friend and I really enjoyed the drag karaoke. Only gripe is the long queues at the bars.

What a fab atmosphere - couldn't stay long that night but plan on coming back for sure

Getting served is a nightmare as the staff are so slow

I had a lot of fun there. Very friendly and kind environment

Good atmosphere and selection of beers. 2 pool tables!

Great place to go on a night out. Good vibe and a good laugh

bouncers were amazing at making sure I got home safely after being sp1ked. Can not thank them enough

We had a fantastic time at the bar last night, great snacks and a great spread!! Thank you

This place is amazing especially with the variety of drinks, live music karaoke they offers. Must visit with friends.

Attended to sell at the Witches Market. The staff were fantastic and even a chap who was thrown out could not praise them enough for the fair way he was treated. Certainly a bar I will be coming back to

Went to witches market found the bar was very dark. Could do with better lighting.

Great place for events Will be going again

Great place for a few beers. Only thing I didn't like was the random queueing system at the bar. Wasn't sure what was going on as it was all a bit strange. First time at the bar just seemed like first come first served. After that it looked like some people were queueing and the staff were only serving people in the queue and at other times they were serving people who just walked up to a space at the bar. Sometimes I just felt invisible! Other than that it was a great place. Big and spacious with plenty of seats and reservations could be made for groups if required. It had a stage and there was entertainment supplied. Worth a wee visit if your in the vicinity.

Best night out I have had in ages very friendly bar staff fab prices to for drink x

Not for me. Very young crowd..students. drab looking drag dj...but then I'm getting on a bit so if young try it

Fantastic night, and thoroughly enjoyed the Karaoke brilliant, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back 🥰🥰🥰

Great staff. Brilliant prices and entertainment

love love love brilliant night good price on drinks

Loves it good music, karaoke, pool tables, and good price drinks

Plenty of fun and entertainment

It was OK, seen loads of good reviews so went for few drinks but was surprised at how expensive drinks were

Great atmosphere and music but roasting under the spotlights.

Disappointed, angry... the company came to relax, enjoy and sing some songs. Girl who was next to the computer took our 2 orders for songs, put our names and we were waiting ... waiting ... for nothing and for last her song before closing :(( really? is that working like that?! If it was unreal to give us even one song, cause whole time was done - she should tell us, if not - Why we didn't make any 1 from our 2 songs? never will make an advice about this place )=((

Been here twice now and love it. No disrespect to any other bar in Glasgow but this is the safest I've felt in a bar. Music's great, the bingo is hilarious! Made some great pals as well! Prices are also decent 💖

Nice place but not at all disability friendly.

Este hermoso lugar parece ser uno de los puntos claves de la movida nocturna en Glasgow, pero de día es por igual atrayente. Está situado en la exclusiva calle de Saint John's, compartiendo su muy animada terraza con otros bares. Se pueden comer pizzas a precios promocionales y la oferta en cervezas es abrumadora. Las camareras son simpáticas y sólo hablan inglés con encantador acento escocés.

Sitio animado y con mucha variedad de gente.

Went to the karaoke night on Thursday and had a fantastic time. This might be the best place in the world - it was super friendly and welcoming and everyone seemed to be living their best lives.

Amazing underground bar, great architecture and character. All staff were friendly and helpful! What a treat to visit on our first visit to Glasgow! Will definitely call in again when we go back!

What can I say, I love this place. It's excellent for a nice night out with no hassle whatsoever. The place is well kept and clean and staff at the bar are always kind. Definitely recommend to anyone that wants to have fun. And do not forget they also have a couple of pool tables, ask the staff if you want to use it.

This place is just amazing. So relaxed and no one is judging you. Music was so good. Can't wait to go back.

My only reason for the 4 stars is the accessibility issue which I will of course say that I know it is not totally their fault for how the bullring is built. However I do feel as someone with mobility issues that stairs are fine if it’s once I’m in the building I’m comfortable however sadly in the case of Katie’s the toilets are down another flight of steps. Which causes an issue if you are there for an entire night. I understand that it’s not their fault but is it something to consider if the venue goes through renovations. In all other aspects everything is amazing staff are welcoming and friendly. I would really recommend this place

Love it. Staff friendly. Drinks reasonable. Great entertainment and vibe

Went on a Thursday for karaoke. The guy hosting was great. We had a fun night

Little expensive for drinks but very good vibes so its worth it

We had an amazing time! What more could you want from a night out?

Home from Home - Friendly, Safe and a fantastic night

Always great and the singer is fab..a wee Bob marley medley went down a treat

Had a great we night in here with my niece. Very enjoyable night staff and entertainment great. Go check it out ⭐🌍🌈

Honestly this is one of my favourite bars in Glasgow - an inclusive space with a great atmosphere. Great choice of cocktails, and they have really good entertainment as well - thoroughly enjoy the karaoke and drag performances. The staff are impeccable and lovely, the service is fast even on busy nights and it's all around an amazing time every single time I've visited.

Great place jus made me very old lol

Called in with my youngest daughter chloe we are from Wolverhampton we were visiting celtic football ground the food in you're place was brilliant the staff were very pleasant and friendly keep up the good work you all do will be coming back from kev and chloe xxx

Nice bar, good prices but some staff need to work on customer service, big bloke behind bar Doesn’t know how to smile or be polite. Guy that was doing karaoke was a great singer but again quite arrogant and hasn’t a clue how to fade music or mix a track. Guy in glasses collecting glasses was friendly and always had a smile.

First time ever going to Katie’s last night! AMAZING! the staff were so nice, and the drinks were very well priced! I can’t wait to go back as the atmosphere was great! Had such a good night!

If you are looking for something a bit different, Katie's Bar in John Street maybe the place for you. Going down from street level into a surprisingly large vaulted area. There are pool tables on the right hand side as you go in. There is a good variety of beers and at reasonable prices. It was quite empty when I visited but began filling up when the karaoke started.

What a joke of a service. Got turn away as j didn't book a ysbrl..I bet no 1 did . An yet I got abuse at when I left . Disgusting service. N this is how u treat punters
