King Tut's in Glasgow City

What an awesome venue - someone described as a "wee bit small" - hell yeah - that's the beauty of it - great sound, great gigs, great staff behind the bar - get in to the gig area early or risk being behind a 6ft nutter waving their arms about in a frenzy - but get to the front and whoa - you are shaking hands with the star of the evening - soooooo personal its freakish but like in a great way. We saw David McAlmont & Hifi Sean and frankly I now feel like I know them both - we were practically on stage. And here's the real crazy bit - the venue doesn't rip you off - we were £18 each to see a global megastar!!!! AWESOME.

Great small venue for a gig! 🙌 Love the atmosphere in here

Another super night at the world famous King tuts. Anyone into gigs should visit here.

Attended my first gig at this lovely location last night. My mobility and capacity has been in decline the past couple of years but I still love live music. The staff and services provided last night not only made that possible but an absolute pleasure. Was sat in a comfortable area near the sound desk ( alongside my partner thanks to the companion ticket 🖤✨️ ) which provided shelter but didn't shield me from a wonderful view of the stage or the energy from the crowd. Early entry and escort was provided so wouldn't get rushed or overwhelmed on the stairs. Just absolute star studded team and venue 🙌🙌 Special thanks to Richard who sorted that & checked on us throughout the night 🤘

Great small venue for a gig. Staff are friendly and the acoustics are also excellent

Walked in on an excellent open jam. Will go again.

Hard to believe Peggy Gallagher conceived Oasis in this very room, 5 stars.

Great venue for a gig and the bar staff are always really lovely

Love this venue still - first came here in 1999 - nice cosy intimate gig area : seems a bit smaller and cramped now than what I recall it looking like in the late 90s. The gig I went to see was Phoebe Green and ARXX on Sunday night: great performances and very friendly, respectful and enthusiastic audience that night but it's not always like this : on some nights people who have had a few drinks, they try and push their way into spaces where there aren't any. That's just a crowd thing depending on the bands but it can be annoying.

Where Oasis were discovered! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, cold spot so didn't stick around. Just had the one!

Here seeing a gig on Friday night place was packed, good atmosphere and air conditioning on so not too warm

Superb small venue for up close and personal preformances

Great venue, really enjoyed the open mic on Saturday afternoon

Went to watch my nephew's bank play. They were headlining! Bar staff lovely. Felt great being in a place where so many famous people have played. Back downstairs and someone was playing on the piano. Fabulous night!

Great first time being in King Tut's. Staff were nice. The security staff were amazing. Very friendly. Helping me up and down the stairs and holding my crutches. And making sure that i had a seat. Thank you so much xxx

Is the venue closed ? I came here but couldn’t find an entrance or any mention of it was open or not.

Smallish bar area is cosy for a drink before heading into see bands

Grub in here is pretty good but the atmosphere at gig is awesome! A great night out...

Went to see The CLAES, fantastic band, fantastic lineup

It’s been a long while since I was last in here and it’s a bit different from what I remember. The bar area is lovely, great framed posters on the walls and great music on the playlist. Music venue is smaller than I remember but the sound was great and the atmosphere was spot on.

Went for the MOTHICA gig this week and had an absolute blast from the get go. Security and staff were incredible and super helpful when it came to organising accessible seating for myself and my partner. Said accessible seating is on a raised platform behind a short wall, meaning we got a clear view of the stage. Staff also made sure that the stairs to the platform were always clear so movement to the bar and the stairs out wasn’t too difficult. Would love to come back ✨

Best gig I've ever been too. Staff are lovely and the vibe is absolutely to die for! The pyrotechnics are amazing for such a small venue and shout out to the crew who did such an amazing job for the Mothica gig. 100% be coming back here for shows !!!

Attended Black Dove gig, great night and atmosphere as always

The place has a rude barmaid who doesn't know how to treat customers. I guess it's a far cry from the old days. Stay away.

Awesome place well worth visiting.

Lovely atmosphere. Also lost my drink because my chaotic self forgot where I’d placed it, then they themselves got me a new one, for free! Very nice of them

Went to see a local band play. Great music venue. Staff were great. Good bar service. Photo of Human Renegade.

Theatre of Hate gig great night !

Such great live music, loved that they had a variety of bands that played throughout the night. Beer prices were a bit steep but with how cheap the tickets for entry were it was still a very affordable and enjoyable night out.

Naked Actress were amazing and love this venue

Very good concert hall in Glasgow! We really enjoyed the concerts and the local beers (they have a wide range, even one of their own which we highly recommend!). The sound in the concert hall is fantastic. Very local and varied atmosphere. They have a jacket storage service. And you can take away t-shirts from the place they have for sale!

Brilliant venue. Long live King Tuts!

Definitely a must visit. Great atmosphere, great bands. Definitely the best bar in Glasgow!

Shout out to the bouncer last Saturday, what a legend 👏

Live music, many young people having fun in a healthy way dancing and drinking

You're always in for a good gig at King Tut's. Staff are brilliant, stewards/security are attentive, very firm but fair and have a sense of humour, venue always has something to offer. Drinks are well priced, not tried food yet but it looks on point

Great night 🌙 1st time. Ever watching the Sankaras and the Australian rocker

Spectacular, without words. If you're interested in British music from the 90s onwards, it's worth popping in even if it's just for a pint. We arrived when a concert was finishing and they let us in without paying, we just had to have a pint. In the end we got to listen to 5 songs.

Great small concert venue. Glasgow Classic. Absolutely packed and full of a great atmosphere!!

Bit of an institution at this point TBF. Still pretty good if a tiny actual venue but full of Flashy charm.

Venue for gigs poor ventilation. Too hot, too many people allowed in such a small space. Won't be back.

Seen some really good bands in this place.

One of my favourite gig venues as its quite small and intimate ;)

Had a great night listening to a great band Called Anchor lane

Super cool to see shows of music groups there

Amazing venue, great staff, great crowd, great music.

Been here about a million times in my life but it’s just a really sad place now with a nasty power hungry door man who makes comments about everyone.

We seen Darren Kiely here and the staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The wait was warm in the bar before we moved into the part of the venue that the show was happening. Very nice intimate venue inside.

Really nice place, had a great night.

here for Deap Vally gig, great wee venue

THE best small gig venue on planet earth. Everything about it is perfect.

Really cool place. Sadly didn't get to see a band there

Lovely venue. Good sound and lots of room.

Great little bar and venue. Good value food. Shame that only smoking area is immediately outside door so got smoke blowing in.

What an awesome, intimate venue, it never fails to please and the staff are so lovely and helpful too 👍

A great venue. Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff

Bear in mind that it's a pub and not a stadium but the atmosphere is great.

The concert venue is nice and we enjoyed a good performance. Nevertheless, the aircon was so strong and pointing directly at us (first row). I had to put on my jacket and even with that I got ill. I think they should control a bit more that.

Saw the Natutics at King Tuts in April. The venue is brilliant for gigs, always great going here

Went here to see an ex workmates band. I had a great night and saw 3 bands for under £15, its great to have venues like this to keep music live. It seemed to be smaller than I remember from seeing bands here in the 80s.

Legendary music venue, went on a Thursday night for (4) local bands I think 11 quid per ticket? Absolutely lovely time, very kind people, and a fantastic alcohol selection. We are from Michigan and see local shows regularly in Detroit so this was a real treat. If you happen to find yourself on Glasgow. PLEASE make time to visit this venue, you won't be disappointed. Local music is very important to support and you get to be close to the community.

Went to see a gig and staff were super friendly. Was nice to get a drink after the gig too as there was a great buzz about the bar.

Very sympathic! A nice location with great live music.

Brilliant grass roots live music venue.

Super gig. Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. Super friendly staff and excellent atmosphere. This is the best place to see bands.

Amazing place to see bands in Glasgow, pretty much any band from Scotland has started out playing here.

I can't believe it has taken me so long to visit. Has to be one of the best small music venues anywhere. Will ba back very soon. Great staff too.

Place was shut Just wanted a photo of the iconic front Maybe I'm an early bird , but I've never seen the place open , any time I've passed it

Saw a gig in the upstairs space here, which is a well organised, but overall small room. There are bars upstairs, in the gig room, and downstairs in a space that's arranged like a more traditional bar. The staff were organised, and there was a good selection of non-alcoholic options. They were also reasonably priced. I was driving, so I have no idea what the situation was with the prices of alcoholic drinks, but there seemed to be a decent range available. The cloakroom is upstairs, and run by the upstairs bar staff - it costs £1, which I thought was very reasonable. The upstairs performance space has a raised section, and both sections have a small amount of bench type seating around the edges. The security staff - who are efficient but not over-bearing - are OK with you standing on these benches when the gig starts. It might just be the gig I went too, but the sound levels were also spot on - I could hear everything perfectly (and I was right at the back), but it wasn't so loud that my ears were ringing afterwards. As ever, there could do with being more ladies toilets, but they worked, had paper, the sinks worked, and the water was warm, and one of the two hand dryers worked. So a vast improvement on a lot of places. Overall, very good experience, especially as I suspect that the gig I went to was probably the first such event for a lot of the younger people in attendance - and they managed that really well at the bar with wristbands.

What am amazing venue with a right musical history. We had such a top night!

Played here last night with Jordan Mackampa and the whole team were so friendly and welcoming. Jordan on sound was an incredible pro and a great hang - wish I lived in Glasgow so I could visit more often!

Phenomenal but intimate venue with a proper pub feel. Kingfishr were also amazing to see.

Incredible venue, the band on the night were incredible, well worth a visit.

Didn’t try the food so can’t really say Overall for my first experience at king tuts, it was an amazing experience for such an small venue. Felt cozy

Good,close up venue for up & coming bands

Depends on the band. Not too much of a rip off for your average working class punter.

Great music venue, enthusiastic bar staff, quotable urinal. What more could you want?

One of the best music venues/bars in Glasgow. Visited, on this occasion, for a new Saturday afternoon open mic event in the bar. Very friendly atmosphere.

Great open mic on a Saturday afternoon. House piano is in tune and you can hear it in our video of vacation forever

King Tut was also nice to me even when I had to Wah wah so I would recommend this place my daughter got hit by a trolley on the sidewalk and the security guards asked me what she was doing there and I was thrown out of the building 6/6 I didnt have insurance good experience xx

What an amazing atmosphere, if you enjoy live music and a cozy fun place to hang out and have a drink, this is it. The food was good, but that's not the main reason you go here (the time I went I believe the only option was pizzas). There are some very talented musicians playing here, and the staff is top notch. If you have an evening free in Glasgow, head down here for a bit and have a great time.

Been a few times for gigs, great venue

Great gig venue, just a shame the floorspace is so minimal

Saw the band Cloth here on 15/10/21. Great band (or were till they got rid of drummer Clare), great atmosphere at a great venue.

Didn't eat but I did attend a gig

Intimate venue. There is a public bar downstairs and another smaller bar upstairs. Keep the noise down in the smoking area as it's out on the street. Pretty thorough on searching bags and making sure people aren't vaping during gigs.

Great little venue. Sound was spot on for the main musical act I was there to see. The cloakroom/bar/merch queue wasn’t very clear as to what was going on, but otherwise great.

Came here for a gig cool venue not to hard to find and reasonably priced too

Went to see Duke Specials supported by David Ford. Had a decent pizza before the show and the gig itself was brilliant.

Been attending gigs at KTWWH for the past 20yrs and tonight we had the weirdest experience. Was at the merch table upstairs during the gig and a member of the security staff lambasted us for talking too loud as it was “not that type of concert”. Not entirely sure what was meant by this and when challenged, the staff member advised that their “CCTV system had identified that our conversation volume was too high” which is probably the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever heard. If you intend to have a conversation (away from the stage area) with friends, order a drink or merchandise then I suggest you learn sign language to ensure you don’t upset the staff. Absolute joke behaviour. Should rename the place King Tuts Wah Wah Library

Had a decent experience at King Tut's seeing a band, crowd were generally good, but the sound from the speakers was a little 'mono' unless you were right in the middle of the room.

Was there to see Cyan Kicks on as an opening act, The venue is very small but I liked that in an odd sort of way, trying to get out after I had seen the band was murder but enjoyed as a whole.

Not what was expected, felt there were too many people packed in to the music venue area. This venue certainly did not live up to expectations, wouldn't hurry back to a gig here

Great venue, just so happened to arrive really early for a gig and there was a Hype Club event going on that was brilliant, especially seeing the young performers get that confidence boost. Prices were decent and service was quick. A great experience for intimate gigs.

Went to an open mic night, great place, we loved it

Here for Isaac Gracie gig, venue is perhaps a little on the small side but it is intimate, and concerts do tend to be very much on the cheaper side. Not tonight but I have been here in the past and the event was ruined by folks talking in the bar. Booze at the bar is a tad on the pricey side. And again tonight to see Lo Moon, as I’ve said it’s intimate, so much so two of main act band members were standing next to me watching part of the support act.

Good live music venue with an interesting history. We travelled to Glasgow from Liverpool and had found this place online. My wife and i thought it was far to expensive..£13 each to watch an hour of live music..Cràzy!! Dissapointed!!

Tonight's gig was 5 piece Pastel's sell out tour at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. Signed to Manchester Independent label Spirit of Spike Island. Pastel have that early Indie / Brit Pop sound, very Stone Roses-esque. Good gig, very lively crowd. Looking forward to hearing more.

Hier sind sehr viele bekannte Gruppen bereits aufgetreten. Kleiner Club, einer DER beiden Clubs in Glasgow. Konzerte für wenig Eintritt. Mitten in einem Wohnhaus (Keller/Souterrain). Etwas Besonderes. Leider kein Essen mehr. Gab es bis vor kurzem noch. Aber sehr nettes Personal und gute Auswahl an Getränken.

Great place to drink and catch some music!
