Wonderful memories are made at Clyde Auditorium. Fondly known as 'The Armadillo' to locals, it shines and sparkles in the sun, as much as the stars who turn up here to entertain the lucky crowds of fans.
Make sure your concert lives up to your high expectations. An evening here deserves nothing but the best. Sitting pretty by the river Clyde, its slightly alone.
Not to worry. Those in the know can find top places for smart pre-theatre meals, as well as relaxed and buzzing places for a drink. If you're looking for a bed for the night too, there are useful options for a comfy night nearby - whatever budget you're working on.
Have a lovely time at Clyde Auditorium...

Feeling excited about your evening at Clyde Auditorium? You should be...;-) Getting the party started before heading to the venue is always a cool idea.
Brel /Browse/Restaurant/Brel(reveal best table deals?) makes its home in an old coach house in Ashton Lane. In Summer the wide doors are flung open, and the beer garden out back is very popular. And the food served has a Belgian spin. No, really...;-) HUGE pots of moules with crispy fries, washed down with a bottle of imported Belgian beer hit the spot perfection.
Also with its own leafy beer garden, and barbeques in Summer, Cottiers Restaurant /Browse/Restaurant/Cottiers(reveal best table deals?) hits heavenly heights in the rafters of a gorgeous converted church. The food has aspects from South America, so expect perfect fajitas to come your way. Golden and shimmering, this makes a truly dazzling place for some lively Clyde Auditorium pre-theatre dining.
If you're planning a Big Date or a different special occasion, a spot of intimate Clyde Auditorium pre-theatre dining will be on the cards.
An easy walk away - or 3 minutes by taxi - sits the one and onlyThe Sisters Kelvingrove /Browse/Restaurant/The_Sisters_Kelvingrove(reveal best table deals?) A cool dining room, which has a splash or two of Scottish art and tartan, is kept warm by the friendly welcome and amazing meals served up. Charm and an easy grace disguise the expert work going on here.
All the gorgeous details of the old Buttery, without the starch and pomp, have been kept alive and shining at Two Fat Ladies at The Buttery /Browse/Restaurant/Two_Fat_Ladies_at_The_Buttery(reveal best table deals?) . Sure to impress, any meal here lives long in the memory. With just cause, too. Excellent Scottish cuisine is served by a strong team here.
Feeling the buzz, after a jumpin' concert? A 15 minute walk takes you to a couple of secret local places that'll happily keep things moving along nicely...
Chinaski's has a West facing beer garden, in a spot almost looking over the M8 motorway. Really. With hardly any external signs, this stunner is easy to miss. Relaxed and sure of itself, it has everything you need; a massive bar, super gastro-pub food, cool tunes and that amazing beer garden. Have fun...
Next doot to Chinaski's, the cool and urbane Black Sparrow /Browse/Restaurant/Black_Sparrow(reveal best table deals?) waits to entertain. Another impressive bar, fab tunes keep the vibe lively. Try to grab one of their curved Chesterfield booths, and settle in for a laugh with friends. Great times approach...;-)
You may well feel like taking a load off, after the concert. As well as chatting about how amazing it all was... Help (and a seat) are both to hand...
City Inn /Browse/Restaurant/City_Cafe_(reveal best table deals?) could hardly be any closer to your venue. It might look a bit like a shoe box on the outside, but take a closer look. In one of the most funky spots in the whole of Glasgow, in the shadow of Squinty Bridge, it has a riverside deck terrace for you to enjoy. Perfect...
Take a short stroll over to Argyle Street, and hidden nearby you'll discover the delights of The 78 . Cool and laid back, locals in the know love to keep this gem to themselves. Light and airy, its also serene and chilled. If you have the munchies, try some of the mouth watering vegan food they serve... Heaven on a plate.
Hopefully you'll have some time to spare, when visiting Clyde Auditorium. Its great fun to put on a tourist hat now and again, and do a little exploring.
