History Of The Nightlife In Glasgow

History Of The Nightlife In Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland is one of those places that we all want to travel to, but do you know any of the history that resides here? First of all, have you ever heard of the bar called Dear Green Place? Did you also know that that bar is the longest continuous bar in all of the United Kingdom. These are just some of the facts that we want to give to you. That way you can recite them on your date and look like you know a thing or two.

So, we have already told you about the longest running bar in the Glasgow, but we should dig a little bit deeper than that. In 1950, Glasgow was not looking so hot and the winters were harsh and smog was rolling in. However, that just meant people flocked to the bars to escape all of that. Bars were the place to go to warm up and have a good conversation. Also during this time, did you know that, they campaigned for a mass x-ray and eradicated tuberculosis. A pretty major success.

It was also during this time that new homes started being made to accommodate the ever growing population of the city. Skyscrapers started popping up everywhere. This small town grew into a city. With more people and more money meant more bars and clubs and the scene has been thriving ever since.

Now a days, Glasgow has some of the hottest bars in all of the UK. It took a while to get to this point considering they are an industrial town. It may have taken a few decades for them to get to the status of hottest bars and clubs and Glasgow date spots, but they have it and it isn't going anywhere.

If this wasn't enough reason to visit Glasgow, let us just tell you about how Glasgow has given us some amazing performers including John Barrowman for all of your Torchwood fans or Billy Boyd for your Lord of the Rings fans out there. This city has come along way and produced nothing but greatness.

Instant Hookups loves sharing a bit of history with you. Hopefully this gives you some fun conversation openers to have on your dates with these lovely ladies or gentlemen. You won't find a more important and lively nightlife then you will in Glasgow, not to mention it's Scotland, it's beautiful. You really can't go wrong.

The best part of Glasgow is that it has so many amazing places to camp out for the night. There is nothing more romantic then snuggling by a fire, or laying down a blanket and star gazing. You can get away from the city lights and the noise of the streets and live off the grid for a day or two. While this might be a creepy first date, it is a very romantic 5th or 6th date.

Address:
Glasgow, UK
Any Notes:
All cards accepted, tipping is encouraged, parking available, wear comfortable shoes
Brief Description:
Glasgow has so many amazing walking tours and boat tours and basically anything you can imagine. There is nothing more fun than being a tourist and learning a thing or two about the country that you are in. Our favorite is the two day boat tour through the Loch Ness, you never know what you will see out there. Possibly a monster? Have lively debates about whether or not you believe in Nessy. It's a fun and unique date that will hopefully be a great steppingstone to many more.
