Celebrating our 10th year in June 2025, The Hug and Pint is an independent grassroots music venue, bar & pizzeria in Glasgow’s West End — just a short walk from St George’s Cross Subway Station.

Margaritas are always £5 and you can get 2 pizzas and 2 pints for £20 every Monday at The Hug and Pint.

We are here to provide a community space to play awesome music together, to make everlasting human connections that enrich the world around us.

Since opening in June 2015, our live music programme has been incredibly strong and has featured both well-established and up-and-coming local artists, as well as some of the most exciting international touring acts like Big Thief, Mitski, Black Midi, Japanese Breakfast, Lankum, Lucy Dacus and many, many more.

The venue is named after Arab Strap's seminal album Monday at The Hug and Pint. The band gave us their blessing to open our version — with Aidan even designing our logo.

There is a well-documented crisis in grassroots music venues. The Hug and Pint struggles to break even.
Help us stay open — buy a drink, buy that person you just met a drink, eat a pizza, donate to us when you buy a ticket, organise a birthday party or a get-together of old pals.
It goes to a place worth protecting.

With sincere regret. The venue is accessed via a staircase at the back of our restaurant and as such, we are unfortunately unable to cater to wheelchair access. We have so far been unable to find a solution to this problem.
