Music every night
Local acts play the Church Bar stage every evening, with sets starting around 7pm to 8.30pm depending on the night and running later on Fridays and Saturdays. Entry is free, so it is an easy place to drift into after dinner without planning ahead. The line-up ranges from traditional acts to cover bands, so the mood varies through the week. Weekend sets run until late, making it a lively start or end to a night out.
Food, sport and groups
The bar serves food and drink menus through the day and screens live sport. It takes table bookings and offers private hire, which is useful for birthdays and work nights out in a city centre where big groups can struggle to find space. There is also a Christmas programme for festive party bookings.
Location
West George Street sits between Queen Street station and Buchanan Street, so Waxy's is well placed for arrivals from Edinburgh and the north. George Square is two minutes' walk, and the Gallery of Modern Art and Merchant City are close by for daytime sightseeing before an evening here. Buchanan Street shopping is a block away.
