Good club but after last sundays events, me not getting searched at entry last Saturday too, Security needs turned over. 1 of the bouncers definitely needs to work on his social skills too.

Always got different events on, good choice of music as theres three different rooms, only downside is that drinks are a bit pricey, would recommend going here for a night out

This is one of my absolute favorite places on the face of the Earth. I have countless photos and memories of great times here. I studied abroad to Glasgow back in 2018 and I made my way to the Garage one night during one of my first weeks there. You can believe it was not the only time I made it there. I went back for the face paint, the bouncy castle, the glow stick parties, the foam party, new people, the drinks, etc. The entire atmosphere is all around incredible and always a great time! I loved it so much I trekked through the huge snowstorm that came that year with my friends because we could
