Overview

Firewater is a basement bar and club in the middle of Sauchiehall Street. It has been running since 2001 and plays indie, rock and punk, with a second room called Casbah for disco, funk and hip-hop. It is a drinking and dancing venue, not somewhere to eat. The Skinny describes a surprisingly large underground space with dark, candlelit decor, leather sofas and a small dancefloor. It is known for cheap cocktail pitchers and a loud indie/rock playlist, and works best as an end-of-night stop. It runs student club nights such as Camden Rocks, hosts the occasional live gig and puts on band aftershow DJ sets. Listings give its hours as daily 3pm to 3am. Reviews praise the cheap drinks and lively crowd, but the door staff get regular complaints. Its Google rating is a middling 3.2.

"I am very disappointed with the service at this club. The bouncers displayed extremely poor manners and a lack of professionalism. They announced it was student night and requested student cards from our group, but after we presented them, we were denied entry for unclear reasons. What was particularly frustrating was that other patrons were allowed to enter without being asked for their student cards at all. This inconsistent application of the rules and the bouncers' overall dismissive attitude made for a very unwelcoming experience. I would not recommend this club due to the unprofessional behavior of the bouncers. I urge the management to either replace the current bouncers or provide them with proper training on how to treat customers with respect and consistency. Otherwise, you risk losing valuable business."

Got told we were falling asleep, when we were cuddling (barely with our hands over our shoulders btw)I think the bouncers are a bit insensitive to queer people as they didn't do this to any of our friends except to us two dont recommend this place for any queer couples

This was a superb venue for clubbing, with red and green lights flashing into the night! The music is electric and plenty of different areas to dance, seating is ready too for any chill time.

very affordable student night on thursday. queue takes a while sometimes up to 2 hours so make sure you bring a jacket, having said this the cloakroom wasn’t taking any more items once i got in so had to stand with said jacket for about an hour. quite small dance floor although there are 2 but both were extremely cramped but that comes with the fact that all drinks were so cheap. overall could be fun but didn’t enjoy it myself.

I went on a Thursday night. It was such a good experience. Expect a queue at the door if you don’t prebook your tickets. Stirling kept us entertained at the door and made standing in the queue a lot more tolerable with his humour. Will definitely return.
