Overview

Kitty O'Shea's City Centre on Waterloo Street is a multi-floor Irish pub — the group's first Glasgow site — built around live music every night, Guinness, and screens at every table rather than a restaurant kitchen. The venue spans four floors with two stages and runs until 3am. There is no full food menu: the FAQ says they do not sell meals, only bar snacks, though bringing your own food is sometimes allowed at the manager's discretion. It is not licensed for children. Dogs are welcome, but the pub gets busy after 7pm during music and big sports fixtures. Football tops are fine on match days but not after 7pm Friday–Sunday; GAA and rugby kit are allowed any time. Walk-ins are the norm, with a booking link for tables and large parties asked to call the pub. Sister Kitty's pubs operate elsewhere in the group (the site refers to three pubs sharing musicians).

My Wife and I had a blast at Kitty O'Shea's on several nights during our stay in Glasgow. It was such a fun, lively joint. Live music and fun people. The football (soccer) championships were happening that week and the place was packed for games, which was a fun experience for us Canadians who don't usually see people going crazy for that sport like they do in the UK.

I've played there twice for a pub session with a group and the atmosphere was great and we had good craic. I needed to place this review for how excellent our pints were. Cold, crisp, and fantastic head - body ratio. Would definitely recommend to pop by with friends as there is always live music being played.

Always lively and inviting, live band, popular and crowded during weekends, good pint of Guinness, decent price.

Just can't beat this place honestly, the live music is top notch and staff are always helpful. Door staff are top lads as well and very pleasent.

Handy to where we were staying. Bought Guiness and asked about food. Was informed food is not served here. This is contrary to researching on line prior to visiting. Great place for people into very loud music however not for us.
