About Woody's Glasgow

Woody’s opened in 2026 in the former Speakeasy premises on John Street. The new venue keeps the address firmly within Glasgow’s LGBTQ+ scene but shifts the format towards a traditional, all-day pub. Food is served throughout the day, with weekend brunch, cocktails and a strong live-sport offer. The weekly programme adds quizzes, karaoke, singers, games and Sunday entertainment, giving the venue a different reason to visit each day. It works for lunch, a casual drink or a much later night, with Friday and Saturday continuing until 03:00. The previous Speakeasy name may still appear on older maps and directory pages.

What to expect

An all-day LGBTQ+ pub with food, weekend brunch, live sport and a busy programme of singers, quizzes and karaoke.

Stopped by here during one of their day disco events. Had the haggis Bon Bon’s to pick at which were amazing. Really great cocktails also and good music playing. Reasonably priced.

The new and improved Woody's is the place to be. In with the new out with the old I say, the decor stunning, the food stunning, the drinks stunning and the service stunning. What more could you want. Their brunch menu was just beautiful, along with their cocktails. Popped in on Sunday for a wee bite to eat and I was really impressed. I think this venue has made a regular out of me now, most deffinetly will be back and brings all my pals.

We visited for the Scotland v Morocco game. The place was busy, but very well managed with a great atmosphere. It was our first visit since the refurbishment and were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were excellent, decor very tasteful and service was great despite the bar being busy. Pies at half time was a lovely touch. Looking forward to our next visit. Well done Woody's!

I was really excited to see the Woody's transformation and what they done with the place and it didn't disappoint. I took me friend in on Saturday afternoon for brunch as we are always looking for new brunch spots. We got a really nice greeting as we entered and got shown to our table. The food offering was great and we ordered a few cocktails as well, the service we received was excellent and we felt very attended to. Both of cocktails and out brunch dishes were fantastic and we definitely felt as if it was good value for money. The also had a live singer in the later afternoon which we felt definitely added to the atmosphere of the venue. Will definately be back :)
