The Glad Cafe is a cafe/venue in the southside of Glasgow, the heart of Scotland’s most ethnically diverse community. We provide a warm hub where freshly prepared seasonal food is created by our chefs during the day, a variety of sharing plates are available in the evening, and delicious home baking can be consumed at all times!

We have a well equipped venue which is home for creative music of many kinds – indie, electronic, traditional, world... We aim to provide a showcase space for up and coming musicians as well as for more established acts. Our cafe and venue space will also be used for a variety of different arts based events – exhibitions, film, poetry readings...

The Glad Cafe is a social enterprise with the legal structure of Community Interest Company. As a social enterprise we have a social purpose to eventually plough profits, (once loans have been repaid), into affordable music lessons for local people.
