Britain’s best night out: Where does Glasgow rank on the list for the UK city with the best nightlife?

Glaswegians love a good night out - a walk down Sauchiehall Street on any given weekend day should be enough to tell you that - but how good a city is Glasgow for nightlife when compared to other cities in the UK?

Getting a pint with your mates is a huge part of British culture, and it’s not different in Glasgow - whether you’re a student from London or a pensioner from Patrick, we all love a good drink.

Security training business, Get Licensed, shared their research of nightlife in all cities across Britian, and have ranked them accordingly.

It might surprise you to see Glasgow’s position on the list, but the research took into account six factors: Bars and clubs per 100,000 people, Pubs per 100,000 people, average pint cost, Numbeo safety index score, fears of being mugged or robbed, fears of being assaulted, and how safe people feel walking alone at night.

All these factors come together to give the city a final night-out score from 1 to 10.
