Glasgow's oldest club, and its least stuffy. A room to dine, to gather, to do business quietly and, since 1825, to belong.
A private club that isn't a closed one. Members are proposed, not vetted for their surname, and the room is better for it: lawyers and founders, surgeons and students of the city.
Full use of the lounges, bar, brasserie and dining rooms, plus the events calendar and the worldwide reciprocal network.
Nominated names from one organisation. A city-centre base for meetings, hosting and quiet work between appointments.
A lower subscription for younger professionals. The Club is two centuries old; its membership does not have to be.
For members beyond Glasgow who visit occasionally, with bedrooms upstairs when the evening runs long.
Illustrative tiers proposed by Thinkscoop, to be replaced with the Club's published subscription rates.
Breakfasts that start arguments, lunches that end in introductions, and the odd jazz night. Many are open beyond the membership; bring someone who should join.
Members and guests over coffee, on subjects that matter this quarter: from crisis management to employment law.
The finals on screen, strawberries on the table, and afternoon tea served the way it should be.
Scotland on the big screen, a proper lunch, and a former international to talk it through afterwards.
Jazz evenings, recitals and conversation. The Club at its most sociable, and open beyond the membership.
Smaller, quieter gatherings. The parts of club life that never make the brochure but keep people coming back.
Contemporary fine dining on the first floor, in partnership with one of Glasgow's foremost restaurateurs. Members dine on a bespoke menu; guests are always welcome at the table.

Somewhere to land after work, or between meetings. A considered list, an unhurried room, and no one checking their watch on your behalf.

From the Kelvin Dining Room, south-facing over Royal Exchange Square and seating twenty, to full function suites for a party that deserves the good silver.

Eight en-suite bedrooms above the Club. Available to members and to visiting members of our reciprocal clubs. A quiet address in the middle of the city.
Enquire →The Club was founded the year before the first passenger railway opened. It has outlasted the tobacco lords, two world wars and every fashion in between, by changing quietly, and often.
Founded as Glasgow rose to become the Second City of the Empire. A room for the men shaping the Clyde.
A Buchanan Street home in Glasgow sandstone, still one of the city's landmark façades. [dates to confirm from the Club's archive]
Royal Exchange Square. The same Club, a broader membership, and the door open wider.
Two hundred years, marked by a Civic Reception at the City Chambers and a new portrait of the Club.
From Sydney to Barcelona, Auckland to Albany. Membership travels further than Glasgow.
The best way to understand a club is to have lunch in it. Write to us, and we'll arrange for you to visit as our guest.
