Scotland's 'best city for a night out' that was named top Europe party destination
Summer is here, which means more people across Scotland will be heading out with their friends for some fun. Now that the chill of winter is long behind us, it is the perfect time to enjoy a night on the town.
There is no wrong way to have a night out, and everybody will have their own preferences. Some enjoy heading to a nightclub for an evening dancing, while others prefer a more quiet and laid-back activity.
Deciding where to go is also a major decision to make, with Scotland's cities generally offering the most variety. One was even previously named among the best in Europe for night out.
As previously reported by the Daily Record, Glasgow topped a list of Scottish cities based on factors like late-night events, dance clubs, public transport, and facilities such as hotels and restaurants. It was even described by the experts as a "city that never sleeps".
When it comes to nightclubs in Glasgow, there is a huge range of options to consider. There are clubs to suit every taste and preference.
Among the most popular nightclubs in the city are Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite, and La Cheetah. The former is among the world's longest-running underground dance clubs, and specialises in house and techno music.
Elsewhere, another top nightclub in Glasgow is Club Tropicana. Unlike most clubs in the city, which play predominantly contemporary music, Club Tropicana is dedicated to the 1980s—with themed decor and special event nights.
If club nights are not your thing, many other venues in Glasgow regularly host other types of live music. The city was even previously named the UK's first UNESCO City of Music.
Whether you are into jazz or rock, there is a venue in Glasgow for you. King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, The Garage, and Barrowland Ballroom all regularly feature famous musicians from around the world.
A more unique option for a night out in Glasgow is Fayre Play, which describes itself as "Scotland's first funfair games experience for adults". It features nine funfair games, including 'skee-baw' and duck hunt, while food and cocktails are also available.
Meanwhile, there are also plenty of places to grab a bite to eat in Glasgow on a night out. From fine dining restaurants where you can enjoy a fancy dinner before heading out to takeaways you can nip into on the way home, you are spoiled for choice.
The city is home to Michelin-starred restaurants UNALOME by Graeme Cheevers and Cail Bruich, while other popular choices include Ox and Finch, Ubiquitous Chip, and Sugo Pasta. On the other hand, heading to Blue Lagoon for a fish and chips after a night out is a rite of passage in Glasgow.
Unsurprisingly, given its status as Scotland's biggest city, there is also no shortage of places to spend the night in Glasgow. Whether you are looking for a fancy hotel with a spa or just a place to rest your head, the options are endless.
Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel is a five-star hotel in the heart of Glasgow. It features recently renovated rooms, a renowned spa, and even destination seafood restaurant iasg.
Other accommodation options include the Dakota Hotel Glasgow and the Doubletree By Hilton Glasgow Central. There are also many Premier Inn and Travelodge hotels dotted around the city.

The ‘best' restaurant in the US is officially coming to London
If a trip to New York isn't on the cards any time soon, but you've always wanted to eat at one of Manhattan's top restaurants, you're in luck. The 'best' restaurant in the city (and the entire country, for that matter) is going to be heading across the pond to pop up here very soon. Atomix, is a Korean restaurant by Chef Junghyun Park and Ellia Park, with two Michelin stars and a menu that combines experimental cooking with fine-dining flair. It's currently positioned at number 12 in the the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, which is the highest ranking of any American spot. For one day only, foodies in the UK will be able to try the food as Atomix teams up with KOL, a modern Mexican-British fusion restaurant in London's Marylebone. KOL, which has its own Michelin Star, is going to be hosting two seatings of an eight-course menu collaboration between Junghyun and Santiago Lastra on August 19. One seating will take place between midday and 4pm during lunch service, while the other is from 17:45 to midnight. Expect to see sweet shrimp and chilli oil on the menu, a langoustine taco, as well as KOL classics like the lamb koki mole. There will also be a bespoke drinks pairing, using Lost Explorer mezcals. Tickets will cost £250 per person and they'll be released via the KOL newsletter, with priority access given to subscribers from 4pm on July 27. Speaking about the event, KOL posted online: 'On Tuesday 19 August, we are honoured to welcome Chef Junghyun Park of New York's Atomix for a one-day-only collaboration. 'A pioneer in contemporary Korean cuisine, Atomix marries innovation with tradition, guided by principles of philosophy and design.' Online, Google reviews for Atomix are just as positive, with people saying the food is 'on another level', 'impeccable' and 'magnificent'. Chris Roberts gave five stars, saying: 'This was one of the best meals of my life. After eating at other highly rated Michelin star restaurants, I believe this is one of the best restaurants in the world and deserves a third star. 'What made this restaurant stand apart was how the chef was able to tie Korean culture to his dishes and create a meaningful experience for guests.' More Trending Chris went on to hail Chef Junghyun a 'culinary genius' who makes 'one-of-a-kind' dishes. And Oanh agreed, writing: 'We had an amazing meal at Atomix. The Asian-inspired flavours with a modern twist were on point and every dish was beautifully put together. The paired drinks and cocktails complemented the food perfectly.' View More » However, not everyone was a fan with some admitting they 'didn't understand the hype' and were 'undewhelmed' proving, as always, that taste is subjective and just because a restaurant is touted as 'the best' it won't always be for everyone.

Brooklyn Beckham sparks fury over his comment on wife Nicola's naked bathtub snap
Nicola Peltz has shared a photo over herself completely naked to Instagram and Brooklyn's public response to it has not gone down well with fans. Brooklyn Beckham has been criticised by fans over a comment he made on his wife's jaw-dropping naked photo on Instagram. Nicola Peltz, 30, left very little to imagination when she uploaded a completely nude picture of her posing in the bathtub to social media earlier today. The American actress captioned the saucy snap: "Best memories" which she uploaded along with a series of other posey pictures from their holiday. Devoted hubby Brooklyn, 26, gushed in the comment section: "I took the photo in the bath" along with a love heart. However, fans have been left unimpressed with his response, with several calling him out in the comments. Pointing out that his reply was 'totally unnecessary', one joked: "Hey, every time we know you took the photo, don't have to say it every time." Meanwhile, a third wrote: "He has no choice! He has to do everything she says." A fourth user commented: "We get it, you guys love each other. Maybe spend more time telling each other than telling the world." However, there were some more positive responses to Nicola's racy snap, the Mirror reports. One wrote: "Some nasty comments from jealous people! Wow ... be better. They're a beautiful young couple who happen to be rich ! Good luck to them I say." It comes as the ongoing feud between the Peltz Beckhams and the rest of the Beckham clan continues to fire on. Brooklyn and Nicola have shown no signs of reaching out to David and Victoria after a string of brutal snubs throughout the year. This includes their decision to body swerve all of David's 50th celebrations in May and his failure to acknowledge his father's knighthood. Brooklyn and his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, also do not follow each other on Instagram as rumours of in-fighting between the siblings continue to swirl. While their fall out battles on, Brooklyn's godfather, Sir Elton John, has reportedly stepped in to try and initiate some peace after hosting the wannabe chef and Nicola in Cannes. The RocketMan icon recently took the young couple for lunch in the celebrity mecca alongside husband David Furnish. The meet up reportedly took place at the upscale La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly discussed the strained family dynamics. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Despite the 76-year-old previously leaning into his own celebrity rivalries, such as his past feud with Madonna, those close to him say he's now more interested in maintaining peace. The source claimed: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. "He just wants everyone to be happy."

Families can enjoy a sleigh ride guided by reindeer through the forest and take a short journey on a husky-led sled through the Lappish countryside. Adventurous guests will also have the chance to try snowmobiling, learning how to ride before heading out into the frozen wilderness.
