R A F A Club

Although I have not been to the RAFA club for a few years now, it was one of Glasgow’s more exciting spaces. Originally a social club for RAF veterans, it picked up a hip audience through the occasional DJ night. The incongruity of the venue– working man’s club, good range of beers at a cheap price, long bar space that doubled as a dance floor– added to the charm, and it quickly become a centre for the more off-​centre event: I saw a Kate Bush tribute night here, surrounded by fans who had dressed up specially as Bush, or in a fancy dress interpretation of Bush’s songs.
It isn’t one for a casual visit: most of the time, the veterans are using it, but anything that happens here in the way of clubs is worth a visit.
