Our Drawing Room brings together everything people love about Glasgow University Union's 1885 character with the comfort your celebration needs. Rich wood panelling climbs the walls while fairy lights cascade from the high ceilings, creating that magical atmosphere we see transform so many parties. Natural light pours through the large windows during afternoon gatherings, though most guests prefer the evening ambience when the original fireplace anchors one end of the room and our period furniture creates intimate conversation spots throughout. We've watched countless birthday toasts given beside that fireplace, engagement announcements shared under the twinkling lights, and reunion dinners stretch late into the night. The space holds 60 for seated dinners, though we often arrange it cabaret-style for 36 when groups want more mingling space between courses. Standing receptions work brilliantly here too, with room for 80 guests moving between the bar area and the main floor. Our events team helps you choose the right layout, whether that's theatre-style rows for presentations or classroom arrangement when you need tables for activities. Being in Glasgow's West End means your guests find us easily, with parking nearby and several bus routes stopping close by. The university's historic architecture surrounding us adds something special, particularly when guests step outside for fresh air between courses. Our in-house catering team prepares everything from light canapés to full three-course dinners, working from our own kitchens just downstairs. The bar stays stocked with local craft beers alongside premium spirits, and we're happy to create signature cocktails for your celebration. Modern touches like Wi-Fi, projector access and our PA system mean any technical needs are covered, while the lift ensures everyone can join your party comfortably.
