The details, in daylight

Nice N Sleazy is a bar and live music venue at 421 Sauchiehall St in Glasgow, G2 3LG. It has two event spaces — a downstairs room holding 200 and a ground-floor bar holding 130 — and programmes gigs, club nights, film screenings and after parties across both. Hire of the venue includes the house PA, the lighting and smoke rig, a sound engineer and access to the greenroom. The Toasters are one of the original American third-wave ska bands, founded in New York City in 1981 and responsible for nine studio albums, most of them on Moon Ska Records.
Asked about the venue
About Nice n Sleazy
How many people does Nice N Sleazy hold?
It depends which room you are in — there are two. The basement event space takes 200 and the ground-floor bar room takes 130. Nice N Sleazy titles every night either "Basement Gig" or "Upstairs Gig" and files it under Basement or Bar in its own calendar, so the listing tells you before you buy.
What time do gigs finish at Nice N Sleazy?
The venue publishes a finish time as well as a start time on every single listing, which almost no room does — so the honest answer is: look at the event. As a shape, basement gigs on the current calendar run 7.30pm to 11pm and upstairs gigs finish between 10pm and 11pm. Then Trad Thursdays takes over from 11pm to 2am, every Thursday. (Checked 6 September 2026.)
What are the regular nights at Nice N Sleazy?
Trad Thursdays is the fixture — the resident trad band play 11pm to 2am every Thursday, an assortment of knee-slapping Scottish tunes with the odd cover, and anyone is welcome to bring an instrument and join the session. Mondays are a double: an open mic from 8pm to 11pm, then Twinkaoke, the house karaoke, from 11pm.
Where is Nice N Sleazy in Glasgow?
421 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3LG — the bar is at street level and the main gig room is the basement underneath it.
Can I put a gig or a club night on at Nice N Sleazy?
Yes, and it is one of the more transparent rooms about it. Hire covers the full PA (there is a tech spec to download), the lighting and smoke rig, a sound engineer and use of the greenroom, and the venue says outright that it works with artists on fair pay and a transparent process. Weekend slots go early, so ask well ahead: gigs@nicensleazy.com for live shows, nnsclubs@gmail.com for club and late-night nights.
