We’ve hosted guests from all over the world and have brought a new, vibrant energy to Glasgow’s buzzing nightlife scene. We’re grateful to all our customers for their support.” 

“We’re looking forward to celebrating in true VEGA style this weekend, by giving back to our customers with free birthday cocktails and a series of great deals and promotions. Glasgow has been the perfect home for VEGA – we’re a larger than life venue with big ambitions and we can’t wait to reveal what we have planned for the venue’s second year. Cheers!”
