Archaos, Glasgow

Reputedly Scotland's largest nightclub, this is a mammoth place with three floors and a designer decor, so there are plenty of corners to sit and sulk in. At the very top of the building, Glasgow's beautiful people hang out in the VIP Sky Bar. Music is house-mix and decent club tracks, with regular special guest DJ appearances. The dress code is fairly smart, especially at the weekend when you will feel uncomfortable if you haven't made a significant effort. Trainers are definitely out unless it's Thursday, which is student night with a whole lot of party anthems and indie-pop classics. Sunday's Voyeurism can be a bit sleazy but they have trapeze artists and other circus performers then and on Saturday to entertain the crowds when their feet get sore.
