Have any of you heard about this Graffiti project starting in May @ Kelburn? This shall be worth a visit. Wonder if it will be around when I come to visit in September.

not a big fan of promo, but seeing as it is a glasgow list...i'm playing support to irish singer/songwriter david kitt @ abc 2 on april 25th (this month, a wednesday night a believe) so have a listen to the music on my page - you may just want to give it a shot!
ok, show's over... ;) cfx

Ok, so, food - scottish/traditional then it's got to be Stravaigan (not Stravaigan 2) in the west end, or Oran Mor (west end again, old converted church) capital spare ribs, spring rolls and crispy chilli beef are the best I've tasted, also worth a visit would be china buffet king on Sauchiehall st, for Italian, Zizzi's in the city centre is good, Dino's next to Ann Summers is great for pizza. The restaurant in the Malmaison is great if you're feeling a bit flush as is the Buttery (between city centre and west end) Have heard the Teriyaki place in the rotunda at the SECC is great. Indian food, try Mr Singhs or Mother Indias Cafe.
For lunchtimes the pubs on Bath street in town are usually worth a visit as are most of the places in Princes Square.
Cool pubs, has to be the Ben Nevis on Argyle street (the west end side), Butterfly and the pig is good, especially on a fri night with their house band. Stavka is quite cool too.
If you fancy a club then try Buff Club, down Bath Lane or via Butterfly and the Pig, only has 300 capacity but is really nice inside.
House for an Art Lover on the southside is meant to be worth a visit too.
Hope this helps, any questions give me a shout

I'm coming back in September to visit Glasgow for the second time. Any suggestions for cool places to hang out in the city? I'm a designer and my wife and I enjoy art, live music, contemporary design and finding cool neighborhoods to hang out in. Places I enjoyed visiting last time include; Glasgow School of Art, Pizza Express and spending time near the University of Glasgow. Any suggestions would be great.

Chris, these are great suggestions and helped me down the path of searching for other cool things. Searching for more information on some of the clubs you listed lead me to gigsinscotland.com which will be a great resource come September when we make our trip. I'd love to find some good downbeat electronica gigs. I'm looking forward to checking out more of Merchant City, too, since we didn't get a chance to spend any time there last time. If anyone has any other suggestions of cool places to eat, shop or hang out, I'd love to hear them.

if you are looking for the downbeat electronica thing, try the 'miso' night at the 13th note (myspace.com/misoclub). other venues that may be putting on this sort of stuff is mono and stereo (two venues, same owners).
