Pros and Cons of Birthday Party Venues in Glasgow

Pros

• Friendly
  Glaswegians are known as a friendly bunch, and this aspect can be helpful if you're on the hunt for your birthday party venue. If you are unsure where to start or where to look for the best places, you can always stop and ask a Glaswegian!

• Transportation
  Glasgow has an amazing bus service that has many stops all over the city. If you do not have a car to drive around, this method of transportation will efficiently get you from A to B! However, transportation options decrease as you get further into the suburban areas where driving becomes a much better option.

• Not overcrowded
  Even though Glasgow is the capital of Scotland and is very well-known, it is not overly crowded with residents or tourists, so there is always plenty of space to go around. This is especially favorable if you do not like crowds that can delay you when you're running errands for your birthday party.

• Affordable
  Glasgow is a highly affordable area to live or host an event in. You will learn as you go along with your planning that the expenses do not cause a dent in your pockets as much as a larger city would.
  
  
• Cheap accommodation
  Accommodation in the city centre of Glasgow is affordable, even more so in the suburbs (where transportation is limited, however). In case you or your guests from out of town plan to spend the night in the city, there are many cheap accommodation options all around.

Cons

• Weather
  Glasgow is known to be very green but also very cold, rainy and gloomy. If you are planning an outdoor birthday party venue, note that the sun may not be shining here!
