Hi Everyone, well we're approaching the last weekend at La Bodega. I don't have any events programmed in but we know there were folks who wanted to do a set at the Farewell Do and never got a chance. So let us know if you'd like to do a last set at La Bodega. You can pm me or message us here. (Alexis has lost his phone so contact me if you're trying to get hold of him). We will still have the last of the Raspberry Jams on Tuesday 29th so please come and join us for that as well. Cheers Karen x
The Last Bodega Quiz tonight - time to get those wee grey cells fired up. Looks like it's going to be a busy one so remember to book if you want to have dinner as well. ๐๐ท๐ถ

Put your dancing shoes on and come down to La Bodega Tapas Bar for the best of Soul Funk Disco and groove Jazz, By Dj Malkie
Busy Weekend coming up at La Bodega & Dance With Attitude. Starting with Feelgood Friday with DJ Malky from Hustlin'. Saturday we've got Northern Soul Workshop at 2pm in S1 and followed by a chance to dance those moves on La Bodega floor afterwards. 4pm It's Urbankiz with classes from 4pm followed by a Social in S1 and of course Kubanishe's farewell to La Bodega from 8.30pm. Sunday we have a Sevillanas workshop in S2 2-3.30pm and Chris Clark & Guests at 4pm with some chilled out Sunday Jazz. That's followed as always by the Sunday Jam session. Something for everyone. Grab it while you can!
This will be in Studio 1 with the social carrying on afterwards upstairs as well. More chance to dance afterwards in La Bodega with live gig with Cuban band Kubanishe. Plus some afternoon dancing downstairs after the Northern Soul workshop - busy day ahead!!
The Farewell Do ... We've got DJs lined up for the evening including DJ Malky from Hustlin' and DJ MC ... you can expect a whole range of sounds throughout the night and we will have 2 rooms on the go. Get ready to party with some brilliant music and don't forget the dancing shoes. We've scheduled this from 2pm cos we know some folks will want to pop by in the afternoon and we'll probably be having a bit of car boot sale to help with the big clearout! We'll keep you posted. It's Free Entry but we appreciate a heads up if you're coming just so we can stock up & Please book if you want to have dinner as well.
Kubanishe's farewell to La Bodega. Don't miss this excellent Cuban Band with Rosana Elias, Ricardo Fernandes Pompa & Eric Alfonso. Eric & Ricardo have performed many times at La Bodega - always brilliant gigs so this is going to be a great night. Huge thanks to Kubanishe for helping to make our last month special. It's Free Entry & you know the drill - don't forget to book if you want dinner.
Kubanishe this Saturday 1 2th January ... a goodbye to la bodega ... don't miss this.
Raspberry Jam Tonight ... if you haven't made it down to one of these nights yet ... what you waiting for?? Come and join us! Free Entry - Excellent live music!
Happy New Year to you all. We are back open on Friday 4th January 2018 at 12.30pm. It will be a busy month ahead and we're still putting events together. Very emotional for us and all the staff and regular customers - thanks to everyone who has messaged and posted on FB with such lovely comments and wishes for our future. We've been very blessed with being surrounded with wonderful people - many of whom we would never have crossed paths with were it not for the Bodega and t...he Dance studios. A new chapter for us coming up but until then if you have never made it down to La Bodega or the Dance Studios do it now - it has been a legend in the making so make sure you get at least a taste of it. There will be a farewell party (in fact January could turn into one big farewell party - we don't usually need an excuse so it's going to be a blast) Info will be going up on the events page as soon as we have details confirmed.
Please note we're no longer taking bookings via Opentable so please call us direct 0141 581 3401 or email us on info@labodegaglasgow.com

awesome restaurant & venue, the staff are amazing, check out the dancing barman Glasgow's answer to Fred Astaire :)
What a brilliant hidden Glasgow gem!!!!! Played there last night with our band Catfish Blues. Really cool vibe, friendly staff and fantastic Spanish tapas!! Host Alexis has clearly put a lot of effort into the live music sound quality side and both the band and our fellow musician pals who came along, all reckon it's the best we've heard in a pub/restaurant venue. Great patrons too, engaging and up dancing including some amazing dancers who attend the dance studio activity in the venue. All in a great place and night! . Hope we'll be back but regardless I'll be back with family and friends for the great vibe and brilliant food. Superb!! Strongly recommend it to all tapas and/or live music fans!! Graham J.
Went to support my mates band saturday.
Never knew place existed...what a hidden treasure.
Never felt so relaxed and welcomed in a glasgow bar.
Shall return top marks
We have been a few times for the live music. What a great place to relax in an informal and friendly venue. The tapas is amazing. It genuinely feels like you are in Spain.
This is a great place. It feels like home. Staff and regulars are really friendly and kids are made welcome. It's a great venue for music and lovely to play in. Alexis and the team do a fantastic job.
The best hidden gem in Glasgow, great food, great music, great atmosphere and absolutely fantastic staff, love love love this place xxxx
People talk about hidden gems ... La Bodega is certainly one of them. Atmosphere was fab staff so friendly and the tapas was excellent, Reminded me of the bar in Spain that you walk into not expecting anything too special but it becomes the best bar of the holiday. Can't believe it has been there 11 years and I had never ventured in before. We look forward to many more visits going forward.๐๐บ๐๐ป
One of the very few genuinely interesting and surprising places left in Glasgow, where you can hear some really cool new stuff from little known performers. Great tapas, eclectic crowd and a great atmosphere too. It reminds me of wee bars I've found in Barcelona.
My favorite place in Glasgow. Very nice atmosphere very well served by friendly staff. The owners pay attention to every detail to make you feel happy and pleased.
Lovely staff and great wee venue .
If you are looking for a laid back, welcoming venue with good food and live music this is the place to go.
Friendly, family run business well worth a visit.
I eat out alot but i didn't this night in La Bogega as i had already had lunch...
My band was playing that night so most of the people who were coming booked a table and ate...the feed back to me was that the food was excellent and that the band who were on called Azure Halo were amazing...well done Alexis and your staff for making the place so friendly...x
Had a lovely evening here tonight, food was superb and a really nice good vibe about the place plus great staff. We are definitely coming back
Great wee place, the staff are really friendly, prices are good definitely worth going out your way for a great night out. They have a 2 reggae DJ's that play once a month who are really good and always make it a good night. Great atmosphere!
Great atmosphere lovely food and attentive staff we were there to see a band and were not disappointed. Great night.
Best bar , best people , lovely food , 1st time out in 2years without the babies and the guys made our night memorable ๏ฟฝ highly recommended , Alexis the owner is a lovely guy and his staff couldn't have been more lovely and fun ๏ฟฝx
An unexpected surprise! Try it, you wonโt be disappointed. Like a little bit of Spain. Authentic tapas, good prices and a really relaxed atmosphere.
An amazing, unassuming little place tucked away in an industrial area serving top-quality tapas and with friendly, helpful staff in very bohemian surroundings. Will definitely be back!
Quite hard to find, but oasis in the area. There to see a band. It looks like it is close to docks, and possibly of historic interest. Very rustic inside, possibly used to store tea/tobacco in historic times. There were a lot of us and we drank the beer dry! Could do with two beer fonts, optics for the spirits to speed up service. The tapas food was really tasty and well presented. We had a fun night here. Not far from the bus stop on main road, but a wee walk.
