Concierge.com's insider take:
Oran Mór is Gaelic for "great melody of life"—and that's the guiding principle here, whether you're taking in one of the "A Play, A Pie, A Pint" afternoons (exactly how it sounds), howling at a standup comic, or drinking in the whisky bar. As well as numerous eating and drinking options, this converted church in the bohemian West End knows how to host a hoolie (that means party, by the way). The basement venue hosts diverse clubs and gigs by the likes of Sufjan Stevens, The Gossip, and up-and-coming local bands. On the top floor, there are regular ceilidhs (pronounced "kay-lee” it's a big party with Scottish traditional dancing) underneath a magnificent mural by the author and artist Alasdair Gray.
