Nightlife and Entertainment in Renfrew

Renfrew is a small Scottish town located six miles west of Glasgow. Renfrew nightlife is certainly not as diverse and exciting as the larger cities in Scotland, but like most places you can have a good time if you know where to look. Many students from the nearby University of Western Scotland spend their nights in the Renfrew area and can often be found dancing in the clubs or having a pint in a pub.

Fury Murry's club, known as "Fury's" to the locals, is located about two miles southwest of Renfrew in the town of Paisley. It's one of the few clubs in the area and is usually populated by the younger crowd than the local pubs. At this club they play all types of music from Nirvana to Stevie Wonder, but usually throw some good dance tunes in as well. Vienna's club, also in Paisley, is another good dance spot that is packed on the weekends and its clientele is a good cross section of the town's population.

Pubs and Bars

Cross Keys is a pretty basic Scottish pub located on Paisley Road in downtown Renfrew. Though nothing special, it is frequented by locals and would be a good place to start the night to get a feel for area. Down the street from Cross Keys is the Wallace Bar, which is another standard Scottish pub. They serve classic Scottish dishes and usually show a football match on the television. Located down the road from Renfrew in Paisley is The Crow Bar, which is the only live rock venue in the area. The Crow Bar has several inexpensive drink specials throughout the week. Depending on when you visit you may find an open mic night, a bar quiz, a pool competition or even movie nights. Though not a party spot, The Crow Bar would be a great place to spend a night while on the Renfrew nightlife scene. The Bull Inn, located in the heart of Paisley, is the oldest pub in the area and has retained most of its original features. The Bull Inn has good specials on pints and traditional Scottish meals, such as a meat pie, and would be a good place for dinner and a drink.

Entertainment

There are several cinemas in the area including the ODEON Braehead in Renfrew and Showcase cinema in Paisley. The cinemas show the newest movies and would be a good place to spend a slow weekday night in the Renfrew area.
