History: The Flying Duck has been at the heart of Glasgow's underground music scene since opening in 2007. It's gone through several renovations since then but always remained relevant to Glasgow's vibrant night time scene.
In the last two years it has settled as a cool live venue and club with an adjoining speakeasy vibe bar that doubles as an intimate venue. The setup could easily suit a wider range of musical styles than the current set up or alternatively could lend itself to further leisure uses.
