FIND US
We know we can be hard to find, here’s some help:
For most events enter via the 142 Renfield Street entrance ‘Duck Bar’ light up sign outside. Occasionally we may use the Renfrew Court entrance in the lane opposite the Cineworld/ the Glee Club, to the right of wee 24h shop. ‘Apollo Bar’ painted sign above the door.

ENTRANCE
Unforunately we’re a typical basement bar & venue so our entrance is down a steep flight of stairs.
We are happy for all patrons and their party to attempt to access the basement in any manner they feel comfortable with. As a venue we can provide advice on this.
LIGHTING & SOUND
As a venue, the music genres and intensity can vary, we'd suggest checking events before attending if you have specific sensory requirements or needs.
Lighting while reaching the venue is well lit on stairwells and corridors, but the venue you should expect to be very dimly lit. Some performances and events will utilise strobing and flashing lights (particularly club events). While we strive to be able to advise of these events in advance on our website, we do ask you pay attention to signage while in the space and ask if you are in any doubt.
