The Catwalk, formily The Underground, is the latest addition to CPL's growing list of pubs and clubs, and acts as a feeder bar for the Cathouse, Glasgow's premier rock venue. The night I visited was Rock Karoke night, where anyone can sing their hearts out to a wide of rock and metal songs in the hope of winning £50. Some regulars even take it further and dress up for it, as I witnessed when the Blues Brothers look-a-likes took to the stage.
Behind the bar is the usual array of beers and spirts, reasonably priced, with an intriguing cocktail menu which I didn't risk trying. There is a very nice display on the bar wall too, with lines of bottles of beer lit up from below giving a nice warm glow to the place.
The Catwalk has a decent atmosphere to it when busy, but I can see on a quiet night how vacant it would appear. Unfortunately on a busier night there just isn't enough seats in the place to hold more than about 30 people , and so most of people ended up standing when I visited. There is a pool table if you fancy a game, but only one, so getting on it could be a challenge.
The Catwalk is a decent enough bar, and if you can get a seat you'll be happy enough before heading off to the Cathouse, if that is your pleasure. If it's a quiet night though you may find yourself longing for somewhere with a bit more buzz.
