 The Buchanan has been the home of bridge in Glasgow since 1932.
The club is in a 19th century listed building and yet has all the benefits of technology with computer-dealt boards, Bridgemates on all tables, etc. Up to thirty-two tables in play can be accommodated over the three floors of the building.
The Buchanan Bridge Club is a fully licensed club with a bar.

| New Tuesday Evening Tournament |
From May 14th, our regular tournament on a Tuesday evening changed its format.
This new supported tournament will continue to serve to bridge the gap between classes and the main Club Tournaments on Monday and Wednesday evenings but now there will also be experienced players on hand to guide those who might require assistance during bidding and play.
The evening is open to all those attending classes in the Buchanan and to Club members who enjoy and feel comfortable playing in a more relaxed and less competitive environment.
Play will start at 7.00pm.
