 NIGHTCLUB

OPEN 10pm - 3am Every Fri & Sat Night

DreadnoughtRock is a renowned nightclub located in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland.

Established in 1972, it holds the title of Scotland's longest-running rock club.

The venue is celebrated for its dedication to rock music, including genres like classic rock, metal, hard rock, and wee bit of punk rock too.

​​

The club has developed a loyal following over the years, maintaining its status as a central hub for rock music fans. It has a distinctive and welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-visit location for rock enthusiasts across Scotland.

​

STILL ROCKING AFTER 50 PLUS YEARS the Nightclub has endured some major hurdles over the decades that could have ended it numerous times including the recent pandemic and cost of living crisis that is still a challenge.

Through it all the rockcrew have kept it going despite the challenges faced to still be an icon in the community.

​

To all those who supported us over those decades,years, months, weeks and continue to do so even through the covid pandemic - we thank you all as you helped make history to keep Scotland’s Longest Running Rock Club………. rocking.

​

As you can read and hopefully come to see one night we are still very much here and rocking every weekend playing the very best rock music has to offer from the 70’s,80’s, 90’s, 00’s onwards “also” things in between to make for a great nights entertainment in a relaxed environment.

It varies every nights on what is played simply by the variety of who comes in and what requests are asked for so there’s rarely two nights the same even if it is the same rock jock.

​

The Nightclub opens at 10pm every Friday and Saturday night regardless of What’s On on the live level.

​

As soon as the Live Events wraps up at approx 11pm the Rock Jocks take us thro to 3am where you can dance the night away upstairs or use the lower level where the music volume is lower as a lounge bar.

Last entry is 1am so please ensure you come in before that - the earlier the better and build the audience and get your requests played early rather than joining it later.

​

Entry cover charges from £5 either through the main entrance or side entrance dependant on the live event for that specific night. Our doorstaff will keep you right who are on hand from 7pm each night.

FYI we make the live events great value as they ALSO include entry to the Nightclub afterwards so why not make a night of it by coming to a live event first if it takes your fancy then rock on with us instead.

Many wrongly assume as a nightclub they won’t get a cold beer or cider on tap, a great selection of wines and spirits at the lowest price we can despite having higher operating costs than a simple pub. Well we can and do from our well stocked bars featuring all the major brands.

So with some great music, great selection of drinks including many alcohol free but more importantly some great people who enjoy a great night with us of all ages why not get back rocking with us the next time you are heading out. The earlier you come the busier it will get early and also helps us to keep rocking on.
