Tchai-Ovna is a speciality tea-house and music venue situated in the West End of Glasgow. They serve tea; vegetarian and vegan food and allow the rental of Hookah pipes. Tchai-Ovna also provides a place for music, poetry readings and dramatic performances and an arts exhibition space for talented local artists.[1] It also hosts musical events on most week days, with performances from songwriters, jazz musicians and local and world music artists.[2]

Tchai-Ovna's name is inspired by the teahouses (Čajovny) in the Czech Republic. The Glasgow venues are popular,[3][4] particularly with students, the elderly and members from local bands[5] Belle and Sebastian's 2003 album art for Dear Catastrophe Waitress was shot in Tchai-Ovna's West End venue.

Tchai-Ovna may be forced to close by a proposed new development of luxury flats on Otago Lane. A community campaign to save Otago Lane is attempting to defend it.[1][6]
