Tchai-Ovna is a speciality tea-house and music venue situated in the West End of Glasgow. They are known to serve "alternative" teas.^[1][2] They also serve 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 local artists.^[3] It also hosts musical events on most week days, with performances from songwriters, jazz musicians and local and world music artists.^[4]

Tchai-Ovna's name is inspired by the teahouses (čajovny) in the Czech Republic.^[5] The Glasgow venues are popular,^[6] particularly with students, the elderly and members from local bands^[7] 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.^[8]
