Bar in Glasgow's southside recently named 'one of UK's best' set to close

A hugely popular wee bar in the southside has taken to social media to announce it is to sadly close.

The team behind cocktail spot Charlie Brown's, which was recently named one of the best in the UK, stated they were given the news the venue their bar currently sits in on Victoria Road is to be redeveloped.

The bar has gained a cult following since it opened in July last year, thanks to its eclectic menus of epic mixed drinks and was leading the charge with fellow bars Lunar and Henry's in making the south side a go-to spot for cocktails.

In the emotional post, they said: "Our compact cocktail bar on Vicky Road will close its door for the final time on Sunday 14th July.

"Of course we are all just devastated, but extremely keen to have lots of fun for the next two weeks & no doubt a super Sunday send-off.

"Our team of 3 bartenders were given the news, that along with what was once Daku (next door), the space we take up as CB's is going to be developed into something else.

"We get it, it's okay. But we'll absolutely take all the hugs going! (Except George, he will come to you if he wants one okay)."

They added that there will be more info upcoming about what's happening but went on to thank all of their customers.

"But for now what's important to us is to say a bloody massive THANK YOU to all who have ever had anything to do with Charlie Brown's," they continued. "Regulars, brand reps, one off time visitors, locals, suppliers, event organisers, old friends, new friends, bar friends!! You've all made CB's a very special wee bar & we think yer pure class.

"We're very proud of all our accomplishments & awards, but we'll be even more proud to serve you, if you can join us up the stairs one last time."

Sharing an image of their "closing menu" which they describe as "two weeks of treats", they are inviting people down to share a drink with them one last time before they officially close on Sunday, July 14.

Devastated fans flocked to the comments to offer their support for the team.

One wrote: "Truly saddened by this news but happy knowing yous can hold your heads high with pride about what you've achieved in such a short space of time! Excited to see what the future holds for you team!"

While another added: "Here, whatever you do next will be outstanding. Devastated for yall and will be in for as many tasty treats as I can before 14th"
