Slug & Lettuce is reopening its doors in Glasgow after a hiatus of almost two years.

The popular bar's brand new location on West George Street opens today (October 19) after a £837,000 investment in the former Missoula venue. Slug & Lettuce previously occupied a location on St Vincent Street, closing in January 2023 to make way for student accommodation.

The new venue's interior will include VIP areas with sofa seating in fabric and metallic faux leather, with tables finished in a pink terrazzo style tile, and a dedicated cocktail masterclass area disguised as a glamorous dresser unit. The bar features a brushed brass arch features, bronze mirrors and colour changing LED lighting that changes throughout the day to match the mood, as well as a bespoke mural depicting modern foliage.

Outside, an eye-catching disco ball arch marks the entrance on West George Street, interspersed with green foliage, ensuring a showstopping entrance for all guests.

Slug & Lettuce West George Street will be open until 3am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and will offer 50 per cent off cocktails between Monday and Thursday.

The venue also includes direct access to nightclub, PopWorld, upstairs. Slug & Lettuce’s 400 - capacity sister venue has also benefited from the renovation, with a fresh new look for reopening.

Hollie McKenzie, General Manager at Slug & Lettuce, Glasgow, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing Slug & Lettuce back to Glasgow with a contemporary new look. The St Vincent Street venue was incredibly popular, so with a new, refreshed vibe and brand-new prime location in the city centre, we’re all set for even more good food, good drinks and good times! Slug & Lettuce is renowned for its boozy brunch, which is available all week long and the striking new décor is sure to make the perfect setting for brunch in Glasgow. We can’t wait to see you there!”
