Glasgow’s bite at the Big Apple

Joseph Todd has taken the leasehold on the site at 185 Hope Street, Glasgow and plans to turn it into a New York style bar and dinner called NycGlasgow. Over the last few years it has been a number of businesses including latterly Heavenly, but originally it was the Candy Bar. Todd, a former doorman worked in the security business for eight years, and has just completed an HND in Event Management. This is his first outing as a lessee. He told DRAM, “We will open at the end of the month following a slight re-fresh of the interior, although we haven’t done anything structurally. The interior was an ugly shade of green which has now been replaced with two shades of grey. There’ll also be a big red apple lampshade taking pride of place, and some digital prints of New York city landmarks.” The food side of the business will concentrate on American classics like burgers, fries and steaks.
