Bath Street in Glasgow’s city centre is set to welcome a new addition to its plethora of bars and restaurants called Howlin’ Wolf. It’s the latest venture from Paul Bright and Mark Lappin, the duo behind Slouch and Maggie Mays.
The venue, on the site of the former Monkey Bar, is undergoing a total refurbishment Paul told Dram, “We are totally transforming it. We’ve opened the space right up and changed it totally with an old world feel. We want to make it look like something which was grand in it’s day but has faded and it looks like we’ve brought it back to life.”
Howlin’ Wolf will offer food and live music – the successful blueprint of the pairs other bars. The new venue takes its name from legendary 1950s and 60s Blues singer Chester Arthur Burnett, better known as Howlin’ Wolf and Paul says the venue will be inspired by this genre of music, “We’re using blues as a starting point, all our music will have its roots in blues. The blues feel, and live music all tie in with the feel we’re going for.”
