Hyde Bar in Glasgow has been announced as a finalist for the Desperados New Bar of the Year prize at the 2014 DRAM Scottish Licensed Trade Awards, which take place at The Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on Monday July 7th.
The Desperados New Bar of the Year award recognises venues that bring fresh vitality to the Scottish on-trade, and demonstrate a commitment to quality and an environment that oozes appeal.
Sitting just off the bottom of Byres Road, Hyde is a new venture from Ian Donaldson and Edward Fox, and adds a cool, laid back but edgy dimension to the west end bar scene. DRAM’s judges were impressed by both the standard of service and the warm and stylish décor.
The awards, dubbed the licensed trade ‘Oscars,’ are organised by licensed trade magazine, DRAM. Now in their 19th year, they are the longest-established awards of their kind in Scotland, recognising excellence in Scotland’s bar, restaurant and hospitality industries.
