MacSorley’s in Glasgow closed suddenly back in September last year,
but the Star Pubs and Bars pub is now under the stewardship of
new tenants, mother and son team Debbie and Brandon Doherty,
and they are introducing a novel form of pub entertainment – a
gospel choir!
Star Pubs & Bars invested £48k on overhauling the pub and Brandon
told DRAM, “The layout of the bar will remain the same what is
new, however, is the kitchen because we plan on expanding the food
offering considerably compared to when it was last in business, plus
there’s a new PA system.”
The bar has been synonymous with music in its recent past and the
Dohertys plan on continuing this tradition.
Explained Brandon, “We plan to have lots of musical instruments dotted around the place, like a piano, banjos and guitars, so that customers can jam away as and when they like. We’re also playing host to a gospel choir every Sunday morning as well as all live band PAs of course, and we also hope to be doing tie-ins with music venues like the 02 and Classic Grand.”
