The Piper Whisky Bar in Glasgow’s George Square is opening it’s new Whisky Lounge in early March after a make-over.
Gillian Kirkland, who is celebrating her 10th anniversary of running the bar said, “I turned the pub to a Whisky Bar eight years ago and the malt count currently stands at over 200. It’s been a great 10 years, but I wanted to create more space for private functions and our whisky tasting events.
Since its transformation, The Piper has continued to go from strength to strength, which Gillian puts down to a successful formula that is certainly working for her and her hardworking team. She said, “Why are we successful? The offering doesn’t change. Good food, good entertainment, good service seven days a week. We don’t show football. We don’t need to.”
“I also host a monthly whisky club in my function suite and I felt it was time to make more of the space and to offer my members something a bit special.”
The refurb is being done my MD Hospitality and Design Director Francesca Dunn explains, “It has been a extremely exciting project to work on, Gillian and I have created a spectacular space for great whiskies to be celebrated and enjoyed.”
Gillian adds, “It will be a dream come true and I can’t wait to share the final result with our wonderful customers! “
