Elevated dive bar and grassroots music venue, Lucky Strike, has opened in Glasgow in the former August House unit. This is the second venue the Lazzurri Group, who also own Tabac and Devil Of Brooklyn, have launched in the past few months after introducing The Last Bookstore on Hope Street in October.
Inspired by American-style rock and indie dive bars, the new venue will offer beers, cocktails, American eats and live music with late opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Live bands will also play each weekend at the event space downstairs.
Euan Barker, General Manager at Lucky Strike, said: “Lucky’s is the style of place that has always drawn me; and my experience in the industry so far, running TABAC, and before that The Palais, has all been setting me up for an experience like this. For someone who has worked in, and has very close ties to the Glasgow music scene in particular, I’m ecstatic to take on this challenge.
“With the amalgamation of beer, bourbon and good old-fashioned American Diner scran hand-in-hand with the draw of live music and fun events in a dive-style bar; it’s a recipe for success.
“The scene here in Glasgow for live music is almost unparalleled on a national level, and the thought of being able to create a stamp on that stage is something that fills me with both elation and anticipation.”
