The Corner Shop has opened at 45 Old Dumbarton Road in Glasgow in the former Grain and Grind site.
The 39-cover Yorkhill venue is owned by Conor McGeady, Matthew Mustard (who owns the Grain and Grind coffee shops) and Gary McKernan with Connor responsible for the day to day running of the business.
Conor, who has 18 years’ experience in hospitality at the likes of Fallachan Kitchen, The Gannet, Brett and in the wine industry told DRAM, “It is such a great location and it’s always been my goal to open somewhere so when Matthew approached me and we had the same ideas it felt like the right time.
“It is essentially a wine bar, but we are very food focused as well. We have an extensive wine list which is fluid and will change regularly but we also have a great Basque and Catalan food offering. However, we don’t just sell Spanish wine – it’s new world and old world, it’s conventional and natural.
“We wanted the venue to be a laid back but also a bustling wee place that people can relax in. We are currently open five days till 10pm but hope to be open seven days soon and in the future, we are looking to extend the license and introduce an outside area.”
