Inside Merchant City's Maggie May's which has had a £400,000 revamp

Maggie May's in the Merchant City is to relaunch this month with a new look thanks to the cash injection by its owners.

The venue, which is opened till 3am every night, is owned by Oli Norman and Stephen White who also own several Glasgow pubs including Sloans and The Griffin in the city centre and West End favourite Brel.

The work to freshen up the city boozer took around four weeks and punters will see a new stage upstairs which has been created for live bands.

The old restaurant area’s has also been smashed through to create a more open plan feel with new booths and décor, and a menu to boot.

The new menu for Maggie’s Buns is full of burgers, all day baps, big taco bowls of chilli, homemade desserts, boozy shakes and loads more favourite dishes.

Downstairs the basement has been kitted out with new booths, more seating and even more TV screens for showing sports and live events, and across the place vintage records, electric guitars and cool neon signs tie into Maggie’s rock ‘n’ roll history.

Helen Payne, General Manager of Maggie’s, said: “It’s been a crazy four weeks, and there’s still some bits to be added, but it looks brilliant – it’s everything you know and love about Maggie’s but cranked right up and with our awesome new restaurant – Maggie’s Buns.

“We’ve added loads of booths, some with TVs in them, and long tables that are free to book for groups coming in for nights out, or to watch the match/catch some live music – and some cracking new deals on food and drinks.

“It’s geared up for everything Maggie’s should be - laid back dining, live music, sport and late nights.”

An official relaunch is expected to be held later this month by the venue which is a popular haunt for revellers in the Merchant City.
