THE old Courtyard bar in Glasgow City Centre has undergone a major transformation as it prepares to reopen.

Cùl Cùil will be the latest addition to the city’s bustling social scene.

A 185-year old venue which has recently undergone a huge makeover, the Cùl Cùil team has revamped the full space.

A brand new lounge bar has been added in, as well as a group dining area and a new light, open-air and heated backyard garden space.

From above a glass enclosed, tiered mezzanine, punters lucky enough to grab a seat will be able to take advantage of a balcony view over a twinkly festoon-lit garden patio.

Customers can look forward to plenty of food and drinks, with a varied snack and sharing platter menu on offer too.

The historic building first opened in 1833 as a public house, which became a go-to for visiting fishermen and then a regular stop off for local Post Office night shift workers.

The new owners have spent the best part of 2018 planning and turning it around into the latest trendy venue in the city.

The Cùl Cùil team promises something “completely different from anything else in the city,” offering a heated garden, group party area, ten-keg taps and wide range of craft beers.

The opening weekend from Friday September 28 to Sunday 30 will see customers get free fizz and selected beers, half-price cocktails, two-for-one sharing platters and other Cùl Cùil treats from 5pm onwards.
