Owners of a popular bar have applied for permission to move into Bath Street - after having their first application knocked back.

Bijoux, who already run a well-established bar in Newcastle and Marbella, Spain, have submitted a second proposal to the council.

It comes after permission to transform an unoccupied unit on Albion Street into a club was refused.

Council bosses thwarted the idea, stating that it would create unacceptable noise and disturbance for residents, to the detriment of residential area.

Developers have now applied to use empty premises at 146 Bath Street as a restaurant, bar and entertainment venue.

The property is to the side and rear of the Sauchiehall Centre and has just its entrance, under a gold structure, for a frontage.

A statement with the application explains: “Bijoux is a well-established bar in Newcastle and in Marbella, Spain. It’s our goal to take Bijoux to the next level by opening a restaurant/bar in Glasgow.

“We want to bring an international and European feel to Bijoux Glasgow as far as being known as a great place to come relax have a good time and drink. We want to be known as an all-round venue both for eating and drinking.

“It’s our goal at Bijoux Glasgow is to have everything under the one roof — come sit have a great relaxing meal with some awesome wine or come chill listen to some music with friends and have a fantastic time and maybe have a slice of pizza while you’re there.”

Opening times would be 12 noon till 4pm to catch the lunch time customers then 6pm till 3am.

Last orders for food will be at 12am.

Plans will now go before Glasgow City Council.
