Glasgow will soon be welcoming a new LGBTQ+ nightclub in the city centre.

Planning bosses gave plans to transform The Lampost Bar at 37 Saltmarket into the inclusive venue the go-ahead this week.

As previously reported by the Evening Times, Bonjour Ltd, applied to use the former pub as a licensed performance, arts and events space for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and other sexual identities) community.

The club will have a license for the hours of 7pm to 3am, seven days a week, but in practice the premises would not be open all that time.

Outwith the hours, it is proposed that the club is used as a meeting space for charities and groups.

In their decision, planning bosses said: “Subject to suitable safeguarding conditions, the use as a nightclub is unlikely to significantly impact existing residential uses given the use of the site as a public house is established and the property is located underneath an active railway bridge.”
