Glasgow pubs: Popular Glasgow bar locals feared had closed for good to reopen with 'bold new vision'

Many believed the city centre favourite had closed for good.

A popular Glasgow bar has announced the exact date when it will reopen.

Driftwood, on the corner of St George’s Road and Sauchiehall Street, will open their doors in the city centre on October 30.

The bar disappeared from social media in July which led many to believe the city centre favourite had closed for good.

Driftwood, which is now under new ownership, say they are returning with a bold new vision featuring a mix of old favourites, new cocktails, DJs and more.
