The Locale, Glasgow

Sualdo’s closed September 2018 and reopened on 26th October 2018 as The Gin Rickey. I googled it today and discovered that it has closed too. Photos on the way. So that’s another one that didn’t last long.

Presumably a shiny modern bar during daylight hours, but almost pitch-dark later on... However, in the gloom, you can make out a ceiling that is sufficiently high to accommodate a mezzanine that is almost equal in size to the low booth seating area beside the bar at street level. Split-level rear patio. No real ale, of course, but unusually opted for the bottled Fürstenberg (£4.30) from the fridge in preference to one of the limited keg offerings. Otherwise, the music was quite good.
