"The owner Jack used to actually work in Ibiza as he used to be one of the people handing out invites to clubs and stuff. He really enjoyed living over there and liked the idea that you can sit and have your dinner, have a DJ on, day drink and for it to be all chilled out. Obviously there's the crazy party side of it, but he quite liked that kind of side of it too and he wanted to bring that to Glasgow so you wouldn't have to go on a plane anywhere, but you could still go somewhere and feel like you were just on holiday for a couple of hours."placeholder image

Cafe Ibiza is bringing live DJs, cocktails and a sun terrace to Maryhill this summer.

Cafe Ibiza have recently opened on Maryhill Road in the former premises of The Botany.

We wanted to find out what the story was and how the new bar came about, so we headed up to speak to Head Supervisor Megan who showed us around and told us a bit about the place.

"The idea of the domes is they hold four to eight people. We had an idea that they could be used for when people want to have a birthday party or just celebrate something. Even just go for a night out and you want it to be a private function, but you don't have a big group of people, it's only a couple of you. That's kind of what those are there for. So you still have a private enclosed space without having to pay hundreds and hundreds when you've only got eight people.

Megan's message to anyone unsure about Cafe Ibiza is: "I would say that it's really chill. I feel like a lot of people look at it and they're like that's just going to be for the young people. And I think not at all. We are aiming it so everybody feels welcome. Like the younger generation. The older generation. We do teas and coffees. We do cocktails. We are trying to do a bit of everything so everybody feels welcome when they come here."
