Beresford Lounge announce Lounge in the Lane series of events - including champagne brunch and cocktails

What’s happening? As reported in January, The Beresford Lounge will open this year in the famous art deco building - the Beresford Hotel - on Sauchiehall Street. Details of the venue have been slowly emerging, with residents of Glasgow being asked to choose the new bar's name last year.

Snippets from the venue's social media show that the Beresford Lounge looks to have been transformed into a 1930s style cocktail bar with a sleek interior of statement lights, feature seating areas and a pastel and metallic colour scheme. The standout addition to the new look is a mural by artist, Catherine Abel.

On 22 July 2021 the team successfully raised £81,958 with 160 supporters in 55 days due to a crowdfunding effort.

Now customers are being invited to a series of pop up events to experience what’ll be on offer when the lounge opens in late 2021.
