Platform, the iconic multi-room bar, restaurant and events space opens its sophisticated new split-level lounge bar and restaurant, Platform 1 tomorrow (Friday, November 17th). Complete with a brand new festive cocktail menu and a new winter programming that includes free activities, live local music and exciting events.

Platform 1 is not just a bar; it's a cultural hub, a place where the heart of Glasgow's vibrant spirit beats the strongest. Opening officially from 12 until late tomorrow (Friday, November 17th), Platform 1 will operate Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm until late.

The legendary venue on Argyle Street has undergone a spectacular transformation of the first of its Victorian railway arches to create a new contemporary cafe bar lounge that houses a mezzanine adorned with comfortable Chesterfield sofas, button backed leather armchairs, spacious booths and tall tables. Alongside a striking brass and gold gantry bar with forest green tiles that artfully anchors the space as you enter Platform. Every design detail has been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the pleasure of your visit and invites you to stay.

Platform 1's opening is perfectly timed to coincide with the festive season, offering a brand-new Christmas cocktail menu and a wide selection of craft beers and spirits that are sure to please this winter. Signature sips include an indulgent hazelnut white Russian, a cranberry and orange margarita, alongside hot chocolates, mulled wine and a hot Bounty with Bacardi coconut, chocolate, whipped cream with a dusting of Cocoa powder.

From the kitchen, guests can enjoy mouth-watering small plates, and stone baked pizzas, fresh from their talented team of chefs led by Jules McGuire.

Platform will also be inviting guests and friends to join them for a very busy events season as they announce a jam packed winter schedule.
