More pubs and bars in Glasgow will be allowed to stay open later after securing 1am licences.<\/p>\n

Over 50 venues in the city centre<\/a> were previously granted permission to open until 1am instead of midnight. The licences, initially awarded under a pilot scheme<\/a>, were made permanent earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Another six bars had applications to vary their licences<\/a> approved by Glasgow\u2019s licensing board on Friday. These included Oswalds, on Oswald Street, and The Locale on North Street.<\/p>\n

Licensing lawyer Stephen McGowan told the board: \u201cThere are some pubs in the city that didn\u2019t apply at that time [of the pilot] for whatever reason, that now seek to come before you to say \u2018we\u2019ve seen how successful the 1am has been for other premises, we would like to be able to take advantage of a similar terminal hour\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillors heard The Locale had a 1am condition for functions but was altering its licence to \u201callow a standard terminal hour of 1am from Monday to Sunday\u201d.<\/p>\n

Changes were also approved to the licence at 6-18 Candleriggs \u2014 which includes Grace\u2019s Irish Bar \u2014 to allow a standard terminal hour of 1am from Monday to Sunday. A 1am terminal hour was also granted for 14-18 Bothwell Street, where The Noble is based.<\/p>\n

Sections of Revolution, on Mitchell Street, and Bowlarama, on Glassford Street, can also open until 1am.<\/p>\n

Licensing lawyer Audrey Junner, who represented both premises, said Revolution was \u201ca slightly unusual one\u201d as the overall venue has a 3am terminal hour.<\/p>\n

However, a condition restricted the ground floor, which is used as a bar\/restaurant, to midnight. Ms Junner said there was \u201cno desire at this stage to convert the ground floor into a nightclub\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will continue to trade as a bar\/restaurant area,\u201d she said. \u201cBut since the 1am pilot was introduced\u2026 they have found it fairly challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added the bar has been \u201csuffering slightly\u201d with \u201ccompetitors around them being able to open until 1am\u201d.<\/p>\n

At Bowlarama, a 1am terminal hour was also secured for the ground floor only. The first floor can open later. Ms Junner said the request for the change came after a re-fit, which included baseball-style batting cages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over 50 venues were initially granted 1am licences under a pilot scheme last year.More bars have secured permission…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,10650,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-639714","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-glasgow-city-council","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-scotland","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115739104358144009","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
