Cranside, claimed to be “Glasgow's ultimate outdoor drinking, dining, and entertainment destination”, has opened for the season.
Owners behind Cranside Summer Gardens said it has been reimagined, with three new spaces and a summer makeover.
Palm trees, garden picnic tables and benches, and a beach hut Tiki style bar have been added, as well as an “Aperol Tuscan Tree” under Glasgow's iconic Finnieston Crane.
Guests can relax in the sun while sipping a cocktail at the new Terraza Di Aperol and Walled Gardens, while the Sugar Hut Bar's new watering hole serves punch bowls, cocktail slushies, and tropical fruit juices.
New resident food kitchens have been added to the bill including FUMO, a new BBQ offering curated by the team at Rioja Finnieston while WHIPPED provides ice creams, cakes, cooling sorbets and fruity lollies.
Poke Bowl and the Big Breakfast are also new for summer 2022, offering healthy and hearty options to please all palates. From today, a choice of ten restaurant brands, including Romanos, Halloumi, Kilmurry & Co, NORI, and XI'AN, will be available on the Cranside app alongside these brands.
From this weekend, live DJs sets will take place every Friday and Saturday night with the introduction of the Asahi Sunset Club as well as a newly added Chill Out Zone with fire pits, bean bags, and deck chairs for daytime lounging.
Cranside Summer Gardens will host a variety of live entertainment including brunches, comedy nights and acoustic sessions.
Cranside Summer Gardens is open daily 12pm throughout the summer from Tuesday June 28 - September 30.

Marc Crothall: Challenges on every front, but tourism will deliver for Scotland this summer
AS we move towards the last day of the school term, full of optimism for the joys of the season ahead, you could be forgiven for thinking that summer is just beginning.
It doesn’t quite feel like we’re halfway through the season already; midsummer’s day has just past but for Scotland’s tourism industry, the season is yet to experience the buoyancy we normally feel at this time for year.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
