A historic city pub is set to reopen this Spring.
It comes after specialist business property adviser Christie & Co secured a new tenant for the Strathduie Bar in Glasgow.
Centrally located on Blackfriars Street within the Merchant City, the Strathduie Bar has a rich history dating back to 1893.
Over recent years the pub has benefitted from locals, tourists and the Merchant City's busy nightlife scene.

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.

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.
