On Wednesday, June 29 a statement released on social media confirmed that The Hall at 457 Sauchiehall Street would serve its final customers on Saturday, June 1.

The announcement read: "It is with regret that we must inform you that after Saturday 1st June, The Hall will close permanently.

"Thank you for making The Hall what it is today."

Earlier this week, the Herald reported that another Glasgow bar is set to shut after just three years in the city.

TGI Fridays owner Hostmore said its sales have waned this year, as the hospitality group confirmed the closure of its second cocktail bar and restaurant brand, 63rd+1st.

The Glasgow branch, located on Bothwell Street, will close at the end of the month following three other venues in Cobham, Harrogate and Edinburgh.
