A Glasgow city centre bar which has for years been popular with sports fans, students and gig-goers has permanently closed.
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.
"We want to thank our customers; both those who have been regulars for years, and those we have known only a short time.
"Thank you for making The Hall what it is today."

Management went on to invite "everyone" to join them for their final week of trading.
Yesterday, a photo of staff members was shared alongside a message stating: "It’s been a pleasure Sauchiehall Street.
"Thanks for being sound to us, goodbye."
Comments have since described the closure of a city centre "institution" as the "end of an era", while To Let signs have been reportedly been added to the exterior of the venue.
The Stonegate Group has been approached for comment.

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.
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
