A Glasgow bar will serve its final customers next weekend after almost 25 years in the city centre.
The Lab, located just off Buchanan Street in Springfield Court, is set to close on Saturday, July 20.
Announcing the news on social media this morning, the team at the cocktail bar thanked its customers and staff for their support over more than two decades.
A statement read: "It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that after nearly a quarter of a century, the Lab will be closing it's doors for the very last time this Saturday, the 20th of July.
"We would like to say a massive thank you to all our customers and staff, past and present. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible.
"For those of you not able to say a final goodbye, we will ,in due course, organise a wee night out at a venue still to be decided to raise a glass to the Lab and share our happy and sad memories."
There have since been over 100 comments and reactions to the post as customers shared fond memories of visits over the years.
