A new dive bar and grassroots music venue is set to open in Glasgow city centre this month.
The Lazurri Group, known for city venues including Tabac and The Devil of Brooklyn, has announced plans to launch Lucky Strike at the Mitchell Street unit formerly home to August House.
Inspired by American-style rock and indie dive bars, the new venue is headed up by executive chef Stevie Holt with a menu that will 'transport Glasgow diners to the streets of New York City'.
This will include the likes of smash burgers, loaded fries, and hot dogs.
Elsewhere, there will be up to 12 beer taps behind the bar and a cocktail list with classics available from £7.
"We set out to create the New York dive bar of our dreams.
"Hopefully, we’ve elevated the concept. "

Live bands will play each weekend at the event space downstairs at Lucky Strike, providing Glasgow’s best local talent with a chance to perform.
The bar will also showcase ‘Sirens’, a piece of art created by street artist Conzo, depicting mermaid artwork in acrylic and gouache, which was previously housed in the Fat Lobster restaurant on Hope Street.
"For someone who has worked in, and has very close ties to the Glasgow music scene in particular, I’m ecstatic to take on this challenge.
“With the amalgamation of beer, bourbon and good old-fashioned American Diner scran hand-in-hand with the draw of live music and fun events in a dive-style bar; it’s a recipe for success.
“The scene here in Glasgow for live music is almost unparalleled on a national level, and the thought of being able to create a stamp on that stage is something that fills me with both elation and anticipation.”
