Roof terrace

As one of only two south-facing terraces in Glasgow city centre, this space enjoys incredible sunshine and has been carefully designed to show off both the exposed original brickwork and views of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed chimney – an architectural treasure! 

With ample seating, floral decorations and lighting, plus use of a pop-up bar, this delightful and unique space is perfect for private parties and special events. We fully cover the terrace and even have heaters for those days where the Glasgow sun isn’t quite shining! The rooftop terrace is the perfect place to relax, with a delicious lunch menu and a carefully curated drinks menu to suit all your spring & summer needs!
