A POPULAR Glasgow restaurant has closed.
Bar Soba has shut its venue on Byres Road as of Sunday, May 14.
The team say the closure is permanent but that their sister venues on Mitchell Lane and in the Merchant City will remain open as usual.
Regular customers reacted to the news, with one commenting: "Sad to read this."
Another said: "Favourite place to eat in West End."
A third wrote: "That's a shame we had many a nice time there."
Founded in 1999, Bar Soba is an Asian fusion restaurant which is popular for its street food style of serving, cocktails and live DJ sets.
In addition to the three - now two - Glasgow venues, there are restaurants in Edinburgh and Leeds.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
