A GLASGOW bar will close at the end of the month after three years in business.
The New York-inspired 63rd+1st will shut the doors of its Bothwell Street venue after a drop in footfall.
The bar opened in September 2021 and it was a project by TGI Fridays owner Hostmore, who said its sales have waned this year.

This closure in Glasgow follows three other venues in Cobham, Harrogate and Edinburgh being shut down.
The brand was launched in 2021 and took inspiration from TGI Fridays with a New York-influenced food and cocktails menu.
Hostmore, which has 85 TGI Fridays venues in the UK, said getting rid of the brand would boost its earnings in the future.
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
