NICOLA Sturgeon has heaped praise on Glasgow’s new bookshop-themed bar after it opened its doors in the city.
The Last Bookstore opened in the city centre, taking over the former home of Fat Lobster with bosses promising a “visual feast” for book lovers with thousands of books lining the walls as well as a literary archway made of 1300 books.

Sturgeon, a keen reader, visited the bar with former SNP MP Anne McLaughlin and described the bar as “amazingly good”.
Writing on Instagram, she said: “Books, cocktails and chat with a pal @annemclaughlinsnp – what more could anyone want on a Saturday afternoon.

The drinks menu at the bar serves as a tribute to famous authors, including cocktails inspired by the likes of Jack Kerouac, Dorothy Parker and Ernest Hemingway while there’s also a number of beers to choose from.
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!
