Charlie Brown's on Victoria Road in Glasgow will close later this month. The hidden cocktail bar , located up the stairs from sister venue Daku - a Japanese restaurant - has only been open for a year but has made its mark on the drinks scene in the city.
The bar, and Daku, are being turned into something else by current owners. Posting on their social media today (5 July), the team wrote: “Dear cocktail crushers, Our compact cocktail bar on Vicky Road will close its door for the final time on Sunday 14th July. “Of course we are all just devastated, but extremely keen to have lots of fun for the next two weeks & no doubt a super Sunday send-off.
“Our team of 3 bartenders were given the news, that along with what was once Daku (next door), the space we take up as CB's is going to be developed into something else. We get it, it's okay. But we'll absolutely take all the hugs going! (Except George, he will come to you if he wants one okay) “Listen, there will definitely be more info on our happenings & appreciation posts to come.
But for now what's important to us is to say a bloody massive THANK YOU to all who have ever had anything to do with Charlie Brown's! Regulars, brand reps, one off time visitors, locals, suppliers, event organiser.
