The opening date for a new city centre bar offering a ‘contemporary take on the classic public house’ has today been announced.
Taking over the former space of Roberta’s Italian restaurant at 140 St Vincent Street in Glasgow will be Hope & Vincent, which is set to welcome its first customer on Monday, October 30.
Sure to appeal to sports fans, the venue has been fully refurbished with 10 screens and an 8ft projector strategically placed for showing live entertainment including Premiership Football, F1, Rugby Internationals and more.

The bar will also house its own private theatre room with a 65-inch screen available to rent for corporate events and social gatherings.

Ahead of the opening later this month, Hope & Vincent general manager Stuart Kilpatrick said: "Located in the centre of Glasgow, Hope & Vincent is bringing a whole new level of seriously stylish socialising, mid-week laid-back vibes and let loose weekend action.
“Hope & Vincent will offer punters a unique experience combining the thrill of watching live sports with proper food, real ales, our signature cocktails and a wide selection of spirits and wines".
