Innis & Gunn has invested a six figure sum in the space, occupying the entire arch in what is a significant expansion in the continued evolution of the venue expanding the venue's capacity by around 350.

The bar is one of seven venues across the country where the brewery-fresh tank lager can be sampled. Innis & Gunn will regularly rotate Argyle St Arches exclusive brews created on site, as well as offering beer lovers the chance to take over the brew kit themselves in the months to come.

Dougal Gunn Sharp, Innis & Gunn founder and master brewer said: “We have been big fans of what the team at Argyle St Arches have been building since the venue reopened, so it’s amazing to now be a central part of the journey at what is definitely one of the most exciting venues in Scotland right now.

“The space is stunning, it’s exactly what we wanted it to be when we had initial conversations about the project a number of months ago, and we’re looking forward to showing the people of Glasgow what we have to offer as we welcome the first customers from today. We’re particularly excited about the new brewing facility, so make sure you stay up to date with our exclusive Arch brews as you won’t want to miss any.”

The Innis & Gunn bar is open alongside Platform at Argyle St Arches from Friday 7 September, and will be open from 12-10pm Friday and Saturday and from 12pm until 6pm on Sunday.
