The taqueria and cantina bar on Hope Street aims to become the city’s go-to for a Mexican nightlife experience and will introduce live DJ’s playing a selection of the finest funk, house and disco tracks every Thursday to Saturday.
Founder and Restaurateur Kevin Campbell said: “MEZCAL is a place you can stop in for a bite, or stay all night listening to DJs, eating small plates and drinking delicious cocktails with friends.
"We’re very excited to welcome everyone from far and wide to MEZCAL to drink, eat, party, dance on the tables and more than anything, enjoy a taste of Mexico city in the heart of Glasgow."
