The premises comprise the grade B Listed former Kelvinside Station, designed in the Italianate style by the renowned Scottish architect Sir J.J. Burnett, and constructed in 1897; with a number of more modern extensions.
Reconstructed in the late 1990’s, the premises now offer at ground level a restaurant housing some 80 – 100 covers, and a dispense bar / waiting area with seating for another 10. There is a fully equipped kitchen, plus stores and the usual offices.
The mezzanine cocktail bar, which can seat another ten persons, is accessed by an impressive stairway from the side of the ground floor, with its own entry from the car parking area. This area can be used either on its own or as a reception / holding area for the first floor restaurant. Access to the external roof terrace is also gained from this area.
A further flight of steps leads into the first floor restaurant, which can also double as a function room. This area can seat around 60 people as a restaurant. It is served by its own fully equipped kitchen, and shares toilets and other offices with the mezzanine bar.
