BAR operator Bijoux has been given permission to use premises in Glasgow City Centre as a restaurant, bar and entertainment venue.

Planning officials have approved the proposal for 146 Bath Street, part of the Sauchiehall Centre building, between Bath Street and Sauchiehall Street.

A statement submitted with the application explained: “Bijoux is a well-established bar in Newcastle and in Marbella, Spain. It’s our goal to take Bijoux to the next level by opening a restaurant/bar in Glasgow.

“We want to bring an international and European feel to Bijoux Glasgow as far as being known as a great place to come relax have a good time and drink. We want to be known as an all-round venue both for eating and drinking.

“It’s our goal at Bijoux Glasgow to have everything under the one roof — come sit have a great relaxing meal with some awesome wine or come chill listen to some music with friends and have a fantastic time and maybe have a slice of pizza while you’re there.”

Opening times would be noon till 4pm then 6pm till 3am. Last orders for food would be at midnight.
