West End pizzeria, Sano is now open in the former Bar Square, at the junction of Candleriggs and Bell Street which will become their largest venue in the city. Sano offers ‘authentic Neapolitan pizza’, using the finest traditional ingredients, sourced from Italy. The unit also operates a bespoke pizza slice van in the central square, with takeaway available from a counter facing onto Bell Street.
Sano Co-owner, Raymond MacHugh, said: “Merchant Square is the perfect venue for our latest restaurant. Merchant City is buzzing right now, and we are excited to have our largest SANO to date with 150 seats right in the middle of the action.
“We are known for our high-quality Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza at value for money prices and that is what we’re delivering at SANO Merchant City alongside a great cocktail menu for those on a proper night out and for the first time a new single slice offering for those looking for a quick bite.”
Due to open in September 2024, Vodka Wodka Merchant Square plans to open in time for the surge of new freshers for that first taste of Glaswegian nightlife. The new Merchant City venue expects to continue the 25 year long legacy, offering a fresh and exciting experience for all whilst retaining the core elements that have made Vodka Wodka a must-visit on a night out in and amongst Glasgow’s thriving nightlife. The venue will be open 7 days a week from 12pm till late, offering their classic range of cocktails and spirits, featuring the legendary drinks; cocktail Jolly Rancher and the 1L sharing shot bottle, Kamikaze - two drinks offerings that have been on the menu since the beginning of Vodka Wodka back in the 1990’s. Expect to see all of the classic Vodka Wodka features, with regular DJ’s and nightlife offerings, plus a robust drinks offering that not only is affordable but creative and diverse.
Fraser McIlwraith, Vodka Wodka’s founding Director, commented: “Vodka Wodka has gone from strength to strength over the years and the decision to expand is something we have considered for a long time. We are confident that we have not only found a great location that embodies what Vodka Wodka truly is, but we know that we have also perfected the business model and can replicate the brand successfully in a new area.”
Julie Edwin, Director of Asset Management for Ediston, who manage Merchant Square, said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming two vibrant new hospitality offerings to Merchant Square. Sano have opened their biggest pizza restaurant in the city, and we’re delighted to see them taking over the former Bar Square. Vodka Wodka is a well known and much-loved brand and we’re looking forward to welcoming them to Merchant Square. Both businesses complement our existing offer, while attracting a new customer base. We are also host to a new and exciting market at the Square on the 2nd and 4th weekend of each month.”
