GRAHAMSTON AT THE ATRIUM Bar

True to the saying “what’s past is prologue,” our first-ever concept bar narrates the story of Grahamston, Glasgow’s forgotten village. The site of home brewing, theatre, iron smelting and heavy industry, Grahamston was a town of rich culture and lasting heritage. To serve the town justice, our bar provides an extensive selection of craft beers and ales, premium and exotic spirits, an impressive whisky gantry and fine, premium wines. Accompanied by 5-star comfort foods, the bar’s offerings make it the ideal place to relax, meet friends, catch up on business, share a laugh or even watch some vintage theatre. So whether it’s pre-dinner drinks, a well-earned nightcap, a morning pastry, a premium wine from the modern Enomatic machine or a hearty bite, Grahamston at the Atrium has just what you’re searching for. Our little “village” is always open for you to stop by and enjoy.
