A new "elevated" dive bar and music venue is set to open in the city centre. Lucky Strike will take over the spot previously occupied by cocktail and dining spot August House later this month. The venue is inspired by American-style rock and indie dive bars and aims to transport Glasgow diners to the streets of New York City.
Stevie Holt, the executive chef, who started his culinary career at 15, is at the helm. He has previously cooked for some of Scotland's biggest music stars, including KT Tunstall, Sandi Thom, and Deacon Blue.

"We set out to create the New York dive bar of our dreams. "Hopefully, we’ve elevated the concept." The venue will serve up American eats, including smash burgers, loaded fries, and hot dogs, alongside beers and cocktails.
Euan Barker, general manager at Lucky Strike, said: "Lucky’s is the style of place that has always drawn me; and my experience in the industry so far, running TABAC, and before that The Palais, has all been setting me up for an experience like this. "For someone who has worked in, and has very close ties to the Glasgow music scene in particular, I’m ecstatic to take on this challenge. "With the amalgamation of beer, bourbon and good old-fashioned American Diner scran hand-in-hand with the draw of live music and fun events in a dive-style bar; it’s a recipe for success.
" Lucky Strike is the latest venture from Lazzurri Group, who also own Tabac, Devil of Brooklyn, and The Last Bookstore..
