A new late-night spot is set to shake things up on the city's Mitchell Street, with cocktails, food and DJs serving up house music bangers until 1 am, seven nights a week. August House will feature stylish interiors created by specialists Rough Design, with the bar and restaurant offering a range of exciting cocktails and pan-Asian cuisine.
As well as a delicious menu, the venue is set to host various DJs seven nights a week playing the best in house music whilst special events are scheduled to be hosted regularly in the unique basement events space.
During the month of December, the downstairs space will be transformed into a winter wonderland, creating an après ski vibe.
Owner and managing director, Andy McCartney, who is behind the 200-cover bar and restaurant said it's the first of several new sites they want to open around the world: “Mitchell Street is fast becoming the place to be in Glasgow and is surrounded by great bars and restaurants.

"We’ve earmarked sites to roll out in London, New York, Dubai, and Glasgow and when this unique space with two floors became available it was too much of a good opportunity to pass up."
Describing it as the "perfect place to spend your night out on the town" with the best DJs seven nights a week playing the best in house music, he added: "It’s also a chic, yet affordable place to hang out during the day with delicious pan-Asian small plates such as our soft-shell crab tacos, fried chicken sando or the burrata.”
The cocktail menu features scintillating classic concoctions like the Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri (£9.50), to the Porn Star Martini (£10), while the Signature Cocktails list features cocktails like the Watermelon Sugar High (£9.50) created using Absolut Watermelon, watermelon, and Watermelon Red Bull; or the Peachy A$$ (£9) made with blood orange gin, peach liqueur, Cocchi Rosa, and citrus – topped off with an edible rice paper peach emoji.
On the food side of things, there is also a mouth-watering Pan-Asian influenced concept menu, featuring snacks like steamed edamame (with either sea salt or sesame & soy, £4), or choose between sweet potato (£5.50) or skinny fries (£4) with either wasabi mayo & togarashi; cheese and truffle oil; or Bloody Mary ketchup.
The team say that those looking for "more of a bite" will be enticed by the selection of small plates on offer ranging from £6 to £11; from the August House Tuna Roll made with seasoned rice, sashimi grade tuna, nori, miso truffle mayo, gold leaf, and yuzu wasabi soy; to the Soft Shell Crab Tacos made with avocado, orange salsa, chipotle mayo; or the mini lobster and prawn roll, butter toasted brioche with lobster Marie rose, celery, and old bay seasoning – there’s something for everyone.
Opening from Thursday, November 24, August House can be found at the site of the old Abandoned Ship on Mitchell Street and will run from 12pm until 1am (7 nights a week).
