A famous Glasgow pub has responded to claims waitresses had to cover unpaid bills of "dine-and-dashers" - just one week before Christmas.
Two groups of diners were said to have popped into the upstairs area of the popular karaoke bar for food and drinks but didn't settle their bill before they left.
One person involved took to Facebook on Sunday to ask the people who left without paying to come forward.

They also claimed that the waitresses will have to cover their bills if the visitors don't come back and cough up themselves.
The post shared on social media read: "If you were upstairs in The Horseshoe Bar last night for food and drinks and left without paying could you please get in touch with them.
"I know everyone's out for a merry old time, a few drinks and it could have slipped your mind, so if this is the case then please get in touch.
"There have been two incidents last night that people have left and forgot to pay.
"As it stands this is now left for the two lovely waitresses that served you to cover the bill, not the company, on the week before Christmas.

"We all know how hard working in the hospitality sector is, especially this time of year.
"They do not need this added stress on top."
A screenshot of the post received over 450 shares and 250 comments from social media users who were fuming over the company charging their staff for unpaid bills.
However the owners of The Horseshoe Bar, Mitchells and Butlers, have since denied this was the case.
This afternoon a spokesperson for The Horseshoe Bar said: “We can confirm it is not our policy to ask team members to pay for walkouts and we will investigate any incidents where company policy is not being followed and take the appropriate action.”
