A POPULAR pub in Scotland’s largest city was reportedly robbed and vandalised over the weekend.
The Clutha, located on Glasgow’s Stockwell Street, had a “significant” amount of money stolen after vandals broke into the premises late on Friday night.
Pictures shared on social media showed one of the pub doors had been broken during the incident.
In the same post, the owners wrote: “We’re devastated to share that The Clutha Bar was broken into late last night, causing severe damage and a significant loss of cash.
“As a charity-run pub, this is a tough blow, but our loyal team has worked hard all morning to make sure we’re open again today.
“If you have any information, please contact our team or Police Scotland. Thank you for your support.”
In a follow up post, owners shared that the bar was able to reopen the following day with a replacement door.
They posted an image of a sign posted in the pub which read: “Due to unforeseen late night ‘Bam’ activities, the beer garden will be closed for the next few days.”
In November 2013, The Clutha was destroyed after a police helicopter crashed into the premises, killing all three staff aboard the vehicle and seven punters inside.
It partially reopened in 2015, with then-first minister Nicola Sturgeon in attendance. The Clutha Trust was later formed, supporting charitable causes around the city.
Police Scotland confirmed that an enquiry into the incident would be underway, telling STV: “Around 2pm on Saturday, September 27, 2025, we received a report of a break-in and theft from a premises on Stockwell Street, Glasgow.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
