Meanwhile, their fun neon-lit four-lane bowling alley entertains guests with its animated ceiling projections, arched ceiling details and bespoke visual lighting effects that are triggered with the movement of bowling balls - believed to be a world first.
Operated by hotel group YOTEL, the sophisticated venue has set the bar sky-high with unparalleled city views, an exciting all-day casual dining concept with tasty sharers, high-quality small plates alongside irresistible hand-spun boozy shakes and imaginative Insta-worthy cocktails served seven days a week.
Vibrant programming lies at the heart of VEGA, with the city’s hottest DJs set to bring the party. Kenny Grieve AKA ‘The Wasp’, former Radio 1 supported artist Jay Gunning and Groove City’s Attic Room Radio resident Jay Celino are some of the top creative talent that will soundtrack your weekend.
Euan Wilson, Manager said “Our crew have been working incredibly hard over the past few months adding the finishing touches to our menus and getting the venue ready but now it’s time to show Glasgow what VEGA is all about. There’s nothing quite like us in the city and with our ambitious plans and abundance of energy, it is beyond exciting to be officially opening our doors and welcoming our first guests into the space.”
