ONE of the most impressive dining rooms in Scotland's biggest city will not be reopening, it has emerged.
Hutchesons City Grill was based in a landmark hidden in plain sight, which had been transformed into a restaurant over three levels.
The building is category A-listed and had fallen into disrepair, but underwent a £1.4 million refurbishment in 2014.
James Rusk told the Glasgow Times the restaurant has closed, adding that he hopes that the historic hall continues to be looked after.
The building was designed to be a hospital for the elderly but was never used for that purpose. Instead it served as a library, bank, school and shops over the years.
Hutchesons City Grill was also used as a shooting location for Oscar-nominated film The Wife (2017), starring Glenn Close.
Rusk & Rusk have reopened The Spanish Butcher - their Bar El Sabio will have a series of cocktails inspired by Spanish ferias and artists - and The Butchershop Grill remains a popular place to have a burger with a view of Kelvingrove Museum.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
