226 Gallowgate
This unit was vacant and part derelict for a few years and failed to attract a retail tenant.
ROCK DCM transformed this negative position into a positive.
226 Gallowgate is the location, not the name. Formerly Bairds Bar, the site has been an integral part of the life and personality of the Barras for decades, and has seen a rich and varied history.
This bar with no name is considered the place that doesn’t need one! The people will reference and develop the identity, and the location and history bring a truly unique and powerful energy. We are all about being inclusive, friendly and creating the conditions for a varied and creative environment, filled with arts, music, food, drink and good times.
The unique space will be populated with functional Barras Built craft, furniture and items procured the Barras way. Challenging, sad and joyful books and poetry are dotted around the pub, and the piano stool is full of sheet music, ready to welcome all to come and express and enjoy yourself. This will be an evolving and creative space for people to come together to debate, question and exchange stories through conversations, songs, food and drink.
