Now, the venue revealed it will be reopening as the 'Bellview'.
Bosses of the establishment said it will be a 'stunning restaurant, bar, and function venue serving up mouth-watering meals'.
They also said the eatery will have a beer garden. At the moment, the owners of the food spot have yet to reveal an opening date for it.
Earlier this month, we reported how Cesar's - what the venue was formerly known as - announced its closure.
In a post on social media, the watering hole shared two pictures of the venue, one with its sign on it and another with its sign removed.
Alongside the images, the watering hole wrote: "Currently closed. New chapter for this place. Big changes coming soon.
"Food, functions, and so much more. Will update everyone soon."
The much-loved Hoops boozer in the North Lanarkshire town opened back in 2020.
Described as being a 'modern, yet traditional Irish-style bar', it was dedicated to the late Billy McNeill.
Ex-Celtic hero Billy made over 480 appearances for the Parkhead club. The footballing icon also captained Celtic's Lisbon Lions to their European Cup victory in 1967.
During his football career, McNeill also played for Scotland and managed Celtic, Clyde, Aberdeen, Manchester City, and Aston Villa.
