What we know so far about Glasgow's newest culture hub
Clydeside Containers, a food, drink, and culture venue, is set to launch at 61 Broomielaw this summer.
The venue aims to become a new Glasgow city centre landmark and anticipates to attract high footfall due to its location next to the Riverboat Casino on the Broomielaw.

Constructed entirely from modified shipping containers, the venue will include an open-plan bar, six independent food vendors, a breakfast kitchen, and flexible space for public events, performances, and activations.
The venue's retractable roof will shelter some of Glasgow's best street food, alongside a curated drinks menu featuring major spirits brands, beer, and affordable classics.
Food vendors set to feature at the venue include the Crumbleologist, Pizza Cult, Café XO, Rabbit Food, Greek Street Yeeros, and Sub 126.
Meanwhile, the final unit within the hub is set to become a rotating guest pitch, showcasing independent traders and pop-ups.
Any operator looking for a chance to highlight their concepts at the venue are encouraged to apply online here:
Clydeside Containers is also designed to become a cultural hub with community programming, live podcasts, acoustic sessions, and up to 12 larger live music events planned for every year.
The venue has partnered with organisations such as the RNLI to become a Water Safety Ambassador, with more partnerships to be announced.

The team behind Clydeside Containers is made up of Glasgow-based hospitality operators and cultural creatives with experience in delivering successful venues and community-driven projects.
It is led by the team behind venues like Max's Bar, La Cheetah Club, Mikaku, and Room 2.
The venue will be open seven days a week, starting with breakfast from 7am on weekdays, with core hours running until 10pm.
An official opening date is due to be announced soon, with a full launch expected in late summer.
