By Susan Young The Bier Halle is 25 years old. I find that hard to believe in many ways because I was there on its opening night. In fact, we covered the opening party in our sister publication Repertoire. But not only that it looks almost identical today as it did then, bar the wear and tear, and there is not much of that when you consider the volume of people that have passed through its doors.

By Susan Young I first met Craig Munro when he was General Manager at the Hilton Doubletree in Glasgow but shortly after he headed on to pastures new taking on a role for the Chris Stewart Group as General Manager at the soon to be launched AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow, managed by RBH, in January 2023.

By Susan Young When Paul Sloan first told me about his plans for a new contemporary Chinese restaurant that would put the theatre into Chinese dining in Glasgow I wasn’t surprised. Paul and his team at Hunky Dory are not known for doing anything by halves and they have certainly delivered. The new Zhima, which translates to ‘sesame’ in Mandarin, opened last month and it is a masterpiece. The company has spent £1m transforming the former Prezzo into what is a stylish and elegant restaurant and bar.
