A legendary city centre bar is celebrating success after being named Glasgow's pub of the year for 2022. Dozens in the food and drink industry from across the country descended on The Marriott Hotel in Glasgow earlier this week for the 2022 Scottish Hospitality Awards. The awards is described 'an exclusive celebration of the people and businesses that make the country a great place to visit or call home; from restaurants, bars and hotels to shopping complexes, festivals and cultural venues that enhance the country’s cultural landscape', with winners being voted by the public.

"Everything that we do is based on nostalgia," says Troy Allen, the founder of Rise Brands, which is responsible for 16-Bit Bar+Arcade, Pins Mechanical Co. and the members-only bar No Soliciting. Rise Brands' latest creation, Weenie Wonder, was inspired by Allen's childhood in Northeast Ohio and family trips to Michigan.
