Glasgow cocktail bar named one of UK's best launches new try and test nights

A Glasgow cocktail bar recently named one of the best in the UK is launching new 'try and test' nights, meaning Glaswegians can give their latest creations a go - for a discounted price.

In February of this year, we reported on the success of mysterious speakeasy Absent Ear, after it was announced as the 26th best cocktail bar in the whole of the UK.

The top-secret reservation-only night spot has created quite the buzz since opening last year.

And now Glaswegians will get a chance to sip on their exquisite cocktails - before they even make the menu.

Every Tuesday, from 5pm until 2am, guests can join the team at the hidden venue as they develop their new range.

Absent Ear chiefs claim their latest tipples are 'staggeringly innovative'.

They said: "Glasgow’s best-kept secret, hidden premium cocktail lounge The Absent Ear, has never been one to do things the normal way.

"Now they are once again doing things the Absent Ear way as they look to launch a whole new menu of staggeringly innovative, ground-breaking cocktails which are very far from just drinks. They’re art.

"They are going to test their craziest, wildest, most out-there ideas, the ones that even the Absent Ear team thought might be a stretch too far – and all at discounted prices.

"You’ll be asked for feedback on what you try and the most popular concepts might just find their way on to that new menu – so you will have helped create it.

"Some ideas will work, some may not – but you are guaranteed to try high-end product from Scotland’s leading liquor artists."

Group manager Alex Riches said: "We like to do things our own way, whatever conventional wisdom says.

"Our team are incredibly talented, creative and artistic so we want to let them share their wildest, weirdest ideas and let the public tell us what they like.

"So join team Absent Ear and help us decide what’s next for the taste of mystery."
