The mighty SWG3 in Glasgow has a brand new spacious outdoor area which will be boasting a fully stocked bar, music from a rotation of most excellent DJs a barbecue from foodie giants Nomad and it will be open every Friday night starting this week. The new garden terrace forms apart of the ongoing community green space project in consultation with neighbours, resident artists and the wider community. The garden and terrace bar is dug and wean friendly. Go enjoy. Check them out on the socials and to book www.swg3.tv
