VEGA, the popular top-floor bar and restaurant at YOTEL Glasgow, has undergone a major refurbishment, unveiling a bold and vibrant new look along with the launch of one of the city’s most distinctive nightlife experiences – the ‘U-Bar’.
The refurbishment features a redesigned layout, modern furnishings, bold new lighting – an updated interior aesthetic that elevates both style and functionality. The new design optimises bar space, improves guest flow, and highlights VEGA’s stunning panoramic views of the skyline.
Central to the transformation is the new 13-seater U-Bar – Glasgow’s first fully customisable nightlife concept. Guests can reserve the entire U-shaped bar for a private, themed experience, complete with bespoke food and drink menus crafted by VEGA’s expert bartenders.
The first U-Bar packages at VEGA YOTEL Glasgow include:
- Sky High Classics – elevated takes on cocktail favourites
- Bootleggers – an illicit prohibition-era experience
- VEGA Disco – inspired by the venue’s famed Disco Brunch with unique takes on 70s and 80s style classic cocktails.
- U – where bartenders reimagine two drinks guests love and two they loathe, with surprising results
A private U-Bar experience at VEGA adds a distinctive twist to any event. Whether it’s a celebration, team outing, or something a little different, the space becomes your own private bar. Ideal for cocktail-making sessions, team-building activities, or simply unwinding with expertly crafted drinks, the U-Bar offers a memorable and flexible setting. VEGA can also create a bespoke package tailored to your group, ensuring a fully personalised experience from start to finish.
Great spaces for your corporate events at VEGA YOTEL Glasgow
As part of the refurb, VEGA has also unveiled new areas designed for larger group bookings of up to 30 guests – ideal for celebrations, team socials, and special occasions. The venue’s updated ‘Meetings and Experiences’ packages bring a fresh approach to corporate events, blending adaptable meeting spaces with standout extras like Scotland’s only neon-lit bowling alley, themed cocktail sessions, and skyline dining.
The VEGA Retreat package – tailored for meetings and corporate away days – has been enhanced to include exclusive U-Bar bookings as part of the experience. Priced at £75pp, the package includes 24-hour access to VEGA’s Central View for karaoke, board meetings, meals and interactive activities. There’s also bowling available to help you unwind at the end of the day. You’ll also have a 60” TV, and 65” interactive whiteboard, plus unlimited tea, coffee, and water. If your team need a place to stay, you can upgrade your Retreat with an overnight Premium Queen Room at YOTEL Glasgow.
