Drygate is a new brewery, bar and restaurant which opened in May 2014 in a converted warehouse off  Glasgow’s Duke Street. The project is a collaboration between Williams Bros brewers and the C&C Group who brew Tennent’s.
Drygate is being billed as ‘Glasgow’s first urban craft brewery’. It features a 24 tap beer hall, an elevated beer garden, a multifunctional venue/gallery space, a bottle shop and a restaurant with views through to the brewery.

The brewing side of the business will be producing one million litres of craft beer each year but there will also be the chance for amateur brewers to try their hand – or an opportunity for a  team building exercise with a difference. The Drygate studio kit can be hired out by budding brewers who want to create their own beers.

The 120-seat Bar & Kitchen serves a brasserie-style menu. A private dining area will seat up to 25 guests. As an event venue Drygate will accommodate up to 300 guests. The operators see it as an ideal venue for a wide variety of one-off and regular events, including collaborations with innovators in music, fashion, comedy, beer and food.

The Drygate warehouse was built in the 1960s and has enjoyed a promiscuous past having previously been used as a box factory, print works, bottling plant, and as office and storage space. It is located in Drygate Street with good access to the M8 motorway. It is a five minute walk from High Street station with direct trains to Glasgow Queens Street as well as to Edinburgh.
