I BLOODY MARY cocktail bar has opened on Vinicombe Street in Glasgow‘s West End. Upscale and smart. its list of mixed drinks is comprehensive: from French martinis to vanilla mohitos. Most of the concoctions feature premium spirits and fresh juices. Food is served in the afternoon until early evening. The menu is fairly basic with roast vegetable paninis. pasta of the day. ciabatta with mozzarella or grilled chicken and bacon salad. There are also a few outdoor tables.
I ALWAYS SUNDAY IS the shiny, happy name of a new cafe on the Edinburgh Royal Mile. In the premises once occupied by Elephant Sufficiency, the new place‘s stated goal is to create ‘that Sunday feeling‘ every day of the week. Open from 83m until 6pm during the week and until 9pm at the weekend, Always Sunday is the brainchild of ex- Malmaison Brasserie manager Claire Beecroft and chartered accountant Mary
Macdonald. ’ t’ ‘2’? ’- Z l-- . 5 r
