They opened the first bar in the country to pay the living wage to all staff and created a community hub with soul on Duke Street with Redmond’s. Now, brothers Conor and Luke Miskimmin have transformed another venue, this time on Glasgow’s Southside, where they both live.
Phillies, in the space previously occupied by Ketchup, will work with innovative craft breweries to allow customers to try loads of different brews.
Magic Rock, Fallen Brewing and Cromarty will all have permanent taps to rotate through their range, whilst a fourth guest tap will showcase a local, independent Glasgow brewery.
Opening from 10am and until 1am at the weekends, locals will be able to bring records to play or enjoy the venue’s own extensive vinyl collection, whilst the stage will play host to local musicians.
As you step into Phillies, you enter through Curious Liquids, a modern booze shop selling wine from off the beaten track and a quirky selection of weird and wonderful beers, all available to take home or sit in.
Food will be to the fore at Phillies with a selection of sourdough pizzas and seasonal plates which showcase the team’s passions. Expect anything from juicy double cheeseburgers or fried chicken and pickles, to braised octopus with blood orange or hay-smoked chicken.
Local artists and creatives have collaborated on the project to create the new welcoming vibe.
Co-owner Luke Miskimmin, told Glasgowist: ‘We love what’s going on in Shawlands and are really happy to now be a part of it.’
Conor added: “It’s a neighbourhood bar and a place for the people of Shawlands to really feel a part of.
To be honest, we just want to give folk a great place to try stuff and be social.’
