Dundee’s Abandon Ship arrives on Mitchell Street next month. Designed for food, drink, street art and good times, the new venue stands out from the crowd, marrying together bold independent retail and the best of modern Scottish hospitality.
Set over two stylish floors, the immersive setting has impressive interiors containing over 150 square metres of striking, hand-drawn artwork from Abandon Ship creative director, Richard Davies, that took weeks to complete.
Drawing inspiration from traditional tattoo art, pop culture and his own sense of humour, Davies artwork plays homage to the brand’s roots.
Specialising in Americana soul food, guests can expect imaginative small plates from their kitchen alongside burgers, Southern-style wings, as well as original cocktails and craft beers from their team of top bartenders.
Meanwhile, downstairs is dedicated to fashion and will be home to lifestyle brand Abandon Ship Apparel, in a ‘Dressing Room’ laden with cool stuff and exclusive merchandise that you can browse while having a drink.
Speaking about the upcoming launch, operations director, AJ McMenemy said: “With Abandon Ship Bar we are returning to our cultural home and our brand roots with our opening in Glasgow. Rich set up Abandon Ship Apparel in the East End of the city almost a decade ago, before we opened our first bar in Dundee in 2019. This feels like our homecoming and we can’t wait to show Glasgow what we’re all about.”
Abandon Ship Bar is set to open on 17 September at 43 Mitchell St, Glasgow G1 3LA.
