A Glasgow bar has appeared in the hotly anticipated finale of a popular HBO and BBC drama.

The Citizen Bar & Restaurant, located on St Vincent Place, featured in episode six of the drama Half Man, written by Richard Gadd, the creator of Baby Reindeer.

The bar's scenes for the drama following the relationship between two men over 30 years was conducted May last year.

Emma Brennan, restaurant manager at The Citizen, said: "We are incredibly proud to see The Citizen appear in such a significant television production.

"Richard Gadd’s work has received global recognition, and it’s fantastic to see Glasgow showcased so authentically on screen.

"Being part of a production that celebrates the city and its culture is a real honour for our team."

The venue is housed in the former offices of The Glasgow Citizen newspaper and is known for its heritage interiors and contemporary Scottish menu.

Its appearance in the series highlights the bar’s historical charm and Glasgow’s appeal as a filming location.

Half Man was released in the UK by the BBC and in the US by HBO.

It has been praised for its storytelling, performances, and authentic depiction of Glasgow.

Fans of the show can now visit The Citizen to experience one of the locations featured on screen.
