A new Irish-American bar is set to open in Glasgow city centre this month.
RADIO is taking over 373 Sauchiehall Street, which was previously occupied by bar and restaurant Mango.
The venue will be set across two levels and will offer live music, DJs, sport, and New York-style pizza slices, creating a “high energy experience” from day to night.
According to a poster which appeared on the outside of the unit recently, RADIO will welcome punters from “late October”.
RADIO will feature four bars and two distinct atmospheres under one roof.
The ground floor will offer a ‘classic Irish-American bar experience’ complete with pints, live music, large sports screens, and a ‘buzzing’ late-night crowd.
Meanwhile, downstairs, a basement speakeasy will have an ‘edgier vibe’ with DJs, cocktails, and dancing until 3am.
This is said to capture the essence of New York’s underground music lounges.

The team behind the venue say food will be a key part of the experience.
RADIO will serve up New York-style pizza slices, sides, and dips well into the early hours, making it an ideal stop for gigs, sports, and more.
The bar is co-owned by Steven McColm and Adam Coakley, who operate BOX, Nico’s and are responsible for the re-opening of Driftwood, all located on Sauchiehall Street.

The pair said: "RADIO is built around that universal mix of music, good drinks, and great craic. We wanted to create a space that feels alive, where you can catch a live singer, grab a slice, sink a pint, watch the game, or lose yourself in the Speakeasy until 3am.
“It is all connected through the same pulse - the music and atmosphere.”
Describing their latest and fourth venture on Sauchiehall Street, Steven and Adam commented: “Each of the four venues offers something completely different, creating an area in the city that truly has something for everyone.
“Our goal is to bring renewed life to Sauchiehall Street - expanding the range of experiences available and attracting new visitors to the area.”
The interior design of the bar is said to have been inspired by the venue’s name, with classic ‘Irish bric-a-brac’, retro broadcast visuals, neon signage, vintage microphones, vinyl records, and a sound-driven atmosphere that connects both floors.
