M&B shows off refurb of Browns in Glasgow

Mitchells & Butlers' premium casual dining brand Browns Brasserie & Bar has reopened the doors to its Glasgow site after an extensive remodel.

Housed in a 130-year-old former Post Office on George Square, the refurbishment of the two-storey Grade A-listed building is part of Mitchells & Butlers' ongoing strategy to upgrade and expand its existing Browns estate. 

"Browns Glasgow is a key city site for us," says Dave Lewis, operations director of Browns Brasserie & Bar. "The investment has given us new interiors that properly reflect the brand’s elevated premium all-day dining positioning. We have taken great care to preserve the character and architectural heritage of the building, while adapting the space to meet the needs of our guests."

What's changed? 

The redesign features new velvet banquette seating, warm lighting, marble and brass finishes and integrated mirrors, all matching Browns previous aesthetic. The main centrepiece bar features brass shelving and statement lighting, while the decorative wall panelling, feature wallpaper and integrated mirrors have been introduced to provide a consistent visual language across the space. 

In addition, the lower ground level has been transformed into a semi-private dining space, with its own bar, accommodating 50 seated. The outside terrace has also been refreshed with new plantings and furniture for alfresco dining. 

Browns currently operate 28 restaurants across the UK including London, Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield and Edinburgh.
