OnTrade Scotland Magazine - November 2020

THUNDERCAT RO Since opening his first venue Soho in 2008 with his wife Michelle, Michael Bergson has seen a lot of changes take place in the Glasgow nightlife landscape but maybe none as challenging as the last few months.

In terms of what the customers were looking for in terms of experience to the Glasgow scene itself, many things have evolved and the husband & wife team have had to evolve with it.

“Soho was doing ok, but it was right on the profit line pre lockdown, so we were thinking on a refurbishment to freshen things up as Soho was a 12-year-old concept by now.”

“We wanted something that fitted with the way customers have changed, Glasgow had changed and the merchant city had changed, we wanted to provide an experience.

We wanted something that aligned more with our Buck’s Bar venues which have been a great success, in their feel and surroundings but at the same time individual.”
