The Savings Bank
description: This former savings bank with fine Victorian features is now a beautifully-restored events space. The Savings Bank will tip its hat to its former owners and offer visitors a range of refreshments from virtuous teas and Greek platters to cocktails that will keep you royally flushed. Construction of the current premises began in 1888 with the vision of transforming a simple hatters shop into a radical new savings bank that would work to put pennies back into the pockets of Glasgow�s working class. The Victorian building features a host of architectural curiosities from a large neoclassical dome to intimate brass-work, carvings and glazed tiling. After a change in ownership The Savings Bank went on to become a raucous Greek restaurant and then a notorious Southside poker den, each iteration leaving its unique mark on the building. Over Doors Open, The Savings Bank will tip its hat to its former owners and offer visitors a range of refreshments from virtuous teas, Greek platters and cocktails to keep you royally flushed. Music and Tours will transport you to a Victorian Laurieston and illuminate the architectural history of the building which is currently in use as an events venue run by Glasgow's favourite events company, Inhouse. � � �
