The venue’s new interior has some great feature pieces worth talking about - from the cola-red 50s, retro style booths, a life-sized Marilyn Monroe, to the classic 1957 Chevrolet crashing through the wall. Plus, what would an American diner be without an iconic jukebox to fill Ad-lib with only the best of American tunes.

General Manager Jimmy Deadman said: “It was time to rejuvenate Ad-Lib with a new design, new menu and new feel and we’re excited to be re-opening with new seating, a superb yoghurt ice cream machine and a few more surprises up our sleeve.

“Our Head Chef Mark has created some awesome, flavoursome new additions to our food offerings, whilst we’ve kept all the classics which are loved by our customers. Ad-Lib’s been an institution for more than 20 years and we’re thrilled with the new look and can’t wait for the people of Glasgow to see what we’ve done.”

The new menu features an awesome selection of tasty tacos, crispy fried chicken, juicy burgers, and a totally wicked, wing bar. The American diner is complete with creamy milkshakes, CBD drinks and classic American cocktails all with an Ad-Lib twist to wash it all down.

“Our new wing bar features chicken and cauliflower with a choice of sauces. Add in some Texas BBQ chicken, Bourbon BBQ brisket and BBQ roast roots all served with a choice of dirty sides and sauces. You can ad lib to your heart’s desire!

“It’s an American dream when it comes to treats too, as well as a build your own FROYO machine, our dessert menu offers two classics – apple pie with cinnamon and pecan pie, served with whipped cream, ice cream or Froyo.”
