The operators of an award winning Irish pub in Glasgow have claimed they are being discriminated against after being hit with repeated noise complaints.
Between March 2020 and February 2022, Connolly’s Bar has received 75 objections from the same ten complainers.
Council officers have attended the premises and met with residents on a number of occasions over the past two years to find amplified noise coming from the premises.

The issue was brought before the licensing board on Friday afternoon.

“Connolly’s was awarded the Best Irish Bar in Scotland title in 2019, 2020 and 2022.

“There has been a frosty relationship between the two parties. Noise is a side effect of living in a city centre. You're not going to wake up to the sound of sheep grazing outside.
