A NEW bar is set to open in Paisley.

Owners of The Lane, in the town's Shuttle Street, handed the premises over to new management earlier this month.

The new business owner has since revealed that the bar will have a "brand new everything", including name, vibe, bars, VIP area and food menu.

A launch party weekend will be taking place on March 24 and 25.

The previous owner revealed that it was time for "someone else to create some magic in this amazing venue" in a farewell post on March 3.

He wrote: "Big things are happening … For more than 22 years The Lane and Suburbia have been part of our family … and hopefully yours.

"In a sad happy turn of events we will be handing over the reins to a new family. From Suburbia to The Lane it’s been an emotional journey full of ups and downs for me and my family.

"It’s been a massive part of my life; I have worked in Suburbia, Penny Lane and The Lane Paisley, and its quirks will always be part of me.

"From judging the pole dancing competitions in the noughties to the amazing New Year’s Eve events of recent years, but most of all the people I’ve had the pleasure to meet along the way.

"The colleagues and customers who have become friends and shaped my life - I will always tell the stories you have made me part of.

"But it’s definitely time for someone else to create some magic in this amazing and unique venue.

"Paisley, we were lucky to be part of your journey and your history, but the future belongs to the bold.

"Good luck John, Laura, James, and Michelle - I hope 7 Shuttle Street will be as special to you guys as it has to me."
