Whisky lovers can have a dram while overlooking River Clyde after pub opens at top of 150ft crane

THE wheelhouse of the 107-year-old Titan Crane in Clydebank has been transformed into a cosy drinking den called The Lion’s Clyde.

WHISKY lovers will have the chance to enjoy a dram in Scotland’s most exclusive bar – at the top of a 150ft crane.

Whyte & Mackay will give new meaning to the phrase “spirit in the sky” when they open the unique pub tomorrow.

The wheelhouse of the 107-year-old Titan Crane in Clydebank has been transformed into a cosy drinking den called The Lion’s Clyde.

It comes with brick walls, bar stools and pub snacks – but it will only be open for three days.

Entry will be limited and available on a first come, first served basis to those who book via Whyte & Mackay’s Facebook page.

The lucky few will be picked up by a complementary taxi before taking a lift to the top of the crane.

There they will be treated to a dram in the purpose-built pub where they will have an hour in the company of up to seven mates.

Steven Pearson, of Whyte & Mackay, said: “The Lion’s Clyde is about celebrating the past but also the present by bringing people together to enjoy a dram at their local. This is a big year for the city and we are immensely proud to call it our home.”

The experience will be available from June 4-6 to over-18s only. Sign up via Eventbite on www.facebook.com/whyteandmackay.
