Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser how the venue has done its utmost to welcome back customers to a socially-distanced outside space, but now faces the new difficulty on top of the loss of its popular entertainments programme.

He said: “The biggest impact will be on staff and hours, and we’re trying to work out just now how we operate that.“Pre-Covid, most people would come out at about nine or 10 o’clock and you’d see then if it would be a busy night or not; I’m trying to look at it in a glass half-full way and hope that some people will arrive earlier, but I’m not sure if people will come out at 5pm to go home at 10pm.“The new hours are a double whammy as our pub is built on entertainment, live music and tribute acts, but now we don’t have.
