Glasgow pub changes its name to Yesbar ahead of referendum
Jim and Suzanne McLaughlin are so keen for a Yes vote they have changed the name of their Glasgow freehold from Vespbar – to Yesbar.
The stunt quickly paid off as the bar became an internet sensation and prompted a visit from Hollywood actor Alan Cumming, star of The Good Wife and Cabaret.
“It’s been amazing”, said Suzanne. “Twitter and Facebook went mad almost as soon as the new Yesbar signs went up. And since then people have been coming in droves to have a drink and congratulate us on the name change.”
The couple have not yet decided whether to revert to Vespbar after the referendum vote.
Jim said: “If it’s a Yes, and we’re confident it will be, maybe we’ll just keep the Yesbar name. It has a certain ring to it!”
