The move has been backed by the Scottish Beer and Pub Association.
A BID to extend pub opening hours in Glasgow city centre until 1am is facing opposition amid a claim there is “no real desire” for the change.
Mr MacLeod, who runs The Garage and Cathouse, added: “Yes, I do own nightclubs, but at no point was the fact that I own nightclubs used as a vehicle to stop anybody getting increased hours.” The council administration said the 1am change could “encourage patrons to remain out for a short period of time, thus further contributing to the late night economy".
He said the city centre is “on its knees” as “people are not coming in”, adding he had sell-out live shows where there were 150 “no shows” as people were “buying the tickets and months later realising ‘I can’t afford to go out, how do I get home?’". Billy Gold, from the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, added: “We think it’s essential there is a separation between public houses and nightclubs. Personally speaking, as a publican and an operator, I can see all sorts of pitfalls with the 1am thing.”
