1752

The Corinthian Club stands on the site of the renowned 18th century Virginia Mansion, which was constructed for prominent City Merchant George Buchanan, and was famed as being one of the finest private residences in Glasgow. The location itself is historic and symbolizes the social and commercial development of Glasgow in the 18th and 19th centuries.

1842

The original building was demolished to make way for the Glasgow and Ship Bank, and later the Union Bank of Scotland. In this David Hamilton created one of the city’s most elaborate and richly decorated buildings, both internally and externally. It was extended and embellished over many decades by highly acclaimed architects, artists and artisans, including James Salmon (Snr), John Thomas and James Ballantine.

1920

Converted into judiciary courts, one of the UK’s finest Victorian interiors had many of it’s features hidden from public view behind false walls and ceilings.

1999

Painstakingly restored as The Corinthian. Details such as the Roman Doric pilastrade, elaborate cornicing, 26 foot glass dome, superb sculptural plasterwork and freestanding classical figures were revealed once more.

2010

After being extensively refurbished it opened it’s doors once again as ‘The Corinthian Club’, with the interior design and restoration being undertaken by internationally renowned design firm Graven Images.

Present

The iconic Corinthian dome remains a focal point, located directly above Teller’s Bar and Brasserie, a space which was once the route to the court cells.

I just thought I’d send a wee email to thank you for the set up of our baby shower on Saturday; looked fantastic and certainly had the wow factor required for such a happy occasion. We had an absolute ball and would definitely recommend the Corinthian to friends and family for any future celebrations.

We had Afternoon Tea to celebrate my Mum’s 80th Birthday. I would just like to say how wonderful the day was, from the moment we arrived Lesley (our waitress) could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much bother. The service was second to none with a genuine feeling of ‘happy to help’. The Afternoon Tea itself was delicious and beautifully presented. The guests that were there all agreed, and are still talking about it. Thank You for helping to make a special day a very memorable one for all the right reasons.

I would very much like to thank the whole staff team from bar staff, staff serving in the brasserie, the bar man in Nosey Parkers and the management team. Thanks to their efficient and friendly service my job of organising a successful hen night for my friend was made much easier. All in attendance were very impressed with the whole experience at Corinthian. Would definitely recommend Corinthian to friends and family for future events.
