About the Business

Sloans started life as a coffee house in Morrisons Court, named after prominent Glasgow man Baillie John Morrison, in 1797.
Twice a week, a stagecoach would leave Morrisons Court bound for Edinburgh. The journey lasted five hours and, for a fare of 9s, each passenger was allowed to take one canvas travelling bag.
The courtyard was the scene of many famous cock-fighting contests, the sport of the day.
Once called the Arcade Café, David Sloan bought the Café at the turn of the 20th Century transforming the renamed Sloans Arcade Café into an opulent venue containing a lounge bar, several dining rooms, a cocktail bar and even an aquarium.
The Grand Ballroom was the jewel in Sloans' crown featuring a magnificent vaulted ceiling, period marble fireplace and intricate stained-glass windows.
Many original features remain to this day in the Grade A listed building. These includes the ceramic tiled entrance, grand mahogany staircase, rich woodwork, rare acid-etched glass and ceilings heavily dec

Established in 1797.
