Senior SNP councillors have welcomed the move after the group called on the city's Licensing Board to consider an extension.
Glasgow city centre bars will be able to stay open for an extra hour under a one-year trial in a bid to boost the late-night economy.
If the trial is successful and the change is made permanent, it would bring Glasgow’s city centre opening times in line with Edinburgh’s. “Extending pub hours to 1am can, I hope, give many businesses a shot in the arm and encourage more people to come into the city centre in the knowledge they can in turn extend their evening out.”
The Licensing Board’s policy statement outlines a list of criteria that bars applying for the 1am licence would be required to adhere to, while also urging licensees to recognise the need for staff who work late to get home safely.
