Allied Leisure Group Announces Partnership with Amber Beverage UK: Moskovskaya Vodka to Become House Pour Across Venues – £4 vodka mixer at Clydeside Containers signals a bold move to keep nights out affordable amid rising living costs
Allied Leisure Group, the operator behind some of Glasgow’s most vibrant and independent venues including Max’s Bar, La Cheetah Club, Room 2, Mikaku, and the forthcoming Clydeside Containers, has announced a new partnership with Amber Beverage UK to make Moskovskaya Vodka its exclusive house vodka across the group.
The agreement follows a competitive tender and will see Moskovskaya Vodka served as the standard house pour across Allied’s portfolio—most notably at the highly anticipated Clydeside Containers, opening Summer 2025 on the banks of the River Clyde. As part of the announcement, the group has confirmed that a vodka mixer at Clydeside Containers will be priced at just £4.00, making it one of the most accessible options in the city for high-quality spirits.
Nathan Sparling, Director of Allied Leisure Group, said: “We’re committed to creating brilliant hospitality experiences that don’t break the bank—especially at a time when the cost of living continues to impact our community. Moskovskaya Vodka delivers the quality we expect from a house spirit, and Amber Beverage UK have been a great partner in helping us keep prices fair. Offering a £4 vodka mixer at a city-centre venue like Clydeside Containers is a statement: great nights out should still be within reach.”
The partnership reflects Allied Leisure Group’s mission to provide high-quality, independent food and drink experiences with fairness and inclusivity at the heart. Clydeside Containers, which will be home to top street food vendors, a container-built bar, and regular entertainment, is designed to bring people together in a space that feels both exciting and accessible.
In addition to Moskovskaya Vodka as the house pour, the deal will also see Rooster Rojo Mezcal introduced as the house mezcal across the group—sitting alongside Rooster Rojo Blanco Tequila on the back bar. Guests will also find premium options such as Stoli Vodka, the Stoli Flavoured Range, Ron Colon Red Banana Rum, and Arran Single Malt available throughout Allied Leisure Group’s venues, reflecting a carefully curated spirits selection that blends quality with innovation.
Grant Cunningham, Sales Manager at Amber Beverage UK, added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Allied Leisure Group at such an exciting time, particularly as Clydeside Containers gets ready to launch. Moskovskaya Vodka is all about honesty, quality, and great value—so this partnership couldn’t be a better fit. In a year where consumers are more price-conscious than ever, we’re proud to be part of a project that delivers both experience and affordability.”
With vendor announcements already causing a buzz across Glasgow’s food scene, Clydeside Containers is on track to become one of the city’s defining destinations for 2025.
