The venue, based at Hillsborough Barracks, had briefly opened over the FIFA World Cup and Christmas, but it has now opened its doors for good after teaming up with YUZU Street Food, which specialises in Asian-inspired fusion dishes. The bar offers a range of spirits and beers and ciders on tap, including Peroni, Grolsch, Meantime, Asahi, and Cornish Orchards, and Kopparberg.
The man behind the venue – Ryan Madonald, an entrepreneur from Stannington, said: “It feels great to finally be here and to have our feet on the ground. I wanted to open somewhere up that feels comfortable and safe and suitable for families. We’re planning on hosting our own comedy nights, a weekly quiz and funky disco nights. We’re just going to get a feel of everything first.”
