New Lace Market bar to create 25 jobs
A new bar is set to open in Nottingham, creating 25 jobs – with a further opening plannned for Leicester later this year.
The Head of Steam, which has roots in the north of England, is taking over the former Missoula Montana Bar & Grill on High Pavement, which closed at the end of January.
Owned and operated by Hartlepool-based Camerons Brewery, customers will be able to choose from more than 120 types of craft beer, real ale, and world beer.
The bar, over two floors, boasts 22 specialty keg lines, as part of 38 taps, with beers selected from some of Nottinghamshire’s best-loved breweries, including Black Iris, Liquid Light, Blue Monkey, Neon Raptor and Castle Rock.
Chris Soley, chief executive at Camerons Brewery which owns The Head of Steam brand, said: “With so many new and established breweries in Nottinghamshire for us to get involved with, this is a really exciting move for the chain. We know just how passionate people here are about beer, and our carefully-selected team of experts are looking forward to chatting to them about what we offer.
“The idea is to create a destination that offers the latest specialist craft and cask brews, food-and-beer pairings and events, although I should stress that it’s not just for beer boffins! It’s a place where anyone can come along with friends, family or even their dog, and enjoy a drink in relaxed surroundings, with live music and great food. Serious beer fans will also be able to find out what guest brews we have on via the Untappd social media app, where we are registered as a verified venue.”
Established in 1995, The Head of Steam has 13 pubs across the North of England in cities such as Leeds, Newcastle, Hull, and Liverpool. As well as launching in Nottingham, it is preparing to open further venues in Leicester and Birmingham this spring/summer.
