Administrators order sale of Bierkeller venues

On behalf of administrators Andrew Mackenzie and Julian Pitts of Begbies Traynor, leisure property specialists Davis Coffer Lyons has today been appointed as the property agent to dispose of the popular Bierkeller venues following the administration of Burning Night Group.

The six sites are located in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Harrogate and encompass the brands Bierkeller, Around The World, Shooters Bar, a Smokin’ Bar & Kitchen and The Potting Shed.

All sites are available leasehold, either individually or as a group.

A Bierkeller venue in Cardiff, located at the Millennium Stadium, has closed.

The remaining sites will continue to trade as normal throughout the sale process.

Paul Tallentyre, executive director, pubs & bars at Davis Coffer Lyons, said: “The group of venues include some fantastic sites in great condition with the potential to roll the Bierkeller concept out in other cities.”

Joint administrators Andrew Mackenzie and Julian Pitts of Begbies Traynor were appointed to Leeds-based Burning Night Group on September 28.

The administration followed the closure of the company’s Cardiff venue at Millennium Stadium which proved to be financially unviable and had a negative impact on the group’s costs.

Burning Night Group was established eight years ago.
