Yorkshire bar brand launches in North West

YORKSHIRE leisure group Burning Night is launching its bar brands at Manchester’s Printworks.

It has taken a 20,000 sq ft unit which will house three bars – the Bavarian-style Bierkeller, sports bar Shooters, and Around the World in 80 Beers.

The Leeds-based business is owned by former DJ and yacht salesman Alex Hazzard who has already opened the venture in Liverpool, Blackpool and Leeds. He also operates the Park Row Bar and Brasserie in Leeds.

The Bierkeller will feature Oompah bands, German food and staff in traditional Bavarian dress. Shooters will show live sport all day and Around the World in 80 Beers promises 200 world beers.

Fred Booth, centre director at The Printworks said: “We are very excited to welcome our first traditional Bavarian bar to The Printworks in plenty of time for Oktoberfest, adding to the wide variety of offers already on display.”

Peter Robinson, area manager for the Burning Night Group, said: “We have invested heavily in the Manchester Bierkeller complex as the Printworks is such a reputable and established area. We know that our Manchester customers will join in our Bierkeller party atmosphere and enjoy all of the fantastic facilities we have to offer. We want everyone who experiences Bierkeller Manchester to have a great day or night out, and become regular guests.”
