This Other Drinking Establishment is Permanently Closed

This is an other drinking establishment and you may be charged for entrance at certain times.

Licensed but no draught beer.

Unique Bar where you learnt how to make (and then drink) themed potions (Cocktails) named after the series of famous films featuring - He who should not be named (OK, Voldemort) and a group of school kids. Bottles of Robinsons Wizard, Unicorn and Moorhouse's Pendle Witches Brew and Blond Witch were also available. Takeaways of 'potions' were available. Very sadly, the owner of the bar was killed in a car crash causing closure. After it closed it became the 8 Bit Micro Arcade where gaming fans could relive their youth in this bar which was a fun arcade and games centre for families by day and a bar at night for adults.
