New bar INN The Doghouse opens today in Burnley's Bank Parade
A new bar opens in Burnley today. (Friday)
INN The Doghouse will open for business at 4pm. Previously The Circus Cafe Lounge in Bank Parade, the venue is being re-launched as a micropub by Chorley based Escape Bars Ltd. Specialising in cask ales and craft beers, a full renovation of the premises has taken place.
Kristian Dawber of Escape Bars Ltd said: “The Burnley bar is our sixth venue to open. We were attracted to this bar as it is in an up and coming area that is quite trendy. The bar will have a cosy, friendly atmosphere.”
The Circus Lounge opened four years ago and created a ‘Northern Quarter’ style vibe with neighbouring venue The Electric Circus. Owner Ray Harrison created ‘The Circ’ when he bought the former industrial warehouses and built up three venues. The Electric Circus has now closed but The Circ retro bar, run by Leigh and Stephenie Wallace, is open as usual.
