Popular Chester Bar Undergoes £50K Refurbishment

A unique city bar, Kuckoo Chester, will take visitors ‘to the next level’ following a £50,000 refurbishment throughout the popular night spot.

As the first and only rock and roll cocktail bar in town, Kuckoo is setting the bar even higher as it prepares to unveil its refurbished interior at a reopening event on Friday 20 January 2017.

The centrepiece of the renovation will be an eye opening ‘Onyx’ style bar – a stunning, modern bar top and fascia, backlit in red to create a warm glow. The newly refurbished Kuckoo will also include luxurious leather and velvet seating areas, modernised washrooms and a striking black, granite floor with a sparkle effect.

Staying true to its creative drinks offering, visitors will also enjoy Kuckoo Chester’s revamped cocktail menu which plays host to 65 inspiring, classic and cool cocktails to keep guests entertained all evening.

The look of the bar might be new but the music won’t change, as indie rock and roll favourites from various eras will still be on the playlist - with popular tracks from Elvis and The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Stone Roses and The Strokes – providing a feel-good vibe and fun atmosphere where revellers will never want to leave!

Founder of Kuckoo Chester, Richard Powell, said: “We’ve taken an already great concept for Chester to the next level, and we can’t wait to showcase the new interior to visitors during our reopening night - which is set to be a superb evening.

“Our ethos is all about having fun and letting loose in a comfortable yet glamorous environment. Investing in the refurbishment means Kuckoo Chester continues to be an inviting venue for guests, ensuring we’re maintaining that feel-good, go-to place for our loyal customers and visitors here in Chester.

“The hospitality sector has faced tough times of late, and our brand has continued to grow thanks to the hard work of the team and because we’ve stayed true to our brand values. We have big plans for 2017 and planning to launch two new sites – Kuckoo Sheffield in March 2017 and Kuckoo Knutsford at Easter 2017.

“We’re encouraging local people and visitors, businesses and hospitality workers to take a sneak peek into the newly refurbished Kuckoo Chester by coming along to the reopening night – so why not drop in and take a look whilst enjoying a fabulous drink in a friendly and fun atmosphere.”

The grand reopening of Kuckoo Chester on Friday 20 January 2017 from 5pm – anyone is welcome to attend. Located on 58 Watergate Street, Chester, the bar is open seven days a week from 5pm (serving until 1am on Friday’s and 2am Saturday’s).

Kuckoo Chester first opened its doors in 2013, following the successful launch of Kuckoo Preston in 2010. The Chester bar will close for refurbishment from 1 January 2017 and reopen on 20 January 2017.
