A NEW cabaret bar will open in Bolton town centre next week.

The Venue, at the premises formerly occupied by Kiss nightclub and the Brasshouse, in Churchgate, will open to the public on Friday, September 12.

It had been due to open on August 29, but work was delayed.

The VIP lounge and cabaret bar is being launched by Dave Holmes, landlord of the Crofters Arms and the Claremont Arms, both in Halliwell Road, as well as The D Havilland Club, Farnworth, together with John Wray, who runs a licensing training company.
