Preston bar and nightclub Roper Hall to reopen with new cocktail menu and games zone

The popular student nightspot in Friargate closed suddenly in March and was later put on the market by its owners Stonegate Group.

But the bar is now in the hands of new owners who have yet to reveal themselves.

The venue is being revamped and will reopen with a fresh, new look at 6pm on Friday, September 22.

What can we expect from the new Roper Hall?

The venue says it will relaunch as “a place to drink, eat, dance and play”, with a new cocktail menu and 2 for 1 offers throughout the week.

In addition to its large selection of drinks and a new food menu served until 10pm, the bar will also feature a new ‘gaming challenge arena’.

The games zone will include an eclectic choice of group activities such as axe throwing, augmented reality darts, pool, ping pong, shuffleboards and beer pong, as well as an American favourite, ‘Corn Hole’.

You can book games and group activities on the Roper Hall website here.

Each Tuesday the venue will host a smartphone quiz with a £100 cash prize going to the winners.

Those visiting on opening night and over the weekend can also sign up for a special voucher for 50 per cent off food and drink. You can get your voucher here.
