Bees Knees pub in Accrington serves last ever pint
A pub in Accrington has closed with immediate effect.
The Bees Knees pub, located at 89-95 Blackburn Road, is no longer, citing footfall had “dropped dramatically”.
In July, the sister site at 20 Hargreaves Street in Burnley closed its doors.
A spokesperson for the business said at the time they did not have the time the venue needed.
They said: “We’ve made a tough decision on closing Bees Knees in Burnley.
“At the moment we just haven’t got the time the venue needs and it does need a huge refurbishment but with the projects we have got on this year already so unfortunately we have closed the doors.”
The pub found itself in hot water last year after sharing a distasteful ‘joke’ about the late Jay Slater on its Facebook page.
The previous owners have taken on a new venue called ‘Bees Brothers’ on Facebook titled “Two best friend’s in business” which charts their escapades within pubs and property.
