The venue, formerly Macs Bar, is now under new ownership in the form of LA Leisure Preston Ltd.

Macs shut earlier this yearafter six years as a fixture on the city’s social scene.

In its former guise, the police took issue with it and at one stage, its licence was withdrawn.

It finally shut its doors in September.

The venue has now been given a total makeover, with the new owners promising a funky, cool and different vibe.
