Only Fools and Horses bar reopening next week after a major rebrand

The Only Fools Bar is reopening next week after undergoing a drastic rebrand.

The Seel Street bar was initially based on the eponymous hit 80s comedy show. In what will be the start of a new era, the venue is losing the Only Fools and Horses image in order to rebrand as a "premium live music venue" known as Sidedoor.

The bar is currently undergoing a drastic facelift that will see the living room decor ditched in favour of mood lights and a darker, intimate aesthetic. Guests will also be able to hire private booths and bottle service at their leisure.

Some of the region's top performers are set to appear in regular rotations to entertain guests while DJs take partygoers through the night.

Adam Evans, general manager of Sidedoor and the former Only Fools and Horses Bar, told the Echo: "We're so excited to show everyone what we've been working on. Sidedoor is set to be one of the biggest venues the city has to offer when it comes to music, entertainment and atmosphere.

"The whole team has put in so much work and effort to make this the best it can be and we can't wait for everyone to experience it."

Sidedoor is expected to open on Saturday, September 16.
