... Throwback Thursday be like....

There goes the neighbourhood...

Important information, maybe.

Obviously you know by now we’re closed. It’s sad. We hate it.
We thought we’d make it to 10 years in our basement on Market Street but after issues upon issues with Yorkshire water that have now left us without power, we’ve had to make some fast, loose and hard choices on the future on the future of Now Serving…

We wanted to do have a large bash, big tenth birthday party 🥳. When the flats where Velvet Bar used to be opened we expected to have a closing party, and we hoped to see you all there.

It sucks but…

We can still have but it’ll be in our new home at the former Buzz below Unity Hall.

It’s an iconic building and a nostalgic basement where many bad decisions were made. So why buck a habit of a lifetime?

Loads of moving parts till then so we’ve set ourself the task of opening in a couple of months to make it the best possible version of our brand of dive bar that it can possibly be.

More updates soon!!! 🖤🐝
