Team behind new Lancaster cocktail bar take over city centre pub

The owners of a new Lancaster cocktail bar are taking over a popular city centre pub.

Mono Loco opened in the former St John’s Hospice charity shop at 52 Market Street last November, marketing itself as a “design-led cocktail bar where jungle luxe meets wild nightlife”.

And the people behind the venue are now taking on a new venture.

Posting on Facebook, they said: “We’ve got news, Lancaster.

"Mono Loco is taking over The Study Room.

“Same building. Whole new energy.

“We’re bringing our signature Mono Loco attitude into a brand new chapter – live music, standout cocktails, proper beers, great wine, and a food menu built for sharing, grazing and staying out longer than planned.

"This isn’t a soft refresh. It’s a full re-imagination.”

The team said customers can expect cocktails “with personality”, a food menu “that actually excites”, live music & DJs, quality beers, ales & wines, and “a venue that feels alive again”.

Work is already under way on the Church Street premises.

"Big ideas are in motion, and we can’t wait to open the doors and show you what we’ve been building,” the team added.

"Lancaster… Class is back in session.”

Meanwhile, Mono Loco is currently closed for a refurbishment too.

The bar will reopen on January 16.

"Hard hats on. Shakers and labcoats out,” their Facebook page says.

"We’re closed for refurbishments and crafting our wildest menu yet. Trust the process.

"We will be back Jan 16th.

“Bring the same chaos with new flavours.

"Lancaster, your jungle’s evolving.”
