The Dispensary, on Heysham Road, opened its doors for the first time on Sunday and customers are already giving it rave reviews.
Helen Holdsworth said: “Really good, fab atmosphere, lovely decor, good prices. Well done.”
Another early customer, Audrey Gorner Sharpe, said: “Great place, enjoyed our drinks! So did our little dog. Dog friendly.”
Heather Effie LeonsNanna Dale-Ball posted on The Dispensary’s Facebook page that she’d spent the afternoon there celebrating a colleague and friend’s retirement.
"Nothing was too much trouble, they had even reserved us a table, balloons and a bunch of flowers,” she said.
“Attentive and smiley staff, delish coffee, cake and a nice selection of boozies.
“Very dog friendly. Highly recommend, support small business. We will be back.”
The Dispensary responded: “This really makes it all worthwhile, this lovely group have followed and supported us since the page opened, today was their first visit and it was a pleasure to host them.”
Located in the former Time for Flowers premises, The Dispensary’s current opening hours are 9am-10pm seven days a week, although they say this may change depending on their busy times.
The dog-friendly coffee shop and wine bar will be offering platters in the future once the kitchen is fully completed.
