Nottingham bar Vibes was packed out with a maximum capacity of 200 revellers when it first opened in September 2021. But five weeks later the pandemic forced immediate closure when the second lockdown hit.
Nearly a year down the line similar numbers haven't returned and stand at around less than half that at any one time. In a bid to win punters back the owners Richard Moore and Mick Frankton have invested £35,000 in a mini revamp and new light-up dance floor and he's dropped the price of drinks ready for the Upper Parliament Street bar and club, reopening tomorrow Saturday, July 16).
Customers will be able to have a boogie to a DJ playing cheesy pop songs from the 1970s on the illuminated LED dance floor, very similar to the one in Popworld. Mr Moore said: "We've got to get the venue busy again. When we first opened we were rammed, it was great. People were queuing outside the door to get in.
