A Wirral coffee shop will be allowed to sell alcohol, but must change its smoking plans, after a hearing today.
Brown Bear Coffee, at 45 Thingwall Road, Irby, which has not yet opened, will be allowed to serve booze between 9am and 10.30pm each day and will open between 7am and 11pm. Shannon Johnston, the woman behind the plan, said the coffee shop will have an American theme, selling things such as pumpkin bread, bagels and burgers in the evening.
Ms Johnston insisted the Wirral premises will be primarily a coffee shop in the day with alcohol being more relevant in the evening. She was clear that she did not want to open a “rowdy late night entertainment venue”, but a “pleasant upmarket experience”.
