A proposed gin bar in Walton from a firm that made hand sanitiser during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic has been met with opposition from residents and businesses alike.
An application has been made by Aintree Gin to open a bar on Walton Vale that would trade from 9.30am until midnight from Monday to Sunday. The proposals, which will go before Liverpool Council ’s licensing and gambling sub-committee on Friday, state that the opening hours remain “unspecified”.
According to its website, Aintree Gin launched in January 2020 to bars and restaurants across the city and is now opening its first permanent location. During the height of the pandemic, the company began to make its own hand sanitiser after production of its beverage halted.
