Draft, the craft beer bar on Sale’s Stanley Square, has closed after nearly three years of trading. The bar’s owners said that they took the decision ‘with a heavy heart’, but cited rocketing costs of energy bills and other expenses related to the cost of living crisis.
They also took aim at the ‘lack of support’ for small business owners from the government. In a post to their Instagram page, which has now been deactivated, owners Scott and Rachel Millar said: “It is with an extremely heavy heart that we post this today. Sadly with immediate effect Draft Bar Sale (Draft Beer Co Ltd) has ceased trading.
“Due to the cost of living crisis , rising energy costs and general lack of support for small business, we have had to make this difficult decision to close. We would like to thank everyone who supported us over the past couple of years.
