A new cocktail bar and tapas restaurant has opened after two friends decided to follow their dream.
Bushra Lounge opened to the public in June and the new owners say they have had a great response. Friends Stephanie Williams, 33, from Bridgend, and Jessica Moule, 34, from Pontypridd, took the plunge and opened up their dream business in Aberdare. They both have their own separate salons but have come together for this new venture. The pair have known each other for the last eight years and decided to make their idea a reality.
Stephanie said: "We’ve always wanted to do it individually. We were talking about it one day and we just thought we’ll do it together. Location-wise, we didn’t really mind where we went, we just wanted to make sure it would work where we did go.”
