Withington pub The Libertine has confirmed that it has temporarily closed its doors due to rocketing energy costs. The pub closed just before Christmas, and has not re-opened since.
The former District Bank building had undergone a huge refurbishment in the summer of last year, after being picked up by the team behind much-loved city centre locations Cottonopolis and the Edinburgh Castle. It had been billed as an all-day restaurant, bar and music venue.
A spokesperson for the pub told the M.E.N: “We are currently taking stock of the energy tariffs we are on. Once we have a better idea on this we will have a clearer idea on opening back up.” The bar, which opened in August last year, was previously active on social media, but had not posted anything since mid-December.
