A pub will unveil its new look TODAY after a three week transformation. The Grey Man in Daisy Hill will reopen at 6pm after the £150,00 revamp. The pub was given a overhaul by new licensees Blind Tiger, which runs pubs in the North West, and Heineken owned Star pubs.
They say the' dated tired pub' has been transformed into a 'premium local specialising in sports and entertainment'. Funds have been spent on a complete external overhaul. As well as new lighting and signage, at the front of the pub is a new patio area with bench style tables and chairs, a picket fence and festoon lighting.
The rear beer garden is said to be unrecognisable from before. Four new timber booths each seating six have been installed as well as new A-frame tables and benches and children’s play equipment. The pub has seating for over 100 outside and plentiful parking.
Inside, The Grey Man has been opened up to create a brighter, more spacious environment for socialising. The bar has also been enlarged as part of the structural works. The new look and feel is more contemporary with an exposed brick wall, graffiti by renowned North West graffiti artist Jano and eight HD tTV screens.
Seating is a mix of high and medium height chairs and tables, and more comfortable semi-circular velvet covered booth seating. The revamp has been designed to put The Grey Man on the map with sports enthusiasts. TNT, Sky and Amazon TV are subscribed to ensure all major sporting occasions are covered with live sport showing.
