The former Ironmarket venue in the market town of Newcastle-under-Lyme will hire 30 staff when it makes its debut as Brooklyn’s Sports Bar in early March.
Refurbishment work will begin next week on the building, which will host every major sporting event aired on BT and Sky, and act as a hub for live music at the weekends.
A new American grill menu consisting of burgers, ribs and wings as well as British dishes including fish and chips will be served, together with a breakfast menu and drinks offer including a range of cask and craft ales.
Seeking new staff
Licensee Paul Mciver is currently looking to recruit 30 employees including chefs, kitchen, bar and door staff at the three-storey town centre bar.
“This pub will truly be at the heart of the Newcastle-under-Lyme community and we hope local people will apply for the varied job roles on offer,” Mciver said.
Incredible support
He added: “Admiral has provided us with incredible support and, with the help of the local community, we can’t wait to bring Brooklyn’s Sports Bar to the people of Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding area.”
Alan Hurt, Admiral's business development manager for the local area, added: “The significant investment from Admiral is another example of the passion and commitment that we have for restoring pubs at the centre of their local community.
"In Paul, we have invested behind a dedicated and experienced entrepreneur who is determined to transform Brooklyn’s Sports Bar to a venue that the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme can be proud of.”
