Slug & Lettuce St Albans is located on Victoria Street and will have a minimalist yet elegant décor, according to Stonegate.
When it relaunches, the venue will focus on punters looking for late-night celebrations during the week, and will offer daily 2-4-1 cocktail deals and Wine Down Wednesdays, where selected bottles of wine or Gancia Dry Prosecco will be £12.
Flight of cocktails
The Tapas Tails concept – where customers can order a flight of three cocktails – will also be available.
Alongside flights of cocktails, the venue will also offer a selection of small plates, including crispy-fried jalapeno slices with paprika sour cream and cured meat antipasti. Five dishes from the small plates menu will cost £17.
General manager David Riddell said: “We are so excited to showcase our new-look site to the people of St Albans.
“Not only will are our elegant interior provide the perfect venue, but with such a great cocktail and drink offering throughout the week, we are looking forward to providing the people of St Albans a bar they can enjoy for a night of sophistication and fun.”
He added: “Whether it be for pre-dinner cocktails or a place to let your hair down all night long, Slug St Albans is set to be the ultimate venue.”
This summer the chain launched a £5 lunch menu to attract consumers looking to curb their lunchtime spending.
Spent more than £6 on lunch
According to research carried out on behalf of the pub chain, 72% of consumers asked said they spent more than £6 on lunch to eat at their desks each day.
Meanwhile, Stonegate Pub Company bolstered its portfolio in September through the acquisition of the Sports Bar & Grill concept, bringing its estate up to 703 sites.
At the time, chief executive Simon Longbottom said: “This is another excellent bolt-on acquisition for Stonegate which is right in our sweetspot and further consolidates our leading credentials in sports-led entertainment.
“We have long coveted a presence in key transport hubs and are excited about the opportunity which this presents.”
