Atom Brewery to open 'Scandi-style' café bar in Beverley for second site

27 January 2020

Atom Brewery, which opened in Hull's former Corn Exchange almost two years ago, is to open a bar in nearby Beverley serving a range of international beers and some own brews.

A row of former Grade II-listed cottages, which were most recently used by Roots Rum Shack and Kitchen until its closure last December, will soon become Atom's second bar.

They are promising a "Scandi-style" modern café bar for the town and are hoping to open soon.

It comes on the back of their success in Hull's Old Town which seen Atom become a popular stop-off on the city's drinking scene, combining ales created at their own brewery and flavours from across the world.

Describing why Beverley was the "natural step" in the company's development, Sam Welburn, the firm's sales manager, told the Hull Daily Mail: "There is obviously a solid base for us. We know there are people that come through to the Corn Exchange so to put one on their doorstep should work.

"We opened the Corn Exchange 18 months ago, nearly two years ago and this is off the back of the success of that. It's been a fantastic success. It seemed like the natural step.

"I've lived in Beverley for all my life, apart from when I went to uni, and to do that in Beverley is a great opportunity. Beverley and its venues have supported us as a venue since day one."

The bar will also serve food and coffee according to Welburn, although he says they will be concentrating on liquid refreshment during the first phase after opening.
