New bar striking a chord with crowd
An alternative new nightspot in the Black Country began with a blast – and revellers gave it their full approval.

Former Blast Off DJs have been hired to provide indie and soul sounds for the distinctive Wolverhampton venue, which attracted hundreds of people during its opening night at the weekend.
But with jazz, blues and acoustic nights, an outdoor cocktail bar, a pub-style lounge area and a dancefloor fireplace on the Dog and Doublet menu, it's clear this is no Blast Off MK2.
