Mitchell Gatsby and his family hosted the grand opening of their new business The Beer Bank based in High Street, Quarry Bank near Dudley on Friday night to the delight of tipplers.

“We are a microbar with a difference. This has been a life long ambition of mine to achieve and I’m thrilled to be opening doors to the local community that I’ve always loved. We specialise in cask ales, premium drinks and a warm welcome,” he says.

The site, a former pet food shop, has been converted and also has a coffee lounge.

Tipples from regional breweries including Holdens based in Woodsetton and Salopian near Shrewsbury will be on the drinks menu.

Beer Bank will be open daily from 10am to 10.30pm.
