Alcohol licence bid for Alfred’s Bar in closed Culcheth Siren’s Bar

Siren’s Bar and Clubroom in Culcheth opened in July last year, looking to offer ‘everything under one roof’, be that a fun night out, early cocktail, or somewhere to watch or play sport.

This followed a £75,000 refit of the former Liberty’s Gin Bar that occupied the Common Lane premises.

However, the bar previously closed, leaving the premises empty.

Now, Warrington Borough Council has received an application seeking an alcohol and music licence for the premises.

Submitted by Horseshoe Croft Ltd for 31-33 Common Lane in Culcheth, the bid suggests that the premises will be called Alfred’s Bar.

The application seeks permission for the sale of alcohol from Sunday to Saturday, between 11am and midnight.

Also sought is permission for the provision of live indoor music from Sunday to Saturday, between 10am and midnight.

A further section of the application is for the provision of recorded music indoors, from Sunday to Saturday, between 9am and midnight.

Opening times for the bar are proposed to be Sunday to Saturday, between 9am and 12.30am.

The premises licence states: “Representations, which should be made in writing, may be made by a responsible authority or any other person to Warrington Borough Council to be received by no later than October 10.

“These should be sent to: Licensing Section, Warrington Borough Council, Town Hall, East Annex, Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 2UH.

“The record of the application may be inspected during normal office hours at the council’s above address, and at any time on the council’s website.

“It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make a false statement in connection with an application, the maximum fine for which a person is liable on summary conviction being £5,000.”
