A “big event” atmosphere is set to arrive at a Hull pub after an exciting refurbishment. The Avenues area pub closes today (Monday, February 2) to undergo a major makeover.
The Bowery, in Princes Avenue, is the latest Marston’s pub to undergo transformation. It is due to relaunch on Wednesday, February 25, under the new sports concept, Grandstand, with market-leading big screen technology, menus, and events.
The Bowery’s transformation as a Grandstand sports pub represents a significant investment of over £339,000. The much-loved community pub will be transformed with new features designed to deliver a stadium-style experience on every visit.
The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, such as new 3m-long and 1.8m-tall screens, state-of-the-art sound systems, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action. A refurbished outdoor area with TV screens will also be added, and locals will be able to order through the all-new Marston’s “Order & Pay” app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action.
The Bowery will also be decorated with local sports memorabilia. It is calling on the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.
Leah Fisher, pub partner, said: “We will have some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events, and we want as many local people to be featured on our walls as possible. We can’t wait to welcome all our regulars and some new faces in to see the new and improved Bowery.”
The Bowery is a pub where local students, young professionals, and families can relax with a drink, catch the latest sport fixture, or grab some food after taking a stroll around the nearby Pearson Park. Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more.
Regulation dart boards and pool tables will return, alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions. A new range of bar food is being introduced, perfect for half-time and sharing.
The “Match Day Menu” will feature hand-held bites, such as chicken wings and nachos, sitting alongside pub favourites such as fish and chips and burgers. The Bowery has also refreshed its range of drinks, and all draught beer is available in two-pint cups.
Local sports teams will be able to apply for a “Black Card”, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless chips on team nights, and rewards for celebrating wins at their local. The Grandstand concept follows industry research revealing that 8.5m consumers have watched sports games at the pub, with 86 per cent of fans preferring sports pubs for their atmosphere, better screens and sound, and the chance to connect with friends and family.
Marston’s has selected The Bowery for the Grandstand transformation due to its involvement with local sports teams, community groups, and charities. The refurbishment will create an exciting new proposition for local sports fans from Hull and beyond, it said.
