'Big loss for Beverley' as independent Atom Bar closes

An independent bar in Beverley will close at the end of this month, its owners have confirmed.

The award-winning Atom Bar has been in New Walkergate since the beginning of 2020. With a philosophy of good quality and the benefit of its own brewery, Atom is a highly regarded stop on the Beverley pub scene.

Unfortunately, the bar will close on Saturday, July 27. But fans of Atom Beers will still be able to buy them online after this date and the Hull branch in Princes Avenue will also still be open.
