Walkabout operator Intertain has completed on the lease of The Establishment Bar & Grill in Coventry.

The bar, which housed Coventry’s main court-house until the mid-1980s, has been refurbished with the original cells transformed into a dining area.

Intertain said it intends to continue to run the venue, which has a high focus on food and cocktails in its current format.

Intertain chief executive John Leslie said: “The Establishment is a fantastic venue, with a stunning outdoor area, located in the heart of Coventry. It has a strong reputation in the city for food, drink and great service. It is our intention to not only maintain that reputation but also expand the bar’s appeal, building its name for sport and brilliant party nights in the great city of Coventry.”
