Sports fans and shoppers alike now have a brand-new location to either kick back or kick start their weekend.

Missoula in Middlebrook retail park, Bolton will be openings its doors for the very first time on Saturday 4th March following a £250,000 investment.

Located at the former Scott’s Bar site next to the Macron Stadium; the stylish bar has undergone an extensive transformation, complete with distinct modern décor and a strong focus on a unique live sports offering. Notably, the new venue will be providing sports fans with VIP table service and a special match-day sports menu featuring pitchers of cocktail, buckets of beer, sharing platters and hand-rolled pizzas – making this the ultimate venue to head to on a match day or when the big sporting action is live on the big screens. It’s also the first bar in the area to fit a “Bottoms-Up” speed bar sourced direct from the USA’ which pours 65 pints of Carling in one minute!

When the Wanderers aren’t in town, Missoula will tempt weary shoppers and office staff with a range of light snacks, burgers and pizzas that will make your taste buds tick – the extended tapas range offers smaller bites to snack on, whilst the epic focaccia sandwiches are perfectly suited for lunch time refuel. That’s not all – with an innovative selection of cocktails, craft beers and steeped spirits, all cocktails are made using the hottest trends in mixology offering a flavour for everyone!

Alan Armstrong, Head of Marketing at Missoula said: “We are thrilled to be launching our 10th Missoula site in the UK in Bolton and look forward to welcoming everyone down. We’re in a prime location and know our new look décor combined with our fantastic offers during the week means we truly do have something for all.
