The Glass House cocktail bar in Cleveleys is back up and running with new owners

In January it was announced that the Glass House, on Bispham Road, off Victoria Road West, was to close its doors after six and a half years.

The venue, which included upstairs restaurant Joels, shut on January 14 and owners Matt and Shirley Hughes said they were looking forward to a well-earned retirement.

Now a new team has moved in and the venue reopened its doors for the first time on Friday, March 29.
