Take a sneak peek behind the scenes at new town centre bar opening this weekend
A NEW bar opening in the town centre this weekend has offered a sneak peek as to what customers can expect.
A behind-the-scenes look has been released for McCoy's Racing Lounge and Bar, which will be opening its doors for the first time tomorrow, Saturday.
Based at The Hive on Sankey Street, the venue will be open for business from 10am.

Horse Racing will be shown all day across 14 TVs, as well as other sporting events, making it a go-to bar for sports and a drink.
It will also have a pool table, two dart boards, and a jukebox, with karaoke and live music also in the offering.
After a social media poll, Owen Williams decided to name his new venture Nukes Sports Bar, as a nod to Warrington's teenage darts world champion Luke Littler.

But shortly after he revealed the new name, he received a letter from lawyers alleged to be acting on behalf of Luke Littler Darts about a potential infringement.
The bar posted on its Facebook page: "We are sure this isn't Luke himself, and he would be proud to have a bar recognising his achievements.
"Unfortunately, we may have to change our name before it has even begun."
The name of the bar has now been changed following another social media vote to McCoy's Racing Lounge and Bar.
It also hopes to be the cheapest independent bar in Warrington, with draught beer starting from £2.50.
McCoy's Racing Lounge and Bar has also already joined the Warrington 501 Darts League.
