New Peterborough city centre bar 'The Tipsy Cow' set to open on Good Friday
A brand new independent bar is set to open in Peterborough city centre on Good Friday (April 3).
Much excitement is building as the Tipsy Cow prepares to opens its doors for the first time at 12pm on Friday.
The bar is opening on Cowgate in the space formerly occupied by Blind Tiger, which has since relocated to Nene Park.
The Tipsy Cow will is the latest unique offering in the city centre and has opened thanks to Will Blower, who will combine running the bar with his other business, Realise Finance.
The aim of this venture, according to Will, is to “bring a taste of London and Manchester to Peterborough but at a fair price for Peterborough.” All pints are priced between £6 – £6.50 with a ride range of beers and ales available on tap, including popular lager Hawkstone, Rattler, Asahi, Schofferhofer, Jubel, Rekorderlig, Madri, Doom Bar, Guinness and Alpacalypse.
Coffee and cocktails are also on the menu, while food will be available thanks to a link-up with the nearby Kathmandu Lounge, which will allow customers to order at the Tipsy Cow and have it delivered from across the street.
There are plans for interactive games such as darts and shuffleboard in the bar’s downstairs space in the coming weeks. The opening night will see live music performed by Mark Stevens, with live music set to be a regular thing on the bar’s calendar.
Will is also committed to offering career opportunities for his staff with the potential for staff to progress into marketing and accountancy roles within his firm.
He said: “We want to bring what you have in London and Manchester into Peterborough and bring something unique to support local businesses.
“We are going to show live sport. We are not a sports bar but it will be on. We want to have a nice vibe that everyone feels welcome in to enjoy the ranges of beers, cocktails or coffee. We have some of the most premium and fastest growing in popularity in the UK.
"I just love business and wanted to get involved in something that was able to help the community.
"We are a new business and we are open to improvement. If someone comes in and feels like something is not right then please chat to us and we’ll take on the advice.”
