A NEW bar in Rhyl opened for the first time last weekend, taking on a premises previously occupied by another bar.

Tinkers Bar welcomed customers to 27 Wellington Road for the first time on Saturday, June 29 – formerly the home of The North, which closed last August.

The bar will trade from 12pm-3.30am, seven days a week.

Tinkers Bar was previously based in Rhyl at 17-19 Water Street, where it opened last July.

This has now closed, but is due to re-open later this month after a rebranding, and will become an “over-25s bar, with ‘90s and ‘noughties’ throwback music".

Owner James Tinker said: “We had a fantastic opening night on Saturday.

“The weather wasn’t the best for the garden party, but everyone still came along; it was an extremely busy night, and we hope to continue giving the best weekend nights out in and around Rhyl.
