An exciting new occupant has finally been revealed for Cheltenham's historic fire station — and there's not long to wait until it opens its doors.
Popular for its bottomless brunches, as well as live music nights, The Fire Station's closure in June 2022 was met with dismay from its legions of fans.
The bar and restaurant in St James' Square, which kept the character of the town's former fire station, suddenly closed its doors shortly after launching a 180 Club interactive darts concept.
The venue originally served as Cheltenham's fire station almost 120 years ago and is a neighbour to the popular Steamhouse bagel shop housed in the town's Crescent Bakery building, founded in 1900.
But now looking forward, family-owned and run Mad Dog Brewery Co is breathing new life into the venue.
It promises an impressive offering of modern craft beer from Kolsch style lager, Welsh red ale, American pale ale, oatmeal stout and the brand's famous marmalade IPA. Tap-room fans will also love specials, hazy IPA's, fruity stouts and wheat beers.
Everything on the drinks menu is vegan and made with no artificial preservatives. And for those who can't have gluten, there's a special gluten free core range — so no one has to miss out.
While an official opening date is yet to be announced, punters can expect to get their beer fill in time for Christmas with a planned launch in 'early December' 2025.
