Despite a loyal customer base and great atmosphere, Steve posted on Facebook that the bar located on the ground floor of the Everyman cinema building next to Farmhouse cafe-restaurant was closing.

He said: "I started Stevie’s bar in February 2019 because I had spent the previous year managing the bar which was under a different name...

"It is with a heavy heart that I need to inform you that Stevie's has now closed."

His final message was to thank customers for their support.

He said: "I hope to meet each and every one of you again soon. Thank you all."
