Popular Lichfield bar revived as Bar Home opens its doors following huge six-figure investment

The former Walkabout on Bird Street has now reopened as Bar Home, a Social Pub and Kitchen venue from owners Stonegate Group, having opened on Wednesday.

The group moved the bar to its Social Pub and Kitchen division under the new name of Bar Home and opened its doors on Monday, having closed at the end of August.

The renovations were undertaken during a four-week period which saw a full decoration of the venue, with brand-new state-of-the-art lighting found throughout Bar Home, fixed booth seating, all equipped with HD TVs and an upgraded audio-visual system.

Stonegate said the new investment is set to make the popular bar the home of pub sport in Lichfield, with all the major sports channels being shown on the venue’s many HD TV screens. 

Guests can also make the most of two new interactive dart boards, a traditional dart board, two pool tables and an arcade game.

The reopening also marked the debut of a brand-new food and drinks menu, which will feature the likes of Detroit-style pizzas and juicy burgers amongst other dishes.

The revamped drinks menu sees the addition of some signature Social Pub and Kitchen favourites; the Coco Paloma featuring coconut tequila, Rum Bungo with Sailor Jerry’s rum and Cherry Cola, a sweet mix of Sourz Cherry, Coca-cola, finished with some cola sweets.

MiXR users can also unlock exclusive rewards at Bar Home by downloading the MiXR app and creating an account, including a free drink just for signing up, while students can also take advantage of special discounts available exclusively through the app.

Anna Jones, General Manager of Bar Home, said: “We’re so excited to introduce Bar Home to guests, we know they are going to love all the hard work we’ve put it into making Bar Home the best night out in Lichfield.

“We want this investment and rebrand to make our pub the go-to destination in Lichfield, not only for enjoying the best sporting action on our big screens, but also for enjoying delicious food and drink at great prices.

“Our new food and drinks menu means we now have an unmatched selection of world beers, ciders, and cocktails, which I believe is the best offering in the area, and with all our new features, I know guests are going to love coming to the brand-new Bar Home to enjoy the best bottomless brunch in town.”

The pub hosts a variety of exciting food and drink deals throughout the week, with the popular 2-for-1 cocktail offer all week and bottomless brunch at the weekend.

A new weekly events schedule has also been announced, with free pool on Mondays, speed quizzing on Tuesdays, 40p wings on Wednesday alongside free interactive darts, open mic nights on Thursday and all the big matches broadcast throughout the week.

At the weekend, Bar Home is party central with the venue staying open until 2am on Friday and Saturday.
