Hull venue to launch for bank holiday weekend

1884 Marina Bar will open on 24 August in the former premises of 1884 Dock Street Kitchen. The director is Dan Poole, who has moved across from his role as head chef at 1884 Wine and Tapas Bar.

Poole has now recruited the majority of his team of more than 20 to staff the venue.

He said: "We've recruited a brilliant team, many of them from some of the top restaurants, bars and hotels in the area. They're all passionate about what they do and really excited about our plans for 1884 Marina Bar. Now they just want to open the doors and get to work.

"People might not think we've altered a great deal because a lot of the changes are subtle, but we've reconfigured the layout to accommodate a wider range of people, from couples to big groups for special occasions and corporate events, and the food and drink is very different. The opening weekend will demonstrate the huge variety of entertainment from the start to complete an experience which is unique in the Hull area."
