A BASINGSTOKE bar which mysteriously closed down a few weeks ago is now being advertised to let.

Bar Rock in Winchester Street closed on February 1 when a notice was put on the door of the premises giving notice of the termination of the licence, but no reason why this had happened.

Now, a sign has been put up outside the Top of The Town venue, by commercial property agents London Clancy, advertising the 6,300sq ft “prime retail unit.”

A member of staff for London Clancy told The Gazette that they began marketing the ground floor of the building to let last week for £110,000 per year.

Bar Rock was the second nightspot in Basingstoke to shut its doors this year, following the closure of Censo, in Church Street, in January.
