Cocktail bar to close
A steampunk-themed cocktail bar will close on International Steampunk Day on June 14.
The Clockwork Rose opened on St Stephen’s Street in 2017 as the fictional watering hole of the adventurer Captain Sebastian Commodore.
It was envisaged by its owners to be a “welcoming Steampunk cocktail bar for our local community, with a comfortable but stylish environment that felt like you were being invited into our home”.

In an Instagram post, co-owner Kit Stutt said: “It is with great sadness that we announce that The Clockwork Rose will be closing its doors permanently with our last day being Saturday 14th June, on International Steampunk Day.
“Dani & I would like to sincerely thank everyone that has been by our side during this adventure. It has been absolutely fantastic! We hope to see you all over the next few weeks as we serve up the last of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters and polish off the Infinity Rum!
“We’re also going to be bringing back some of our favourite cocktails over the years for a special Victory Lap menu, so keep an eye out for that as we bring our story to a close.
“Incredible amounts of love to you all, and a huge thank you once again. To paraphrase the final words of Christopher Eccleston’s 9th Doctor ‘You were fantastic, and d’you know what? So were we!'”
