Liverpool’s Burnt Milk Hotel becomes Bar Glue
Chris Edwards, Owain Williams and Sam Grainger, the founders of wine and cocktail bar Burnt Milk Hotel, have passed the business onto its general manager and bar manager.
Mike Bower and Nathan Price reopened the site as Bar Glue last month (30 August).
Burnt Milk Hotel opened in 2022 and formed part of the Cos Hospitality portfolio alongside two Madre restaurants, Madre Burrito, Medlock Canteen and Belzan. Edwards, Williams and Grainger were looking to focus on upcoming projects and offload the bar.
Edwards said: “Our goal as a company has always been to grow and nurture talent, so who better to take over the bar than two of our own staff?
“Mike and Nathan have shared our passion over the past two years for delicious drinks and building a community within the bar. They have big ambitions and a great work ethic; we’re more than confident they’ll take the venue in the right direction and are excited to see what the future brings.”
Bower and Price have planned to open their own bar for six years and had developed the brand, image and goal while working together at Burnt Milk.
Bower added: “We love the site, and to have the opportunity to continue building the relationships we’ve made with our guests over the past two years made the decision easy. We knew we could really utilise the space for the vision that we have so we took the site on as our first venture.”
The bar will focus on ‘community, creativity and an exciting and accessible approach to the flavours and processes of bespoke cocktails’.
Price added: “Our goal is to shine a light on how exciting and talented Liverpool’s bar scene is. Too often this incredible city is overlooked in favour of bigger places, but what it offers is next to none.”
