A bar overlooking Morecambe Bay has revealed its new look to a positive response.

The Pestle & Mortar on Marine Road has new signage after recently rebranding from its previous name Embargo.

The bar, which sells cask ales, craft beers and wines, was taken over by new management late last year.

"Really pleased with our new signage!" said a post on The Pestle & Mortar Facebook page.

"It stands out a mile and with a few tweaks will be perfect!

"Next project to get the frontage cleaned up and a little bit fancier, then we are all ready for a fabulous summer."

Below, how Embargo looked before the changes.

There were several positive comments in reply, including from the 'We Love Morecambe' page which said: "Looking fab."

Andrew posted: "Wow, impressive. Looks superb, hope you continue to go from strength to strength."

It was announced in December that Nicola and Michael Kirby, who run The Dispensary coffee shop and wine bar on Heysham Road in Heysham, had also taken over Embargo, which then reopened after a short period of closure for redecoration and maintenance.

The Kirbys opened The Dispensary (below), in a former chemist and florist on Heysham Road, in 2023.
