It's been announced that a new cocktail bar will open in Lancaster city centre later this month.
Mono Loco – described as "Lancaster’s wild new cocktail bar and experience" will open its doors on 52 Market Street in September.
The bar has been called "a design-led cocktail bar where jungle luxe meets wild nightlife...a wild jungle-lux cocktail theatre with smoke, UV, fire, and flavour experiments".
A post on the Mono Loco social media pages said it would be "where the jungle meets the night...where cocktails aren’t just poured… they’re performed...where mischief comes dressed in a Lux.
"This cheeky face is your new drinking buddy. Get ready for smoke, fire, foam & flavours that go loco.

"Lancaster. Opening September. Follow for chaos, cocktails and cheeky surprises."
Beyond Radio revealed the plans for the new cocktail bar in May, after a 'change of use' application went in to Lancaster City Council.
"The proposed works at 52 Market Street are minor, sensitive interventions that will secure the long-term re-use of a vacant listed building," said a statement submitted with the plans.
"They preserve the special interest of the listed building, support the vitality of the town centre and Conservation Area, are reversible, non-invasive, and in line with planning policy and do not affect archaeological sensitivity.
"Mono Loco’s re-use of the space represents a positive step in the ongoing stewardship of Lancaster’s built heritage."
The applicant is Antonio Martinez of The Cocktail Experience Ltd.
The council approved the application in June.
The 19th Century Grade II listed premises was previously home to a St John's Hospice charity shop.
