A BAR chain is set to open a new Southampton outlet, creating 20 jobs.

All Bar One will throw open the doors at its first venue in the city at Westquay on Friday.

To celebrate the launch, All Bar One is hosting a competition on its Facebook page giving the public chances to win prizes including gift cards.

Paula O'Reilly, All Bar One Southampton Westquay general manager, said: “We’re looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming locals, shoppers and tourists to our brand-new bar.

"Guests can experience the contemporary design, together with the fresh tastes on our new menu and indulge in some refreshing drinks.

“The bar looks absolutely fantastic, and the team can’t wait to start meeting guests and we would encourage anyone who hasn’t been to All Bar One to pop in and experience it for themselves!

"We are delighted with the location of this All Bar One, right in the centre of West Quay with a beautiful outside space, which will be the perfect place to relax after a hard days shopping!”

The company says the bar will offer a variety of food and drink and will be open from 8am until 10pm daily.

Throughout January it will be taking part in the annual Veganuary campaign to promote lifestyle benefits of a meat and dairy free diet.
