THE owners of a Stretford venue say they will not be returning after lockdown.
Streford Sip Club, in Barton Road, has made its name as a popular hang-out for a loyal band of customers.
But a spokesman said: "Our tenancy ran out during lockdown and in order to renew and reopen our landlord has insisted on a rent increase and a long lease.
"There have been a few other major blows over the past couple of weeks and all things combined it seems like the right time to hang up our Stretford heels for a bit."
Customers from over the past six years have been thanked for their support.
