Inspired by Nashville’s finest dive bars, honky tonks and shows like Yellowstone, Maggie’s is going all out country as it becomes ‘The Home of Good Times’.

Owner Oli Norman said: “We’re taking Maggie’s to the next level and making it the ultimate feel-good place for big groups, stags, hens and anyone wanting to party.

“Maggie’s is an institution and is and will always be the home of live music and sport. We’re staying true to those roots but adding a country twist.

“We’ve all ended up three sheets to the wind in Maggie’s at some point – now we’re going to do it with our cowboy hats on.”
