New cocktail bar to open in Brum.

Hortons' Estate has agreed to let a retail and leisure unit in a city centre to a cocktail chain. Adventure Bar has signed a 20-year lease on unit 12 at the Burlington Arcade, in Birmingham, which will be home to cocktail and wine bar, Tonight Josephine. The privately-owned bar company has taken 5,171 sq ft of space on the ground floor and basement of the property on Stephenson Street. Adventure Bar has already completed a fit out of the unit and is set to open the new facility to the public later this year. Tonight Josephine, which has two sites in London, is named after Josephine de Beauharnais. She was te first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the bar is famous for its fuchsia pink interior and sassy neon wall slogans. The cocktail and wine bar will stage a range of events including full house bingo hosted by drag queens. The letting was made possible after Hortons' agreed to surrender the lease of former occupier, Ladbrokes Coral, who have been granted a new lease on a smaller space on the ground floor.
