Heavily patterned wallpapers, tiling and stripped back wooden floors. It can only mean another cafe and bar opened by the Bristol-based Loungers group - this time in the market town of Thornbury near Bristol.
Replacing Prezzo in the town’s High Street, Tesoro Lounge opened to the public on Thursday, June 1. And given the smiles from those inside from the opening day, it appears to be popular.
Loungers was founded in 2002 a three friends who wanted to create a neighbourhood bar and car people would want to go to. There are already lounge bars in Filton, Westbury-on-Trym, Fishponds, Horfield and Bedminster.
Gemma Irwin, Community Manager at Loungers, says: “We are delighted to be bringing Loungers to Thornbury. Our Lounges strive to put community at the heart of hospitality and our teams always go the extra mile to make a difference.
“They are actively encouraged to connect with their communities by working with local groups, charities, organisations and businesses that are at the heart of the fabric of local life. We are very much looking forward to welcoming local residents to Tesoro Lounge.”
