The bar previously became well-known for its burger challenge and generous toppings from spicy cheese, jalapeños and chorizo to chilli, cheddar and sour cream.
But that could be about to change.
Speaking to City Buzz, general manager Jamie Wright said: “We are in the process of designing a new food menu.
“We’re looking to offer cleaner burgers that look a bit neater on the plate.”

Whilst we’re sad to say goodbye to It Bar, we’re excited to see how this newbie gets on.
