Louis and Andrew Macrides have owned and run the seafront spot for just over 20 years and on Saturday will say farewell to their loyal customers.

Louis, aged 46, said their responsibilities have changed now they are both fathers and said it is time to let someone else take the reins of the music bar in Beach Road.

He said: “Me and Andrew to not have the time to look after this place any more.

“Our hearts are there but I have four children and Andrew has five.

“It needs to be run by younger people and needs some new blood to take over.”

Louis, who also used to run La Costa night-club, said he and his twin feels a great sense of nostalgia when they look back on their opening which was featured on the front page of the Mercury, but will still be around to offer business advice to the new entrepreneurs who take over the bar.

Andrew is now focussing on property letting and Louis has recently turned his hand to life coaching.

He has uploaded more than 150 advice videos to YouTube after taking on a hypnosis course and said he has had success in helping people battle some of their problems.

Louis said: “Andrew and I have had a fantastic 20 years and have had a lot of support from Weston people and we need to give big thanks for that.

“Our last night will be on Saturday and we will have a big celebration to mark our time here.”
