In September 2021, at the age of 22, I (Kerry) took over the bar, fulfilling a long-held dream of mine. Fresh out of university, I had always imagined running my own business, especially one where I could share my love for music.

After some significant renovations in February 2022, the bar became the The Pocket Cafe Bar. Since then, it's been an exciting journey of growth and learning. Despite the inevitable challenges, I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved. With the support of my fantastic team, led by my manager, Beth, and our dedicated supervisors and staff, we've created a welcoming and special place for everyone to enjoy.
