A FORMER Wrexham town centre bar which has been shut for several years will go under the hammer later this month.

The old Chicago Rock Cafe in Brook Street has been given a guide price of £150,000 plus.

The sale also includes the freehold of the adjoining building which is currently occupied by Atik nightclub.

Prior to the buildings being split, the site was originally the Odeon Theatre, built in 1937, before becoming a cinema and later a bingo hall until 1999.

The Odeon was then converted into a Chicago Rock Cafe, which shut in 2013, and Liquid and Envy nightclub, which was eventually replaced by Atik.

The property, which is being sold by Pugh Auctions, will go under the hammer as lot 28 during an online auction on Wednesday, February 24.

Bidding commences the day before and ends shortly after 11am on the Wednesday.

"There are wooden double gates to the side of the building which allow access and off street parking for approximately two vehicles.

"The sale includes the freehold title to the neighbouring property, Atik nightclub, which has been sold off by way of a 999 year lease dated 2006."
