Bayview Bar reopens following community investment
ByThe Courier Reporter
A Dundee pub has been reopened after a group of eight regulars chipped in to keep it afloat.
The Bayview Bar on Earn Crescent closed in August but the group has invested £8,000 to keep it open.
Locals including Mike Heppenstall decided to take action after becoming fed up of seeing the venue shutting up shop.
The 67-year-old said: “I have lived in his area for 10 years and in that time the pub has been boarded up four times.
“After it had closed during the summer a group of people living close to the pub decided to form a group and come to an agreement to open it back up again. Following discussions between the eight of us, we asked for permission to open the pub.”
In is latter years the pub was renowned for being an early rehearsal venue for Dundee band The View.
