The little Preston venue that could, The Merri Bar has announced an exciting new collaboration with the talented team from The Taco Lovers.
The creative force behind Taco Lovers is Wee Man, a familiar name for many in the Northside. Having previously served up amazing dishes from the kitchen at Tallboy & Moose in Preston, Wee Man is now bringing his culinary magic to Merri Bar. Expect some extra special tacos coming your way this September.
Although The Merri Bar has only been around for a few years, the Preston venue has already become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike. With chilled-out live music on Saturdays and Sundays and a carefully curated selection of drinks available all week long, it’s the perfect northside gathering point for a casual catch-up.
