Only Fools and Horses bar to open in UK, complete with Del Boy's Reliant Robin

An Only Fools and Horses-themed bar is due to open this year, with Del Boy's iconic Reliant Robin set to take central stage in the boozer.

Fans of the BBC show, which first aired in 1981, can enjoy a tipple or two on recreated sets from the programme when Only Fools Bar opens in Liverpool.

The pub will be filled with backdrops from the popular 80s show and is expected to serve a Del Boy-inspired cocktail list and a menu to match.

Only Fools Bar will also feature a Nags Head area, dedicated to the much-loved fictional pub, with a fully functioning bar inside, the Liverpool Echo reports.

James Daly, co-owner of Only Fools Bar, said: “We’re all huge fans of the show and we wanted to bring something totally different to the city.

“We’re all from Liverpool so we know the city, we wanted to create a unique bar experience in a nostalgic setting.”

Liverpool artist Paul Curtis has already painted a huge mural on the outside of the property so the bar will definitely be easy to spot.

Only Fools Bar is expected to open at the beginning of November at the site of a former circus-themed bar and restaurant called Circo.

A launch party will be held on the night of October 31, with the 'world's best impersonators of the cast' expected to attend.

Only Fools Bar posted on Facebook that revellers were invited to visit the boozer, which they dubbed 'our Nelson Mandela House' after the block of flats where Rodney and Del Boy lived.

They added: "Have a pint in The Nags Head, relax in The Flat, get a snack from The Kitchen or get comfy in our Reliant Robin!"

It is not clear whether the bar has the original Reliant Robin - which was actually a Reliant Regal - used by the BBC in the show.
