The much-loved Knott Bar in Manchester city centre has permanently closed its doors.
The popular beer bar on Deansgate announced a temporary closure last summer, writing at the time that they planned to reopen in the autumn.
But once coronavirus restrictions eased this spring, the doors to The Knott stayed closed.

The bar is now listed as permanently closed and its social media pages have fallen silent.
The site at 374 Deansgate won't stay vacant for long, with new owners already lined up to take over.
In a game of hospitality musical chairs, the team behind Dom's Tavola Calda are moving into the empty two-storey venue.
Dom's Tavola Calda has been on the ground floor of the eyesore building Premier House, on the corner of Deansgate and Blackfriars Street, since 2015.
They closed the doors at the restaurant in August, but will be shifting their operation down the road to the former The Knott building, which will trade as Dom's Italia.
Posting on Facebook, they confirmed: "Good evening to all our customers friends and family of Doms.
"It comes with great regret that we have to close our doors for last time on Monday the 9th August.
"It has been an eventful and memorable 8 years, and we would like to thank all of you that have been to see us here at Doms, whether it was just for a coffee or an evening out.
"For the foreseeable future all our staff will be moving over to our sister restaurant Vincenzo Trattoria, st Anne's street manchester.
"Fortunately it's not the end of Doms as we will be opening a new restaurant at 374 deansgate Manchester in the up and coming months called Doms Italia , as soon as we have finished the renovation we will inform you all, again Thankyou and hope to see you all sooon in the near future."
The M.E.N. has attempted to contact The Knott for comment on its closure.
Last summer, they posted a statement that read: "Despite our best efforts over the last month to work within a sustainable business model amid testing circumstances, The Knott Bar will postpone trading following the close of business on Saturday August 15.
"The difficulties operating throughout the pandemic were exacerbated by the heightened local restrictions implemented this month.
"Whilst we appreciate these measures are necessary to save lives and stop the spread of the virus, working within these new boundaries and maintaining the long-term welfare of the business are not both achievable.
"With further uncertainty regarding hospitality when schools start in September, we have taken the decision to temporarily close our doors, with the intention to re-open in the autumn."
