A NEW cocktail bar will soon be opening in West Cumbria. 

The Sinner, located on Strand Street in Whitehaven, is set to open its doors in October 2024 and is currently undergoing renovation work. 

Connor Crossley, the owner, hopes to serve a variety of cocktails and also brunch throughout the day. 

Connor said: "It's going to be a new cocktail bar, I tried to open it last year but there was a bit of a struggle so it's taken a year to fully take shape. 

"I had an idea to turn the building into a salon, but I've since decided to make it a cocktail bar for people passing by to pop in. 

"I've had a lot of interest so far, with many people already trying to make bookings. 

"Throughout my life, I've worked in pubs all through Whitehaven. 

"I want it to be a daytime drinking bar that serves brunch and themed brunches. 

"Our cocktail list will be named after the seven deadly sins, as the venue is going to be called The Sinner."
