A popular city centre bar has undergone a major revamp – and to mark the occasion it’s also adopted a new name.<\/p>\n

Still a go-to spot on Oldham<\/a> Street, the much-loved bar, Wilson’s Social, has relaunched under new ownership and is now going by the name, ‘Wilson’s’.<\/p>\n

The bar has kept its name as an homage to local legend Tony Wilson, the Manchester music and media figure who co-founded Factory Records and The Ha\u00e7ienda.<\/p>\n

Revitalised by its new owners SmartRentalGroup, its refreshed interiors feature new plush leather booths and bright, contemporary d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Manuel Cordero, Country Manager – Portugal, UK & Greece at SmartRental Group said: \u201cWilson\u2019s has always been part of the fabric of Manchester, and with this relaunch, we wanted to build on that legacy while bringing something fresh to the venue.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s still very much a place for great food, great drinks, and great people – and we\u2019re excited to celebrate with our giveaway, both to mark the relaunch and to pay tribute to our namesake, Tony Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n
