In February 2018 it was re-named as Mad Hatters.

In December 2018 it was re-named (at least temporarily) the PR1 Bar.

In April 2019 it was re-named the Speakeasy. It closed in October 2019, and subsequently the new owners gave notice that it would no longer be a pub.

In December 2019 it became the Nostalgia Cocktail Bar.
