A COCKTAIL bar which traded in the city for eight years has closed its doors permanently.

Kludo Inc, at 19A Milford Street, has gone into voluntary liquidation following a long battle to stay open amid setbacks.

The business's last day of trading was Saturday, April 2. 

Director Tom Mundy told the Journal: "We've taken the tough decision to close our doors, after a long battle trying to stay afloat since the major impacts of Covid-19 and subsequent financial instability of the economy. 

"This decision has been made with a heavy heart after eight brilliant years of partying.

"We hope we've positively contributed to the Salisbury nighttime economy throughout our tenure."

Mr Mundy thanked all his regular customers who helped the business keep going for as long as it has.

The venue has fallen back into the landlord's ownership.
