A young local entrepreneur is hoping to bring exciting nightlife to Cleethorpes.
Liam Pungi, 21, is following in the footsteps of his father, former nightclub owner Kash Pungi. Liam has transformed Platform in Station Road and will shortly be opening Pool Bar in Sea Road, previously known as the Litehouse/Nokturnal nightclub.
Platform has been under Liam’s management for the past few months. He said diverse acts, including circus performers, DJs, and themed nights, had brought fresh energy to the area, offering a much-needed departure from the repetitive club scene and turning the bar into a hotspot for 18-25-year-olds
With events such as, “Ibiza Comes to Cleethorpes,” “Greatest Showman,” and “Ladies Night,” Liam has a mission to bring a city-style clubbing experience to Cleethorpes.
Liam is now turning his attention to Pool Bar which he recently acquired. It’s undergone a £10,000 refurbishment and Liam plans to transform it back into a bustling nightclub.
He said: “We want to have four really large, bigger than ever events and just fill it. I’ve set it up to be absolutely perfect for these events. I’m not looking at every weekend and I’m not looking to take anyone’s trade.
“I just want to have these perfect put-together big nights, something people will remember forever.”
Pool Bar’s opening night will take place with its first residency, Octave, on Saturday, October 12. With over 30 talented local DJs, both established and emerging, and a free entry policy, Liam said he aims to create an unforgettable experience.
