The beloved Expanse Hotel and Marine Bar in Bridlington has closed its doors after nearly nine decades of service to the community
Bridlington: It’s a real bummer to hear that the Expanse Hotel and Marine Bar has shut down. This place has been a staple in the community for almost 90 years!
The team shared the news on social media, and you could feel the heartbreak. They mentioned how it was started by their grandfather back in 1937. Can you believe that?
People are really feeling the loss. Many have shared their fond memories of the hotel and bar, which welcomed so many visitors over the years. It was a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike.
In their heartfelt message, they thanked everyone who supported them through the years. They mentioned how much they appreciated their loyal customers and staff who made the place so special.
Sadly, they cited tough trading conditions as the reason for the closure. But they’re still going to keep their apartments and residential flats running, so that’s something.
Folks who have enjoyed their time there are expressing their sadness. One regular, Sandra, said it was her lifeline for 30 years! Others shared how they made great friends and had a blast at the entertainment events.
It’s just a tough time for everyone involved. The Expanse will surely be missed by many in Bridlington.
