A POPULAR Stourbridge pub is set to reopen after a four month refurbishment project.
The Swan, in Hagley Road,will welcome back regulars to check out the new look, which includes an upstairs cocktail bar and a VIP room, tonight (Friday).
Karl Parke, who has taken over the lease of the pub, said he was "thrilled" with the result.
He will employ 15 full and part time staff, with the aim to recruit more in January when the kitchen opens for trade.
Mr Parke said: “I’m hoping for a wow factor when our customers step through the door, the whole place has been modernised and improved to offer a pub/restaurant feel in the day time, and a micro club feel in the evenings.
"We hope that the pubs popularity continues to grow and regulars keep coming back, as well as attracting some new faces.”
