Point Blank Bar Chain Enters Liquidation, Closes All Remaining UK Sites

The collapse follows the loss of its Manchester lease after the landlord went into administration.

Overview

  • Operations ceased immediately at venues in Newcastle on Newgate Street, Leeds on Cloth Hall Street and Manchester on Deansgate.
  • All existing reservations were cancelled with immediate effect as the liquidation process begins.
  • Company statements describe the situation as unforeseen and say they are working with relevant parties to clarify bookings.
  • The bars had been promoting Valentine's offers, bottomless brunches and a Super Bowl screening in late January, underscoring the sudden shutdown.
  • Point Blank grew from plans set in 2019 with an August 2020 launch and had previously left Liverpool in December 2024 due to landlord-led redevelopment.
