Café lounge bar operator, Loungers opened its landmark 300th venue with the launch of Antico Lounge at 37-39 High Street in Alton in Hampshire on Wednesday 13 August.

The venue is the company’s 300th in total across its Loungers, Cosy Club and Brightside brands.

Executive chairman Alex Reilley said:

"Last week, we were back in Bristol, where we have opened our eighth site in our home town and our 299th site overall; Rubino Lounge has opened in Church Road in Redfield. This week sees us hit 300!”

In May, Loungers opened first new Cosy Club site with a reimagined look and branding in Reading – with further launches under the brand planned for St Albans in October and Swansea early next year.

The company opened its 250th Lounge branded site, and 290th venue overall, in Norwich in March.
