Powder Monkey has permanently shut its Andover bar at the Guildhall, the company has confirmed.

The brewery announced on its website the closure of its Anodver bar, which has been open since October, after questions were raised about the venue’s future.

In a statement, the company said: "Unfortunately, Powder Monkey in Andover is no longer open.

"We’d like to thank the Andover community for their support during our short stint at The Guildhall."

The decision ends the business’s short-lived presence in Andover town centre, where it had been based in the historic Guildhall building in town centre.

The venue's status had been unclear in recent days after it appeared to close without warning. Concerns were initially highlighted on May 15 after a sign was spotted on a window hinting at an 'exciting' return in the coming weeks.

Test Valley Borough Council had also been in contact with Powder Monkey, looking to understand the reasoning for closing.

The Guildhall remains a prominent High Street site, particularly with the town’s summer events approaching. The future of the premises has yet to be announced.
