Team behind popular Shrewsbury pizza restaurant Dough & Oil launches new bar next door

'Modern British pub' sits next to popular pizza café and adds to group's expanding food and drink empire

A new bar has opened in Shrewsbury town centre.

Called Lucky Shot, it is based at 16-17 Castle Street and is housed in the former Moose bar which was only open for a few months last winter and themed like an Alpine arès-ski venue.

The new venture bills itself as a "modern British pub" on social media and sells cocktails, beers including Boddingtons, Guinness and Double Diamond and a menu featuring fish pie, Scotch egg, Welsh rarebit and potted crab among others.

Lucky Shot is run by the team behind pizzeria Dough & Oil, which sits next door to the venue, and live music and cocktail bar Oil which is also in Castle Street.

They also run taco restaurant Bobby's in The Parade.

The two-storey building at 16-17 Castle Street, is Grade II-listed and dates back to the early 19th century.

It was also previously home to Cups Coffee & Creators and homeware retailer Country Linens and Interiors.
