News: Rotherham bar and restaurant closes, changes planned
Another popular venue in Rotherham has announced that changes are on the menu, reports Visit Rotherham.
Rothbiz reported last month that The Garrison at Wickersley was set for a "small transformation" later this year.
Now Visit Rotherham reports on changes at The Olive Lounge, which is located on the same road as The Garrison.
Operators have also announced closure for a full refurbishment and have hinted that "something new is coming soon."
The venue serves authentic homemade tapas with quality wines, beers and original cocktails and the W Bars Team have announced at the end of 2025 that they had taken over The Olive Lounge.
The team are part of the same group that operates the W Italian Restaurant on Bawtry Road.
A post on social media states: "After more than ten years, The Olive Lounge is getting ready to close this chapter.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported The Olive Lounge and been part of the journey. A full refurbishment is coming next, along with a completely new look, style and experience.
"Something new is coming soon."
The final day as The Olive Lounge was September 13.
Rothbiz reported recently that The Olive Lounge had seen its planning permission for an extension turned down by Rotherham Council.
Plans show a single storey glass extension to the front facing Bawtry Road that would take the venue from 2,799 sq ft to 3,552 sq ft.
Planners objected to the appearance of the proposed extension concluding that it would be "a prominent addition which would materially affect the appearance and character of the host property and form an incongruous feature that would have a detrimental impact on the existing street scene."
In response, a new application has been submitted.
The latest plans are for a similar glazed front extension that would take the venue to 3,400 sq ft. The main difference between the two proposals is that the latest planned extension doesn't reach and follow the footpath boundary to the front of the property.
