John Willies furniture store stood on the corner of
Bradshawgate and Great Moor Street for many years until it was sold for
conversion into bar premises. It opened as Bentleys in May 1988 [1] but
underwent numerous name changes over the next 20 years or so. At various times
it was known as Chester Moonshines, then in 1999 it became the Revolution Bar,
part of a chain of vodka bars best known for offering multiple different
flavours of vodka.
There was one further change of name when it became an
all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant named Buffet King. By 2011 that had closed and
at the time of writing the premises were still empty.
