A Warrington town centre sports bar originally named in honour of local darts supremo Luke Littler has rebranded after being hit with a trademark warning.
Originally set to be named Nukes Sports Bar at The Hive in Sankey Street, named after the nickname for Littler – Luke the Nuke, the venue aimed to pay homage to Littler and other darts players.
But after the threat of legal action from Littler’s solicitors, the brand new sports bar, has renamed as McCoys replaced Religion Coffee which is moving to a space inside The Hive, a boutique shopping centre. Both businesses are owned by Owen Williams, who also runs the The Tank Bar and Live Lounge.

Owen said: “We are also bringing affordable drinking to the town allowing people of all ages to socialise, play pool, darts and enjoy live sport without costing the earth.
“I also own tank bar, a live Music venue bringing the best atmosphere in late night venues. We have our tankfest festival this Saturday with live music from 2pm until 2am.”
He added that Religion coffee & sandwiches will be re-opening in The Hive next Monday.
