A New York City-style dive bar is set to open in a seaside town next month.

Blackmarket is making its way to Tontine Street, Folkestone, and will serve up cocktails, beers, burgers and fried chicken.

The venue will be run by Nathan Roberts, known for his popular burger joint That Burger on the Folkestone Harbour Arm.

Now he is taking his his expertise to the site of former Italian restaurant Luciano Pizzeria.

Blackmarket is inspired by American biker bars and dive bar culture.

As well as serving beers and cocktails, the menu will include burgers, fried chicken, loaded fries and speciality hotdogs.

Blackmarket will also hold supper club nights featuring jerk chicken and curried goat.

Mr Roberts said: “We’re bringing the spirit of American biker and dive bars to Folkestone, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience what we have in store.

“People have been asking me for years when will I open a bricks-and-mortar venue and after finding the perfect location now felt like just the right time.

“I’ve got so many ideas and I think the locals I going to really embrace what we are bringing to the town.”

Blackmarket is set to open its doors in early November and will be serving customers from Wednesday through to Sunday. An exact opening date has not yet been published.
