Pictured: The new General Manager, Ben Kavanagh,
The Troubadour closed in January when landlord Noel Flood retired after nearly a decade of managing the venue.
The Liberation Brewery, who are partnered with the venue, said: “We are thrilled to introduce the new General Manager, Ben Kavanagh. With 38 years in the hospitality industry, Ben brings a wealth of experience and passion for providing top-notch service. He’s also super excited to bring lots of live music and entertainment to the heart of St Helier.”
Mr Kavanagh said: “I’m looking forward to welcoming faces old and new back to the Troubadour from Friday.
“We’re having a reopening party with the amazing 88 Bunkface which should be great fun and the perfect way to let islanders know we’re back and ready to serve them our award-winning beers once again!
“We’ll also now be showing all live sports on Sky and will be hosting live music events every weekend.”

The venue, formerly known as the Ha’Penny Bridge, was reopened by landlord Noel Flood as a refurbished live music venue in 2015 and partnered with the Jersey-based Liberation Group.
He renamed the pub after a famous Hollywood venue, where the likes of James Taylor, Carole King and The Eagles got their start, and where Elton John played his first US gig.
The venue was once a hotel known as The Great Western Hotel, before it became a pub, but kept its name throughout the 20th century until it became The Bridge, the Ha’Penny Bridge and, finally, the Troubadour.
