Closed recently and reopened as a pseudo-nightclub called Nyx Sports Bar and Grill.

Paradox seems to be popular once again, at least it is at weekends. The upstairs still isn't open unless booked for a private party. Still an uncomfortable mix of drinkers and diners. Mainly young people dressed in their finest, drinking cocktails. I made the mistake of buying a pint of Theakston Perculier IPA and a pint of Estrella lager - cost........£8:70 !

I honestly don't know what's happened to this place but over the last 6 months it has gone from being hugely popular to virtually empty. I've not heard anyone with a bad word to say about it but it is no longer popular. A few weeks ago it was renamed 'Paradox' and appears to be run by new people but it is still empty even at weekends.

The upstairs bar has been closed the last couple of times I've been and I was directed to the downstairs bar where I stood adjacent to customers sat at tables eating meals. An uncomfortable experience for all concerned.

Guinness £3:95 a pint and Tiger £4:30 a pint - London prices arrive in Heswall!

Oh forgot.....as you might expect from a new, modern bar.....there is no real ale, just Euro fizz and keg John Smiths.

A swanky, expensive bar and restaurant on two floors created on the site of a former shop. The Courtyard - Heswall is in the centre of Heswall a few yards from a major road junction. It has no car park and cars and taxis stopping at the door can cause traffic chaos at the nearby traffic lights. The Courtyard opened a couple of months ago. The downstairs seems to be a restaurant. On the occasions I've been there for a drink the doormen have directed me upstairs to the bar. Stainless steel, wood and dark faux marble abound. A bit of a poseurs place but worth a look if you are flush.
