The 21-year-old died in September 2023

The family of a Manx resident that died after contracting meningitis in September are launching a bar in his name.

Looky's Lounge Bar will open to the public on Friday.

The cocktail bar located at the Best Western Palace Hotel and Casino is in honour of Lucas Martin.

The 21-year-old died suddenly in September after contracting meningitis.

He has been described as a 'genuinely lovely person' and 'an amazing lad and friend to so many'.

Lucas was an organ donor and his organs went on to help others across the UK.

'Looky's Aid'

While Looky's Lounge Bar will be open to the public soon - there's also a memorial wall that people can donate money towards 'Looky's Aid'.

The charity was setup in Lucas' name - which hopes to give opportunities to young people facing adversity.

His father Brett and brother Connor told Manx Radio there's a lot of references to 'Looky' in the bar:
