PLANS for an “opulent” wine bar to open in the city centre have been given the green light by planning officers.
Proposals were submitted to turn the former site of the much-loved Acropolis Cafe at 13 to 17 Broadway into a bar with VIP seating and an “exclusive” cocktail area.
Applicant Cherelle Gooden said the business will employ five members of staff and will have room for a maximum of 62 customers, with three six-person booths, three poseur tables and shelves for drinks.
There will also be a separate cocktail bar but the documents show no plans for a kitchen.
The new bar would be in the 1,526 sq m empty unit next to Paddy Power in Landmark House.
It will be on the ground floor of the seven-storey building, which contains 91 flats and offices on the first floor.
