Belfast hospitality group Beannchor has announced a £400,000 investment at its Cathedral Quarter nightclub venue above The National.
The four-level Sixty6 complex originally opened above the High Street bar a decade ago.
Following a refresh of The National’s ground level bar and restaurant in 2019, the nightclub venue in the former National Bank building will now undergo a significant renovation.
Beannchor is one of Belfast’s most prominent family-run hospitality businesses.
Alongside the Merchant and Bullitt hotels, it owns the Little Wing pizza chain and a number of popular pubs.
The revamped Sixty6 will include a new laid back lounge on the first floor, with a more up-tempo DJ-led venture across the second and third floors.
A new refreshed roof terrace is also planned for the top floor.
Beannchor said work to restore the former bank building’s façade is also underway.
“The vision across all our establishments has always been to provide unique, exciting, and exceptional experiences,” said company director Conall Wolsey.
“To do this, ongoing innovation and investment is essential to ensure our offering continues to exceed our customers’ expectations.
“This significant refurbishment will greatly improve the customer journey through the venue, whilst great care has been taken to curate an entertainment roster that will appeal to an increasingly discerning clientele.”
Sixty6 is due to reopen on March 1, with The National remaining open throughout the work.
