Beannchor, one of the North’s largest hospitality groups, is to create a further 60 jobs in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter as part of a £400,000 investment in a new cocktail bar and nightclub.

The company, founded 30 years ago by well known local entrepreneur Bill Wolsey, already owns some of Belfast's busiest bars and the five star luxury Merchant Hotel.

The hospitality group now employs more than 650 people across its operations in the North.

Its the latest investment for Beannchor in its multi-million pound, expanding Cathedral Quarter portfolio which currently includes The Dirty Onion, the free-range rotisserie chicken restaurant, Yard Bird, The National Grande Café Bar and an artisan bakery.

Beannchor hope its new “high end venue” will bring a different dimension to Belfast’s evening economy.
