What's really pleased and impressed me is the retail units fronting Deansgate have 'all' be let to a variety of independent retailers. Admittedly there are quite a few estate agents aswell. However, With the addition of Beetham, the GNT, and new tenants inside the Great Northern Warehouse, the whole area will become even more vibrant.

article about new restaurant in the old persia unit this has also been posted in the retail in manchester thread


New bar will be something to Relish

HOT on the heels of the glittering launch of The Grill On The Alley recently, word reaches me of yet another VIP-friendly restaurant and bar on its way to the city.

£3.5million has been splashed out on creating new restaurant, Relish, at the site of the former Persia eaterie at the Great Northern Warehouse.

Mount Street Investments has snapped up the venue to create a chic new restaurant and bar - complete with VIP area, of course.

Glitzy

It's set to open in early September with a glitzy launch bash, and I hear we can expect something opulent to rival the likes of celeb favourites Lounge Ten and The Living Room.

The new establishment will create more than 100 new jobs, and will be home to a 120-cover restaurant, 350-capacity bar and a mezzanine VIP area for up to 100.

The driving force behind it is Manchester-born businessman Andrew Aldrich, who has previously been involved with the successful Beluga restaurants in Bramhall and Manchester.

i remeber hearing rumors that AMC were going to expand into the ground floor units of the atrium that have layed empty since opening and have them as screens and turn it in a 24 screen cinema like originally planned

There's no way that the Casino will open in October. My friend is a supervisor at AMC so I get to poke around in there sometimes and we had a look behind the covers and most of the casino areas are still bare concrete floors, walls and ceilings. In turn, there will now be a bowling alley built below the AMC, with the AMC box office moving upstairs to the concessions area.

Great news. Shall we start taking bets on when the first bit of graffiti will appear on Beetham?

I feel an SSC bowlathon coming on

I must warn you all I was a champ at Pontins 1978, here's me in action.

Ive not been bowling for tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmme guy!
I remember being really good at it though so i'd like to slip on on a pair of Mod shoes and tickle some pins.
Showing my ignorance here but is their a bowling alley in Manchester?
I seem to remember one at White City and there is one out at Worsley but.......?

[rolybling]

There's a Megabowl in Didsbury and I think there's a bowling alley in Ashton somewhere. Might be one in Stockport, Superbowl or something?? There isn't one in town as far as I know.

I think the nearest one now after that is Warrington, near IKEA? That's in Manchester isn't it

Holywood Bowl at Ashton Moss Leisure Park is ace. Been there a few times when I come down to see my nan.

[The Longford]

Fuck dat shit!
I aint going to that Parrs Wood hell hole - if my heritage nazi mates find out ive been in there after what i said about it when it came to planning then i'd be shot at dawn.
Stockport? Where the fuck is Stockport? Never heard of it!
Ashton? I'd rather go to Leeds!
I used to live in a place called Aylesbury down south and that had one of the first bowling alleys in the country and it was fucking great - like a 60's time warp - but they knocked it down. Werent the olden days great?

Been there too. I done my RAF training in nearby RAF Halton in Wendover. Damned if I can recall the name of the bowling alley. We used to finish off our night in a pub called the Green Man. Great jukebox.

Jardines!
They named the bowling league after it.
I used have a lovely girlfriend from Wendover and much fun was had up in the Forestry Commision up behind the RAF camp!

Aylesbury Utd... I wasted far too much of my life at Buckingham Road, no wonder where you got your architectual tastes from if you lived in Aylesbury, where do you stand on the County Hall?

Anyway White City bowling has shut down a long time ago.... in Newcastle we had a great old bowlarama with 6 lanes that no one ever went to because they all went to the Trafford Centre. You could get unlimited bowling for £5 including a pint... happy days.

What a beauty!



The tramp battering scene in A Clockwork Orange (and other scenes that werent used) was filmed in the underpass at County Hall.
Kubrick considered Aylesbury to the perfect brutal landscape.
