Major Investment For Belfast Nightlife

Over £1.5 million will be spent on the refurbishment of two popular Belfast bars.

The Fly in south Belfast will get a new bar and night club while the city centre Apartment will have two separate bars and a night club over three floors - following the acquisition of neighbouring premises in Donegall Square West.

Stephen Magorrian, MD of Botanic Inns, said: "With tourism in Belfast continuing to increase, growing the numbers of visitors to the city, these renovations will develop the exciting potential of two of the city's most popular venues."

The company employs over 600 people and has 14 outlets including McHughes, The Whig and Madison's.

The company was included within the Financial Times Top 50 Workplaces 2007 and The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies To Work For 2007.
