Owner Daniel Halasz is putting the finishing touches to the £500k refurbishment of The Beresford Lounge in The Beresford Hotel on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street incorporating a café and arestaurant in phase one due to open in the new year. Phase two involves a night club and event space and is still in the planning stage.
The art deco-inspired interior includes a mural by artist Catherine Abel and Daniel told DRAM, “It’s a two-phased project. We will first open the ground floor and mezzanine of the premises to the public, which will have around 110 covers in the bar section, 40 covers in the cafe, and 60 additional covers that will be available outside.
“Although the outside seating will be sheltered and heated, we plan to have this section mostly operated in the more pleasant times of the year. All in all, we will be spending around half a million on the first phase of the project, including planning, construction, materials, furniture, kitchen, etc. Phase two of the project will bring a club and multi-functional event space with 36 fixed seating and a capacity to house about 300 people.”
