One Eight Six, the Deansgate basement bar which caught fire on New Year’s Eve 2021, is gearing up to re-open after a huge £1.5 million renovation. The bar, owned by singer Dean Mac, is aiming to throw open the doors at the end of April.
Mac is also simultaneously refitting a brand new bar location in Didsbury, on the site of the former restaurant Cau in the village. Both projects have been significantly delayed due to various issues, from lockdown to insurance to building materials. But he now says he can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
