A 'glamorous' bar has been planned to bring New York's style to Nottingham. New plans have been submitted to transform the former French Connection shop and bank on Victoria Street, next to Goldsmiths and Delilah Fine Foods, into a New York themed 'Manahatta' bar.
ARC Inspirations group have applied to open up a cocktail bar on the street which they hope will bring the "exciting unmistakeable beat of New York to the UK". The plans plot internal alterations to the unit, providing what developers have said is a "high quality, traditional appearance".
They added the alterations would be "entirely respectful" of the building's Grade-II listed status and would ensure its historic significance. The three-storey former bank building which was constructed in 1896 to form the base of the Midland Bank but is empty after French Connection vacated the premises.
