Belfast City Council has awarded an outdoor licence for entertainment on the site of the demolished Movie House Cinema on Dublin Road.
At the recent meeting of the council ’s Licensing Committee, elected representatives agreed an application for the provisional grant of a seven day annual outdoor entertainments licence to provide outdoor musical entertainment. The applicant was Mr Lawrence Bannon of Tobar Inns Limited, of the Marcus Ward Cocktail Bar and Restaurant.
The premises will be a newly formed outdoor events space located on the current hardstanding area on the corner of Bankmore Square and Dublin Road, where the Movie House Cinema was demolished. It will use up the entirety of the space formerly occupied by the cinema. The perimeter to the event space is to be formed with shipping containers.
