A new place for prosecco is opening in Birmingham.
Olivia’s Townhouse, a boutique cocktail bar and club with terrace, will open in the Arcadian - in the building formerly occupied by a Reflex nightclub.
The 7,000 sq ft venue will comprise of am “elegant bar serving up prosecco and cocktails” as well as a “state-of-the-art” clubroom.
Owners Innspired Leisure, plan to spend £750,000 on refurbishing the venue, including installing a four-metre high tree that will be lit up at night, a outside garden area and a first floor terrace.
The company hopes Olivia’s Townhouse in Birmingham will be the first venue of a new brand, with further venues opening across the country.
It is welcome news for the centre and surrounding area which has seen a number of high profile closures over the years including Le Truc, Meating and The Electric nightclub which is due to be bulldozed later this year.
On the bar's new facebook page it states: " There's a new social butterfly landing in Birmingham, she's got her own party pad and you're invited.
"Olivia is getting ready to fling open her doors, to reveal a designer interior, fit for her exclusive guest list.
Reflex closed after 12 years in March 2016.
A spokeswoman for LCP, which owns and manages The Arcadian, said: “Olivia’s will be uncompromisingly glamorous with a lavish fit-out in the heart of The Arcadian.
“It will be premium-led operation that is aimed at a sophisticated crowd – from friends who want to share a bottle of prosecco on our terrace to those who appreciate a good cocktail. A food offering will follow too, which is currently being developed.
“With all the developments taking place nearby in Hurst Street and the potential redevelopment of the wholesale markets, it is clear that The Arcadian is an exciting place to be.”
Richard Jones, head of retail and leisure at LSH Birmingham, added: “There was a great deal of interest in the venue and we are very pleased to have secured a well-established name to open its latest venture in The Arcadian.
"The city shows no let up when it comes to attracting bars, restaurants and clubs, which is great news for the local economy and for jobs.”
Olivia’s Townhouse will join other nearby new venues for the area Meat Shack and Thorp17 restaurant and bar.
