A new micropub is set to open off Hove seafront.
A new company called BeerBelly wants to open the venue in a former drycleaners on the corner of Victoria Terrace and Sussex Road.
The application says: “We would like to change the use of this building from retail to sui generis to create a micropub and bottleshop under the business name Beerbelly Ltd.
“Not much change to the building will be needed, an upgrade to the toilet and the installation of a cold room downstairs and beer lines to reach an upstairs small bar area. No major building works needed.”
The company has also applied for an alcohol licence, asking to sell alcohol for consumption both on and off the premises from midday to 10.30pm from Monday to Saturday and from midday to 10pm on Sunday.
Both applications have yet to be decided.
Dammit Jim!
I was really hoping it was going to be another coffee shop… 🤭
It has now opened,⁸ and proves to be convivial and congenial. Do not bother with the typical doom- monger commenters below the Argus piece about this.
