Plan to turn closed city bank into new restaurant with apartments overhead.

A plan's been lodged to turn an old city bank into a new restaurant, with 12 apartments also earmarked to go above it.

Someone's lodged an application to turn the old Bank of Ireland on Bridge St into a new cafe/restaurant on the ground floors with another unit being changed into one and two-bedroom accommodation.

The spot is split into two units, with the ground floor earmarked for the new food business and access to the flats above.

The first, second, and third floors, which are currently storage areas, would be overhauled.

Clopen Capital sent the submission to Cork City Council this week and a decision is set to be made by October 7th.

They also applied to do some works on the front and back of the building, including elevations, signage for a shop front, change the window types, and put in balconies.

A new restaurant would be a very welcome addition to the buzzing area which recently saw an old closed Subway be turned into a Priory Coffee.
