Manahatta, a well-known bar located in Birmingham city centre, has applied to extend its opening hours. The venue, operated by Arc Inspirations Limited at 10 Temple Street, Birmingham B2 5BN, has submitted a request to Birmingham City Council to vary its premises licence, allowing it to trade later into the night.
This application, made public through the Birmingham Mail and the Public Notice Portal, aims to formalise later trading, which could lead to increased late-night activity on Temple Street. To ensure safety and effective crowd management, the proposal includes implementing a fixed last entry time and maintaining a minimum number of door supervisors.
Residents and other interested parties who may have concerns or believe they could be affected by the changes are encouraged to submit representations. Copies of the application can be obtained by contacting Birmingham City Council’s licensing section via email at [email protected].
