The Hard Rock Café and Thai Edge restaurant chains have taken space at the £18.5m Old Brewery Quarter scheme in Cardiff.
Hard Rock Café is taking 6,626 sq ft (616 sq m) and Thai Edge is taking 7,101 sq ft (660 sq m), with both restaurants to be split over two levels.
The Old Brewery Quarter, which is being developed jointly by Mansford Holdings, Countryside Properties and brewer SA Brain, is now 70% let and is set to open in the spring of 2003.
It comprises 53,709 sq ft (4,990 sq m) of shops and restaurants grouped around a central piazza, together with 42 loft-style flats and penthouses and some office space, on the old SA Brain brewery at St Mary Street.
Other tenants include:
- bar/restaurant operator Future 3000
- SA Brain itself, running a bar
- La Tasca, a Spanish tapas bar
Hard Rock Café’s Old Brewery Quarter restaurant will be its first in Cardiff.
In March, Hard Rock Café announced that it was looking for a Cardiff site, after talks about opening a restaurant at the city’s Custom House broke down.
EJ Hales and Stephenson & Alexander are joint agents on the Old Brewery Quarter.
