Historic Adelaide pub Brighton Metro Hotel will
get a new lease on life this year, with a $2.6million renovation that will
re-vamp the buffet, sports bar & gaming room. Pub operator Australian Venue
Co is undertaking the renovation to restore the 175 year old pub and tailor
it’s offering to the modern Brighton community. Work is currently underway in
the buffet & bar, with the official re-opening slated for June this year.
The locally-loved buffet, Charlie’s Diner, will
remain the star of the show, with a fresh new look, more comfortable seating
& a new menu that the whole family will enjoy. The revitalised public bar,
kids play area and new beer garden will create an all-day hangout for Brighton
locals and sports fans.
Established in 1846, Brighton Metro Hotel has
been serving the Brighton community for 175 years.
“It’s an historic pub with a unique offering,
so we’re excited to breathe some new life into it. We’re designing the entire
venue with the local community in mind, so we’re being careful to preserve the
elements people love while also bringing in exciting new offerings and a fresh
new design,” explains Chief Operating Officer, Craig Ellison.
Venue Manager Matt Rundle is looking to hire
locally for the re-opening and is seeking to expand his team by adding up to 40
new jobs, with both front of house and back of house opportunities available.
The renovation is part of a move by Australian
Venue Co to revitalise historic pubs across Australia and return the pubs to
the local community by improving the design, fit out & offering.
Brighton Metro Hotel is slated to re-open in
June 2021, but parts of the venue will remain open throughout the staged
renovation. Opening celebration plans are already underway that will see a
locals’ night for the Brighton community to take a first look at the full venue
reveal and take the new food & drink menus for a spin.
