TWO new venues are set to open in the space of a former city centre nightclub.

Epic Bars and Clubs, who has taken over the former Alexander’s nightclub in New Street in Worcester, has announced they will be opening a new nightclub alongside a new cocktail lounge in the space.

The former nightclub, which closed in May and has remained empty since, will be converted into a new venue called Labyrinth with the neighbouring Tiki Room transformed into one of Epic’s Botanic cocktail bars offering bottomless brunches.

Nick Martindale from Epic Bars and Clubs said: “We’re not bringing just one venue to Worcester but we’re bringing two.  It’s going to be the first proper nightclub to come to the city for a decade.

“Botanic will offer cocktails and drinks and Labyrinth will offer the big night out afterwards.

“Botanic will be a really classy cocktail bar that will be open four nights a week. It will have luxurious VIP booths, high tables, really nice cocktails, its own DJs and entertainment and we’ll also be doing bottomless brunches.

“It will have really chilled vibes where you can kick back and put your feet up, have a nice cocktail, have a boogie if you’d like. Any customers will be offered priority access to the new nightclub a little bit later on if they want to continue their night.

“We’ve gathered a lot of research and spoke to a load of people about what Worcester is crying out for. It’s going to be tailored to what Worcester wants.”

The new Labyrinth nightclub will offer house and R&B music in its main room with cheesy pop and party music in a second room.

The proposed opening hours for the Labyrinth nightclub are 9.30pm to 3.30am on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday with the Botanic cocktail bar opening Thursday to Sunday between 5.30pm and 11.30pm.
