BrewDog to make Northern Ireland debut in Belfast

The Belfast Telegraph​ reports​​ the pub operator and brewer will open at the new transport hub, which is due to begin a phased opening starting 8 September.

BrewDog hinted back in 2021 that it was eyeing plans to open a site in Belfast. 

In addition to its UK estate, Scotland-based BrewDog operates a large bar in Dublin as well as locations in markets around the world.

Discussing the opening of Belfast’s Grand Central Station, Chris Conway, Translink group chief executive, told BBC Good Morning Ulster:​ “We will be opening up the station in phases, and also for operational reasons. 

“The first phase will be on Sunday, September 8 when we will move operations from Europa Bus Centre to Grand Central Station… the railway will move shortly after that and the date is to be confirmed.”

Speaking about the new hospitality and retail offerings at the station, Conway added: “This is the largest integrated station on the island of Ireland and has very modern, advance feature, lots of accessibility… new retail offerings such as M&S, Pret A Manger and BrewDog for example, really adding to the regeneration of Belfast.”
