Indoor mini golf, bar and restaurant could soon be coming to Derry under new proposals

Plans have been submitted to bring a new indoor mini golf restaurant and bar to Derry.

Glen Road Properties Limited has submitted an application to situate the new mini golf facility at the former site of the Flamin Jacks restaurant.

If approved, the site will be adjoined to the Holiday Inn Hotel site on the Strand Road.

The Derry hotel - which is the second biggest in the city - opened its doors in 2019 and is located a short walk from some of the city's popular attractions.

Meanwhile, plans have also been submitted to transform a former Derry pub into short-let apartments.

It's understood that the applicant has intentions to convert the former site of the Clarendon Bar into six tourist apartments.

Several planning applications have already been lodged previously with Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) within the last six years at this location.

In September 2016, plans were initially lodged to turn the spot into a two-floor nightclub. However, the application was changed in 2017 when a second application was lodged with DCSDC planning officers.

That application sought to bring a new three-storey cocktail bar and restaurant to the city which, at the time, was anticipated to be called 'The Tipsy Bird'. The proposals never materialised.

Shane Birney Architects, based in Ebrington, have now been tasked with providing designs for the new applications before they come before the council's planning committee in due course.
