‘The Grand’, on the site of the former Grand Casino on Lord Street in Southport, will open this June, creating 60 new jobs.
The £3million transformation of one of Southport’s most historic sites is being led by Mikhail Hotel & Leisure Group (MHALG).
The site will consist of four high-end bars and a Brasserie restaurant.
One of the bars will be set in an exquisite 250-seater function / wedding suite that will look to attract weddings and conferences.
Two of the bars will be stylish rooftop terrace bars.
Mikhail Hotel & Leisure Group has already transformed the successful Bold Hotel, the Lord Street Hotel, the Lord Street Sports Bar and Punch Tarmey’s Irish themed bar on Lord Street, while also operating the feature bar in the centre of Southport Market.

There are various roles available which will be based within the much-anticipated new venue. Andrew Mikhail, Chairman of Mikhail Hotel and Leisure Group said: “I am thrilled to be able to create so many local jobs for the area with the regeneration of The Grand.
“The opening of this striking venue will attract both locals and tourists to enjoy a five-star experience and we need a five-star team in order to provide that experience.
“Those people that have visited other Mikhail Group venues will have experienced that high quality of service expected of our teams.
“I can’t wait to bring The Grand back to life and the staff will become the beating heart of the venue.

“Building a new team is incredibly exciting. There is some incredible local talent within the hospitality industry in Southport, people who have learnt their skills over many years, be it General Managers, Operations Managers, Food & Beverage Managers, Maître d’s, Waiters, Kitchen Porters, Chefs or Bar Tenders.
“We have some great opportunities for them to be part of something very exciting.
“If you feel you have the right qualities and experience to join our fast-growing company in any of the above roles, then we would love to hear from you.”
