SNEAK PEAK | Panacea's Refurbishment By Bernard Carroll

Manchester's continental designer gets his hands on a renowned Basement

SNEAK PEAK | Panacea's Refurbishment By Bernard Carroll

PANACEA, the decade old club and bar under the Restaurant Bar and Grill on John Dalton Street, is being reborn.

Entertainment is a form of fashion. This is the lead element in the creation of the new Panacea.

Well-known interior designer Bernard Carroll has overseen a complete re-working of the interior.

There will be 'a much darker colour palette with a new central DJ booth, plus new textural elements including bespoke hand cut mosaic glass murals. Other upgrades include a complete new sound and lighting system.'

Carroll says: "One's style does not change but evolves over time. So do habits, desires and occupations. The Panacea brief has not changed that much from the original, other than tweaks that have come with a 10-year experience. Entertainment is a form of fashion. This is the lead element in the creation of the new Panacea, with the understanding that we are not aiming to create within the current trend but create an environment for the future."

The Panacea second coming will be have a launch event on March 26 2015. Tickets can be requested from Panacea's social channels or picked up from Restaurant Bar and Grill, Manchester.
