Fifth Avenue, the iconic Manchester nightclub on Princess Street, has closed down for good.
According to Manchester City Council, the venue’s licence was ‘surrendered by the licence holder, 5th Leisure Limited, on 23/11/2021’.
The venue, which had been renamed simply Fifth in recent years, has been shuttered since the beginning of the pandemic in March, 2020.
But it’s now confirmed that it will not be reopening.
Contacted by the Manchester Evening News, owners 5th Leisure declined to comment on the closure.
According to licencing documents, the basement nightclub had plans to undergo renovations and refurbishments related to sound proofing as recently as last September.
However, other documents relating to a planned ‘reconfiguration’ of the club’s layout submitted to Manchester City Council recommended that the club’s application be refused.
It referred to ‘significant noise complaints’ about the club dating all the way back to 2006.
Immediately above the club is the Dwell Student Living apartments, the owners of which had also objected to the plans for reconfiguring the club.
The Council’s Licensing and Out of Hours team (LOOH) said in a document published in July last year that ‘with an existing abatement notice in force and for the aforementioned reasons LOOH recommend that the application is refused’.
According to posts on social media, staff at the club believed that the plan was to reopen the venue after the refurbishment had been completed.
However, with the license for the club now surrendered, the club is now effectively shut down.
The venue, which is beneath the Dwell Student Living apartments, has also been boarded up for some time.
The building at 121 Princess Street is currently owned by Centurion
