Old Stalybridge nightclub set to become new food hall with 1940s bar and jazz restaurant

A former Stalybridge nightclub, Rififi, may soon transform into a food hall called 'The Palace.' This new venue will feature a 1940s themed bar and a jazz restaurant, shifting the focus from nightlife to dining. The proposal includes refurbishing the building and adding a canopy. The historic site, which was once the Palace Cinema, aims to revitalize the area and support the local economy. Planning documents highlight the project's goal to restore the building's appearance while preserving its historical significance. The design will reflect Art Deco influences, aligning with the area's heritage policies.
