The new private bar, in 14 Clifford Street, will have space for up to 80 people.
Owner Joe Moore; who owns the above Riverside Apartments, Lounge 46, and more - is building the bar to offer his tenants a private space for a drink in town.
However, others are allowed to visit the basement bar, as long as they book in advance.
"If you're ready early you can come down for a drink," Joe said.
