Industry on Ocean Road has confirmed that it will finally open on Monday when the Government lifts all the coronavirus restrictions currently in place.

The club, which is the sister venue to Jade’s popular Arbeia bar next door, was due to open for the first time in March last year but had to postpone its launch event when the coronavirus pandemic led to the national lockdown.
