Halifax nightlife: Fresh chapter for historic Halifax town centre building as new nightclub opens

Beyond is a new nightclub and event space which opened up on Commercial Street last weekend.

A thorough refurbishment has been carried out at the premises, which used to be Maggie’s and now has new owners, giving it a whole new look.

This includes reupholstering some of the booths and taking others out to open up the space.

The wooden floor has been painted and the booth area re-carpeted, the toilets have been revamped, a video wall has been installed on the back wall and there is now a photobooth for customers to enjoy.

The new owners of the building, Society Bar Group, already have other nightspots in Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract and Nottingham.

Their area manager Paul Lynch said they hope to start something new with Beyond.

"We want people to come here and know it’s different to Maggie’s,” he said.

"Maggie’s has been put to bed and this is the next chapter.”

As well as a nightclub, the owners want Beyond to be known as an event space which can be hired out, will run some daytime events and will diversify to include other attractions such as bingo parties.

The owners have also taken on the next door building which used to be McFly’s but is now POP Bar and Nightclub.

Both venues have had a good reaction since opening, said Paul.

DJ TS7 will be at Beyond on Friday and DJ Q has been booked for New Year’s Eve.
