Alfredo Lounge will welcome locals looking for a space for regular catch ups, meetings, and events – everything from business networking, book or knitting clubs to parent and baby meets and life drawing classes.

Gemma Irwin, community manager at Loungers, says: “We’re so looking forward to opening the doors of Alfredo Lounge in October.

"We hope our family friendly environment and top-notch food and drink offering will prove popular with local residents.

“We’re passionate about integrating genuinely into the communities we serve so we’re looking forward to meeting everyone and to playing our part at the heart of Louth’s food and drink scene.

"Anyone looking for a space to host events or groups should pop in once we’re open, we’d love to hear from them and see what we can do to help.”

It has also been confirmed that 25 jobs are also set to be created at Alfredo Lounge, with a range of front and back-of-house roles on offer.
