This building, in Queen’s Square, carries the numbers 35&37. It sits between the site of the former “Lifeboat “ bar J3474 : The Lifeboat bar, Belfast and “McHugh’s” J3474 : McHughs, Belfast (right). After many years of dereliction it was almost entirely rebuilt and, until very recently, was occupied by the business which has now moved “around the corner” to “The Boat” J3474 : "The Boat", Belfast. There is an application for planning permission “0472/F 35-41 Queens Square, Belfast Demolition of existing 3 storey building and erection of new 14 storey building comprising 75No. small unit/ studio apartments”.
