A PLUSH new lounge bar which includes a table with a 1,200 minimum spend is to open this week.

The Evening Express has been given exclusive access to see how Aberdeen’s One Diamond Street looks ahead of its opening.

The lounge bar will replace the city’s Mint Luxury Club, which was formerly Aurum nightclub.

City businessman Russell Davidson opens the new bar on Friday.

HOPEFUL: Russell Davidson is behind the project.

Mr Davidson has invested 250,000 in both the former Society now Eclectic Fizz Champagne Bar and Aurum premises.

The new lounge will consist of 32 tables with the minimum spend ranging from 100 to smaller four seater table to 1,200 for the “gold” 15-seater VIP table.
