A new opening date hasn’t yet been announced but progress is being made.
An application has been submitted to Adur & Worthing Councils for a new premises licence, to allow the sale of alcohol, provision of regulated entertainment and the sale of late night refreshment.
The club also hopes to play live and recorded music.
If approved, the club would be able to sell alcohol, and provide 'regulated entertainment', from 9.30am to 12.30am, the following morning, from Monday to Sunday.

Speaking last month, Mick said: "We obviously survived the pandemic, lockdowns and the expense of moving to new brighter premises so you can imagine how much of a struggle this has been. The last two years have been challenging to say the least.
"We certainly couldn’t have achieved this without some good old fashioned help from our patrons helping with moving, tradesman doing work for next to nothing." Click here to read more
