Menagerie Restaurant& Bar is planning to expand its Manchester-based bar brand with up to five new outlets across the North.
The bar was opened at the New Bailey development last year by entrepreneur Karina Jadhav, and has since become a hotspot for the city's celebrity crowd including those from the reality TV show, The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
Seema Malhotra and Stacey Forsey from the show have gone into business together and are said to be investing in Jadhav's plans.
The venue is known for its opulent interiors including a giant golden birdcage booth, and for hosting live entertainment on the weekends, including wild and wonderful performers and aerialists on and around the huge catwalk at the heart of the main restaurant.
Jadhav is aiming to open four to five Menageries around the UK starting with other Northern powerhouse cities.
