Two concepts shortlisted for renowned Restaurant & Bar Design Awards

Both Hill Street Hatch in Cathedral Quarter and The Toast Office on Hill Street have been shortlisted for the renowned Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.

Of the four concepts shortlisted in the European Visual Identity category, two were these successful Belfast-based concepts.

This pays testament to the unique design concepts of both brands, conceived in the City by design studio Crown Creative.

With offices in Belfast and Brooklyn, Crown Creative is a specialist hospitality design studio, founded and managed by Northern Irish native Ryan Crown.

Having garnered five years experience in New York working alongside some of the world’s best hospitality brands, including the Dead Rabbit and Marriott International, Ryan has returned home, and through concepts such as Hill Street Hatch and the Toast Office brings a new creative voice to hospitality within Northern Ireland.

The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards is the world’s leading independent competition dedicated to excellence in hospitality design and is a benchmark for the industry’s most creative and influential bars and restaurants.

Delighted with the nominations, Ryan hopes for success when the winners are announced on Thursday, October 14.
