Top Terrigal bar set for Extreme Makeover

Terrigal's Florida Beach Bar and lilikoi have closed for a $2.9 million renovation that will combine the alfresco bar and diner with the popular lounge into one entertainment and dining emporium.

Set to reopen late-September, the new all-weather venue will seat up to 700 inside in addition to incorporating the alfresco garden terrace overlooking Terrigal Beach.

Details on the redesign are being treated as a closely guarded secret, with plans for unveiling celebrations already underway.

"These two venues have gone through several changes and incarnations over the years, however this is going to be the biggest transformation Terrigal has seen to date. We're really excited about what's in store, and we're looking forward to sharing those plans with our regular patrons and the Central Coast as the unveiling draws closer," said Crowne Plaza Terrigal general manager, David Bark.

During the course of the renovations, Crowne Plaza Terrigal offers a number of dining alternatives, such as Seasalt restaurant and Lord Ashley Lounge.
