Hide AdIt will adopt a similar look to the ‘downtown chic’ surroundings of the existing Merrion Street site, but offer a larger food menu for up to 150 diners.
The company said the new bar and restaurant would create 60 full and part-time jobs in the local area.
Chief executive Martin Wolstencroft said: “I’m extremely proud to be developing the Manahatta brand.
“The prestigious Greek Street location is a fantastic setting and will complement the existing Merrion Street site perfectly.”
He said the investment – announced as Manahatta marks its second anniversary – would allow the creation of brand which could be rolled out to other cities in future.
