Hotel Bar Fit-Out Project
Complete Bar Fit-Out Within a Hotel Setting — Hops Bar, Drogheda
Pendent Build and Fit Out delivered a full bar fit-out within an operational hotel environment, transforming an underutilised space into a striking, modern bar area engineered for both commercial functionality and lasting visual impact.
The Project
Transforming a Hotel Space into a Premium Bar Experience
Pendent Build and Fit Out completed a comprehensive fit-out of the bar within a hotel setting in Drogheda, delivering a bespoke, contemporary space tailored precisely to the client's operational and aesthetic requirements. The project involved the complete transformation of an existing area — stripping back to shell and rebuilding to a high specification.
From the outset, a strong focus was placed on premium finishes, intelligent layout design, and creating an atmosphere that would draw customers in and keep them coming back. Every element — from the bespoke joinery to the ambient lighting scheme — was carefully considered and executed with precision.
As experienced commercial fit-out contractors serving Leinster and beyond, Pendent Build and Fit Out managed every phase of this hotel fit-out in-house, ensuring continuity, accountability, and a smooth delivery from first fix through to final handover.

Scope of Work
What We Delivered
This bar fit-out project encompassed the full spectrum of construction and fit-out disciplines, coordinated seamlessly by the Pendent Build and Fit Out team. Working within a live hotel environment presented unique logistical challenges — all of which were managed without disruption to the wider property.
Strip-Out & Site Preparation
Full strip-out of the existing bar area, clearing all redundant fixtures, fittings, and services to create a clean, prepared shell ready for the new fit-out.
Bespoke Bar Counter & Joinery
Design and construction of a custom bar counter with bespoke joinery throughout, including back-bar cabinetry, shelving, and feature detailing crafted to the client's specification.
M&E Coordination
Full coordination of mechanical and electrical services, ensuring all pipework, drainage, power, and data infrastructure were installed correctly and in line with current regulations.
Lighting Design & Installation
A considered lighting scheme was designed and installed to create the right ambience — balancing functional task lighting with atmospheric feature lighting to enhance the customer experience.
Flooring, Finishes & Detailing
Premium flooring was selected and installed alongside high-specification wall finishes, tiling, and decorative detailing, ensuring every surface reflected the quality of the overall project.
Full Project Management
End-to-end project management and site oversight, coordinating all trades, suppliers, and programme milestones to deliver on time and to the highest standard.
