Iconic landmark transformed into barber shop and coffee house
An iconic landmark of the Isle of Man’s entertainment industry has been given a new lease of life by a former TT rider.
Paramount City – on Douglas Promenade – has reopened its doors after extensive renovation as a barber shop and coffee house.
It’s the brainchild of Richard ‘Milky’ Quayle and his wife Lydia who hope to make the venue a continental style café bar.
They’ll be applying for an alcohol licence in due course.
Milky told Manx Radio he knows it’s a difficult time for the hospitality industry:

£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
