Transforming O’Connor’s Outdoor Space with a Weinor Topas II
Take a look at this high-impact commercial awning installation in Wakefield for O’Connor’s Irish Bar, that we completed recently. Located in the heart of the city centre, the bar is known for its lively atmosphere and a wide pavement seating area, which plays a major role in attracting customers throughout the year.
A unique feature of O’Connor’s is its fully retractable glass frontage. During warmer months, the entire front of the bar folds back to create an open, seamless connection between the indoor bar area and the pavement outside. While this setup offers huge potential for increasing capacity, the venue required a durable, stylish, and weather-resistant solution to make the outdoor space comfortable and usable in varying conditions and for more than a few summer months.
After a thorough assessment, our team recommended and installed the Weinor Topas II, a robust commercial awning designed specifically for busy hospitality environments. The Topas II provides generous coverage across the full width of the premises, offering reliable shade in summer and effective shelter during rain or cooler weather. Its sleek design pairs perfectly with the bar’s contemporary dark exterior, adding some serious kerbside appeal while improving functionality and usable space.
Why Businesses Across Yorkshire & Beyond Trust Infinity Awnings
The installation was completed efficiently and integrated neatly with the bar’s existing structure, ensuring no obstruction to customer flow or pedestrian access. And with the new awning in place, O’Connor’s can now fully capitalise on its retractable frontage, transforming the pavement seating area into an attractive (almost) year round extension of the venue.
Since installation, the bar has seen notable benefits: increased outdoor capacity, improved customer comfort, and a more continental vibe. Once again, this commercial awning installation in Wakefield highlights Infinity Awnings’ expertise in delivering customised outdoor solutions that support hospitality businesses all year round.
