Plans for a £2million redevelopment of the decaying former Budz Bar could be scuppered.
Allan Smith and Bruce Porter are preparing to redevelop the building, which has lay vacant since 2007, into a multistory mini-golf, cocktail bar and restaurant venue.
One of the proposals sent to Aberdeen City Council includes covering the rear exterior in corten steel, with modern lights to spruce up the look.
"We have spent months clearing the place out, it’s now fully stripped and we are ready to start as soon as we are given the go-ahead," Allan said.
"We have cleared tonnes of debris. But to start, we need to know what we can proceed with and how."
He continued: "Aberdeen city centre needs investment, and it needs bold ideas, and that’s what we want to do.
"We just need permission to get started and it’s frustrating having to wait so long."
