October 1983 Terry Jennings announced he was prepared to sell the lease for 20 years. He had purchased the freehold the previos year. This would only be for the ground floor. The lease was eventually purchased by Peter Freeman and Frank Embleton, both of whom said the business was to continue in the same fashion, apart from some refurbishment. By 1985 what had been the cafe on the first floor in the days of the Doric Cinema had become Pacino's Wine bar.

March 1988 saw Terry Lake and Robin Taylor take on the lease from Peter Freeman and Frank Embleton. They had run Pacino's Wine bar upstrairs for three years previously Later that year exetensive alterations were made internally.

After closing for alteration, in January 1993, the ground level re-opened as "Celebrities" in February 1993.
De Niros was opersating on the first floor as a members club and Pacino's, also at that level was classed a similar to a pub. In February 1993 the licensees of De Niro's and pacino's were Terry Lake, Robin Taylor and Craig Hilton.
In late 1999 Terry Lake and Robin Taylor, after some five years of bsttling with the planners, received permission to alter the premises. The alterations would increase the total capacity from 700 to 1,800. The work included De Niro's, Pacino's and Celebrities.

Not much has been recorded of the history since 1999. This will have to be an "ongoing" project
