63rd+1st cocktail bar and restaurant in Harrogate to close
The company confirmed today it would cease trading in Harrogate next month and blamed the 'current economic climate'.
The 63rd+1st cocktail bar and restaurant in Harrogate is to close, less than a year after opening.
The venue opened in the former Ask Italian restaurant on Albert Street on November 26 last year.
But the company confirmed today it would cease trading in Harrogate on November 13.
A spokesperson for 63rd+1st said:
“We have made the difficult decision to close our 63rd+1st location in Harrogate.
"Whilst it has been popular with guests, the current economic climate has impacted trading – as it has done across the wider hospitality industry.
"We would like to sincerely thank our team for their hard work, and loyal guests for their support.”

63rd+1st was set up by TGI Fridays UK. Named after the street in New York that was home to the original TGI Fridays, its Harrogate venue joined the likes of Yo Sushi! and Estabulo on Albert Street last year.
The restaurant area
The company said at the time it would generate 30 part-time and full-time jobs. Those affected were told the news today.
The restaurant, lounge and bar was built to seat 101 people and to serve Manhattan street food.
The company said it wanted to attract customers ranging from early morning coffee drinkers to late evening drinkers.
