The news comes almost a year since Harrogate Borough Council granted Samantha Nelson a new alcohol licence.
Previous landlord John Nelson, Ms Nelson's father, lost the licence when police found customers drinking outside and not observing social distancing rules during the weekend of May 30, 2020.
Nelson is well-known in the Harrogate area — he was landlord for 33 years and raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities.
