Harrogate bar bids to stay open until 6.30am

A Harrogate bar has applied to extend its operating hours until 6.30am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Best Bar opened a year ago next to Santorini Express on Parliament Street and already describes itself as a bar and night club.

It is a wine and cocktail bar in the evenings and on Fridays and Saturdays also offers music and DJs from 9.30pm.

In March last year, it successfully applied to Harrogate Borough Council to extend its operating hours from 11.30pm to 4am.

It has now applied to the council to further extend the hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 6.30am.

A spokesman at Best Bars told the Stray Ferret the recent demise of nearby Viper Rooms meant it was the "only bar in Harrogate with proper nightclub music and DJs" and many people did not want to go home at 4am.

He said the club had already successfully trialled some temporary extensions until 6.30am and they proved successful because people were able to party longer and there were fewer problems caused by everyone having to leave at a time when many weren't ready to do so. He added:

"It made a huge difference and was a great success all round."


Last month Mojo in Harrogate applied to extend its opening hours until 6.30am as the Harrogate late night scene continues to evolve following the closure of Viper Rooms.
