New Mexican restaurant to open in Harrogate tomorrow
A Mexican restaurant and cocktail bar is to open in Harrogate tomorrow.
The Rooftop is situated in the large upstairs premises above Sukhothai on the corner of Cheltenham Crescent and Cheltenham Parade.
The short-lived HG1 Grill and World Bar opened on the site in November last year. It was previously occupied by restaurants Samsons and Le Bistrot Pierre.
The Rooftop is divided into two areas — a restaurant that can seat about 70 people and a cocktail bar that can cater for about 100 customers.
The restaurant will serve Mexican meals, including tacos and burritos, and will feature tapas options.
The restaurant area
The late night bar will have live DJs at weekends.
Owner Mason Elyas, who lives in Leeds, has been involved with several restaurants in West Yorkshire but this is his first in Harrogate. He said:
The Rooftop, which employs 16 staff, will welcome its first customers at 4pm tomorrow. It will then open from 4pm to midnight on Thursdays, from midday to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and from midday to 10pm on Sundays.
It will be closed Monday to Wednesday.
Mr Elyas said he took control of the site just three weeks ago and new signs were due to be installed tonight.
