A new bar is set to open in Starbeck after Harrogate Borough Council's licensing sub-committee granted it a licence to sell alcohol.
Robert Thompson, director of Appetite for Life, hopes to have The Waiting Room open in May, covid restrictions permitting.
The building at 34 High Street was previously occupied by Greenalls and Your Factory Bed Shop, but has stood empty for some time. The name of the bar ties in to its location near Starbeck railway station.
Mr Thompson told the committee this morning that he hopes the bar will attract a different clientele to the nearby Prince of Wales pub.
He said:
Appetite for Life' already runs a number of bars in the Harrogate district including the So Bars in Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon, and the Tap on Tower Street.
The bar will also sell coffee from 7am Monday to Saturday and from 9am on Sunday, with a deli counter open during each day. It will close at 11.30pm Monday to Wednesday and 00.30am during the rest of the week.
