A Harrogate nightlife venue finally looks set to re-open after being empty for five years.

The Wicked Wolf, which will be based in the former Potting Shed unit, is expected to open by December.

The company applied for permission to serve alcohol until 3am in the town centre site earlier this year.

It has now released a social media video announcing that work to transform the space has begun.

In the video, a spokesperson for Wicked Wolf called Lilly says the site will have a karaoke room, booths, large bars and different rooms with “different vibes, music wise.”

There will be live music throughout the week and DJs every Friday and Saturday.

The kitchen will serve food such as loaded fries and smash burgers and there is even a rainforest-themed area, which according to Lilly will be "perfect for your Instagram pictures".

The Wicked Wolf, which will open until 3am at weekends, will operate in unit 3 of the Royal Baths, at the back of the JD Wetherspoon pub.

The 7,000 square foot site was Rift & Co and Revolution before it became the Potting Shed. 

The actual opening day is expected to be announced shortly.
