TGI Fridays granted late night alcohol licence for Harrogate venue
TGI Fridays has been granted a late night alcohol licence for its planned Harrogate venue in the former Ask Italian restaurant on Albert Street.
The American restaurant chain submitted plans for a licence to Harrogate Borough Council back in March.
It was lodged under the company's new cocktail bar 63rd+1st, which opened its first UK venue last month in Cobham, Surrey.
The licensing application for Harrogate includes films, live music, recorded music, late night refreshment and the supply of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises from 9am to 0030am Monday to Sunday.

When the new brand was announced last year, Robert Cook, chief executive of Fridays and 63rd+1st, said in a statement that “audiences are becoming increasingly discerning and their attitudes towards food and drink are evolving”.
