Proposals for another Everton-themed bar a stone’s throw away from the club’s new stadium has been given the green light just days before the club hosts its first league match at its new home.
Liverpool Council has signed off on a bid for a new bar on Regent Road.
The business, which is being set up by directors involved in two venues in Kirkby, has secured a premises licence for a disused warehouse in the shadow of Hill Dickinson Stadium. It is one of several new applications being lodged for the docklands area as the Blues begin life away from Goodison Park.
After representations were made by the city council’s planning department, terms have been agreed for the bar to operate until midnight. Applicant James Williams had been hoping to open the venue for an additional hour until 1am.
Planning permission for the site was granted in March, permitting it to open from 11am to midnight Monday to Friday and from 10am to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays. This would be for the sale of alcohol on and off the premises as well as entertainment such as live and recorded music.
