Halifax pub wants to open until 4am
A Halifax town centre wants to serve alcohol and play music until 4am, according to a licencing application.
The Courtyard, at Wards End, has applied to extend its opening hours from 11pm to 2am on Sunday to Thursday, and to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The variation would allow the pub to serve alcohol and food with live and recorded music playing into the early hours of the morning.
According to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), the “unusual building” was originally built as Holly House in the 1750s for a lawyer and converted “at great cost” into the Bass House with small beer gardens in the back and front.
The current formation has two bar areas, two dining areas, and a large panelled pool room.
“The decor, accompanied by dark timbers, is a touch Georgian, whilst a column opposite the entrance was a feature of the original stairwell,” writes CAMRA.
Customers have been positive about the pub in recent reviews, calling it “really friendly” and “more inviting” since its latest refurbishment.
Calderdale residents have until November 25 to share their views on the application.
