A popular bar will expand into a second venue after an application for a new premises licence was successful.
Against the Grain, which opened two years ago in Bramley, is set to open a new premises in Yeadon.
An application for the sale of alcohol at the venue at Regency House on Kirk Lane was granted by Leeds City Councilās licensing sub-committee.
A hearing on Tuesday was told the application had attractedĀ one letter of objection on the grounds of public nuisance. The hours alcohol will be sold were reduced to 11am-10pm each day.
Owen Wilson, the dedicated premises supervisor, told the hearing: āWe are not a club. Weāre not a city centre bar. We are trying to build a local community pub that people feel safe to come to. We want to operate a business that will stand the test of time.ā
Against the Grain has an existing venue at Swinnow Grange Mills, Stanningley Road, Bramley. As reported by WLD last June, the owners received planning permission to expand the premises following a successful opening two years ago.
Against The Grain offers craft beers, cocktails and food including pizza, meat and cheese platters.
The new licence application was granted, subject to conditions agreed with the council.
