A popular pub in Tynemouth has made an application to amend their alcohol licence so they can permanently open an outside bar.
The Gibraltar Rock, located near Tynemouth Priory, wants to serve alcohol in the outdoor area next to their main entrance until 9.30pm. The venue has already built the outdoor serving kiosk after gaining planning permission and a retail and town centre grant.
However manager Nicholas Robinson said they are using a temporary licence as their current one only extends to their front door. He said they have applied to be able serve alcohol outside after noticing a "change in attitude" following the coronavirus pandemic.
