The Terrace sports bar in York has applied to convert unused upper floors into 11 guest bedrooms.

The Terrace sports bar in York has applied to City of York Council to convert unused upper floors into 11 guest bedrooms, citing challenges facing the hospitality industry.

The bar, which moved to New Street in 2023, would create bedrooms ranging from about 14 square metres to nearly 31 square metres, covering a combined 240 square metres. No alterations are proposed to the bar itself.

The operator, Paul Gardner, who has 30 years' experience as a landlord in York and surrounding villages, said the bedrooms would bring currently unused areas into commercial use and provide additional income during what he described as 'the current harsh economic climate being experienced by the hospitality sector'. The application also states the development would improve the bar's economic viability, provide extra accommodation in the city centre and contribute to its vitality.
