Welcome to the 63rd + 1er. The city’s newest cocktail bar and restaurant was presented in all its glory last night, Thursday, November 25, with a champagne reception at his home at Westgate House on Albert Street.

The first 63rd + 1st opened in Cobham, Surrey, in May this year, while the opening of the second site took place in Glasgow in September.
Speaking to 63rd & 1st General Manager Eva Souza, the pride of this new Harrogate hotspot inspired by the New York street famous for its bars and restaurants, a place where the very first TGI Fridays bar opened in 1965, is evident amid the buzz and glitter and chatter.
Eva Souza said: “It is not only important to be stylish, we try to provide a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for a good night out for everyone no matter what you are planning.
