A brand new speakeasy cocktail bar is set to open in Harrogate this week.
Over & Above is set to launch on Cheltenham Crescent at 5pm on Thursday (6th March).
It will be located above the Little Ale House in Harrogate town centre.
The new bar will offer drinks and service that “go over and above the norm”, according to owner Rich Hamer.
He said:
“I’ve been working in the hospitality industry for the last 17 years and I’ve always wanted to open my own bar.
“I’m really excited to open the doors for Over and Above on Thursday at 5pm.”
Rich discovered his love for cocktails when he was running cocktail bars in Edinburgh 14 years ago whilst studying for his MSc in Brewing and distilling at Heriot Watt University.
After graduating, he moved to London and worked as the Head of Prestige and Advocacy across the UK for Sipsmith Gin.
Over 10 years with Sipsmith, he worked and built lasting relationships with some of the best bartenders from across the globe.
He added:
“The team has been hard at work getting the bar ready and we can’t wait to share Over and Above with you all.”
